It is the day you look back and the day you look ahead
You ask yourself where was I last year and where will I be next year
What did I achieve this year? Am I satisfied?
As far as I am concerned, I am never satisfied
I always ask for more.
And it's always this feeling that time is not enough
I hate it
Maybe that's the obstacle
And maybe this year's resolution has to be: re-conciliate with time
and the first step: not to waste it

Richie Hawtin pres.Plastikman Live1.5
...is what happens when music goes beyond the sound that comes to your ears, when the vibe affects your entirety and reaches mind and soul!
Plastikman is an act that goes beyond a job or a tour as we know it.. is a way of living, a way of giving. It's evolution, it's chasing the unknown.. It is the past and the future brought to you in the present.
Revivalism versus Futurism! This tour is actually taking things one step further, a glossy revival of the past glories thanks to today's technology, a journey through unexplored frontiers.
Innovation is his thing and technology is his tool, enabling him realize today what he imagined a decade ago.
His all-time aim: do something different that was not out there.
Setting up such a show, an all-encompassing experience needs expertise, determination, talent, much of technology and of course people. PEOPLE! People who love what they do, this is a team!
I loved Magda's warm up set and I surrender to Gaiser's music.
The truth is, I've watched too many videos from the tour but it was not until I've been part of it that I realized what Plastikman Live is all about, not until I lived it through senses five...
There are certain phenomena, visible only at night, that come to pass so infrequently you feel blessed if you do get the chance to witness them: comets, meteor shows, lunar eclipses...

DREAMS
Dreams... and dreams! Two different concepts, one single word. And I'm struggling to reconcile the two. Dreams we see at night operate at a subliminal level, leaving us no possibility to control them. Dreams we make while awake and fully conscious is what we choose, what we are devoted to and what we consciously chase.
But legend Dylan, admitting being against nature and considering it very unnatural, spotted something: "drams are the only truly natural thing which nature cannot touch with decay". And this is a feature common to both concepts, maybe the strongest for each of them and probably what binds them. Obviously, it's hard to get into Bob Dylan's mind when saying nature is very unnatural but I understand and I believe that nature cannot touch either my night or day dreams. Nature and I operate separately and since both kind of dreams are completely mine, nature has no role in this game. My daydreams..that's what I am here to pursue, will never be touched by anyone or anything, not even nature.
Just spend some minutes to think about it...

TODAY i'm just wondering...

| "natural hair to which nothing was added, not even brushing" |
...what such hair feels like, what a person dreams about at night, with hair like that spreadng across the pillow..."
Taken from the book "Dreads" by Alice Walker.
It's not just what you see.. there's a whole world underneath! It's a way of living. It's freedom, is power is spirit, is nature, is Bob Marley and whatever he signals to each of us. It's love... Love for the path you have chosen and freedom to enjoy it..whatever it is and whatever it takes.

TODAY i'm thoughtful
*MAKE LOVE NOT WAR*
That’s the moto that always guides me, but obviously it guides not the people who rule us. It is sad to notice that the world I live in is more interested in war rather than love. Why so much hate, so much trouble? Why so much love for the money instead of the people?
The sun, the beach, the air are all free. Why should I care for the rest? I can enjoy them either poor or rich. Indeed, I can enjoy them better without money, without troubles. I don’t have money or power so I turn to them and I am lucky I can do so. I can see, I can read, I can write and listen. I am healthy and alive. I have people around me, people I love, people I can count to. Why should the rest matter? There is music and sports that make me feel complete. I see happiness in anything small. The world I live in is beautiful and I don’t need power to see this.
I close my eyes and dream. I dream of a better world. I dream of less people starving, no people killed at war. I dream of a world where each gets what he deserves, what one deserves according to values unconnected to position and power. I don’t want injustice anymore. I want the people. I want us all free! Free to enjoy the sun which is the same for all. It is one but enough for all. I want people to feel the love. Redefine love! Learn what love is, people! Close your eyes and feel it. Give love. You will never loose. Take it as a game: the more you give, the more you get! J

TODAY 's pick:
Tom Morello covering Woody Guthrie's 'This Land is Your Land'
You may know him as The Nightwatchman ... Or as a member of Rage Against the Machine... Or as a member of Audioslave.
He is singing for the people, for freedom, for revolution. His guitar usually says 'Whatever it takes'. His guitar solos are incredible (check them out).
A contemporary rebel who paved his own way.

Conceptions...
What is techno?
Χορεύεις, νιώθεις, εκφράζεσαι, ξεφεύγεις... Ξεφεύγεις απ' τον κόσμο αυτό που δεν σε χοράει πια και την βρίσκεις εκεί.. εκεί που νιώθεις ότι ανήκεις, εκεί που μπορείς να βρεις αυτό που ψάχνεις, εκεί που μπορείς κι εσύ να δώσεις! Είναι μουσική, είναι τρόπος ζωής, είναι ένας άλλος κόσμος, μια εναλλακτική.

Ibiza Becomes Diesel Island
Beautiful days, crazy nighs, groovy tunes, chilled atmosphere, people feeling free under a bright sun, a sensual moon and the stars...
It all started...
with the Birth of a Nation
With a full moon for light and the beach for
dance floor... the citizens of the new nation
celebrated their stupidness and their braveness
dance floor... the citizens of the new nation
celebrated their stupidness and their braveness
the day came that Steve Lawler, Bonobo and Dj EAC spinning records by the sunset drove the crawd crazy and contributed to another amazing evening at the diesel island.
Steve Lawler obviously excited by the whole idea and inspired by the beautiful setting shares his secret. "The only way to make music: don't try to make a record for the dancefloor, for success or profile. Just write the music that flows through you and that way it's gonna be true and no doubt it's gonna sound amazing".
You can listen to the set here.
Diesel island is all about the beach, the sun, the moon, the people, the freedom...
It is the land of the stupid
and the home of the brave
and the home of the brave
A place where simplicity
and freedom is all that matters..
...where utopia becomes reality! Friday 12 August 2011

TODAY the sun is brighter
It is the day to track some treasure down, to drift deeper into the sound. It is the time to remember that dreams and believing is all we have, what gives us power.
Today is the day to shout out once again 'DREAMS COME TRUE' and 'Never Stop Believing'.
Chief duo Gabriel and Dresden are reunited (after 4 years being apart) for a global tour giving younger fans like me the opportunity to hear and live some of their glorious moments.

It's all gone Pete Tong
Based on a true story...
Soundtrack: DJ's in a row - Schwab
The story of a legend.. Frakie Wilde has been one of the most influential and beloved DJs of Ibiza club scene. His world: full of glory, drugs and parties but empty of friends and love.
A hearing disorder that led to complete deafness was the breaking point that changed his world completely. He loved hearing and he loved DJing. Now, all gone!
But there was something left: his heart, his passion about music, the spirt of a legend. He dealt with his deafness in his own unique way and with the help of Penelope he began seeing things in a fresh attitude. He couldn't hear but he could see and feel the music.
In the end,life is not about crowded parties and plastic people. It's all about love. Love for life, love for yourself, love for the music, love for things and people that do worth it.
A film full of emotions and beautiful sounds... A must-see for every electonic music lover.
All I have to say, it is never all gone. There is always something left: the heart, the passion, the love.

Music goes on forever
‘It takes a joyful sound to make the world go round’
PUNKY REGGAE PARTY
He says ‘hiding from reality in your world of hypocrisy’. True! We opt for the world of hypocrisy. It is a matter of choice! And obviously we choose to sustain the state of affairs that others have chosen for as. It is probably because those who have the power to choose (not all people have such a power but, since we have a home and a laptop, we come within the class ) are benefited from this state of affairs. Inequality and exploitation are sustained. Hatred and surrounds as. Wars are also regarded as part of the reality. But reality is something else! It is things as they naturally stand: people living, eating, pissing, having sex, enjoying music under the same sun. Love and care for each other. I will choose reality this time!
My title comes from Bob Marley’s words too. When I hear this song I think about DubFX ‘s music and I am happy to notice that music goes on forever, indeed. It is being developed. It walks along with the times. There are still musicians that make music worth hearing, music that makes you feel. there are still musicians that sing about things that matter. The thing is..you need to search and make some effort to find them. But they do worth it.

Greece at the top of the world once again
29/07/2011, save the day! Greek female waterpolo national team reaches the top at the World Championship in Shangai.
13 gold women gave the answer to all those who see Greece a poor country and to all those who brought Greece in that situation. I feel proud the be Greek and lucky to be an athlete too. They had the power to meet the challenge of a world championship successfully making everyone talking about them and their country. They put a smile upon the face of Greece, a smile that was so much missing. They showed everyone that Greeks have a power that cannot be estimated. They taught us that success is born and it grows in the heart. It is not about money, it is about hard work, passion and love, love for what you do and who is next to you.
These modern superheroes, some of them young girls, reminded us what life is about. It is about sharing, trying until achieving, living the moment and enjoying what you have gained with hard work. They reached and made us reach the absolute, for me, feeling: crying out of happiness
Their secret: being a TEAM (such a strong word that stands aloneI need not go further).
Congratulations and big thank you for reminding me things I had forgotten..
