"Guitar" Digital Single Release & Online Release Party Post-Poned

Due to the changes at "BandCamp" over the last 2 days 
we had a tough time uploading our new tracks. Each 
time we uploaded the song; it would not read right?
We are updating our accounts and double checking 
our numbers and moving the event, we hope
everyone can make it back tomorrow night 
at the same time and place.

Thank you

HELPLESS 2 HELP!

It makes me truly sad knowing that and seeing someone I love with all of my Heart continually run down a path of destruction to their own mental & emotional health. No matter how much I try to help from what I've learned from my own experiences and out of love, no matter how many times I give my shoulder to lean and cry on, no matter what I say it's ALWAYS wrong, and no matter what I do it's NEVER good enough. My Heart tears when they refuse to learn from their own mistakes and when they refuse to change the parts of their own personality and thinking that is their own Worst Enemy. It makes me sick to have to watch this happen because a few ASSHOLES from the past abused them SO BAD, hurt them SO HARSH, n Forced them to become someone that they were COMPLETELY NOT so that now they're thinking tells them that if they change ANY part or piece of themselves then that would equal them going out of their way to change for somebody else and after the past they made a Promise to their self that they won't EVER change a Damn thing about themselves for ANYONE, EVER again until th day that they Die. I see all this and am helpless to help. I'm Powerless to help somebody who doesn't want to be helped. Inside my soul I bleed tears for this Special Person. :(

Ninja Jamm App for IOS

The Ninja Jamm app for IOS (no Android yet... Soon we're hoping) is officially out now. It's free to DL in the app store and is INSANELY addicting. The app (developed by Ninja Tune Co-founders Coldcut) allows you to create your own remixes of tracks contributed by some of Ninja Tunes staple artists Bonobo, Amon Tobin, Coldcut, Mr. Scruff, DJ Food, FaltyDLand more.

I'm Now Promoting for Ninja Tune

Recently I decided to join Ninja Tune and help out with their promotions. If you don't know who they are...Google them or something. LOL!

My New Album "Retrospective" is Bout to Drop! Here's the Cover!!!

My upcoming album "Retrospective" is going to drop just around the corner on MJC Management Inc. My Girl, Nicole A Carrillo is AWESOME and created the cover art for it and it looks frickin' AMAZING!!! :) Some info about this album for you:"Retrospective" is actually a collection of my favorite beats that I made roughly between late 2007 and early 2009. Even with at least 1 brand new project in the works and due out later this year, I had to share this collection with you guys. It's just too damn cool! :) Stay Tuned! Peace, Define

Big Announcement

Stay Tuned for a Big Announcement coming This Week :)

Hope

When u feel like there's no one to turn to? When you feel like the one u could turn to had now turned on u? When everything u do is for someone, but they act like you're not worthy enough to do a damn thing for them. When your whole world feels like it's turning upside down. When you have a feeling in your gut that you're going to get seriously fucked over. When your lied to. When your looked at from atop of their eagle's nest. When you're made to feel like your best is absolutely revolting and disgusting. When you are talked to like a child. When you feel your dignity slipping. When you let your self-respect get stomped on right in front of your eyes. When you have worked SO GODDAMN HARD to get where you are at n keep screaming, n Screaming, n SCREAMING!!! to try and shake you off your feet, but that doesn't work so now they pull, n Pull, n PULL, n push, n Push, n PUSH! All the while sticking pins n needles in u to see what it will take to break u. I feel myself slipping. I feel my old desires calling in times like this when I feel so fuckin degraded that its a wonder Im still here alive n believing, NEVER letting go. I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T LET GO! I CAN'T GIVE IN. I've searched ALL my life so I just CAN'T! So I hope cuz HOPE is all I can do. That n continue to be flexible, but my flexibility has stretched so far that sometimes I swear that I m bout to snap into a million little pieces. Its all Sad! But I have HOPE , even if HOPE doesn't have me

Define's FB Music Page

So I just published my Artist/Band FB page. Call me behind the times, but I'm from the days of MySpace and we hated FB for it's difficulties it presented for us artsy and noise-makin folk. Taking a hiatus definitely presents you with a reality check in technology and social network technology, I can say that much. Some of you know me, some of you don't, some of you may think I'm new, and some of you have even taken me for granted in the past. Well I guess we all live and learn. Anyways....I'm back! I've been back, slowly worming my way back into the system and happenings for awhile now.

As this page is new and I am going to try and publish something every day on it, I also have to do the same for my other online pages, in addition to producing new music. Add it everyday life and relationships and family and all that good stuff and yeah so don't get mad if I miss a day here or there. I appreciate the understanding. Maybe hopefully one day soon enough I can actually develop a following that will actually care enough about what I just said. LOL!

So here's my new FB page address: http://www.facebook.com/definesmusicpage

You can check out 1 or more of the 6 beats I uploaded to the legendary MySpace last night at the following address as well if you are interested: http://www.myspace.com/definetheartist

The beats I uploaded onto there are NOT new however, just an FYI. They are from 2007-2008.

You can find me also on my regular FB page at: http://www.facebook.com/erickdefine

Thanks for reading and stay safe if you're being affected by this crazy-ass winter snow storm.

Peace,

REGRETS

Random Thoughts #1

What do you do when you feel like you're not good enough, once again?

What do you do when you feel unappreciated, once again?

What do you do when you love someone, but it doesn't feel like they love you back on the same level anymore, once again?

What do you do when you've been lied to, once again?

What do you do when someone disrespects you on a regular basis, once again?

What do you do when someone makes you feel SO small with just words n the looks that they give you, once again?

What do you do when someone won't tell you what's REALLY goin on, once again?

What do you do when you're SO MUCH like another person that you drive each other nuts, once again?

These are just some questions that have been floating through the inner n frontal regions of my mind n I just wanted to write them out, thinkin maybe it'll help. IDK, but it didn't hurt to do so. Surprisingly, in an odd way it felt sort of good. :)

This Blog is Going to be Up and Running NOW!!! :)

What's up to anyone who is reading this. I haven't worked or posted anything on this blog in quite some time due to some personal and medical reasons, but here I am.....again. I started it before and then the engine died. Well I'll be damned if that's going to happen again, especially so soon. Lol! Anyways, for those of you who are new to this blog my purpose for writing it is to spread the message about cool things going on and maybe some other surprises. I don't know yet. All I can say is that for starters is that it is going to be a promotional blog for the Twin Cities in Minnesota. That is my first and initial objective, to expand people's knowledge as well as my own. Thanks for reading this and I'll begin posting soon. Peace, Erick/Define
