Random Factor: Music that changed my Life…

When i got into house it was this bizarre wave of disco samples and loops and DJ dan was king ha.. those were the days.. (as if i rember them).. i was more into Industrial thou and got into house by mear accident. As i started releasing more  house tracks my style change totally after  listening to Random Factor and alot of stuff on 2020 vision (thanks JEFFERY MAC!!)

After hearing the sounds of random factor my stuff got back in touch with the synth and i totally stoped using disco loops in my tracks.. it was like if i was free! free from limitation of disco loops!  well anyways im getting off the subject but  back to random Factor to mne he changed my sound and heres an old but goodie this was one of the tracks that totally turned my  taste around!

Review: Learning Secrets 6 Year Anniversary at Beauty Bar with CLASSIXX & WOOLFY 1/22/10

I was psyched when I first heard that Learning Secrets had booked Classixx and Woolfy for their six year anniversary party. It seems that Ian Orth & Jeremy are kindred spirits with me when it comes to all things disco, italo, & boogie.

Unfortunately while arriving fashionably late we missed the opening dj’s sets as well as Woolfy’s performance. Beauty Bar had the back parking lot fenced off where they had set up a tent and were having several bands play. We entered thru the rear gate and quickly rushed past the band playing outside(sorry guys). I was in a hurry and had been anxiously anticipating this night for quite a while and no one could stop me now. We could hear the enticing pulse of the bass and the sweet sounds of synth arpeggios in the air.

It was actually kind of hard to squeeze into the back door just past the men’s bathroom as the building was entirely rammed full of people. Wow, I hadn’t seen Beauty Bar this crazy since SXSW ’09. Classixx was already mid-set and fully rocking out dropping nu-disco bombs and classic deep house gems to a writhing throng of super sexy and up for it party people. The boys mixes were spot on and their programming was tight. Even though you almost needed a shoehorn to maneuver your way through the thick sweaty crowd everyone seemed quite gracious and in a pleasant yet festive mood.

We eventually worked our way onto the dance floor and wiggled for a few before heading to the bar to grab some drinks. It was quite a night, I ran into friends from all kinds of scenes, all the way from goths to ravers. Great job guys, happy anniversary, and cheers to another 6 years! -Adam Warped

The Golden Filter Beauty Bar Austin TX ( jakes Ghetto Review

By far this was one of the most memorable shows  to me this year because every track rocked ! Chris Casual  early this month had hipped me on to them but i really hadn’t payed much attention until 2  weeks ago . To me there like 20 20 vision  meets Siouxie  reminded me allot of Random Factors earlier stuff and 2020 visons sound (that they  so strayed away from    but with an updated twist!
