Push the feeling on

It's amazing. I think I'm beginning to feel it all over again... I'm rediscovering why I like electronic music so much. I've been listening to tracks by Interstate, Nightcrawlers, Cass Fox, Andy Moore - the list goes on - and I feel so alive. It's crazy how far one track can take you!

So I know I've been ranting on about making my new mix, but I have to confess, New York City is one place that can steal your time. No kidding. I've been meaning to make Rhythm Electro 4 - "And Beyond" for months now. But I promise I'll get on it the next time I go back to Lafayette. Which reminds me ... I tested out my new speakers! Behringer B215's... they're insanely light and versatile. For 600 watts each, they really are teasers... I love them.

In other news, I was thinking things over today, and I figure that next year is going to either be really good year or a really bad one for the same reason; I'm going to be trying some new things out - with music, with business and with FAAP - and if they work according to plan, it's going to be bananas!

Alright, I'm sitting here with my faithful bottle of JD and I need to be getting ready. It's a night on the town tonight. The Kheraj Brothers are about to do it again ...

Until next time, bon chance.
Cher,
Kheraj

Serving up the fix

Originally published on Vijana FM | 22nd July 2012 On a recent album release by Nas called Life is Good , Anthony Hamilton sings “The world is an addiction / serving up a fix”. The track goes on to discuss the dangers of selling out in pursuit of irrational dreams; indeed, “you gain your life just to lose your soul”. Sometimes I wonder if Tanzania is losing her soul. Perhaps – as time passes – it is me growing more conscious, or media becoming more pervasive to drama. But it seems like this country is chasing grandeur that is alien to her history and at odds with what she needs today. Her history and her needs; what do these mean? For the purpose of this post, I am pointing to Tanzania’s historical pursuit to be an independent nation-state, free of international dues and reliance on help. I am also referring to her current state of affairs, mainly consisting of an inefficient system of education coupled with an unbalanced system of trade. There are a few example...

Tanzania is not Tasmania

Dear friends: Please let's stop refering to Tanzania as Tasmania. Here is why. Tanzania is located on the coast of East Africa, below Kenya. It is not origin of the the cartoon character from your childhood. Tasmania is an island which is part of Australia. The animal known to exist only on Tasmania is the Tasmanian Devil. Once again, you will see this is not the cartoon character you remember from your childhood. Let's summarize: Tanzania is not Tasmania.

Thoughts about Egypt

The city I was just in about 6 months ago - which owns more than a million years of human history - is now hearing a desperate, angry, and fearless roar of reform from its people, whose voice is reverberating across several Arabic-speaking countries. Egypt is an extremely valuable player on the global playing field. It's ancestors are known to have built one of the first far-reaching ordered civilizations the world has known. Medieval Egypt significantly advanced scholarship in the sciences and philosophy. In contemporary times, it has been looked at as a model of modernization amongst Arab states. Even more recently, Egypt has provided strong support in brokering peace in the Middle East, and negotiating as well as facilitating the transfer of resources from and to the Western world. The people of Egypt, therefore, have witnessed many, many changes in leadership. Moreover, they have experienced diversity in the most deepest historical aspect of the word. Surely, a people with s...
