aldrin the great on decks

Welcome to the new world of Mid-Evil beginning here on phocas.net with the arrival of Aldrin The Great's New original Progressive Drum & Bass ALbum entitled Imagination. In this his 3rd Album He pulls upon his life long experiance as a musician and his years of DJ skills to combine them with his love for electronic music and drum & bass creating a new sound all his own. When asked why he changed his stage name he replied "I found out there was annother DJ out there with the name DJ Aldrin.

I thought I had come up with an original name when I took it on back in 2000 but I guess not. So now since I perform Live PA I wanted to have a new name for that anyway. So, I asked a few friends what I should change my name to and ended up going with Aldrin the Great. I still get the name recognition I worked so hard to achieve and dont have to worry about using some other DJs name." To co-enicde with the launch of his new album here his website, MidEvilRecords.com has also recieved a makeover. You can go there to hear more of Aldrin's tracks, see pictures and videos, or book his Live PA or DJ act for your next event.



Imagination


(all songs written and produced by Aldrin)


This title's definition is intended to inspire deep listening. Plug in your headphones and go for a ride inside your own imagination. This is the Fuel for that journey. Now you can go to the party of your minds eye and Let Aldrin provide the smooth sounds of his D&B.


Intro - the lights are all off inside the arena as aldrin takes the stage. You suddenly see the lights slowly fade up revealing a stage of your imagination.

Track 1 - Deep In the night - we start out the journey with a classic sounding track featuring an acoustic bass and smooth vocal stylings. Bringing the bass out is the best way to start a party

Track 2 - I Don't Mind - Annother Groove gets underway this one has a slower section where I bring the beat down to half time for a bit. It's like a resting place before the real mind bending Destinations ahead.

Track 3 - It Can Be Done - A simple reminder that whatever you face in life all you have to tell yourself is Yes it can be done. then you can do it. the seering deep Bassline on this track drives you flying at the spped of light across the world below.

Track 4 - The Power - Im sure you all remember that tune from the 80's I've got the power. Well with this track you can have the power to be motivated in any direction. It's gettin kinda hectic.

Track 5 - Goodnight - A deep trancy D&B production Simply putting it all in perspective. Good night indeed. you find yourself becoming lost in the music and the words all melt away. Now WAKE UP!

Track 6 - Sexual Healin - Ahh You know whats up. After Goodnight When we get that feelin we need... well you know the rest. Smooth sounds propell this track through the night. Just hit Repeat.

Track 7 - Sent To Me - I wanted to do a track featuring bjork's vocalsso I snipped a couple riffs from the song hidden place. Here is my new track . I have allways liked Bjorks voice and her productions. Hope you do too.

Track 8 - Aldrin's Crazy Frog - If you are an internet buff you know who the crazy frog is and so this is Aldrins own crazy frog D&B track. the most annoying frog is now available in Drum and Bass. enjoy :)

Track 9 - Whos Bad - By this time you know whos Bad. Aldrins got the beats to keep you goin all night long but we have reached the end of annother journey.

Track10 - Want my love - The final track is bringing down the intensity of the music and preparing us for the ending. The journey is over now but we will allways have the imagination of our minds eye.

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...

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...

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...

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...
