  1. Passions- Music, snowboarding Passionettes - Art, skateboarding. I've always said if you know those 4 things about me, you know what 95% of my life is (not including my family, which I obviously love, but I dont get the same feelings of fufillment and belonging from my family that I do from snowboarding, or listening to/creating music.)
  2. Haha good track Drake - Over Tittsworth - WTF (Nadastrom On Drugs Remix) Busta Rhymes ft. MOP - Ante Up (Tom Buster Remix)
  3. Virgin here. Messed around but never had full fledged sex. Never messed around frequently enough to say I lost my virginity from alternative forms of sexual contact either.
  4. Have a good birthday my fellow canadian
  5. I'll break down the main characteristics of Drum and Bass, Fidget House, and Dubstep right quick, cause they're all pretty much related lol. Generally speaking Dubstep is a breakbeat (Not 4/4 time, Rap is another example of break beat, because the kicks do not land on the same beat of every bar, in every measure) hence the beat sounds 'broken'. Drum and Bass is also breakbeat, however the drum loops are much more complex and 'full'. BPM range is usually in like, 175 and higher. Fidget House IS NOT breakbeat. Its a 4 to the floor kick (4/4) in the background giving it that sterotypical house/electronica feel. In terms of leads and synths, Dubstep uses whats called a 'wobble bass' which is a bass synthesizer who's cutoff filter is being lfo'd or swept, back and forth. This gives it a wobbly sound. Thus the name lol. Dubstep also resides in filth and grime. The more distorted, mashed, sharp, dirty, nasty, and any other such adjectives a dubstep lead is, the better (for the most part). If you just youtube wobble bass you'll find tons of tutorials explaining it, and you'll hear an example lol. Now drum and bass also uses a wobble bass commonly, however there are many subgenres of DnB. Since I basically listen to Liquid DnB exclusively, I cant speak much on the darker DnB Tracks which would make heavier use of a wobble. Thus, I'm basically gonna say DnB is a fast breakbeat, with anything they want over top musically, because thats really what it comes down to lol. Fidget house, is a newerish brand of house, which came into popularity with artists like Crookers, Jack Beats, Will Bailey, Afrojack (Although afrojack does alot of minimal too). Its called fidget because well, it tends to sound fidgetty. Lots of wobble bass use, wobbly synths, erratic percussion, lots of hits, beat changeups, one shots, stabs, etc give it an always moving, fidgeting feel. Some fidget tracks Crookers - We Are Prostitutes Anyways some DnB Tracks Lazee ft. Neverstore - Hold On (Matrix & Futurebound Terrace Tantrum Mix) [Note: I did the video edit to this song myself here Not linking it for advertising purposes, but because I know it will be a high quality file of the song, I think I used a 320 kbps one] Will add a couple more when I get back from classes!
  6. Current record is 2.35. I'm catching up to you Whose fault
  7. I've dabbled in dubstep, not really my deal. I prefer to stick in either fidget, or DnB (as dubstep is like a mix of the two) Although I do listen to a couple dubstep producers once in a while, its not my main scene. Rusko Excision Cookie Monsta Joker Caspa Tek-One J.Rabbit ^^^ Are some big names in dubstep I've been seeing lots of. I personally only listen to Cookie Monsta, the grime in his tracks is unreal lol. Cookie Monsta - Ginger Pubes <333333333333333 PS. The drop at 2:07 is orgasm inducing. I should also warn that this track is not for the weak of heart lol. Pretty intense heavily distorted leads. Sounds like noise to most
  8. Well its about time someone bested me, now I have a reason to continue again haha. I havent played since my last message, so it'll probably take a couple days before my hands are up to the challenge again haha
  9. Well I'm glad you enjoyed the tunes haha. Uhh Yeah when it comes to electronica or electronica based music, I'm pretty well versed in it. This stuff isnt really housey, like, it has a few house elements in it (lots of 808, 303 percussion etc) but it not really part of that genre. Mostly its a newer genre which has been steadily emerging over the past 3-5 years. Early in the 21st century you might have noticed many artists started taking more creative liberties with their genres' branching off into others. Basically This stuff (Indie Synth pop, electropop, synth rock etc.) is the result of subsequent blurring of genre lines. Not to say no one has ever made music like this before, its just becoming more prevalent lol. If you liked Two Door Cinema Clubs stuff, I'd suggest finding and downloading their tourist history album. The rest of the tracks on there are very much like the two I posted. To answer your question about raves, well it depends what you mean by a rave. The vast majority of people have an extremely limited understanding of electronica, and the scene it thrives in (hence how people call artists like Cascada, techno, when in fact, techno is a much darker, and heavy sub genre of electronica, more akin to industrial, Hardcore, Hardstyle Hardhouse, etc. etc.) To most people anything with a 4/4 kick and a synth lead is techno lol. To me, raves aren't really a good label for what I attend. For me, raves are usually outdoor events (or held in large indoor spaces like warehouses) that last over the course of many hours. Also a rave is usually held in the extreme underground of the culture, if you aren't "in" you won't hear about it. In addition to this, raves usually do (unfortunately) include a good amount of substance abuse. What I attend are shows, when specific DJ's/Producers I want to see are on tour and make it into my city to a club to play. I frequent those quite a lot. So far I've seen The Bloody Beetroots, Steve Aoki, Le CastleVania, Felix Cartal, and MSTRKRFT live. So do I attend raves? Not really. Am I active in the club scene, specifically as it pertains to artists of interest coming here, yeah lol. PS. You might want to hold back on the use of curses and stuff in your posts, even if they're like f**k (bleeped out with asterisks or symbols), as its agains't the TOS (yes even for **** and such) and will likely get you into some trouble with the mods if you keep it up Just a friendly warning. A curse here or there usually isnt the end of the world, just keep it to an absolute minimum. Anyways I'll continue this post another time, I have to head off to class!
  10. Yup, thats basically how I do it. My strategy is; Left hand: A DEFG QRS WX Z Right hand: BC HIJKLMNOP TUV Y Edit: I scored a 2.76 this morning before school haha Edit: Edit: 2.66 Just now. That muscle memory is sure paying off haha Edit^3: JUST BROKE THE 2.5 BARRIER WEWT! 2.47!
  11. Hmm, well I dont listen to a whole lot of stuff like Rx Bandits, and Circa Survive, but Matt and Kim sound alot like the indie electro popish/synth pop bands of new. Aka the kind of music which is suddenly finding its way into mainstream light. Heres some stuff to checkout you might like Artists/Tracks you might like: Penguin Prison - A Funny Thing (Jeffrey Jerusalem Remix) - This one is really popular these days. Breakbot ft. Irfane - Baby I'm Yours Breakbot - Make You Mine Justice - D.A.N.C.E (CFCF remix) Passion Pit - Sleepyhead Theres some just off the top of my head. Want more, again, feel free to ask haha. I have a bunch more stuff, I'd just have to actually start scouring through my library lol. Theres a good mix of stuff in this list, from the more rockey/indie, to the more dancey clubby, and such. Lemme know what you like and I can compile a better fitted list next time Enjoy! Edit: I should also say, the music video for Cinnamon Chasers Luv Deluxe, is one of my favourites of all time. I definitely recommend watching at least that one
  12. Nicely done! Getting under 3 is a pretty difficult milestone. Getting lower than that consistantly is where it starts getting tough. I average around 3.10 on most attempts. Just gotta build more muscle memory I suppose
  13. I have a lot of stuff I could suggest you, depends on what you like Any particular genre your listening to? Atm the Team Teamwork album, Ocarina of Rhyme is getting alot of play from me. Tracks from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time, remixed with well known hiphop/rap lyrics. Good stuff haha.
  14. I know I've been learning about all this in psych. I simply mentioned it in the interest of maintaining this topic haha.
  15. No not like that pervs ;P How fast can you type the alphabet? Find out here! Basically, what you do is try to type the alphabet from A-Z as quickly as possible. The timer will start as soon as you hit the a key, and finish when you hit the z key. If you mess up a letter (say hitting g instead of h) you can continue, just hit the right key and you may go along as if you had never missed. Just hit spacebar to reset if you want to start over. If things get more intense we might need screecaps for proof of scores My current record (on the facebook version) is 2.64 seconds, although it never posted that time so as far as you guys know I'm lying :< The best time I have which I can provide a screenshot of is 2.80 seconds. I'm aiming to make it to the sub 2.5 second mark in the next couple days, followed by the sub 2.0 mark in the next couple weeks. Good hand-eye coordination practice Also helps awareness of the keys haha. Post up your scores!
  16. Pretty much, I'm just attracted to caucasians, both for girls and guys. Thats about it really. I'm not against other races, its just 99% of the time, I dont find people of non-white races to be attractive. I'm not particularly attracted to aryans, usually going for the black haired dudes. Aryan girls are where the parties at though I've always found a severe repulsion from people of my own race (I mean repulsion in the sense of like magnets, pushing away from like poles, not in the sense of them being disgusting/repulsive ) No idea why.
  17. I think to answer that question requires us to delve into much more complicated questions like, Why do people still fight and kill each other, why is there any kind of conflict at all? Why do people horde resources from each other, when if divided properly, there would be more than enough for everyone? Why do we still use social institutions and structures developed hundreds of years ago? Why do we even still follow a social hierarchy? Etc. Etc. In short I dont feel there is any simple answer. You'd think that a species as advanced as our own, would have moved on to a system of living more appropriate than, "I'm more powerful than you, do what I say or else." For the interest of keeping this topic going, I often find myself wondering about quantum mechanics. I've read a few articles here and there, but for the most part it just goes over my head. Entanglement and quantum computing are of particular interest to me I'd say. Anyone care to shed some light on this topic?
  18. LOLOL at oozinator. Who thought of these toys? Haha.
  19. Quite literally everything. I done LOVE everything, but I can guarantee thers at least 1 song from nearly every genre I like. For the most part in order of freqency of listening 1.) Electronica (70%) 2.) Rock/stuff (15%)(I'm not familiar with sub genres of rock at all, but I think what I mostly listen to is called Metalcore and post hardcore. I also listen to some punk and stuff. Acoustic. W/e really.) 3.) Rap/Hip-Hop. (15%) I known a pretty solid amount about electronica and its subgenre's and tend to drift around in them quite frequently. At present I've been listening to more clubby stuff. Electro House, Fidget House, House, Club-House etc. Also been involved in Nu-Disco and Disco-House as of late. Been getting more involved in the Drum and Bass world as well, msotly the Liquid DnB zone for starters. Some artists/tracks I'm listening too from each area. 1.) Electronica Frank Music Computer Club The Bloody Beetroots Steve Aoki Designer Drugs DatA Alan Braxe Fred Falke Armand Van Helden Boyz Noize Bart B More LAZRtag Breakbot CFCF Le Babar Bobby Analog Bounce Camp Duck Sauce Fake Blood Justice LightsOverLA FukkkOfff Royksopp The Twelves Logistics Camo & Krooked Danny Byrd Brookes Brothers Netsky Sub Focus 2.)
