Class Of 1979

Tracks I repost shld be played on an as huge as possible soundsystem.
For maximum pleasure and details you usually wouldnt HEAR - nor feel...
If you don't own a system like that start beeing a DJ - and use other's systems. And you might start travelling clubs and 5star hotels. :)

Few weeks ago I was DJing for the GORILLAZ!
Their ofcourse bearded manager just yelled "U r doin it! U r doin it! Watch your ass! Gorillaz ladies around!"
A few days later Wu Tan Clan. They superhappy - me superhappy.
A groupie wanted RZA to show her how to become a DJ.
RZA replied over a fourty times: "You don't become a DJ! You ARE a DJ if you ARE a DJ! START DJING! HE is a DJ cuz HE-IS-DOIN-IT!"

If you have to leave the city and move to the country side to train DJing to the perfect tunes L-O-U-D - so DO IT!
PERFECT tunes optimized played with and loud - GRAB YOUR AUDIENCE!
And make ma happy.
May peace and my liked tunes be with you - and them.

Jah bless.
