[ Quote ]
"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, God damn it! My life has value!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore! I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell: I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore! Things have got to change..."

― Howard Beale (Peter Finch) / Taken from a movie "Network" (1976.) directed by Sidney Lumet. /

[ Trivia ] The title was inspired by John Steinbeck's novel. However, my all-time favorite book written by this genius American author is "Tortilla Flat".

Val Vashar - The Grapes of Wrath

The Frquencies produced and projected in the laboratory of André and Phellip, portrays the mysterious and deeply arcane functioning of the cosmos, its accelerated complexity, and the knowledge and high technology of the ancients. Rooted in the depths of science and fiction, "Consciousness" offers pulsating melodies, futuristic sound design and progressive dark heights that take you in and out of the foundations of science and physics into a strange realm that is governed by Universal Consciousness, long forgotten. and known for the great ancient civilizations of Earth.

Val Vashar is a passionate music lover and DJ. His DJ sets are combination of techno and progressive with deep, twisted & psychedelic sounds as a common denominator. Val labeled his style of DJing as bricolage - a creation from a diverse range of musical (sub)genres.

During more than two decades behind the decks, he played at numerous parties and festivals all around. Throughout the years spent on the music scene, he collaborated and participated in many projects. 

Raised on the hardcore punk ethics and deeply rooted in the underground scene, he still applies the same principles to his DJ career and work.
