just got back from brazil

working on new bonde stuff in rio and later got to hang with miami people in ipanema.

gorkys modified SK1. it has LFO's and makes monster sound.

leandro and crew took us all into a favela party for inspiration. for obvious reasons i did not take any pictures. when we got there the first thing i saw was a basketball sized arena packed with people in the middle dancing with machine guns in the air. along the length of the arena was a wall of speakers, about 60 feet long and 18 feet high. everything was rattling and the bass was bold. then the music stopped and everyone scattered to the outside soundsystem, that was a bit smaller with all the speaker grills painted up. they also had fireworks, trannys and hotdogs covered in corn. every 20 minutes or so the soundsystems would alternate. the djs were using mpc's loaded with gunshots and frog ribbits. to the right of all this was a football field closed off by more machine gun guys. it was impressive, i feared for my life, and if i was white i would not go there.

power box ups are common, and stay up cause there is no buff

laura, mrs gorky, anna

out and about we spotted this big volleyball star, people started lining up to get photos with him

the brazilians swear by their local beers Skol and Brahma. these beers are the worst! while you're out there you're only hope is a cold Antarctica.

at the studio i got a sneak preview of the unfinished movie, its gonna be huge.
