yo

guess what i am doing!#$%$&#$%!@@#$!#!@~
i am getting ready to play at hush on saturday night. braeden and myself will be laying down the old-school trance massives, think of it like the classive shows were on RGM. oh yes, right proper massive. i’ve shortlisted 2/3’s of my records so far and i have .. well, a hell of a lot. i have no idea what is in the last third. i did not think i had this many records.
life is good. life is taking some unexpected turns .. and i like it.
the proton set is online.. will be posting a link to it this weekend 😉
see you saturday night at hush!

here i am .. in a new setting. i wont show you the place yet, it isn’t done. we are going to do a few more things to it and for it ..
and then a housewarming party. which we need to set a new date for, ummm soon!
i’m working on a josee allard remix and it is surprising me the direction that it is taking. being offline gave me the time to concentrate on things like production and also start going to the gym with braeden. it’s good. lifestyle change.
since i have moved downtown it seems that i’ve gotten a lot on the go. i have internet back … it took shaw quite a while and they have agreed to waive the set-up fee since they messed up the scheduling only 4 times. hooray!
i didn’t waste my time though. we’ve got quite a bit set up and i am really encouraged by the space we’re already in. i just need to spend a bit more time at home. actually i WANT to spend a little more time at home. kind of unusual for me! it’s cool.
hey i gotta buy a new vaccuum. anyone got any good tips on what to look out for when buying a vaccuum? no need to make any ‘suck’ jokes.

AFK – Lush

One of my most successful tracks, this four on the floor melodic progressive house is how most people know the name AFK. This spent a good amount of time on the definitive Balance Record Pool chart and was hammered by many an A-List DJ. Lush is named after the club night at Hush which I have enjoyed playing at for years during my residency there with Braeden. I have since moved on but this stands as my tribute to an immense night that had line ups going around the corner of the block.

Much fun. Cover art lettering was done by Jason @ Proton Radio. The photo is a “self landscape” that I took on the BC Ferries on the way from Vancouver to Nanaimo – I had missed the last ferry to Victoria unfortunately. I put the camera on a post, hit the delay, and then did a 15 second time exposure as the ferry pulled out of the dock, hence the clear foreground and smeared background. This was released on May 23, 2006 on the LA / Dallas based label Proton Music.

PROTONIZED

Monday, May 30th at 3 PM EST (Noon PST) Proton Radio presents PROTONIZED, a very special 100 minute mix from ariz0na.
For the last seven years, Davin Greenwell, better known as DJ ariz0na and producer AFK, has been pushing the progressive sound in the form of breaks, house and trance. Davin has been heavily involved in the Victoria electronic music scene through many years of community and commercial radio, club and events promotion, ravevictoria.com, and now most prominently with Pacific Front Recordings (PFR), a new music label he trailblazes in cahoots with Justin Humber, aka Sasha-spun Formulate. Recording as AFK has seen Davin release two gigantic progressive tracks on his home label, PFR, and has produced a haunting breakbeat remix of Obakeh’s “Ghosted” and a synapse-smashing remix of arguably Formulate’s most memorable track, “Rising Edge.” Davin has been remixed by the likes of Steve May, Blake Jarrell, Jeff Devas, Influenza, Micah, Formulate, and Chompers. His music has extended globally and can be heard in forward-thinking clubs all over the world. Toss in a Saturday night residency at Victoria’s outstandingly fun Lush at Hush with fellow prog mobster Braeden Parrott, mix in appearances at Lotus in Vancouver, and you have a talent echoing throughout the scene in the Pacific Northwest.
Davin has had a hand in the production of every track in PROTONIZED — from being remixed, to collaborations, to doing the remixes himself — including a very special never-heard-before ambient mix of Obakeh’s “Ghosted.”

the path to destruction!

the path to destruction
i think 2005 is the year of technical server [bleep] not working right. did the ancients think of that? “2005 will be the year all the crap we invented in the last 10 years becomes incredibly unreliable but we discover that we don’t really care that much anyway.” for online stores, it’s like the equivalent of their storefront randomly disappearing only to reappear later like nothing happened. “what?” yeah.
anyhow, i wrote a new DJ bio with jim tonight. watch! i am linking to myself! link link link!
i must go. anand is here!
