I am dedicating this track to my longtime neighbor and close friend –my brother– Pom Pom Pizzy. He has just lost one of his very best friends who passed away suddenly on November 29, 2009 — just few short days ago.
Pizzy, my brother, I’m dedicating this track to you. I can just imagine how you’re feeling and what you’re going through right now. Losing your best friend H-Breezy, whom you’ve known and loved all your life, is a very terrible loss. I can only bet you’re still in shock about it all. Use all the time you need, as time is always available in abundance to bereave the loss of your very best friend. But keep going through those great/happy memories between you and H-Breezy. Think about all the times you two did things together: joking back and forth and laughing out loud in the car, or on the couch; going on trips to so many different places; partying together with the rest of the lads; going on long drives, talking and listening to music; confiding and seeking advice; being each other’s armor-bearer for support; watching each other’s backs; and telling each other “goodnights” and looking forward to “good mornings” on every last-nights and tomorrows. Always remember, you’ll always have a homebase to come back to.
Keep it together and be strong brother!

While the norm for most tracks go anywhere between 3:30 to 6:00 minutes in length, I prefer 15:00 minutes or longer, like the four seasons. Give me 4 long tracks to fill the hour, and I’ll be one very happy Iraqi. I love tracks that take me on long journeys through various movements. One of my all-time favorite synth-pop groups is PROPAGANDA from germany … who sound like twisted ABBA + Industrial + TechnoPop + Darkness. My favorite Proganda track is P:Machinery. I’ve taken two 12-inch vinyl versions of that track and conjoined them together as one … the way I want to listen to P:Machinery by:

Although he produced only a handful of tracks of renown and disappeared into obscurity almost as quickly as he had emerged from it, Manny ( Man ) Parrish is nonetheless one of the most important and influential figures in American electronic dance music. Helping to lay the foundation of electro, hip-hop, freestyle, and techno, as well as the dozens of subgenres to splinter off from those, Parrish introduced the aesthetic of European electronic pop to the American club scene by combining the plugged-in disco-funk of Giorgio Moroder and the man-machine music of Kraftwerk with the beefed-up rhythms and cut’n'mix approach of nascent hip-hop. As a result, tracks like “Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don’t Stop)” and “Boogie Down Bronx” were period-defining works that provided the basic genetic material for everyone from Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys to Autechre and Andrea Parker — and they remain undisputed classics of early hip-hop and electro to this day.

What made Trevor Horn’s productions stand out was his unique and genius production techniques and the heavy use of state-of-the-art pro-audio gear, which made him become the torch-bearer for the kind of technology-led pop music which was hip and incredibly disciplined. Trevor Horn’s 12-inch remixes were uniquely long (anywhere from 8 to 13 minutes in duration) and told stories which took the listeners through long instrumental journeys at the begenning of tracks until the climax is reached (around the 5/6 or 7 minute mark). After the climax, the original or alternate full vocal version of the track takes over from that point on to the end, lasting additional 3.5 to 5 minutes in length.
