be your own best companion app (dj tools & mantras) by xxsd

"There's just too much / that time can not"

Only years later, when hearing the original track somewhere, did I realize that one of the first mp3s I had downloaded and carefully put on a USB-stick type player to skate to had actually been a corrupted file: A few magic seconds of vocals and a drone-y riff, skillfully looped over and over again over the course of several minutes, were - all of a sudden - rendered to be nothing but a robotic scam. What I had believed to be simple and honest music, was supposed to be invalidated in an equally ingenious and brute revenge of the real?

This EP is the result of me asking: What if someone was just too shy to claim these recordings and instead decided to release them into the Napstersphere, hoping some kid would be tricked into using their parents precious bandwidth to download and possibly share them with their friends.

Beyond a mere romantic reconstruction, I found myself documenting skipping through loops, just, too much, of my every day life for the last year..

just too much
time
just too much
just too much
there's just
time
just too
just

To be experienced in a similar, solitary trance. as loud as possible.

ps:
the sub-title "dj tools & mantras" is not ironic in the sense that I'd love to see some of these played out on a dance floor & ppl losing it just as much as I'd wish for some vocalists to re-record these as antiphon, chant or mantra without it being necessarily religious.
