Fire Within V2 Part 1 Intro - Skender Makota daBalkanimal

I DO THIS cause it's hard. Not because it's easy.
Ask not what music can do for u, ask what you can do for the MUSIC! 
Yeah, sorry, I know it;s lame, but so is soundcloud with spam... 
I get lots of emails which turn out to be fake, bots, ai or whatever... offering promos etc, is this all fake, anyone know?
Since soundcloud is oh so advanced to block my remixes, they can block these fake cunts wasting our time with trix, making poor guys and gals all over toget all worked up - writing to a robot :)
sad when you think about it, 
but I stopped giving a shit about anything social media anyway, unless I get some free time to smoke a doobie and laugh at "dear artist" or "love the lyrics which resonate" and I have no lyrics, just a bad ass jamm.. so whats up, is this crap really unstoppable by soundcloud? 
Too bad... I'll move my releases soon on bandcamp and take it from there, but if you are real and message me, please don;t offer any services like promos, clicks, reposts etc, I have NO idea what that even means, and dont care. 
If you are genuine listener, and contact me to say whatever, please start with "her asshole" your shit is good/bad etc, that way I know you are a real human, doing what humans do best, being assholes to each other aha, take that AI 
and blow me while you're at it, now that;s a useful project to work on insted of making people insane, hungry, out of jabs and generally hopeless... 
but there is still chance for us MUSICIANS > No record label tyranny, we are free to create anything we like.. and people  can like or not. Fair trade. Making music in itself is all I ever really need...  
REAL musicians, real people, real music - forever. 
Let the jingles, lame collabs and contracts behind in the past, lets move forward and create NEW SOUNDS
We will prevail, you will see, even if we move to a deserted island and disconnect any network, but build the one based on human flash, blood, sweat and tears... and Moog Synths :)

Balkanimal - focus on live pa performances where I try to recreate different mixes of my own original house, deep house, tech house, techno, minimal, ambient, jungle... well, you get the  idea :)
IF IT MOVES, THEN IT GROOVES!


I try to not restrict myself in the world of electronic music composition and creation by staying within the confines of sub-genres, expectations, lingering in the (boring) safe zone, the beaten path which in my view is a waste of time. 
I try to push the envelope and reinvent. 
I also like meeting, collaborating and otherwise hanging out with people who share this view, not just music and art, but science, education, life and social acceptance, where we truly are equal cause we truly feel that way. 

Trend followers are not worth my time, neither am I worth theirs.. 
but if you want to reinvent, and have fun in life doing it by exploring options and adjusting instilled expectations in electronic music creation... then by all means - we're already friends!
