    I used to think I could move like this until my body said - 'stop this madness'.  Incredilble to watch and a great tune.

    Old skool but a track that seemed to be played constantly in Bangkok.  Great tune.

    For October I decided to go visit me ole pal in Thailand.  

    Beautiful people, scenery and what I love most, beautifully random.

    You certainly are able to put things into perspective when you see some of the shit that is acceptable there.

    One moment that stands out more than most....my friend and I were sitting having a beer at a bar facing onto the road/pavement.  We could hear a skateboard approaching but couldn't see anyone.

    We looked over the bar and saw a guy wearing a demin jacket, shades, and only had a torso. From the waist down there was nothing. He was sitting on a skateboard (think Eddie Murphy, Trading Places) 

    We looked down to him and he simply opened his arms wide and said 'taa-daaa!!!!'  He laughed and then rode away...

    Given what he was dealing with, he could still laugh.

    An important lesson was learned that day, I'd either drunk too much and was seeing things or I should just take a step back from my own shit and just laugh too.

    I also did my advanced DJ-ing course with the good chaps at Subbass.  An intense weekend course which helps you understanding mixing and producing music better.  Thoroughly enjoyable and met some top folk.

    I mix vinyl but learned how to use CDJs - very weird but straightforward enough.  The plan is to get my mixing up to scratch then play out.

    An obvious choice perhaps but accurate nevertheless.

    Because it's crap. 

    Adds no value.

    And I'm yet to meet anyone who's got anything back from 'checking in'

    What a fucking terrible month it's been for so many people around the world. Personal problems do seem to pail into insignificance.  

    It's hard to to find a track that can do any of the suffering any justice.  This is easy listening and for me a leveller.

    Yush Kalia

    Love creativity, whether advertising, technology, social or mobile.

    I am passionate about music. My flavours range from Indie to drum and bass. I also love photography. Pictures can speak a thousand words, which is a stroke of luck as I only know about 20. And most of them are expletives.

    I like to think in the moment, when I'm strolling along looking at the world around me. Many of the conversations in my head begin with the words 'wouldn't it be cool if....' and that's usually my prompt to jot it down or tell someone.

    This blog is an outpouring of those ideas, stuff I feel compelled to post about and the music that fills my ears.

    My views and thoughts are my own and not necessarily those of my employer. Unless they are any good, in which case, I'm sure we'll be having words.

    Share what you learn.
