2021.

Hello Tumblr beings, 

I contemplated on how i should start off writing the summary of my 2021, because there was so much that went on through in the year, and i don’t even know where to begin which kinda explains why it took me a mth before coming out with this conclusion.

All in all, 2021 was full of challenges and i kinda achieve quite a few things within the year. I purchased my first Branded bag in life, kinda felt like tearing up when i was swiping my card LOL, i think it was because i couldn’t believed it that i finally clearing one of my wishlist, after struggling financially so many years. I got my driving license too after failing for the 5th time, on 20th May 2021, Purchased my First Car after a mth of getting my license too. Also, Koze team grew from just me and Yang to a team of 10 people in a year, Lastly, Finally renovated the house for my parents after talking about it for so many years.

Overall, i think it was a pretty good year in terms of achievement but it came with lots of new and harder challenges to faced, Jobsite problems, managing people, How to balance off between running my own projects while trying to guide newbies in the job and settling their problem. How to manage my temper and patience without flaring up at them so easily. It was super tiring and emotionally draining tbh, cause no matter how fucked up i felt i couldn’t break down so easily in front of people anymore.

We have our highs, when business was doing good and i was taking a 5 digit figure salary a mth given by my age which is rare. Then by the end of the year we had major cash flow issue its like we are going back to ground zero all over again and got to restart our system, Just that this time it was so much more at stake because i need to answer to my employees. I knew we will get over this crisis sooner or later as long as we persevere through it but its just really sickening just the thought that we went back to zero again. i guess its really a huge lesson learnt for me on how to handle money in future.

Emotionally/Mentally, i wasn’t feeling so good this few mths and after reading through the passed few years summary it seems like im always like this by the year end. Maybe it was because i was working so hard the whole year hence whenever it gets to the year end period i get burned out and restless.I just didnt have the motivation to work or much less to do anything. Taking this as my chance to rest before the madness starts again aft cny. 

Although given with the achievement that i have built for myself the whole year, this was also the year that i question if im able to do this for life, or more like can i really stay in koze forever? Im really having second thoughts abt this. It was my 3 years mark with Koze and 5th year mark for being a interior designer, since 21, I have had at least 330 days in the year where im only getting 5hours of sleep a day, working 7days a week, i honestly dk how long more can i pull this through. 

In 2022, I just hope i’m able to kick start my dried flower business, its smth that im pretty confident right now, If this thing goes well, it will be my ticket to start afresh again and kickstart again. Its also my back up plan if i dont work out with Yang anymore or if one day he decides to kick me out of koze lol. As much as i cant bear to let go of a business that i built 80% with my own hands, i know i cant force to stay if it isn't meant to be anymore too. 

2022, My ultimate goal is : 

1) Be more firm on my decision and character so that i dont get stepped over again.

2) Be less emotionally attached to my employees, stop sharing so much of my personal thinking to them.

3) Earn and save up at least 80k in my bank

4) Kickstart my Dried flower business with Zo.

5) Lose at least 15kg, cause im seriously at the fat-est stage in my life.

Please be good this year.

MUSIC NEWS: CHANCE THE RAPPER ALMOST COMPLETES ‘ROSKILDE FESTIVAL 2019’ LINE UP

Roskilde Festival adds another wave of acts to the 2019 line up today, including Chance The Rapper. The influential rapper will play the Danish festival’s main stage. A handful of acts has been added, including indie darling, Sharon van Etten, and rap phenomenon, Lizzo. The not-for-profit festival has also announced the full profit of last year’s festival – €2,572,989 – that has been donated to charity in full. Most of the line-up for Roskilde Festival 2019 has already been announced with artists such as Bob Dylan, Cardi B, The Cure, Robyn, Vampire Weekend, Rosalía, Skepta and Janelle Monáe ready to play Northern Europe’s largest festival. With a few more available spots left, some of the last acts have now been revealed. Chance The Rapper is one of the most influential rappers of our time. He has won several Grammys, and everyone from Cardi B to James Blake wants to work with him. Back in 2016, Chance The Rapper released what critics called the game-changing mixtape, Coloring Book. It was the first streaming-only album to win not just one but three Grammys: Best New Rapper, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance. Conscious of his surroundings, Chance The Rapper, 25, is both politically and socially engaged, from the fight against gun violence to donating $1 million to public schools in his native Chicago. He is now readying his long-awaited new album, expected to be released this very summer.

Matthew Herbert - It's Only (DJ Koze Remix)

[unicodes-blog]

Download DJ Koze - Let's Love / I Want To Sleep EP (2008)

"DJ Koze gets to be as weird as he wants. As a solo artist, he might have made his first mark with the solemn chimes of “Brutalga Square” but it’s been a long journey from there. Like his work with International Pony, Koze flourishes when he’s been willfully playful. Witness the demented remix of Atlas’ “Battles,” the Joe Meek-worthy vocal tweaks of “Smornin” and the chipmunk choir of his remix of Matthew Dear’s “Elementary Lovers.” 2008 has been a banner year for bizarro-Koze – the shimmer-funk remake of Matias Aguayo’s “Minimal” to the messy-dystopia mashed from Sascha Funke’s “Mango.” Then there’s “Zouzou” on Total 9, which might be first worthy follow-up to Matt John’s “Soulkaramba” and a track so perverse it led hyperbole-resistant Hardwax to describe the annual compilation as “Euro dance pop and one exceptional track by DJ Koze.”

Koze usually releases one lone single a year, which is often obscured by the heft and weight of his remix work. “Let’s Love” takes the same model as last year’s excellent “All the Time” –- a solid front-side that sets up the bombshell on the flip. “Let’s Love” might squeak and croon “you come into my heart” as a friendly introduction, but the sighs of sun-burned synths and Doppler chimes make for a nice evocation of late summer nights. The track is subtle, timbres from every sound slide around and swirl out of the ether. And it doesn’t prepare you for “I Want to Sleep,” which, slowed to a throb, follows down the rabbit-hole house revival. But there’s no sunny vibes or tasteful chord stabs for “I Want to Sleep,” instead finding a groove that compresses the low-end like a trampoline –- at first bounce it’s a little uneasy but quickly becomes mesmerizing. As grasshoppers and frogs set up the humid scene, a women talks, inhales, enunciating every phrase. The tone of her voice is sensual, words race forward only to end lackadaisically, tiptoeing around the groove. Given the foreign language, it’s impossible to understand most of what she says, but the unfamiliar speech leaves you lulled by the grain and texture of her voice. And when she finally says “I want to sleep,” which might be the weirdest coup of the track, it hits like a slingshot." - Little White Earbuds
