10 year Old Herbicide....Aging Well !
Play/Download 1999 Herbicidal Sexualness Part 1.mp3
Thank You Monsieur Universe,
Thank you for the gift of music. My life would never be complete without it. It's also a gift that I love to share. I thank God every day of my life for it.. And, I truly appreciate that it comes out, and through me. To You. I can only give it back, as it's given to me. Feel the love people...Feel the Love. And I can't stop. I have actually tried and there were always walls put up before me. Then a door would open, allowing me to continue to use this gift. Thank you, and for all the opened doors along the way. It is Truly BEing a wonderful life. And thanks to you and all the great people that are still attracted to it, and who are in My life.
I also, love all the technology that's come along. Wish we'd had some OF IT back in the day. You know who you are. I can't seem to get enough OF IT. Sometimes my brain feels like it's going to explode. As I'm still working on my "Substitute Chordal Extensions." Owwww...there it goes again. But like my good buddy "W" says. You have to put in 10,000 hours before you're a pro at anything. I'm trying...really I am.
I've seen a lot OF IT change in all these years. Not to mention the people. Back when I Only played Vinyl. Before I ever used CD's. Before there was all this Fabulous software. Even before I could afford a then very expensive CD recorder. I recorded to Cassette. And not too long ago either. Well, here you go, with a good example. I Am, always digging the crates. I am also, always trying to free up space in my little one-bedroom DJ booth with a kitchen condo type living place. Besides the wall of industrial shelving (six of them) full of vinyl, there is a double wide closet, that I have deemed my "Disco" closet. Where I keep all the classic disco 12 inches, and remix service LPs that I have collected over the years. It's full, top to bottom. It also houses my collection of recorded cassettes from myself and various other DJ's of the day. Lately, it has become my "Mission" to listen to them all, vinyl included. And IF; I like them, they go into one place, and if I Don't....well, let's just say they find a new home. Some have been a real education in how I've grown as a DJ. But, in some cases though, it has just shown that I have always been fierce, (blush), and have always tried to play, what I thought, was the best, IMHO, music of that period in time. Case in point. This set.
Now keep in mind, that this is a cassette recording from July of 1999. Recorded at the Ramrod, Fort Lauderdale. (Yes, I've been there on and off, a Long time.) But this particular set, caught my ear as being back to back, Full of some of My Favorite progressive and house Classics, Ever. And what a lovely night this was. MmmmMuh, Herbicidal sexiness indeed.
Even though I do still own all these records, they are not currently in my rotation. Although I will, pull some of them out and record them. Also, even if I could find them all, I couldn't, or wouldn't, even pretend that I would again, play the set in the same order. Just wouldn't happen that way. (Note: IF ANYBODY, has discovered the BEST way to record vinyl, will you PLEASE, E me...plug-ins that I can use, etc.) I'm using Wavelab and just basically, peaking and changing gains when needed.
So, come back in time with me now. Ten years ago as it were. And enjoy some musical, Herbicidal History. This, is how the Herbicidal treatment was coming out back in July of 1999. There are some really beautiful songs here. Timeless I'd have to say. And all of them appeared back in the day, in what was then, the "Bin of Fierceness" (for those of you who knew me then.) I'm feeling Goosebumps.
As always, Keep your head to the sky. I hope you're all well and spreading some house love where you find it.
Keep me in touch, and let me hear from you time and again.
Stay tuned for my appearance at Winter Party Miami 2009, Friday, February 27th at 5 Ring Circuit – Discotekka Miami.
Love all around;
Herbie
