Årets kommentar!

Tack för den. Självklart hur kul som helst att känna sig saknad i DJ-båset Var aldrig meningen att lämna Platå men jag antar att mina ambitioner var för höga. Jag vill mer än så och hade inte detta hänt hade jag kanske stått på Platå resten av livet, typ

Jag trodde att jag skulle spela mycket mindre men jag hade fel. Det var som en helt ny värld öppnades och nya utmaningar och möjligheter dök upp. Som ni kan se till höger så är schemat fullspäckat ändå.

Nästa stop: ILH på fredag, Nationernas Hus.

Nedräkningen börjar NU!

Jag vet att det är ett jävla tjat om kommande ‘I Love House’ fest. Men är det så konstigt? Tänk er att göra något som ni bara brinner för. Jag brinner för musik, jag brinner för house. Jag brinner för att spela min musik inför fulla dansgolv!

Varför det är mer tjat än tidigare är för att det var ett tag sedan vi körde I Love House och det är snart en månad sedan jag gjorde min senaste spelning i min egen hemstad. Som de flesta vet så spelar jag inte längre på Platå och därför ska det bli roligt att träffa allt lokalt folk igen och bara rocka loss!

En sak kan jag lova, blir denna fest bra så kommer vi bjuda igen till nästa event som vi kör. I Love House är idag Linköpings enda riktiga houseklubb och det är dags att ta det till nästa nivå. Vi har i Linköpingsområdet två relativt stora skivbolag som sysslar med house, det är mitt och Kristoffers Nellie Recordings och Patrik Remanns PR Records, det är egentligen en skam att vi inte tidigare styrt upp större fester tidigare.

Idag är det 6 dagar kvar till I Love House på Nationernas Hus. Det är nu det är dags att ge Linköping nya upplevelser i musikväg och det är nu som vi behöver ert stöd.

Förköpen finns på SOLO i Filbyter Gallerian och kostar 80 kr styck. Pluggar man på LiU så behöver man inte förköp utan man betalar direkt i entrén. Är du inte student MÅSTE du ha förköp för att komma in.

Vi ses på fredag!

Thank you Platå – The official statement

In the last couple of days, there were some comments and questions from local people here in Linköping, stuff that I never approved here on my blog. All this concerns the fact that I won’t be deejaying at Platå anymore. People are asking me why this is happening and what the real story is behind all of this…

Well, it is actually a bit complicated. I’ve been a resident DJ at Platå for 2 years. I’m sure that I did over 150 gigs in these 2 years and playing together with names like Tristan Garner, Sandro Monte, AN21 & Sebjak, Matt Joko & Michael Feiner, Alex Lewerentz and many more…

To be honest, I think that I’ve never experienced a better vibe than on Platå’s dancefloor, it’s so amazing. And what I love the most is that you really come close to the people and it’s like you’re a part of the dancefloor. They say all good things comes to an end and I felt that I reached as far as I could at Platå, there was nothing more for me to give, and wasn’t learning anything new, it was all the same, every thursday and every saturday. So since the beginning of 2010, I was asking myself…

Is this what I really want to do? What else is there?

Well, nothing… I couldn’t imagine myself deejaying anywhere else in this city. Then a friend of mine, Zutko, , also a DJ asked me to check out a Place called Nationernas Hus, a club mostly for students. We went there and decided to have a meeting with them and then agreed to run the next I Love House event there.

So with this upcoming I Love House party, we are doing what we’ve always wanted to do. We’re running our own event, our own night and it’s all about house music and sharing it with friends and all the other people that will attend this event. I have really high expectations and I think it will be sold out.

This I Love House party isn’t accepted by everyone and especially not the owner of Platå. So simply he didn’t want me to stay at Platå. I can understand that, but still, I’m only a DJ and I have high ambitions and goals, I don’t wanna be stuck at Platå for the rest of my life. I wish that he’d understand this… well honestly, I don’t care if he understands or not. From now on, I’ll be doing my own thing and I’m gonna be doing a damn good job!

My next gig in Linköping will be I Love House @ Nationernas Hus, 12:th mars 2010 (presales are available at Solo – Filbyter Gallerian), see you there!

Time flies…

I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again. It’s amazing how time flies… Two week ago I was in Stockholm with my friends at TopDJ Records, last saturday I was with Andrew Dee in Kristianstad and now back in Linköping for last nights gig.

I had an amazing time at Platå tonight. I used to be there deejaying almost every saturday, but now it’s not that often anymore, so I really enjoyed it and I was happy to see so much familiar faces and so much friends that I had not seen in a long time.

While I’m here updating the blog, I wanna let you know that I’m currently producing a vocal track that will be presented at Miami WMC, unfortunately I’m not gonna be there myself, but all my boys att TopDJ Records will be there and my track will still be promoted. The instrumental version is produced and I’m now waiting for the vocals to be written and recorded.

About WMC, it’s a shame that no one will be there representing Nellie Recordings… but I really hope to be there next year instead.

Good night,
Alaa

Your Friend


Gregor Salto feat Chappell -- Your Friend (Hardwell Remix)

Tonight I’ll be back at Platå here in Linköping, feels good to spin in my hometown again after being away for 2 weeks. I love to sleep in my own bed after a gig, no hotels and no sofas (although Spectre’s sofa was pretty nice) haha

Always nice to try some new tunes out. New to my collection this week is Gregor Salto feat Chappell -- Your Friend (Hardwell Remix), I really like the sound of it, but the vocals wasn’t that good imo.

Black or Laktos?

It’s friday morning, almost. Just came home from my gig at Platå. I had an awsome night! Gotta love those exchange students French, Spanish, some Italians… they are crazy! In a good way… they’re really enjoying themselfs on the dancefloor, dancing their asses off!

Highlight of last night was without doubt, Alex Sayz -- Hate To Love (Alex Lamb Remix), it’s HUUUGE! Also, Black or Laktos (F. Hereno & Da:Herbst Tribute Edit) made great impact on the dancefloor as always. Let’s not forget RHCP -- Otherside (Dani L. Mebius Bootleg), it’s fantastic!

Time to get some sleep, see you tomorrow!

Ghettoblaster


Afrojack & Bobby Burns -- Ghettoblaster (Original Full Mix)

Time to get prepared for another night at Platå. I think it will be awsome tonight! I heard the place was packed last thursday and that the exchange students were back and qued up before the clock turned 22.00 (free entry before 22.00)!

How you like Ghettoblaster? I think Afrojack’s really is on fire here! Will try this one tonight
