Just back from two days in Bristol. Perfection

Lost my phone on a bus just before I got the coach up, so apologies if you have tried to contact me, I'm unreachable til I get a new one. Soz.

I spent two days, checking out Bristol to see if I want to move there for a bit, like I did Glasgow courtesy of Shireen and Frankie Boyle in 2022. The latter let me stay in his empty house and the former arranged it.

This time however instead of writing I am gonna try and brush up my DJing skills and reintroduce AKA Mama Junk (my alter ego) back to the world! Whilst in Bristol I went to Education Sessions @ Cosies, an infamous Jungle and Drum and Bass venue. And there I met the best junglists and I'm inspired! It’s a challenge I can't wait for!

At Cosies I met a junglist who had DJ'd all round the world, including Bristol, Wales and London. He had recntly had 3 strokes so wasn’t doing too much DJing anymore or drinking. He left early I am glad to say. I couldn’t tell you what his DJ name was, as he said he’d had so many and taken so many drugs it’s all a bit hazy.

He told that pre 2003 he used to play at 160 bpm, post 2003 he couldn't play faster than 130 bpm. That is an investigation in itself. Drugs, I suspect Ketamine specifically changed the uK raving scene forever.. Who flooded the streets with it?

I also met another guy on Thursday night at Watershed’s live synth night. A mad genius if ever have seen one. He’s been live palaying synth since 2019 and made the rig below in 3 days.

He did a set and didn't drop the bass once. Was dancing in my seat throughout.

Spoke to him after and mentioned , "you never dropped the bass" he said, "nah, you just keep goin". A philosopher.

Then on Friday night after Joshua Idehen’s's gig I told him and his mate the above story and he told us that,

the only song that has never dropped the bass in the charts is Prince's When Doves Cry.

Honestly my ethnography senses were peaked these last few days!

So for the last four days I have been living my best life! Boat trip, Seabass dinner, Porn Star Martinis live music and Jungle.

I'm not sure why #SpyCops and whoever else don't realize that I am at my best when under threat and pressure. I thrive! Similar to others who have ADHD traits like Assed Baig and my ex Malcolm. That's why we make the best war and foreign correspondents.

I would say they are probably psychopathic traits as well. So would suggest all the working class white, black and brown informants, #SpyCops, undercover cops and spies put their psychopathy and narcissism to good use and become war or foreign correspondents ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Lots of people are smart, far fewer are brave and even less are competent.
