Music Revival

waddup world,

Yes, i say world since i'm out here in taiwan while the rest of my friends are sleeping in california. I've been out here for one week now and its been pretty relaxing. Everyday is unplanned filled with new food and experiences which include my musical indulgence. I'm really using this trip to listen to new music and broaden my horizons. One way has been the countless hours i have spent digging through my music library of electronica/house, and dirty electro music. I want to jam out to some funky house music.

You might be wondering why i've been sorting through my music? Well.. i'm djing tonight @ Opus Bar Taipei in the House room so i'm tryna come with it and get people moving. Never been there, but here's the link to the place, check it out : http://www.opusbartaipei.com/

Anyways, been listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff Live in Amsterdam mix which is one of the reason that gots me in the funk mode. Also DJ Wonway Posibul's Makossa Classics mixtape is one ive been listening too during my stay...

consistency

yeah so i lied and didn't keep to my word and haven't been updating my blog... my bad.

To all my readers out there, I'm sorry.

So I promise i will be consistent.

Good news, I'm done with school. I'm unemployed so i'll spend my time writing here to past the time and share with you all my experiences.

Plus, been spending time in the lab, perfecting my craft, and recording mixes.

So i've been djing here and there lately, doing some private events mostly. I was doing this mansion party in late august. crazy. bananas. my boy was jumping in the indoor swimming pool at midnight while i was djing. wish i coulda swam some laps and hop back on the 1's and 2's.

Upcoming projects:

1. Operation Taiwan Infiltration- testing my luck and seeing if I can rock some clubs out in Taipei.

.....

....

eh..my list is incomplete, but I will update when i figure it out. But, I'm flying back to the Far East, for a few weeks, so check back soon.

P.S. Watch the VMA's,....don't sleep on Alicia Keys. She's got a voice of an angel, and so damn fine.

i love music, making people happy. i'm a dj.

whats up everybody,

well it's official, i have my own blog to post about my adventures as a DJ. it's the ups and downs and everything you need to know on how i get down as well as me sharing my opinions about music. if you're not interested in continue reading then go to another site, but if you would like to stay, i welcome you into my domain and my perspective.

I go by the name DJ Tyco RC aka rob chen and im still very new to this game. been djing for about 2 years now, started out as a hobby of mine which has gotten me to where i am today. being a big name dj is not a goal of mine. if it happens then great. but i would appreciate if everyone gave me the opportunity to hear what i have to write about and to hear me dj. be on the look out for mixes and random junk.i appreciate any suggestions or feedback or helpful tips so feel free to comment.thanks!

btw,i love house parties.
