Progress on the recording has slowed slightly – between the Thanksgiving holiday and a bunch of recent housecleaning, I haven’t had a ton of time for recording. Worry not, because I do not intend this to become the noise-cassette equivalent of Chinese Democracy. Seriously. I think the next thing to do is fix my MG-1 (remember, repairs count as DIY in the rules I set for myself) and then go all John Carpenter on this thing – I was just listening to some of the music from Assault on Precinct 13, and was kind of inspired.
That said, now onto something else. I’m a fan of Belgian New Beat. For whatever reason, I was poking around Wikipedia and reading about Ghent and Destelbergen – kind of the historical birthplace of the genre. I then noticed a “parish within the municipality” of Ghent called Desteldonk.
Destel-What?
Time for a contest: First person to take some New Beat (something old-school, something recent, something you made that sounds right – I’m not that picky), put a bangin’ donk on it, and post a link to it in the comments here gets a free copy of the recording once it comes out. This should help. Need source material? This seems appropriate, and has ‘no restrictions’, so remixing seems to be go!
