BYE BYE Miami...

And hello real world.
I came back broke, exhausted, hungry, sleep deprived, and phoneless.
Getting back to life seems harder and harder, anybody else out there feel the same?

Will be back soon with a recap.

Miami Ravecation Log - Friday 3/25/11

Friday, March 25th

1:02 AM - I'm finally one step closer to Miami in car service travelling from Orlando to Miami with two random teenage girls going to Ultra. Today has been an odessy. My original flight into Miami got cancelled after fucken fuel tank fire at MIA airport. seriously just my luck. I would hbe even know this if it wasn't for my friend Melissa, which was on my same flight. THANK YOU! And thank you American Airlines, for NOT ending me an email to let me know, pricks! Panic ensued, not to mention shit was tops turvy at work. Today was not a good day. So I reached out to my friends and I'm so grateful to have Saint Ali in my life. As soon as he heard what was happening to me he offered his skymiles like it was nothing just to get me in to Miami as quickly as possible. I'm forever in debit, that's one of the nicest selfless things anyone ha done for me in a while, and maybe ever. Even though I have the means to get to Miami, the next challenge was finding a flight. Not easy when everyone else who had their flight cancelled is going to Miami too. More bad news, everything is sold out into FLL and West Palm, with in 50 miles of my departure city NYC. And I'm still stuck at work dealing with all sorts of bullshit that went wrong.
After some heavy searches trying all sorts of possible trip combination I found one last hope.
JFK to FLL - NO!
LGA to FLL - NO!
Newark to FLL - NO!
Connecticut to FLL - NO!
BINGO! I found one more bad news, JFK to MCO Orlando - YES! I'll take it.
Next challenge, how to get from Orlando to Miami? The quickest cheapest way possible.

Well if you thought logically you would say, rent a car WRONG! guess what? 175$ dollar fee for a one way trip! This doesn't include tax, actual daily rental fee, and lets not forget insurance for grand total of 278$ Are freaking kidding me. More bad news, great.

Next option well maybe I can fly there? MIA is still shut down because of the fire, and every thing is sold out from MCO to anywhere near Miami.

What do I do?.... What do I do? Use this pea brain of yours... Think... Lightbulb flickers off in my brain. Suddenly It occurs to me that I should talk to the flight attendant, maybe there are more people that got stranded cause of the fire. I share my story with Delta flight crew and they agree to make an announcement. Hey what do I have to lose not a damn thing. As we're about to land one of them makes the announcement, with in two seconds - the teens speak up thy they have a car service waiting for them and the have space for one more! This is the first good news today. And here I'm 154 miles closer to Miami.

I keep having to remind myself why I'm doing this... To have a good time because life is too short, to be with people I love, and yes to forget about the real world!

3:20 AM - getting closer and closer, 41.3 miles till fun times. Looks like I'm going to make the Tikki after all, 5:00 AM boring time. Remember those question on math test, if train A travels at blah blah blah. My version goes if one desperate techno tourist travels 80 miles an hour and has 41.3 miles to go when will the techno tourist arrive to there final designation? The answer is just in time to make it on board that boat. Ha ha.

Ctrl Alt Dlt - Pet The Ceiling EP - From 0-1's latest release...

Exclusively due out digitally via Beatport today, March 16th, 2011!!

From 0-1 presents "Pet The Ceiling", a smashing single by new Seattle producer, Ctrl Alt Dlt. Ctrl Alt Dlt is Chris Aldrich of Seattle, formerly Detroit. For his first release 'Pet The Ceiling', Ctrl Alt Dlt takes his creation and collaborates with Milkplant on engineering and mixing duties and delivers a substantial single. The original mix commands a powerful tribal Dub Techhouse attitude designed and tested for those who want to take it higher, sure to take them up to the ceiling. Unique and original, this track is not one to pigeonhole.

Starting off the round of remixes, Detroit (now Berlin) legend Derek Plaslaiko follows up his impressive debut on Perc Trax with an excellent clangy, raw tribal number that gets heady and spaced out deep inside. The second remix comes in as a long distance collab between Portland, Oregon based producer Let's Go Outside and San Francisco based producer Milkplant bringing you a no-holds-barred funky techno stormer. This track is all about the peak time hours, play it loud!! Following up is a phenomenal deep, and 'stripped to the essentials' crawly beast that is Sone's Dub Tool. One couldn't take a track and par it down to it's most basic elements any better. And wrapping up the remixes Aaron Nesbit takes a stripped down approach, yielding a fantastic raw flavored track reminiscent of something off early Hot Mix 5 (think Micky Oliver). As always thanks for the listen, and the support!!

Complicit- 8/10 "Serious heat! Nice diversity of styles represented, I would potentially play each mix to the right crowd; first class business throughout. Props to Chris for encapsulating the concept of 'petting the ceiling' in sound; a spot-on synonym for finding your happy place on the dancefloor."

James Grindle (aka Grindle)- 9/10 "Is that Anna's voice? Entire EP is very well produced but the remix by Aaron Nesbit is gripping my balls the hardest."
