Dj Spun (Rong Music NYC) djing @ CULT Dec 2010

Thomas Bullock a DJ and part of the Wicked Sound system collective in San Francisco was the creator of this rather remarkable set of music that he called "eye of the tiger". This set, at the legendary but now defunct club 177 Townsend, started at approx 6 am when the bar re-opened for business. At the beginning of the part 1 you can hear Thomas standing on top of the turntables yelling at the crowd. His voice and the increasingly frenzied crowd response were picked up by the stylus on the record player. The record essentially acted like a large mic diaphragm....picking up the surrounding noise and channeling it to the needle. He wanted to make it clear that shit was about to get funky and that despite the late hour he expected folks to git down. Particularly cos the bar was open once again. Time to take the edge off. The music represented was a typically eclectic mix of electro, techno, disco, two step, rock, reggae and dub. It is by no means a seamless mix. There are many errors.....some of which were intentional...many of which were not. But what comes across throughout is the sense that he was going for it big time. Taking chances and going with the flow. It is one of my favorite dj sets full stop. Nuff respect Thomas. You nutter.

Hey everyone...I make music because I love music and how it makes me feel. It's as simple as that. The music I create has to have feeling, and more often than not what I call 'the feeling' — that feeling that you get when the hair on the back of your neck stands up and demands your attention.

I'm heavily influenced by design and patterns. Reggae riddims are like mathematical formulas for me — the ultimate patterns waiting to be discovered. This notion of patterns can translate to any music...if you can make something with 3 or 4 elements that can capture an audience yet still be relevant generations later, you've done something amazing. 

Not all of my tracks follow that formula but I try to let the sounds and elements speak for themselves in any track.
