Ethereal Sunrise

Sooo... its the summer again, and instead of pouring my heart out on here using my newly found proficient articulation, I'm posting my songs i created on Logic Audio. The 1st installment is a remix of Dennis Edwards - Don't look any further. A classic Mo-Town record I revamped in a contemporary Dubstep chillout version.... ENJOY, and critise/comment! x

2010...

Another year. Another realisation that cliche resolutions are undoubtedly going to be defied... and doesn't it feel GREAT! (no sarcasm intended)
Now this is not another pessimistic outlook underlining everything that Britain has done wrong or will do wrong, but more looking at the positives that can be taken from a quite average year. This apparent optimism stems from my ending to 2009. Celebrating the cycle of the calendar in quite sensational fashion, with the biggest names in the DJ world... it was heaven! I danced away what seemed to be lingering negativity, which my resolutions were established *drum rolls* to be more positive. I aim to look forward to big events and not be weighed down by everyday routine. Accept and Embrace.... Accept and Embrace, and ultimately SMILE :D <-----
I was beginning to feel disheartened in my university life style and the work that was involved. Doing a hard course demands copious amounts of effort put in. Gym work was getting insipid whilst sports would take a back seat to watching reruns of Dragons Den, Friends or Scrubs. I am a STRONG believer of the motto "things happen for a reason" and maybe this NYE event needed to happened in order for me to comprehend matters and inevitably grow up.
I want to fixate myself at looking at where this will take me. This degree will open many doors for me and in my mind send me to places I dream about... Why be so negative?
My sports and training will give me a purpose and goals to achieve. Plus an outstanding body to result in... Why be so negative?
I could be in a much more horrendous place then Loughborough, but in fact I've met some fantastic people and who offer more then friendship but also give a different perspective on life. And the university is second to none in the engineering field... Why be so negative?
All in all I do not have a bad life. Maybe if this same conception was viewed by everyone, that spring would be reignited in the steps of those with defeatists attitudes.
Now I am looking to keep this positivity, interact with new people and go to events other then Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday student nights. Giving me more to look forward to. This is going to act as my affirmation and when times revert to unenthusiastic ways i will look back on this blog entry and remind myself... Why. be. so. negative?

Legal highs....

The word on everyones lips, the topic on everyone's minds.... "legal highs"... let me set the scene...

A young virile male, at the prime of his life. In university, in gyms, in pubs, in clubs and repeat. A small town university, not naming places, but its very close to Loughborough. There's only sooo many times u can go to the same house pre-drinking, same route crowd-chanting, and same club ending in the same finale, which includes throwing your arms in the air and rejoicing to the latest girls aloud track at the top of your voice... admittedly may just be me, but you get my point...

At the end of the 1st semester doing this week in week out, the mind starts to get a little apathetic towards the routine. "I want something new, I want to be a part of a fucking music revolution!" Enter: DUBSTEP... I'm not going to act like I'm ahead of the scene, an innovator for the movement in music, I'm plain and simply a minion, or to those who like to speak in metaphors, "a sheep." i enjoyed this movement, it was fresh, exciting. I attended events, downloaded the tracks, it felt right.

Being in this movement i met a lot of new people who were as up for trying new things as I was. This is where i was formally introduced to the latest craze 'mcat.' Throughout my life I have always been apprehensive towards drugs, but this time was different, in the spirit of trying new things I thought why not?...

Now this episode was played out with 5 lads sitting round the table, taking lines, and listening to tunes off a set of portable speakers. In turn taking this mcat and reveling in the affects. It put me on another level, made me feel more amazing then I ever have done. Dancing on the spot and talking within the group for hours on end. The sense of empathy surrounded us all as each person revealed their utmost feelings. We were conversing in a manner that would only be suitable when pleasantly inebriated, but there was no overspill on emotion. No tears fell, and everyone felt so elated. The only thing that was missing, was a huge dirty club blasting out the filthiest bass lines, but with this being my 1st time, i was happy with the proceedings. The room was full of raw emotion, guy love, and an abundance of energy throughout. We were happy about EVERYTHING and any unsettling thoughts were expressed.

The comedown we experienced was minimal, a lot of sleep was needed after an all-nighter pursued, not much side affects, all i can say is that the ends definitely justified the means. A new years eve party is set to take place, with a host of dubstep and dnb artists performing their latest DJ set, now I'll leave this with your judgement, will I be taking this now illegal 'legal high' which will last me and elevate my night, or stick to overpriced alcohol ineluctably resulting in me forgetting big patches in a night i will not want to miss.... hmmm hard decision
