My Music Hitlist

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 09:22:37 +0000

Who reminds me of whom ... some Artists when I play music back from gives me a déjà vu feeling.. and takes me back in time.. here are some of my friends with whom I have had quality time enough to register an artist's impression of them. For me its their music, they liked it, dosent matter if it was me who played it to them, or they who played it to me. So when someone else plays back that track, I go like 'Hey, you are like him/her.. he/she used to like this track too!'

Aren't you what you ~~eat~~ listen to? Can't you tell a lot about your friends by what kind of music they like?

Black Music

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:01:07 +0000

Is not really black. There are more White people who like Rap, HiP Pop, RnB and whatever else they call it. I have seen bad ass Korean people listening to them too in ghettos..

I dont know why people call it black music, maybe because their artists are mainly black and theme / lyrics is about ghetto too.. so they mistakenly or consciously refer to it as 'Black People's Music'

Infact of all the black people I know in my life, the one's who really like to party and get fucked up, always actually have played me electronic music from their PCs and in their cars and I have seen them enjoying it more than me...

Longest non-stop listening.

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:52:17 +0000

Whats the longest set have you ever heard? I mean by hearing is to actively listen to music and have it as your main occupation in that time.

Well I have had a 11 Hr marathon run when I played music and listened to it in one 11 Hr stretch at one go.. it was a weekend and I knew I had no plans for next two days and my phone was off too.. sooo you know.............

All this 11 Hr I didnt just played any long liveset.. I actually selected each and every track and basically DJed for 11 hrs.. :DDDD

Played with my music collection..!!

Happy Listening.. everyonellle!!

Aurosonic and why I have such a large playcount of them..

Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:14:45 +0000

The whole play count is from one single album, I dont even know if they released any other good albums, because I tried a few others from them and they were all shit.

But this one album "Aurosonic - Always Together" .. was the right album I discovered at the right time.

I always say that every track, album, music has a memory attached to it, and when you listen back to that track you are just re-living the days when you first heard and fell in love with that track.

This album is same for me, I heard it during the best phase of my life till now and I just repeat it when I want to live that phase again. I repeat this album a lot which fucks up my playcount a little bit but I dont mind it at all.. its my way of saying a big thanks to all the people who liked it and enjoyed it with me at that time. Cheers ..

My 10K Track!!

Tue, 7 Jun 2011 13:59:21 +0000

I am sure my 10,000th track was some song from DJ Tiesto Album - Revolution Mix. I dont know if it was disk 1 or 2, but most probably it was disk two, I love that album, initially when I first heard it I dismissed it thinking all the tracks sounds too familiar .. but after a while it grew on me and now it shares a Most Played badge on my recently new Zune Player Profile.. I listen to this album a lot while commuting..

Anyhow, I am not the one who just scrobbles for the sake of play count, every track scrobbeled is what I have heard, so 10,000 tracks means a lot to me.. I think its like 15 tracks a day on average since 2007!! My love for music is lifelong and it will remain so.

Edit: Oh Yeah, and it was played on Memorial Day Holiday of 2011. HAHA!! I know exactly where I played it.

Discovering music from unusual sources..

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:27:43 +0000

There have been so many times when I find myself loving a movie or even a TV show because of the music in it and nothing else about it. Sometimes we fall in love with a product because of the catchy tunes in its Television commercial. Or a particular movie scene we never forget because of the music behind that scene..

Advertisements, Television Programs, News Channels, Playback music behind movies are some great places I find interesting tunes from and than I say to myself, what a waste of this melody, it could have been made into a great track but it ended up in this 30 second clip.. that's not fair.

Here are some tunes I like:

In the last video above, Fast Forward it to 2.20 seconds. Its actually better if you watch it together with the whole movie.. :)

One more tune I love is in Sonata experience introduction video for the new Sonata 2011 on Hyundai USA website. Somehow they dont have it on youtube neither is it available for download.. so I just go to their website to listen to it over and over again. But I know someday they will bring it down so I even shot them a mail asking if I can get that file in MPEG or some other format. Very inspiring video with great music behind it.

Tranciest Tracks.

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 23:39:21 +0000

1. Tiesto - Fratty Boy
2. Ferry Corsten - Galaxia
3. Adam Sheridan - Lektrik (Original Mix), Album: Kontor - Maximum Trance 2 (Disk 1)
4. Guido Percich - Broken Thoughts (Leach Remix) [Very good progressive track towards the second half.]

More to appear as I discover them... :/

But yeah they are Trancier more than any other.. heavy synths!! HEAVY and not shy about it.

Five Senses..

Mon, 8 Nov 2010 02:28:53 +0000

Of all the five senses we have, seeing, hearing, touch and feel, taste and smell.. for me listening is the most important sense.. I can live without the sense of smell, but I will suffocate and die if I loose the sense of listening, the ability to listen to music.. that's how much I love music. I get edgy and irritated if I dont listen to music for more that two weeks... its music that assures me that human life is beautiful. Respect to music producers and a big Thank You!

Sounds in natural form.

Sat, 3 Apr 2010 16:44:17 +0000

Their are some sounds in nature which everyone likes but take it for granted... I would like to list some which I like here... :

1. It is the sound of pouring rain from inside of a standing car with windows closed. Raindrops fall on one's car's chassis and it sounds sooooo good from inside if their is no other distraction. Listen to it next time and tell me if its not good.

2. Galloping horse in a rhythm, this one is only good only if he or she is in perfect spontaneous rhythm, it gets very beautiful. Many producer use it as their baseline beats, but I think its an easy way out, I like it, but producers should be more innovative when constructing a rhythmic beat for their melodic track. I call it 'Beats from a Horse's heartbeats.'

3. Another one is noise coming from a city from a distant isolated place outside the city / town / village, I think it shows us life and how it feels being alive, but from a distance, and that distance makes me feel I am not a part of it, it feels amazing.

4. Heartbeats: Duk [pause] Duk [pause] Duk Duk... Repeat!!

5. Little bubbles bursting in water.. let it be Champagne, Aerated Water, Soda or something as simple as Coke.. but to enjoy fill only half glass and cover the opening of glass with your ears and than listen to it. I know it will wet your ears a little bit and its disgusting but the sound sounds totally different than when you hear it from distance. Its pure, beautiful, innocent and unadulterated.

I will try to post more as I notice them.. but I dont wanna write simple ones which everyone likes and notices it, like waves crashing on beach or birds. I heard one more but at this moment I dont know how to describe it, let me think of some words.

Big Fat ASOT List

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 05:16:33 +0000

This is a list of tracks I love from ASOT episodes, I will try to keep adding as and when I like some new track. I want to make to atleast 100 different track names which I absolutely love and I found it on ASOT. Its difficult to know the track's name when one is already 30 minutes into the set and has lost touch of what the track count is, in the euphoria of what is called music.

1. Enmass Feat Shimika Brice - So Please (Alexander Popov mix) : This piece has good metallic synths somewhere in middle and towards the end everything, all different layers comes together in perfect harmony.

2. George Acosta feat. Tiff Lacey - I Know (Beat Service Proglifting Remix) : One my favorite style of beats in this track, lol, no I am just too shy to admit that I love the cheesy synths more than the beats.

3. Marco V feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn – Coming Back (Nic Chagall Remix) : I ignored this one the first time I listened to it coz of male voice vocals, but after 2-3 times more I fell in love with the pushy beats of this track.

4. Beat Service feat. Emma Lock - Hiding To Nothing: I cant believe how much this track has been ripped from track Number 3 on this list, its open and in your face rip, absolutely identical beats. Its just that the push in this track has been replaced from pushy beats to pushy rotating synths which bounces back from one corner of room to another. It amazing. Its a rip, but its definitely a positive one.

5. Luigi Lusini - Who We Are: I got a perfect music video for this track, a lady riding a horse in that elegant Equestrian clothing, complete with that lovely hat, black jacket, tight cotton pants and high heel leather boots. Ride this horse on a beach at sunset. Match the speed with the galloping beats in this track. And that would be a perfect setting. Quite and introspective track. Listen to this wearing Earphones, not on any speakers. Only on earphones you will notice that galloping horse.

6. Reverse - Absolute Reality (Arty Remix): It was the start of Spring Break at my Grad school when I first heard this track. I was sitting in the front seat of my school bus which goes all around the campus before going to nearest train station which takes us to Penn Station in Manhattan and from their every where else in US. And as I played this track, students with all their luggage started getting on, on that bus at different stops. Just looking at them being all happy and ready to go to some beach and with this track playing in background was an experience. I like how this track is all about fresh life. About travel. About seeing places.
