OK, so Was just having a lil time to myself after rolling through 4 episodes of Battle Star Galactica tonite, season 4 !! man, i was in tears for lots of parts in it !!! heheh before i get side tracked, i just want to drop a note about what actually motivated me tonite to write about it.

So about actually 1 week ago, there was a very favourite Prog House, Trance dj that came to Toronto, and omg was so there, got dropped off by my sister, and omg was rocking out all fuckn night! it was just magical too btw, like i havent been moved like that for a while and to feel such a  beautifull orchestration of music and energy was just an experience of a life-time. BUT the single thing that made me smile looking back tonite was !!! ok when i was walking back to the coat check to get my jacket, someone put their arm on my shoulder and i turned around and the guy said to me ‘Man you are such a good dancer’ . I was really so happy to hear that! it honestly made my day, and I thanked him and then peaced out.

So I tried calling my buddie Gem, who lived only a few blocks away, was gonna crash pad over there, but he didnt pick up for some reason, and LUCKY ME! that i found some people going to Missisauga and some how managed to swing a free ride back home, so like i still had to wake up Aunty Helen, but she’s always kool ;0

Oh btw, it was Hernan Cattaneo.

hehehe, thats exactly what I thought when we were bussin back from the coach station, to my friends flat. So anyways funny story about me gettin there, so just FYI I been travelling for like 3 months already, and I never missed a bus/coach/train/plane as of yet.. hehe, and I had one more booked for Bristol, 12:45 .. and thing is I started playing squash at 10:00 that morning, heavy trainin session with this dood i been hitting with down here., but anyways it was like 11:45 .. ‘just 1 more rally, just one more rally’ .. next this I knew it was 12:20, still had to pack, and print off my tickets.. when i got home.. so u guessed it missed that bloody coach =/. and cuz it was this supersave i had to spend another 8 quid on a ride. so whatever, we got it sorted anyways. ;0

Now .. back to dracula town!! so we talked n shit and it was wikkid to finally meet kr4y! one of the sickest dnb producers in bristol, and omg hes my friend!!! so frieday night we just chilled, shortly after 04:20, matt his flatt mate tossed on some of the olskool beats, mfg .. i remember i just crept into the room cuz the baddest ass toon was on, and saw them playin wii tennis and we played all night, but omg!! wii tennis!!! it is really amazing!!! like so amazing, especially cuz I play tennis and the movements were like sooooooooo like same.

So it was a great time to get to know these guys, there was a couple of ppl over also, and this is like ol skool bristol boys, bristol is like home of dark, full cycle, krust, die and krew, just so u kno. so we chilled more, and eventually looked up a party to check out for sat. Lucky we found one,!!! 2bad mice was headlinin to catch the eye, and from the looks of the gig it seemed like was gonna be a sicko lskool night, there was a nu skool gig up on the room2, but nah, didnt recognize any of those labels except for ram rekkords. heh
so interesting enuf, ram rekkords doods were up on early, and we rolling out some shit .. and i mean like not my kind of shit, so bad! heh, and we kept chekin out the rooms, and the main room was like even gayer. .. like sounded like breaks, house, which was so gay.. soooo gay. anyways, we drank a few and like around 2wo , they switched up, interface and redskin .. wtf .. this shit sounds like dnb, man it just was gg from here. omar is on dnb!!

Ambush, Element, Fission .. just laced it down, there were some wikkid mcs up on it also.. this is like a tight lil club 50 ppl up in r2, so it was nice and intimate!! what a vibe, and i kinda crept up front with the mcs pushin up that vibe, and man, it just kept gettin better, place was off of the hook, fuk forgot his name, think it was Part of Ambush tho, he started to feel what tracks set me off, and started droppin track after track, it was totally insane!! karryn!! yah thats right i was already off my horse and it was pure me!!

so got to meet all the krew, when they were switchin up and at the bar, everyone was so wikkid, couple of them have been played out in Toronto and got some more contacts so it was all wikkid. wish i could show off some of the club and the looks, but sorry guys .. just have to use some imagination

So I think we ended up back at kr4ys at like 06:40 or somethin like that,  and we talked some shit kray passed out and I called everyone I knew from here, and minnie too but everyone was already passed out so no one to talk shit more too =/ even ppl i called 2wice didnt pick up lol .. then passed out till 11:00 .. i had a coach to catch and wasnt really up for missing it again!! heh, so we ate and all that shit, and I was off.

Besides the mad partying, it was amazing to link up with kr4y finally! he was a good hearted kid that hooked me up with some goods when I was half way across the world 5 years ago, and we been in touch since that, and I was so happy to get the invitation out to Bristol, just to be immersed in not only the club stuff, but the hardcore drum and bass culture, a house full up of producers, sound system engineers, and old skoolers, even just when we sat around after 04:20 and talked about parties .. talked about gigs djs, and all those lines and times and rhymes.. drumandbass culture reprezhentin all round the gLoBe !! It just wikkid how evreything I love for, becomes my footsteps, everywhere I have been there has been so much love!!

State of Mind. What a fukkin night, nick i tried my best to capture some of the night, it was .. off the hook. Model T one of the hottest dnb djs in Australia was on earlier in the night, but he set the whole place up for the night, banging selection early on and more than enough to move me, i rode that shit all the way to the darkness that was soon to come.

I lost my voice a little earlier than expected, like midway through Model T’s set, but it wasnt so bad actually cuz it was a smaller club and I didnt have to yell so much anyways Crowd was soooo wikkid and the smaller club made it a lil more intimate on the floor, reminds me of those back in the day parties ^^ And actually there was 1 lil thing that made me feel abit wierded out, at one point this girl was dancin beside me and she bumped me really hard on the hip, and I was gonna say sorry, but first thing that comes out of her mouth was fuck you, so after a thought I was like bitch, fuck you too. And then she kinda just went away and that was the end of it thankfully.

But everyone eles was soo wikkid, and the sets got nice and dark.. sooo dark, and next thing we knew omar is on dnb .. uh oh!!! Breaking out all my original jungalistcal bad boy flow, and always inventing the new steps to go with the new sounds.

Raving across the world .. just incredible how regardless of where you are the energy is the same, and the people that attract to it and are there are so close to home. I love how theres a general kinda style to ppl how they dance and how they set into the drumandbass culture, over here its pretty safe, there was a big support from New Zealand krew over here with the state of mind label, and they were all pure vibes.

So after the party was done, about 05:00ish we chilled out on the streets for a bit, I ran around for a bit lookin for some food, really nice pizza place I eventually found which was top. But then, we did my 2nd most fave thing todo on a night out, AFTER PARTY!!!!! One of Johns good friends Craig was at the club too we hung out inside, and he invited us all over to his place, which was amazing!! I loved this part so much, cuz me and lady sat on the sofa witha blankey and John was playin some amazing Chicane music on the computer, which was PURFECt!! if you never heard chicane before, it’s a chill trance label, and i’ll send a link if u want. and Craig was just on a single sofa beside us, he popped on some strange dvd that seemed to flow with the music that was comin on. These kinda times remind me of when Jay used to take me round Toronto, we’d always after party till about 9:30–10:00 !!

Being with these people .. My heart just echos ripples of love throughout the footsteps in my path, when i feel the love from them for me being there that moment makes me cry, even when i think back on the faces that are in my life. Craig was a really amazing person, he gave me a gift!! and also hes a head chef somewhere and invited me to the restaurant for a free meal!! so im deffo gonna take that up

I think we just decided to get a lil closer to home now, and we moved the after party to Johns now, so we went over to Johns, and i had some of his lovely Marberries and Bannanas we chatted and chilled abit, and I was like in need of sleep with a 17:00 flight comin up to Cairns I kinda needed to get some ZzZzzzzzz. John and karryn went over to Sarahs place to chill with her a bit, shed been out partying but just ended up at a different club, not sure where but sure she had a good time.

I remember waking up shortly to Johns wakeup call, and then Lady and mom and dad came to pick me up.
