Techno for Love part 2
I AM.....how do you say....Delicious. Oh yeah! I AM a delicious, and local, South Florida DJ du jour....and I hold Fabulous court every week. I stand before you, accused, of dancing to my own drummer. I beat out beats like no other. My tune choices sometimes cross lines not crossed before. Sometimes it’s music to open a room, but Sometimes, it’s music to change lives. I open eyes and I open minds. Sounds big. But, I hear things. I know things. I feel things....differently.
I Believe. I have Faith. I preach and I teach. I have something to say. What you ask. In What you ask. Of what. Well, I’d say all you have to do is listen to my tune choices....as I was so aptly pointed out to this during this past week. Because I am always talking to you.....in song. Every song may not even have a lyric....that’s not the point. Let the Spirit of the lyric carry you until the next one.
I AM first a dancer. Yes, it’s been some years, and the steps have changed. But the 4/4 remains the same, well sorta. I also have always liked to push the limits of what might be “Expected.” I love “Songs with Lyrics.” They tell a story of love and of being loved. The beats that connect them however can range from your typical drum sounds of bass, snare, hi-hats etal....to 4/4 beats created of sounds Made by Sounds. Techno. I Love Techno. I Love Technology.
To me....Techno creates waves of beats. I begin dancing in Phrases instead of just beats. Phrases of waves of beats. They wash over me in sexxxtions of two, four, and even eight beat sections. I like to pick out noises to dance to....noises become the ONE....the downbeat. They become the beginning of where I hang on to the beat. My step, and feel, is still on the 1,2,3,4....but I hang, bend, sway and lean on the phrase. I wait for it. I anticipate the One. And that’s when the hands meet the air. But all you dancers out there know this without having to think it.
All That said....Now to the music for this podcast. Wow. I have over the years been made in-Famous by getting to, and being able to play some pretty outrageous parties and residencies. Very lucky I might add. Recently, I have this Fab little Big gig here in Fort Lauderdale at a very sexy little Big back room club called Slammers. I’m playing there Because of what I like to play. The owners there tell me they want less vocals...infact....No Divas at all. Don’t get me wrong...I still give them vocals....now and again...but mostly the Sexy ones. (sly) So for this Herbicidal installment, it is with My Pleasure....that I give to You...just a taste.....of the sexual flavor, that I love to bring to that room. It’s Hotness squared into a wicked maze of rooms and stairs and closets, with great flow, great sound, great sensual lighting ....great staff....and ME. Serving it Up....on a techno and progressive flava.
OK....go grab hold of your favorite cocktail...Hoist it high and in my general direction....Turn UP the volume and crank this set into your senses....and take the ride on My wild side. I should hope that All your big room parties should be This sexy. (ps...I Need A Dancefloor!!)
Keep your heads to the sky....Don’t live in fear....and Love like it’s your first time to Be loved.
Love all around
Herbie
P.S. I know, I know....Now somebody’s going to start up on me that “Oh, all he plays is Techno.” NOT. Let’s get this straight once and for all time. I play the Room.....The Party at hand. It’s All in the bag and how it comes Out of it at that moment. (Just take Any of the other podcasts as evidence.) End of That story.
Thank you Very much.
