Dear Diary....(re:sigh)

....."Last night....I went to the club....". "Had a cocktail...(D.A.B.)....talked some trash." Played some music. Mixed some beats. Told a short story. Ask 'em to Move. (They did.) It was give, it was take, it was trust. From both sides. They gave to me....I gave to them. They Made me DOIT! They Begged me to DOIT! Rubbed on it 'till I did. So how...could I refuse? Over and over, took it like a pro...and with love. Lots of love. Big love. And....I'd DOIT again. And Will. Soon.

This night..(eye roll)...magical as it was....(aren't they all, when we ask for them...when we let them?)...it happened to be a bit out of My control. It was a beautiful, July full moon. Love when they rise like that, on my night, at the club. It has this power over me. Does something to me even during the drive in. Sunroof open, jazz on the radio, cruisin' slow, so as not to rush my entrance. So I can enjoy the view of the rising moon low in the FL sky ahead of me. Hand it over in thanks. Heavenly.

On the other hand. And I've said it before. The pull of that same full moon...has a distinct sexual pull... on me...And the crowd. I'm sure of it. It's almost tangible. It's Surely visible...(w). Seems to slow things down a bit...take some of the urgency off of the rush to "Get 'er done." And well....in the end....IT gets done. Trust me when I tell you....It's a good thing for all involved.

In listening to this set...as I write this; and as you might know, I have this, what I call, five song A.D.D. I mean, I love it all, and over my 20 years in the booth... have played it all. But my sets tend to fluctuate between styles in five song sets. Moving from drum style to drum style...bassline to bassline. I have my own way that I mix style to style...that is Herbicidal. As people have said to me;...."I knew when I walked in the club that it was you (me) playing." (I take that as the highest compliment.) Mostly now, I'd say, my sets consist of vocal house, to tribal progressive...with a taste of the electro....if you need a label. With the occasional anthem thrown in for flavor..and those change often...as I dig my collection constantly for them. Then there are the Bar anthems...the songs that the bartenders love to hear....that are recurrent. So this set is some of all of that. I can feel IT... and they must have been feelin', what I was feelin'. The room always has a hoppin' late crowd. Very friendly, as the bartenders tend to pour big stiff ones.

And then; as it does...it all ends too early it seems. Just as they, and you, are getting your groove on. Just beginning to reach for it. It's out the door. Next! Well...I hope this fulfills some of your Herbicidal expectations. I have the Most fun bringing it to you. I love the job and feel like I trip through enough new music to bring you nothing but the best of it all. Hope you feel me.

Meantime....hollaback and let me hear from you. What are You listening to these days? How are you "Feelin' IT"? Spread some house love and show 'em how we DOIT! Be fierce what Ever you do and where Ever you DOIT! Keep your head to the sky. And if you're in the room and I'm spinning....stop by the booth and say hi.

Love all around,
Herbie
