back from the UK

Good to be back after a two week trip... my younger brother got married and now our family is twice as large as it was in May. Many friends & relatives at the wedding for who - some - I'd not spoken to for over 12+ years.

Caught up with my grandfather and his brothers (my great uncles) for the first time in over a decade then spent the remainder of the time chilling with my parents and even younger brother, all of whom I do not see nearly enough. Managed to avoid London completely, thank god.

What did I learn from the trip back to the old country? Well for starters:

Hong Kong super markets SUCK ASS. Unless you count City Super Overpriced. Park n Crap and Wellshit have the least exciting range of food known to mankind. Forty foot isles dedicated to instant noodles and one miserable packet of cheddar. Don't get me started on onion marmalade.

Hong Kong's preservation of history & buildings SUCKS ASS. No comment necessary.

Hong Kong newspapers SUCK ASS. Google UK government expenses scandal or check the UK Telegraph if you've not already read. Would love to see the HK press stop taking cheap shots at pop stars and get down to some real political and economic reportage; even if only on a local level ... Beijing's radar only sweeps so low.

Hong Kong's management of natural & urban space SUCKS ASS. Parks with grass you can 't sit on, forests you can't free ride bikes or go hiking in and beaches you can't do anything on except sit & sweat. No wonder junk trips are so popular.

Hong Kong does have a large number of plus points in it's favor: ~17% income tax, 24 hour noodle shops, cheap taxis & great public transport ... family run oligopolies and monopolies everywhere you look. Uh and cockroaches the size of skateboards. Hmmm.

Glad to be back.

Everyone's a f*cking rock-star?!

I create conceptual albums & sound design projects for artistic self-indulgence.

I produce overly complicated club music & remixes for DJs to play and people to dance to. My biggest buzz is watching a crowd go ape-shit over one of my tracks. DJs such as Sasha, James Lavelle, Lee Burridge, Laurent Garnier, Hyper, Carl Cox, Adam Freeland and many others have played my stuff. For that I am honored.

I mix, engineer, remix, re-engineer, tune, pitch, time, edit, tweak, massage, shunt, cut, paste, jam, hack, slash, destroy, re-build, EQ, compress, expand, de-ess, limit, reverb, delay, nudge, pickle, hate then forge lumps of major-label pop dirt into little commercial nuggets – for cold hard cash.

I built & own & oversee the running of bar Yumla, which has been the leading source of club music in China since 2003. In fact my studio is also the leading source of electronic & club music in China. Try proving me wrong on that.

Have over 40 vinyls 'out there' with my releases or remixes on them. And many more CDs, albums and DJ compilations have felt my ... presence. Google "disuye" ... that's one half of me. Google "beer" ... that's the other.
