Dear World: What The Actual Fuck?

There is a lot going on lately. Yes, I have been working on new music and collaborations with other artists, and I will get to all that (If you were hoping to glean information about my music, continue reading beyond my angry message, coming up). But first, let’s talk about current events.

Covid-19 and the Poor Response To It By The United States, Worldwide Protests for Equal Rights, Wealthy People In Control of Government, Police Brutality, Murder Hornets, Increased Seismic Activity at the Yellowstone Site, Asteroids Buzzing The Earth, and let’s not forget Loosening Environmental Regulations To Line The Pockets Of The Wealthy (goes along with Wealthy People In Control of Government)…

This isn’t going to simply deflate. This will eventually pop.

Most of the blame can squarely be placed on the current “president” of the United States and his personal allies (not the allies of the United States, which I am hoping we can smooth those relations after we get rid of Orange #3). Oh, in case you were curious what my stance is on our current leadership: Fuck trump. Fuck mCconnell. Fuck the lockstep, bootlicking republicans who protect Orange #3. Fuck the police whose fraternity protects the fascism that is rampant in their ranks. I’m sure there is more I could jam my dick in, but this covers a lot of the current holes I would currently like to see plugged.

In case you might be wondering: I don’t give a fuck if you decide you will not support my work because I am not “fascist-friendly”. Go fuck yourself to some Morrissey. Trust me when I say, I don’t make enough money from what I do to notice you will be gone, and your sudden shunning of my work will not take my synths, basses, or microphones away. I will continue to create music, and there is a good chance it will only become angrier and more vitriolic toward your stupid, fucking cause.

Now, onto the good stuff.

I just finished a collaboration with Finnish project, Tonttu. If you agree that gnomes are pure evil and are in control of everything that is wrong with this world, you will certainly enjoy this song. If you wish to learn more about what I just said, I implore you to search out Tonttu’s music collection. It is pure anti-gnome propaganda. Begin your journey, here: https://tonttu.bandcamp.com/

Anyway, I created the music as a backdrop to a story told by Hannu Kulju (Tonttu’s vocalist and leader of the anti-gnome army) about how gnomes have taken over Hell. You can enjoy this tale by clicking on either of these links:

I have also been hard at work on the instrumental album, Puzzle Of Little Deaths; a three-part album, the first of which has been released on Bandcamp only, at this time. Well, the second-part of the album is now complete. The last two songs are in post production and will be released on Bandcamp along with the first part, very soon (Once all three parts are concluded, it will be sent to darkTunes for mass distribution and streaming). I will be starting work on the final part of the album right after I finish this:

Now that the second part of Puzzle of Little Deaths is complete, I will be turning my attention to a single I had intended to release a while ago, but got quite sidetracked. A song I had originally written for an event at a night club I dj at (BIG SHOUT TO BAR XIII in WILMINGTON, DELAWARE) needed some vocals reworked on the original mix. Oddly, the remix is ready to go. That sort of order never happens, to my knowledge, but it happened. Anyway, I will be getting to the vocal rework on a song titled, Dance of the Profane.

I have to admit, I’m a little concerned about the content of the song, as it hits kinda close to current events. The song is literally about dancing to the rhythm of the end of the world. It was created long before all the shit we see now ever went down.

Dance Of The Profane and Embrace The Entropy will both be on the next, full vocal album, which will receive my complete attention, once Puzzle is complete. I know a lot of people are looking forward to the next album. Just with these two songs, it is ramping up to be angrier and more volatile than Prelude, which was more akin to me saying howdy and introducing myself.

Stay safe, my friends. The world is kinda fucked right now, but that is what it takes to make things better, sometimes.

Much Love,

DJversion666

PS: You can find all of my music, including a couple of covers I cannot distribute through my label due to legal issues (And yes, I do have mechanical licenses for both covers, but mass distribution becomes messy, so I give them away for free exclusively, here) on my Bandcamp page:

Also, while you are at it, go visit darkTunes’ merchandise site and purchase stuff with my face on it. Let’s make it weird!

What Am I Up To?

Once again, here I am with a sporadic update of things going on in the world of DJversion666:

I will be djing at Bar XIII in Wilmington, DE on July 6th! I love this place! Once a month, I travel from the dirty Jersey shored to this amazing bar just 30 minutes south of Philadelphia; the first Thursday of each, to be exact. We’ve started doing themed events, within the past few months. The first was a Star Wars theme, thrown at us at the last minute, putting the creative part of the brain into a higher gear. Thankfully, Klayton of Celldweller and Circle Of Dust fame has done a tremendous job of paying electronic homage to the Star Wars franchise. Amazon had the single available for a few bucks, so it was a matter of downloading, listening, and, like any man with some alone-time, playing with it. I was ready. The most recent event was a Matrix theme. That was a great time! We picked several songs from the soundtrack and added that to our standard picks of EBM, Darkwave, and Industrial (with a pinch of EDM from Project Two, my usual partner in crime on the decks). This next event will be a Hackers theme (Hack The Planet, Mr. The Plague, etc); more great music from three, separate soundtracks! It’s sure to be a great time, once again. Project Two won’t be able to make it, this time, oddly, because of hackers (not the movie, but actual hackers. I can’t go into detail, because it’s not my place. …but, funny. 😀 ). DJ KillCrazy will be joining me, this time. Together, we are taking down the Gibson, baby!

In the music realm, I am crazy busy. I’ve decided to shelf the idea of putting a band together for the live project. I’ve started focusing on studio work, once again. I have recently finished recording my vocals on an Aim&Execute (a collaborative project of Exemia and Audiocentesis) song titled Messiah Of My Doubt. It was recently released on the Terror Night Vol. 3 Mechanized Occultism compilation cd! That was an amazing experience. It gave me the kick I needed to start working on my own music. Currently, I have four or five songs put into motion. A few of them may not make it, but that is the nature of the beats. I am looking forward to finishing these, and many more, in the upcoming year.

The original Embrace The Entropy was also recently released on the June 2017 Brutal Resonance release; a compilation that is now being released once a month! …FOR FREE!!! (pay what you will- be cool and throw ’em a few bucks. Trust me when I say, they appreciate it). That’s it- with the exception of instrumentals and remixes, every one of my songs has been on (in some form or fashion) a compilation cd! Achievement Unlocked!

DSBP Discogs, founded by Tommy T. Rapisardi of Diverje fame, is being especially awesome! A short while back, they started carrying physical copies of the Prelude cd in their online store! That’s right- you can order physical cds from them! Tommy, who also hosts Cyberage Radio plays various songs from the album in the regular rotation! A lot of people are hearing my work, especially out West! I can’t thank him enough for all the help he’s provided on this incredible journey.

That is true of everyone who has helped me, thus far. The list is becoming the length of my first letter to Santa Claus. My next, full album will have a huge Special Thanks section!

Until next post:

Much love!

Sincerely,

DJversion666

2017!

I want to apologize, first, for not updating this site as often as I should. With my work schedule, it’s difficult to sit down and actually catch you up with the latest goings on and what-not.

Tonight (January 5th, 2017), I will be spinning alongside Project Two at Bar XIII in Wilmington, DE. We’ll be pumping out the dark tunes for your stomping pleasure!

Also, tonight (at Midnight), darkTunes Music Group will be releasing my single, Embrace The Entropy, along with some seriously kick-ass remixes by Audiocentesis, Cutoff:Sky, Exemia, LaUD23, and Machines On Blast! This will be available through various distribution sites, such as iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play. I shall also have it available on Bandcamp, for those of you who prefer it.

Exemia and I just finished a remix for Totem Obscura (Acylum side project) which will be released via digital download AND physical media! I have to admit, I’m pretty damned excited about that!

Currently, I’m working on a remix for Machines On Blast, for the remix cd of the Tin Man Empire album!

Shortly after that, I will be working on another remix for Deophagy! They’re finishing up some tracks and putting together a remix kit, and then- it’s on!

After that, I will be getting back to work on the next DJversion666 album. I am hoping to have a full, decibel-packed album out and available by Halloween of this year. It’s not going to be easy, as my work schedule is crazy (bills won’t leave me alone, no matter how much I insist they give me a break), but I will make this happen!

I will be seeking to reform the live show, very soon. I miss being on the stage, screaming into a microphone. If you are a musician (especially if you live in Jersey, however, if you’re willing to travel we can work things out), and you’re interested in having some fun on stage, reach out to me at djversion666@thexfactory.com

That is all the news for now.

Stay tuned for more, as it happens.

Sincerely,

DJversion666

Smiles! Re: Celestial Stage, August 20th

We had an incredible time, last night, at QXT’s! They were wonderful hosts. I cannot wait to perform there, again (and again and again and, well, you get the idea).

I made a lot of new friends, that night. If you dig deep, you’ll find a picture of me playing the Pokemon Go game with a great group of people who drove an hour away to see our show (I swear, I’m playing it for my son. QXT’s is a Pokestop. I’m sure you understand). Shout out to Patty, Derek, and the rest of the crew! You guys are awesome!

It is an honor to have opened for Kosmic Daydream and GHyp:See & The Wichts! There is some great music coming from these bands! If you ever get a chance, definitely check them out. The Wichts’ bassist, Samuel Elijah James IV, is bangin’ it out on a six string with a tremolo- from one bassist to another, I salute you!

I cannot thank everybody enough for the awesome time we had!

Sincerely,

DJversion666

The first song has officially been recorded for the next album (title TBA)! I would like to thank Exemia (Fabian Morales) for his incredible post-production work, as well as the brilliant guitar tracks! I would also like to thank QXT’s in Newark (Especially DJ Victrola!) for all their support and love! I am truly honored to have my music played in such a well-known and wonderful nightclub!

Embrace The Entropy is currently only available for streaming. It will be available for download, shortly (courtesy of darkTunes Music Group).

Embrace The Entropy will also be found on an upcoming CIA Special Forces compilation CD!

Several radio stations already have their hands on this song and have promised to give it so airwave love!

Currently, there are several incredible artists working on remixes of this song. I am really looking forward to hearing their work!
