Nick NyQuil Presents "Big Dipper"

It was a night like many other…. I'd served my time at the job I sell my soul at for an hourly wage…and I was finding ignorant bliss by the blue glow of a television set. I shut off the tv and began to turn on the no control album from bad religion and chief one…you know… one of those regular days where you're all pissed off for no good reason… when I felt my phone begin to vibrate! Anticipating it was a female whom I had not yet disregarded (hey I give it time!) I picked up, and was hugely let down to hear the sound of my good homeboy (I love you guys but you motherfuckers don't excite me!). He spoke of a soiree of very little prestige transpiring. I believe his exact sentiments were something to the accord of "hey motherfucker, let's go to this rager, don't be a faggot." My friends got mad respect for me, by the way. *sigh*

Now as much as I wanted to fire up that hog leg and daydream of skateboarding in a swimming pool to the sounds of "I wanna conquer the world", I sure was bored. The kind of bored that makes you wanna kill a 30 pack and meet some broads. I told him to swing through and put on my chucks and before I knew it I could hear the muffled sounds of easy e rolling up, rattling the license plate of a his shiesty mazda protege like a woodpecker on codeine syrup. We hit the liquor store and grabbed a huge box of coors light and hit the highway. 8 road sodas, 3 stories about chicks we made out with who are now married to other friends, and an hour and a half later we arrived up this country-ass dirt road that had to be the one john denver sang about. we were at our destination.

The full moon frosted the tips of every tree in vicinity of bumfuck egypt, quietly nestled somewhere in the sierra nevadas, and we made our way down a hill to the jump off. When we hit the spot, I noticed that the bass was rattling the needles off the western yellow pine trees like tiny syringes in one of keith richard's wildest fantasies when immediately I saw her. I didn't know it yet, but she was the medusa who was going to turn my night into an oddessey. She had dark hair that reflected the moonlight, and the most beautiful eyes, although I could not tell the color because they were entirely composed of pupil. Looking into her eyes was like peering into the ears of mickey mouse. She spoke happily but it was entirely through clinched teeth like she was furious. It was epic.

After about 10 minutes of banter about liking this music, and wanting to visit australia one day, the girl asks me to do her a favor. . . . Strangely, I said "sure…?"……. what she said then changed my night foreverrrrrr. . . ."Put your finger in this bag and then lick it….."…


Instantaneously I was overwhelmed by the taste of what seemed to be the dip from who framed roger rabbit. I winced, and then before I knew it I was thinking about going to australia and how I really like people who I typically hate, and I realized I was in over my head. My jaw swung like a ferris wheel and I was feeling like a werewolf under the full moon, so naturally I was inclined to take as many silver bullets to the face as possible. Terrified, I began pondering my entire life, and wondering what was wrong with the world, all at the same time… I began having sympathy for issues which I'd taken a stand against… and I began to miss people whom I'd completely written off…My hands and face beaded with sweat….what was going on here?

This continued for hours, and against the backdrop of the trees and the silver moon, ravenously, I kept tearing through beer after beer until I blinked and felt an intense heat on my face…. before I opened my eyes, I thought it was my face melting off, which would have been no surprise…. but alas….it was the red hot dashboard of the mazda protege in which I rode in….I had somehow fallen asleep on the brown vinyl surface on which my own sweat and dried up saliva glistened in my eye to greet the brand new day. I was home….but what happened last night??? Was it all a dream?? I felt like a new person, and although I felt like complete garbage, I was so happy to be alive.

I looked in my pocket when I got home…and all I found in my jacket was a rubber hair tie, and this cd entitled "big dipper" which I've uploaded for your listening pleasure. This music will forever remind me of the nights I spent with my teeth chattering and my internal temperature fluxing, and I hope some of you enjoy it <3 cheers.

"Once More Again"

"Once More Again..."

I am an addict. I have a hugely addictive personality. I do the damn thing. I play the game. When something strikes me, I fall into it head over heels. I am not talking about drugs or alcohol necessarily, but anything that gives me a rush. There's something about my heart skipping a beat that I can't get enough of. The thrill of the drop on a rollercoaster... The way she draws back after we kiss, that loss of breath like the carbonation from a soda getting to you, and the way one scent of her perfume can make your heart race like that bad cocaine you can only get out on the road (I never said I was a saint!).... The feeling of that third whiskey and water, the one that makes you personable enough to make friends at the bar with an old cowboy... The way I feel when an empty room packs up and goes nuts to the music I'm playing over the soundsystem. All those are relative things to me, and it's all these things, within the moment, that you never take the time to appreciate. All of these rushes that you just forego thinking too far into, and ride them on out until the feeling is gone, and then what? The prospect of these things fleeing forever really scares me. All of these addictions in my life compel me to obsessively analyze and maintain every aspect to be on an equal playing field of emotional security, and it takes its toll on me mentally. Addiction soaks up my blood like garlic toast sharing a plate with a rare steak, and now it's time to take a bite and get my strength back. I now know that nothing in this life is permanent, nothing is a guarantee (including tomorrow), and that I need to appreciate each and every time my blood rushes and my heart races, because one day it's all gonna be gone, and none of this will matter. This mix is about music that speaks to me on a deeper level than raging hard and partying, which in previous mixes, I've conveyed to the fullest. In the past, I have done my best work immediately following tragedy or heartbreak, and used it as a positive rebound. Why is it that a person usually does their best work when they're feeling the lowest? I'm definitely over that mindset, and this is me paying tribute to the good things while the gettin's good, son. This is music that speaks to me from the heart, and makes me feel the rush of having a soul and being alive. This mix is dedicated to all the good and beautiful things around me in my life, and this is my way of my way of making my ears feel good like the things I'm addicted to, make my spirit feel. This mix is full of melodies and sounds that make me think about how much I really love life and the way I feel on those days where I've got nothing but time to sit in the blowing grass and enjoy the wind in my hair and enjoy the company the people around me, because these good times are few and far between. I'm not Jim Croce, but if I could put time in a bottle, I would bottle all of those high times up and drink a six pack with you on on a warm spring day and reminisce on the days gone by that shaped us all. I swear, we could watch the sunset and I wouldn't even smash the bottles at the end..... This is the closest I can get to that so I hope you can turn it on and take a sip....This mix is about appreciating those good things around me, and appreciating the people I love while I am here on this earth. This is also the first mix that I recorded by myself, on a warm sunny day with nothing but love in my heart and a smile on my face. My gift to you. Pour me another one for the road, get ready for the drop, hold on tight, and give me one last kiss, because I just want to feel that rush, that loss of breath... I wanna feel my heart skip a beat just Once More Again.....



I would also like to dedicate this mix to the memory of our beloved friend Arnie Benson who passed away the day after I recorded it. The world is such a better place for having people like Arnie grace its presence, if only temporarily, and he will be greatly missed. I will always cherish the times we had with such a good guy on our side helping out. I hope you're keeping the line in order at the pearly gates! Sneak me in the back entrance if I'm not on the guestlist, please. :) Rest in peace, brother. Seeya when I get there.

"Baby, I like it raw!"

Baby, I like it raw...

Originally, after I put out my last cd "bangarang!", I wanted to take it easy and put out something full of melodies and harps and birds chirping and all of that square shit that makes people settle down and easy to beat up. I had it all planned out, and I still am down with that serene type of peaceful feeling that manifests on the lips and hearts of mermaids and all of that soulful shit, but lately I just ain't feelin' that way (if you get my drift.) I aint a bad motherfucker, I aint stupid either, and I don't know why shit's been so unrelentless but through no fault of my own (aka "my fault" in criminal speak), Ive been in dive bars, cop cars, courthouses, and on top of that, going through a breakup and rocky shit with my job and shit's just apexed and manifested into this world of warcraft account to which many would surely cancel (but I'm hangin in there;)) Lately I don't feel like listening to melodies, I feel like doin' dirt. Lately I don't feel like doing anything but being myself and being wild and I've been through many of these periods where I just have to keep my head down until I'm out of the woods, I can smile freely, and I don't owe anymore money to the motherfucking government. I get through these periods by just being around people I love and having fun, and alot of stress is released from getting out and mixing at shows because I feel like I absorb positive energy through seeing people have fun... which leads me here.... ! Right here to your ears. This is what it sounds like when my week goes south. This is what it sounds like on Saturday, when I lose in court monday and lose my job on friday. I don't wanna fuckin' think about melodies, I wanna slap some bass heavy shit that's gonna make chicks climb on speakers and ask me to help them up onto the subs. I don't wanna think about real life, I wanna watch motherfuckers lose it. I just wanna have a good time right the fuck now, because come sunrise, I'm gonna get a whole dose of reality. This mix is a raw, one taker in which I fuck up PLENTY, but it captures a little bit of the hostility I have been feeling, that I no longer have once this last track hits. Baby, I like it raw. and I'm giving you this mix in the raw, 21 tracks, just over 51 minutes of glamorous bass heavy/ grape soda drinkin/ 8 ball makin my breath stank- type house/breaks/dubstep/drum and bass/ hip hop that make me wanna fuckin party. It's raw, the tempo switches, and you can point out to your friends all of the fuckups that make you wonder why your girlfriend has my cd in that same shoebox that she hides love letters in. Thanks you all for giving me an outlet for my words and the music I play, and much thanks and respect to Ratchet for recording this and helping me master it in a day.

Orbital tonight!!!

I am so juiced. When I heard the recording of their "last show" in front of their friends and family, I thought Id missed my chance forever. Orbital pretty much was the quintessential group that got me into electronic music, and theyre playing tonight at the warfield.

Anyone else going?! Im way stoked

BANG-A-RANG!!!!!!

Hello, folks! A couple of years have passed since I've had the pleasure of partaking in this ritual....A couple years older, and a couple years more weathered, I assure you that I am still quite alive and kicking. The past couple years have been a hell of a ride for this once young Indian from outer space.... At times I have been soaring in the glass elevator, busting out the roof of the wonka factory in sheer ecstacy.... And at others I've been waking up wondering what the strange taste in my mouth is (wild turkey, no homo), and how the hell I got there with a fur coat and a wife beater on. Funny how life works out sometimes. In my absence from the studio, I've suffered no shortage of long nights out, too much time driving to too many places ( I can tell you where to get a burrito from here to the rockies), illegal fireworks, fistfights, and absolute heartbreaks. Naturally, becoming lethargic was the only possible solution! But much like in a sensory deprivation chamber, absolute nothing often brings absolute vision. One day on the street, I had the most piercing, knife twisting, life ruining headache after dealing with such a bunk day and I decided "you know what the only thing that will make me happy is???" By going out and and raging hard and going absolutely going mental! And that's what I did! I went out and had the absolute wildest times of my fucking life, and guess what?! You bet your ass I was 100 percent again! This mix is dedicated to going out and absolutely fucking wyling out and having the time of your life. Straight up, chirpin' out, twirling your shirt like a helicopter, breaking glass, spilling beer and thinking "DAMN that girl's titties are CRACKIN'!" This is about shaking the disease, releasing the demons, and cutting loose. Ultimately that can lead you to a conscious evolution, if not the afterlife. This is for all my friends and all the nights we've spent drinking, fucking, and fighting, and all those lost souls like us who just wanna get through tonight as happily as we possibly can. This is for the ninja turtles doing shellspins on the hood of yo car. Cowabunga mayne. This is for the poets on payday. Swing from the rafters, rip out a tree and shake it over your head like a sand raider. Whatever it is, get your grind on, scuff your shoes to this and wake up and do it again until monday. BAAAANGARAAAAANG! If you don't like beer spilled on you, then stay the fuck away from me tonight. Ultimate cheers!
