Hello my friends,
I hope you're doing as well as I am. You might consider the following bad news or either very good news. It's my duty to show you the good side of a decision I took this week.
From now on, you probably won't see AIRWAVE at clubs performing at all, and this for several months or maybe even years. I decided I'd put more time and energy making records as this always has been my core business.
This won't have any negative side- effects on some future bookings or requests prior to this, like the one in Lebanon, also another request in Canada, and I think the very very last one in Ieper/Ypres, in Belgium. If you live in the area, this will probably be your last chance to see an Airwave Live set before a very very long period, because after that, seeing me playing more than once in a year will be a miracle. Not because promoters don't book me, but because I will refuse almost ALL booking enquiries.
This also means my collaboration with Y-catch Agency, has been put to an end, too. So, if you have further requests please send them directly. Keep in mind that, 99 of the 100 requests will be rejected from January 1st, 2008.
So, you might think that's the end?? Well, here's now the good side of things:
First of all, I want to make more music, or at least music that suits me, and I also want to put more attention into detail. This week saw me make incredible music, like I was pushed by this wind of change in my back.
Prepare for a shock, as from now on, I will use every single little bit of this knowledge which I have collected for 11 years. You will hear maximum risk, and many of you will be kinda lost.
Secondly, I want to think further than dance music and its nombrilist-dj's. I want to make music for other media too. The world needs music everywhere, so there are plenty of opportunities in other areas.
Thirdly, I want to explore more of that musical and sound theory and share what I discovered with the others. And the release of Triloops Dance Breaks on loopmasters is just the beginning.
Fourthly, I want to help younger artists develop their careers. I'm thinking here about all those artists who got their first records signed on Banshee. I don't have much knowledge or experience compared to some, but still, I am willing to share it at least.
That said, I REALLY enjoyed performing sets in all those locations.
I will NEVER EVER forget the crazy people at the Landscape Party in Tokyo, Japan, the "Happy Birthday" being sung by enthusiastic fans in Istanbul Turkey, the Culture shock in Qatar, the Fantastic crowd at Blade in Budapest, the huge mess in Estonia, Tomorrowland and my friends who could finally see this too, my broken luggage/headphones and Keyboards Courtesy of Czech Airlines last August, but especially Progress your Mind at Dopler, Bratislava, all those signs of friendship and joy that you've been showing for 2 years.
Thanks a million times in advance for this. I will try organizing something special for that very last date, but can't promise anything!
After all, only memories remain. Let's make sure they're good for everyone.
Now it's time for... File>Save>Close>New document_.."
