This is from my Facebook post 1 night after the Steve Aoki show
in Chicago...
There are moments in time that become etched into the fabrics in our minds. They feed us substance with the sharing of our souls. They change our perception of society and give us light. VLIVE in Chicago was an oasis of Electricity. Just imagine contained energy pulsing through images and sounds that at any moment will start a revolution. Faces and eyes were lost. You can see the lack of confidence and uncertainty in Generation Undefined. This was a different party. They were drones trying to find their way back towards humanity. Tonight one leader rained down light and enlightenment to help restore the kid's confidence. This was no longer about reviewing a club or concert. This became a personal struggle for every individual to remove all their insecurities and LEAD in the fight. The war on traditional thinking will spark change. This is my story. This is my struggle. The night before the show I continued to battle with life. The hints of depression were multiplying with the evils and monsters that are trying to keep me from being heard. My days are drawing to an end. I want to bale on everything. Fate stepped in and reminded me this is who I am and what I do. I walk in with a sense of urgency but I feel confident again. I am happy that the elements of my music are still alive. They have been injected with beams of light that can take me there without popping a pill. I have a connection with music that is so strong that I know how to produce a feeling of euphoria from feeling the music. My glasses were instantly zapped off my face. I needed to see my dream come to life from every angle tonight. Steve Aoki is a leader in the Digital Revolution. I was in the back of the club centered for war. When tiny ticks of Warp drizzled down on us everything changed. I was finally starting to relax but still felt intense. This wasn't the music on radio. Every fan in the Electro-House knew it wasn't easy dismantling our play-lists. I sacrificed relationships because I believed in the music more than tired words. This shit is personal and best believe it is deep. I became the 8R8 for moments like this. I wanted to get as close to the stage as possible. I lost control. The music and lights took over my body. I questioned myself every step of the way. I felt like I was in line at heaven. Steve Aoki was my musical god. I had questions that I needed answered. He answered them all. There was no sense of time in this world. I kept getting closer and closer. It was a bath of champagne, sweat, and raw emotion. This is love. Closer and closer I made it to the stage. No judgments because I felt this group. We understood each other. The permanent smile on my face made me sing when Generation Undefined spit word for word not the song but the remix like it was the alphabet of Pursuit of Happiness. My Green Lantern ring ended up on stage. There was part of me that wanted to give it away because a kid next to me gave it respect. I think this was the universe communicating a real message to my heart. I never saw anyone pick the ring up. Aoki was the only one stage. One flash of light and it vanished. I was happy. This was a special night. Steve Aoki pulled out all the tricks tonight. We are growing in numbers. Sometime very soon you will be joining us. The moment isn't lost. I hope you can see it all through my eyes and help me. Live the Music with a Universal Appeal to Define a Generation through Visual Style and Sound. LOVE.
