SpaceCore has been obsessing for the past month about this trip he's going to make to this island 3 hours away from our little city of Iloilo. For those who knows him personally, the word "excited" seems to be an understatement to describe how he talks and fantasizes about his coming trip. hehehe

So as the title suggests, "7 days left" till Isla Gigantes!

We will be posting pictures of the happy campers here when they get back to civilization.

Enjoy ladies and gents and be safe!

All this cold weather makes me long for orange sunsets, clear blue skies, the taste of an ice cold beer going down your throat as you sit under the shade, the hot sun shinning down on clear blue waters, and of course sun kissed ladies in their skimpy bikinis parading down the beach.

Another gloomy, lazy Sunday in my part of the world.

Cheers!

A few days after new year, I woke up early in the morning with a smile on my face. Now close friends of mine would tell you that it is a rare occurrence for me to wake up that way for im not a morning person. So what made this usually grumpy person in the morning wake up with a positive disposition? I had a dream about Audrey Hepburn!

As i recall, the dream was a short one. We were just having tea ( or was it coffee? ) at some al fresco cafe. The setting was somewhat the same with her movie Breakfast at Tiffany's which meant i was sporting some slick retro outfit. Woot! Woot! Miss Hepburn ofcourse was in her signature black outfit, sporting those oversize glasses. Damn! Even in dreams, shes still hot!

Anyway, if i were to make a soundtrack to that little slumberland meeting of ours, it would be this. Classic lounge tracks fitting for a timeless beauty.

Track listing:

Dimitri from Paris - Une Very Stylish Fille
Ursula Rocker - Circe ( Jazzanova mix )
Smoke city - Aguas de Marco
Andy Caldwell - Sin Musica
Handsome Boy Modeling School - Sunshine ( Groove Armada mix )

Aftersyx with light$leep3r

2008-12-26T14:05:00.028+08:00

One of the persons who influenced me heavily with regards to electronic music. Ian Laczi has been part of the local underground electronic/band scene in the Philippines since the 80's. Now based in LA, here's what he has to say.

Aftersyx: What name do you answer to?

vinyl_junkee2003: light$leep3r

vinyl_junkee2003: haha

Aftersyx: Whats the story behind the name?

vinyl_junkee2003: I used to be a light sleeper. But not anymore.

vinyl_junkee2003: I used the name lightsleeper on Hotbox RP's first release.

Aftersyx: So speaking of Hotbox RP, how did it come to be?

vinyl_junkee2003: Its was the brainchild of me, nervegasm, evilwurm, and psychonaut. A way for us to push electronic music in our city back in the 90's.

vinyl_junkee2003: I could go more into details, but i rather not. All i can say is that aside from music, it had something to do with nervegasm's beetle and the parking lot of a mall.

Aftersyx: whahahahaha

Aftersyx: So how did you get into music production?

vinyl_junkee2003: since i became involved with music

Aftersyx: So how old were you when you started making music?

vinyl_junkee2003: i was 14

vinyl_junkee2003: my first band was colloidal mixtures

vinyl_junkee2003: we were literally a "garage band"

vinyl_junkee2003: playing punk covers

Aftersyx: What is music for you Lightsleeper?

vinyl_junkee2003: music is therapy

vinyl_junkee2003: music is life

vinyl_junkee2003: hahaha

Aftersyx: Can you give a few of your musical influences?

vinyl_junkee2003: im really influenced by bands like the velvet underground, the stooges, new order, human league, the police, kraftwerk, miles davis, prince, ramones, the who.

Aftersyx: When you say, "chillout music", what comes into mind?

Aftersyx: Or better yet, what is "chillout music" for you?

vinyl_junkee2003: chillout music for me...

vinyl_junkee2003: is...

vinyl_junkee2003: music for chilling hahah

Aftersyx: hahahaha

vinyl_junkee2003: It doesn't have to have a really low BPM.

vinyl_junkee2003: music that makes you think

vinyl_junkee2003: brain dance

vinyl_junkee2003: music

Aftersyx: True, "chillout music" is a mood and not a genre or a BPM setting.

Aftersyx: So how do you "chill" after a hard day's work?

vinyl_junkee2003: i chill most of the time

vinyl_junkee2003: that's why i cant think straight

vinyl_junkee2003: "chill"

vinyl_junkee2003: i listen to records most of the time...dig records @ amoeba and dig for digital stuff on the net

vinyl_junkee2003: smoke a bowl

vinyl_junkee2003: i smoke a bowl even at work

vinyl_junkee2003: haha

Aftersyx: hahaha

Aftersyx: Would you say that you are a "chain smoker?" hahahaha

vinyl_junkee2003: not really

vinyl_junkee2003: haha

Aftersyx: So what does lightsleeper do after 6?

vinyl_junkee2003: i take a shower and go to work

vinyl_junkee2003: i work in the night time

vinyl_junkee2003: but it only last for 2 hours

vinyl_junkee2003: but when i come back from work...i chill

Aftersyx: Going back to music, what can you say about "genres"?

vinyl_junkee2003: it divides everything!

vinyl_junkee2003: there should b no genres, especially today.

vinyl_junkee2003: i dont want my music to be identified in a certain genre coz i have an eclectic taste in music.

vinyl_junkee2003: i listen to almost anything...yeah there's some good music and bad music

Aftersyx: How do you classify good or bad music?

vinyl_junkee2003: well... there's the obvious ones ya know...

vinyl_junkee2003: crappy

Aftersyx: But what is crappy for some is beautiful for others. Where does one draw the line?

vinyl_junkee2003: Good music for me i think is music that pleases my ears regardless of genre. To each his own i guess.

Aftersyx: Amen!

Aftersyx: So whats your most treasured musical possession?

vinyl_junkee2003: my 1st bass guitar that my mom bought for me in 1988.

vinyl_junkee2003: a fake gibson sg for 1,000 pesos
