Solaris ~ Techno DJ and Producer Solaris is back again pushing the sounds to those in the world that need it most. These are some of his favorite tracks that have pushed their way into his mind this month. Always looking for a way to expand your horizons, in the techno world, check out these tracks and reviews.

Blipped Out – Unknown - BLIP004
I feel like after waking up I just had my cup of java. To bad the coffee was laced with angel dust, cause nuttin' got me up and goin' like this track. Hard and minimal just like your local pusher/pimp likes it. Just don’t try to sell it to him you’ll be invading his turf.

Schranz – Unknown - SCHRANZ028
The time of hard techno is here! This single side sisters of mercy remix is by far a go getter! What can I say the second pick and I already have a need for some blood pressure medication. Even a good pacemaker to make sure that my roommate can weather out this one!

Carnage - Darc Marc vs. Andreas Kremer - CARNAGE11
You know all the little creatures have left the forest due to the earthquakes being constructed when people dance to this. Just please break cadence so we don’t put a hole in the earth.

Purples - Andre Walter - PURPLES008
A bit less intense than your ordinary lobotomy, but who needs one of them everyday? I just hope the hospital has room for all the new patience they will be getting from this one!

E.L.P. – Joykit - ELP11007
A nice track here! I mean nice and chill with a progressive build. I tell you some people have been putting in overtime in the studio lately! I hope they are getting their proper union breaks.

Conform Records - GAETANO PARISIO - CONFORM23
What now? How many things can I say about this that you shouldn’t already know? Its like someone took me back to Miami and I was at Tronic Treatment all over again. Make sure you stock up on Tums, because techno has been known to make your ulcers flare up.

Beast Music - Lars Klein - BEAST001
What is the sign of the beast? Well I may not know that but this man may very well be the Anti-Christ. Take this track and get it blessed before you play it. Otherwise you might have to have a mass exorcism after your set! Beware this wax can kill!

Incharge – Marco V - IC002
Hooked on music and drum lines? Then this is your one fix that needs tamed. Please whatever you do stay away from the fire! Remember wax melts! After hearing this you will want to cool your heels, well not me, this stuff gets my blood flowing and lets me know that there really is a god out there looking after me.

Domestic Minimal Noise - Marco Carola - DMN04
I listened to this track and wanted it on here, then I looked at the producer and well, why am I not surprised? This thing is as sweet falling into the plush red carpet and having your local dealer get you a taxi to the hospital. Give him a tip because we like the comedown in a controlled environment.

Arms – Various - ARMS06
The Lies are Like Wishes EP. Now if I had a wish it is to have a top twenty this month, but for now I will make due with giving you, my faithful, a nice choice for last. I feel like I should be hanging upside down on a girder 50 floors up on a construction site to do this one justice. And who needs safety equipment? We like it raw, slightly abusive, and possibly dangerous. Take your time, not all of us are hard as nails.

q104 country christmas

Jackson Dean is one of our more favorite rising stars just now and this was a rare opportunity to catch him outside of the glitz and glam of an arena show.  Indeed, we had been trying to catch up with him, in just this type of format, for more than a year.  Each attempt was thwarted for one reason or another and we had kind of given up hope.  Then comes Q104 (KBEQ-FM) with their annual Christmas show featuring none other than this elusive musician. Hosted by PBR Big Sky at the Power & Light District, with proceeds going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, this proved the perfect opportunity to catch his act, up close and personal, and unplugged.  This is the true test of the talent of any musician, to get up on stage with nothing more than their voice, instrument and stage lighting. Jackson Dean did not disappoint either. A country musician who is not entirely country, he is rhythm and blues, and a little...

weston wassailing

  A random encounter with wassailers in Weston found them shuffling along peddling their vocal wares on the opening day of festivities at Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard .  They had chosen the perfect day, with a bright shining sun and temperatures lurking about 0ºC, though seemed a bit confused about their role. This gang of carolers were attempting to apply house wassailing to the setting.  As this was an orchard, wassailing etiquette dictates they wander about reciting their incantations and singing to the trees of the fields in an effort to promote a good harvest for the coming year.   Shoppers appeared undeterred, mostly ignoring the misguided cretins.  They were entirely too obsessed with the small row of merchant tents where freezing sellers made every effort to hoard what little warmth they could.  In the big house, aka barn, others huddled around the cider tanks, with offered a variety of food, libations, and a more infused sort o...

a kc rep carol

An evening with the  Kansas City Repertory  interpretation of the Charles Dickens tale, "A Christmas Carol," turned out an excellent performance in this 43rd rendition the classic.  A diverse representation of performers stood for nary a slip in their execution.  The narrator stumbled a couple of times but recovered so quick, it was hard to accept that it had really occurred. When you have that many lines, it is hard not to miss one here and there though. Early in the opening acts of the show, a phone voiced its annoying melody.  However, nobody on stage missed a beat, or even blinked, as the device quickly silenced.  Technology is hard for some, I suppose.   It was not for the production though! A revolving set appeared well manicured and suitable for every angle of the production, and actors flowed seamlessly across and between scenes.   Extending into the audience as well, extras sometime enhanced the lighting and sound, prior to thei...

celebration of the dead in 2024

A forecast of little more than continuing rain did not deter our trek over to Central Avenue in Kansas City, KS for the annual Dia de Muertos celebration.  The memories of last year commanded a follow-up on this cultural festivity in the hometown. The afternoon had been relatively rain-free with the sun peeking through from time to time. Arriving around 4:30 pm, we almost immediately wished that we had come sooner.  Within an hour of arrival, heavy rain sent folks scurrying for cover. We were fortunate enough to have stopped about that time to enjoy a little delicious local flavor, under a canopy, and from the very same folks as in the year before.   In spite of uncooperative weather, a general air of warmth and amiability filled the streets of Central Avenue, overcome only by opportunities to enjoy music, dancing in the streets, and some of the most delicious food and treats to be found anywhere. The lineup proved every bit as enjoyable as the y...

contrasting garden glow

This date after Thanksgiving our crew remained a bit more local, visiting the  Festival of Lights at Powell Gardens .  The experience is quite a contrast with the effort last year in St Louis.   Many of the displays stand out nicely, as do a few very intentional arrangements in random locations.  They are well-placed for interaction and photographs. However, sidewalks lined with lighting stretch in random directions without any sort of guidance, seemingly without intent or construct.   The paths occasionally intersect, sometimes through tunnels of light, which is the highest level of interactivity.  Treats are available for purchase at multiple locations, but only one contains enough warmth to encourage folks to linger any length of time. Other fires pale in comparison, making the only other temperature refuge beyond the main building, Santa's workshop.  He was very busy there, enjoying the company and a photo shoot among the y...

Entering Week 5 of the contest, competition was getting tight as more and more desired to make name for themselves and their bodies.  This was the last round before the finals, when the winners of this and the last four would be brought back in front of Shotgun Jackson for a final decision.  Of course, after there was the usual drunken debauchery and dancing to beats provided by Bill Pile and Steve Thorell.   view more photos from this event
