The AAIEMCC

Last night absolutely rocked. It was a real honor to be floating about uncomfortably next to so many people with so much talent.

How’d I do? People danced to my music. Let’s get that out straight off. That was hardcore. People also remembered my name and complemented me after the gig. That to would be determined to be, were core samples taken, hard. To round off the hardcore trifecta, many of the people complementing my music were the actual winners. To me, that shows a level of respect and maturity lost on most artists.

The thing is, their music – the winners’ – was at a level of professionalism and talent totally unknown to my experiences. Were Mike on the mic to announce a song to have been from Squarepusher or AFX I would NOT have been surprised in the least. My work, in 48hrs, could not, at my present experience and talent level, be matched even for a second; imagine how it felt to have these people telling me they dig my track.

Big ups to the winners, massive respect to those hovering with me around the winners circle and a special shout to Selector Catalog: Big up your chest, rudeboy. If there is anyone that I envy out there it is you.

And a special thanks for the friends that came with me last night. It meant a lot and I am seriously stoked that you took, like, 8 hours out of your weekend to spend listening to music most of you would never listen to on your own. You rock the party that rocks the body.

I don’t know when the Ypsilanti one is this year, but I am going to enter. I am going to keep entering until I am able to make sounds like those in the winners’ circle.

Oh, one more up to big: Massive respect to the firteen crew and the blind pig massive. You make it all possible. Hell yes.
