Well Kids,

It's been just another super bowl lackluster game show weekends here.....well ok...with maybe more than just a little over the edge sexual innuendo led forplay to amuse some OF the thrill seeking distracted circuit boys thrown in for laughs....since we Didn't get them during the Stones set....what Were they thinking....I KNOW what WE were thinking....hehe.

I know it's been a while since the sets were flowing in.,...I have several excuses dating back to hurricane Wilma....the Christmas holiday season party extravaganzas.....Our new years eXtravaGa'nze'.....the usual "play" thrown in / On. So, as of late....thanks to my great bud Wayne.....I have been using his Mp3 recorder to record Almost Everything....and have come home from the club with some decent sets. Like I tell the peeps that get hold of my CD's....that they Don't come with the several "R" cocktails, OR the 300 Men or so that you may have been rubbing on that night, and you May hear, less the crowd noise, some of the distracted mixes that snuck by during the night.....but IF, you were there ....This, is what it sounded like, Then.

On that note, here's one from my brain....As I'm readying myself to leave for the club...I have a WALL of Vinyl that I have collected over the years.....and I Dig through it constantly to find things to play that either I think still work in the current sound of the sets....or just a "Choon" that I haven't heard in a while and think that They should hear. It Stirs things up in the mix. Turns out sometimes I take chances....sometimes they work better than others....but a Blend doesn't always matter when the next tune is Fierce, and sometimes I second guess myself.....It's ALL good.

This set up now, because I made a cover for the CD's, is "Sanctuary." I like the part one of any night because I DO take chances with the mix. More so than I do during peak night usually. (one note....those or you that have listened to some past sets....let me say....there are several "hits" that will now come out of the box, as I feel that I'VE heard them enough for a while...it's how it is....it's good for all of us, Trust). I always listen to the sets. Many reasons, mostly to see IF they stand up with multiple listenings...track selection, mix blend, key blend, on and on.

Heads up though...part one has some of my Fave tracks of all time in it. For some of you this set may sound a bit "Housey," but House Rules and that's where my heart lies...in the melody and the bassline. Give me a real chord progression and some strings ....hands in the air Heaven.

Part two here is some wicked peak night though. The boys must have been having ME that night. Tease that they are. Sometime they just pull it out of me. This would be my, shall we say, most cohesive set of this night. Less chances???....not sure what drove this set, but it even rocks me....(tail waggin)....>0

Part three comes in with the end of the "Warm Leatherette" remix and goes on from there....touching on some of my fave electro stuff at the moment....more peak night fierceness....the way we give it. (Big Note.....Keep in mind here that I am playing to a packed room of half nekid Men with NO dancefloor...so I Don't have to play all the Top 40ness that I might have to play were I playing a real dancefloor.)

That being said...I AM playing a Real club with a Real dancefloor again this coming Sunday (February 12th) at the Voodoo lounge....so you who are lucky enough to live in the paradise we call south Florida....please stop in and get some of the Herbicidal Sexualness. Please stop by the booth if you are there.....I love to visit with music fans and dancers.
Bring on the fans.....woof. There Will be a sign in request sheet ...as there has to be at least 15 requests to hear anything by Madonna. (love you Madonna, Mean it....let's do a Remix sometime soon.....I think it's my turn to be famous...rather than just IN-famous, Muah)

.....Love All Around.
See you in the clubs,
Herbie
