Keith was at the Healy Hillclimb again this year so Eboun and I headed out to say hello and see how things were going. The weather was not really co-operative for the event I’m sad to say so I didn’t venture too far with the camera. I did get a few shots in the pit, while the drivers were in the pre-race meeting.

Elko on a Thursday Night – Testing Time

I met up with TMF Keith and Lone Wolf Andrew down at Elko to see how they do on a testing day. Keith is still shaking down his Cressida and Andrew is tuning his rebuilt car on his fancy new Haltech set up. For Keith, there wasn’t much action, but Andrew seemed to have a ball. Check out some of the shots I got.

Caught this photo with my phone at a recent Raceway Park practice day. Can’t even tell what series tire he’s running anymore…

A celebration of birth – Yours Truly

whoisfelix — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 16:11:50 +0000

So, last Friday was my birthday and I turned… OLD. Don’t worry about it.

After a long day at work, I went out to dinner with some really close friends and of course my family. MOSCOW ON THE HILL.

After dinner, I said goodbye to my family and went out to see more of my friends at Barrio in Downtown St. Paul. It’s just a hop skip and a jump away from dinner so I got there in NO time. People think DT St. Paul is dead… they’re wrong. You just have to come down and check things out. There are pockets of life that are growing.

This place was BUSY before we got there.

Yes, I was drinking…

FUCK YOU I’M AN ANTEATER!!!!

It was a good night. Thanks to everyone who came out! I’m swore off drinking for a while. But apparently I just meant I wouldn’t have a drink the next MORNING. The next night, ELKO.

Nothing I pick here is going to make me happy, too many I could have included but this will have to do. Seems fitting to pick this track (and video) to follow Entra Mi Casa and the release date is in the same neighborhood as my departure from the scene.

This is another banger of a track, nothing you’d start a set off with. It has some great Tech-House elements with a classic French feel too. (For the puritans, this is out of Belgium.) Was surprised to see a produced video for this. Interesting.

For those that followed along, hope you enjoyed some of these. It was fun for me to relive a few musical memories. Drop a comment if you feel I missed something crucial.

You decide. Almost Ghetto House, definitely Latin, definitely Tribal…definitely good. I’m not a huge Armand Van Helden fan but you have to admit he has some hits. This track in particular was huge for the “shocking” vocals and the late, unexpected tweaked horns. Those horns, that beat, the underlying percussion. Ugh, I’m banging my head listening to it while I type this right now. I really hope you’re listening with some good speakers to pick up the full effect. You totally forgot about those vocals, didn’t you? And that’s why the track is so good. The porno sample idea has been used way too often and is rarely pulled off. I love exceptions that prove the rule.

Yeah. See my description for Tues. I’m a Trance DJ at heart, I can’t escape bass lines or booming synths. This has a great emotional yet disco feel to it with a breakdown that will move even the most hardened music critic.

This is another track that is victim to the remix plague. There are dozens out there that destroy most of what is good about the original cut. Stick with the original I say. Classic never goes out of style.

Oooh, it’s even an elusive white label! Ha.

Wow. This takes me back. We used to have a dance night at a club called Ground Zero where I later went on to be a resident at. Our friend Chris (different Chris!!) used to drop this all the time and the crowd would eat it up. This is one of the first tracks I distinctly remember hearing a lot of effects being used. No coincidence, it was one of the earlier popular tracks out of France on the Versatile label. Well, early to me.

For some reason I had a hard time thinking that there could be good House out of a place like France. The Roule label eventually changed my mind. Makes sense I suppose.

I couldn’t believe this was actually on YouTube.

Now we’re talking. This is the kind of stuff that literally gives me goose bumps when that chorus hits. Strong latin vocal house without being pushy or overbearing. Super simple and super catchy piano . Great bass line, something always underused and underappreciated in House. I can’t ever get enough of it. It was my ringtone for two years – and I am NOT a ringtone kind of guy.

Yep, Ghetto House. I wanted to use an old DJ Funk track and tell a story about how I’ve seen him play horrible a dozen times and then destroyed the floor at The Quest one night (that’s the good kind of destroy), but then I remembered this track and it trumps it. Sorry Funk.

This track is on the level of Stardust. It’s not nearly as good musically, but every high school girl knows this track. You can’t deny it moved the floor in it’s prime and brought a smile to your face.

This particular video was a strong factor as well.
