the lucky bar has an excellent 90's night on monday nights which is good times central. yes that's right a 90's night. i know it's not the first 90's night like it claims to be, but dude! they have a giant 90210 poster and it kicks ass.

i think that some people dressed up as their favorite 90210 characters and then tried to figure out which character i was. well there is no half east indian half white guy on 90210 that i recall but they all WERE tanned so i coulda been anyone. i had the sideburns going too, yeah pretty suite.

some of the excellent tunes played on monday night:

• Black Box - Strike it Up
  
• C&C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat
  
• MC Zar and the Real McCoy - Just Another Night
  
• Haddaway - What Is Love?
  
• Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam

wow man Captain Hollywood was injecting subliminal lyric genius into us while we were dancing in highschool. gosh! i had no idea. that's my pal krystle in the pic from highschool. she does an excellent napoleon d. voice.

One of my favorite tracks by Micah (from Calgary) is Capable Space. It's got a bit of funk, a bit of eeriness, and some truly great moments. Justin agreed, and we had Micah on Pacific Front with this release. Jarius Miller actually did two remixes of this, the other one of which can be found on the Storm Warning 002 EP. I did a half breaks, half progressive remix (because you know I love that half and half versatility in a set) that I recently remastered and put in a Pacific Front Sessions show.

1. Micah - Capable Space (Original mix)
2. Micah - Capable Space (AFK's Chehalis Space Station remix)
3. Micah - Capable Space (Jarius Miller's Headverb remix)

is this
how
you were found
like a star
fallen
to the ground

as you fall
you make no sound
wish for a place you want to be
lying still, flowers all around

in my dreams
i see you
falling down

this morning, myself and justin were on the A Channel (formerly the New VI, channel 12 locally) showing how we add, subtract, and manipulate electronic instruments live. afterwards, kenzie and miche showed how DJing works and bruce beil gave a speil on the whole Victoria Electronic Music Festival concept. lots of fun thanks to the coffee that we were on. i was up at 5:45 this morning to get everything in order.. also we were on CBC this morning at 8:15 AM on 90.5 FM with Jeff Weaver .. all the pieces are coming together for VEMF.. it is an exciting time for certain. lots to do yet -- a 1.5 hour live performance for me and Justin / Formulate on Saturday night from 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM on the main stage in Centenial Square, and also some music making seminars that we are putting on in the daytime in the Music Production Booth with myself, Anand, Justin and possibly Charles.
