THE ADDERALL DIARIES VOL 1

Dear Breakbeat,
From the first time I encountered your distinctive rhythms and innovative sound, my heart was irrevocably captivated. Your complex, syncopated beats resonated with a part of me that no other genre could reach, sparking a passion that has only grown stronger with time.

Breakbeat, you are the heartbeat of my musical soul. Your origins, rooted in the early hip-hop and funk movements, carry a rich history that speaks of rebellion, creativity, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. The break, that magical moment when the percussion takes center stage, has always been your gift to the world, a gift that has shaped and redefined music across decades.

Your versatility is astounding. Whether it’s the raw, organic breaks of the 70s, the vibrant energy of the 90s rave scene, or the sophisticated, modern drum patterns that continue to evolve today, you have a chameleon-like ability to adapt and thrive. You bring a unique flavour to every track you touch, infusing it with an energy that is both infectious and exhilarating.

I adore how you seamlessly blend with other genres, creating hybrid styles that are innovative and fresh. Your influence on jungle, drum and bass, and even the more mainstream EDM scenes, showcases your incredible range and enduring relevance. Each beat, each sample, is a testament to your ability to transcend boundaries and bring people together on the dance floor.

Listening to you is an experience like no other. Your rhythms are a conversation, a call and response that challenges the listener to engage, to move, to feel. The unpredictability of your beats keeps me on my toes, constantly anticipating the next drop, the next twist. It’s a dance of anticipation and fulfillment, a journey that is as exhilarating as it is satisfying.

Breakbeat, you are not just a genre; you are a movement, a culture, a lifestyle. You represent freedom, expression, and a defiance of the norm. Your beats have been the soundtrack to countless nights of dancing, to moments of introspection, and to the unspoken connection between strangers united by the power of your sound.

Thank you for the countless hours of joy, for the memories etched in your beats, and for the promise of new discoveries in every track. You are a timeless love, a passion that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Here’s to you, Breakbeat, and to the endless rhythms that bind us together.

SPRING MIXTAPE: SUNSHINE & FUNKY-DROPS

Back in April, I just needed a good old-fashioned hangout, and Chuck rolled up like the legend he is.
Around midnight, we decided to spin some tunes. Now, we've jammed in one of our studios for years, but somehow never hit the record button. So, me being the wisecracking’ whiz I am, I figured—why not roll tape?

We freestyled our way through a mix session, riffing on music, DJing, and just vibin’ like the dynamic duo of RAMRODS we are.
The result? A raw, off-the-cuff, late-night blend of beats, banter, and basslines.

We had a blast, and we hope you catch a groove too.
Enjoy the chaos—we sure did.

THE LATE NIGHT SESSIONS: MIXED BY DANK SINATRA & CHUCK LA VIDA

First posted Dank Sunday Recording ; couldn't think of a better one then the last scheduled Dank Sunday of the season...See you all in the fall.

DANK SUNDAYS: LAST SHOW TILL FALL MIX

I've been getting bombarded with questions about whether I recorded my LIVE @A.SKILLZ set, and surprise, surprise—I did! Let me spin you a tale about this epic night when Calgary showed up in full force, and honestly, I'm just here trying to keep my humility in check like a DJ trying to balance the bass.

This gig marked my grand comeback after a seven-year hiatus—yes, that's right, seven years plus I’ve waited twenty years for this one as he was my last bucketlist dj to share the stage with. I wanted to pay tribute to the musical influences that shaped me, so I decided to serve it up in three delicious courses. 

First course: a throwback to my teenage years when I went by the name Eddy Brock—think of it as a nostalgic appetizer featuring the underground hip-hop scene where I opened for shows and tried to impress more than just the crowd's taste buds. 

Second course: a hearty helping of what Big Delicious & BUCK WILDE used to dish out—because who doesn't love a little throwback flavor? And for the grand finale, the dessert that is DANK SINATRA! It's a whole new recipe, and trust me, it’s a far cry from my previous concoctions.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as much as we did on stage. Let’s turn the tempo up and make some noise! 🎶
