Requiem For A Dream is dedicated to my old best-mate, Craig 'CRACK YOUR SKULL' Watkins. He's the one who inspired and encouraged me to become a DJ, and the reason I'm still standing. Be sure to check out CRACK YOUR SKULL's brilliant WAR OF THE WORLDS mixes right here on the ibar musicblog > http://ibarmusic.blogspot.com/2009/01/crack-your-skull-war-of-worlds-mix.html

This little mash-up was for him, and closed the set:

DECK'ARDS 'Requiem For A Dream' (LIVE @ ibar)

2009-02-01T13:27:00.000-08:00

DECK'ARDS 'Requiem For A Dream' (LIVE @ ibar)

On Friday @ THE WIRED I played the DJ set OF MY LIFE! :D

I'm so proud of this, the best thing I have EVER done! I always wanted to be a DJ ... =)

http://ibar.com/media/requiemedit.mov
http://ibar.com/media/requiemteaser.mov
http://ibar.com/media/requiemteaser2.mov

Track #4 was the first play ANYWHERE in the WORLD of ADAM SKY'S (aka motherfucking ADAMSKI!) remake of the best dance track of the 90's > KILLER! :D

The edit is also available for iPod/iPhone:

http://ibar.com/media/requiemeditipod.mov

DECK'ARD = DIGITAL DJ, and this set is also a good demonstration of what this little set-up can do:

2 x Pioneer CDJ400's
1 x Korg Kaoss KM-202 Mixer (aka the 'Jesus Mixer')
2 x 8GB Memory Sticks (around 1000 mp3's on each, no CD's/Vinyl/laptop are used)
1 x Sony ICD-UX71aS MP3 Digital Recorder

This was recorded live @ ibar, with no editing and all Kaoss effects were performed in realtime, mid-set. The Kaoss Mixer makes things SO much more creative, and makes MUCH more sense having the Kaoss Pad BUILT-IN to the mixer, giving you intuitive control of both channels. You are effectively remixing the tracks you play in realtime, and adding your 'touches' to the artist's work. It also makes EVERY Kaoss DJ set TOTALLY unique, and you could never re-create it even if you tried! A TRULY one-off experience for the punters ... =)

Next-Generaton DJ'ing BABY! :D

-

The full 5 hours 27 minute-long set, with 111 (count 'em!) tracks will be available to download from zShare soon ...

Simian Mobile Disco, Daft Punk, John B, Prodigy, Robots In Disguise!, Treasure Fingers, Fake Blood, SPYPER, Lock N Load, Fischerspooner, Ladytron, Utah Saints, Goose, Waldorf, Snap!, Planet Funk, Chemical Brothers, Boy 8-Bit, Benny Benassi, Soulwax ...

Until then, ENJOI! \(^_^)/

.... and see you next time for Blade Runner! ;)

Deck'ard's '3-Stage Detox For The Soul' (aka 'MUSIC THERAPY') :D

2009-01-27T19:53:00.000-08:00

I've been working on a little side-project inbetween ibar 3.0, Camden, moving flat and everything else (my life currently seems to be on Fast-Forward!) ...

> Deck'ard's '3-Stage Detox For The Soul'
https://www.yousendit.com/download/WnBTQk13Q3RLVlVLSkE9PQ
(this link will expire in 14 days, so get downloading people! These are HUGE bitches! ;)

As everyone I know seems to have been going through (and still is going through) a LOT of shit the last few months, I've put together some 'MUSIC THERAPY'. Because music is POWERFUL shit, which is why we've been making it ever since Day 1. Although fortunately we've progressed a bit further than just banging rocks with sticks! Because as well as ibar, hospitals, and my friends, it was MUSIC that kept me standing =)

Here are 3 sets of tunes, from many genres, and from many decades, so there will be something for EVERYONE:

Daft Punk, Eminem, Snap!, Harold Faltermeyer, Crookers Vs. Kid Cudi, Primal Scream, Hot Chip, The Charlatans, Air, Armand Van Helden, Portishead, Moby, Just Jack, Puretone, Eric Prydz Vs. Pink Floyd, Run DMC Vs. Jason Nevins, Babylon Zoo, Outkast, Gorillaz, Ice Cube, Gary Numan, Princess Superstar, B.B.E., All Saints, George Michael, Fiction Factory, Mylo, Wu-Tang Clan, Morcheeba, Groove Armada, The Crystal Method, Justice ...

Each set though, shares a similar THEME ... ;)

So, if you are feeling a bit shit, PUT SOME FUCKING MUSIC ON! :D

DETOX INSTRUCTIONS:

Listen to tracks from Stage 1, then Stage 2, then Stage 3. As many as you have time for from each set (there's 25 in each), but do so in the right order of stages. Music can either lift you up, or push you down. Depending on how the person who created it was feeling, and what message they were trying to get across.

This is what my DJ sets as Deck'ard are all about after all, just I only play the UPLIFTING stuff now ... :D

After Stage 3, if you are not feeling a bit better, ibar will give you your money back! And you know where to come for more of the same by any new artists you discover during the detox process ... ;)

As the VERY wonderful Client would say:

"Satisfaction Guaranteed"

Enjoi! \(^_^)/

Fancy a change of pace amongst the onslaught of Fidget/Tech-House? Thought so!

Here's a Nu Disco set from Add2Basket from Hungary, and it's WONDERFUL ...

Nu Disco (Kris Menace, Fred Falke, Alan Braxe ...) is lighter, more melodic, and just sounds fucking AMAZING!

And '09 is going to be FULL of it! :D

Crack Your Skull - War Of The Worlds

2009-01-12T14:50:00.000-08:00

Right, let's get this musicblog off with a BANG, and start as we mean to go on ...

A bit of a catch-up to do before I DELUGE you in new stuff, so first the best of the recent few months which you may have missed. Beginning with Crack Your Skull's MAGNIFICENT War Of The Worlds mixes ...

CRACK YOUR SKULL were ibar's first homegrown success story. Quickly moving from bedroom DJ's to playing LEGENDARY London electro nights such as NAG NAG NAG. This is their best work to date in my opinion, and the sign of MUCH bigger things to come.

Trust me, they won't be just MIXING tracks if I have anything to say in the matter! Especially as ibar will soon have an inhouse studio :D

Remember the name ... ;)
