"Daedelus Daedelus your live mix tickles my brains and warms my music cockles. Please be at RBMA when I'm there"
I'm sitting in the lounge listening to Brainfeeder's podcast for Mary Anne Hobbes and Flying Lotus, winding down after a long busy week. Busy but I felt like I had seriously grown two inches taller purely due to good spirits. I applied for the first time to the Red Bull Music Academy a couple of months ago. The chance of getting in (to me) was like buying lottery, after all, DJs and producers all over the world were applying for that same 60 seats in London, the home of evil bass. 5 days ago, I read the email of invitation - you are officially selected for RBMA London 2010. I couldn't believe it and re-read the emails like 10 times and texted the local Red Bull Mr X to make sure. I'm in. I think I pretty much spent the rest of the week skipping instead of walking.
There's suddenly a lot to do. I need to sieve through music online and offline, pull together the meanest set ever, start the Ableton tutorials, make edits, befriend the APC40, revamp the myspace page, etc. etc.
Investigating tumblr as well, pretty neat designs and functions they have.
Oh and only just found out that Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer (The Dresden Dolls) are dating! I'm probably slower than the rest of the internet at the news but how awesome! And they are both coming to Singapore with Neil @ The Writers' Festival and Amanda @ Stereolounge.
Life is awesome.
