Hello with another words for a main theme in the world.
I think that every the Central Europe smile - which still exist on a more heads by the Central Europe country that a war on Ukraine is a war on Ukraine and no matter on the all because Ukraine is the problem - can be take out because after Ukraine the smile will be the first what will be erased from a map because no one country around the Central Europe country will be lost as this nation.Yeah, it’s for a pleasure that in Central Europe itself I see more thinking about it all for what there were the words about a red plans with the Central Europe country but I think this is not a end for everything because I think the Central Europe country issues are pretty big that a solution could be a shutdown of all generations for a one generation (the screenshot is from Magalopolis movie [2024]) which don’t will be in a contact with all the bad things in the reality. This is difficult to say but a truth is also that there exist too many bad things that a generation which don’t will be in the contact with the all bad things the generation could be the solution for erasing of all the bad things.
Now to my thought about I now thinking. Maybe is not so good idea take too the fear by a potential for a war in Europe. A truth is that, COVID pandemic itself maybe was made for an economical shutdown in Europe and for the war itself. And not only in Europe. There were a tryings for an investigation for a virus release but the tryings failed.
And now there is spread a fear due a war what can be the economical deficit, recession or inflation as a pandemic. Probably I have now fear about a deficits in Europe more than the fear from a war in Europe. And the war can be more simple with the deficits itself.
There are an indices that during end of a pandemic and a months after the pandemic in a Central Europe country were a tryings for more shutdown economy as a war strategy for a more deep deficit because someone need weakly people especially or someone used a frequent foolish ideas of a minds for a war purposes. And I think in another way by fear and not by a forcing for a more deep deficit, that a tryings for a deficit by a fear because a words about the war also belong to a war strategy.
I just think the last thing what Europe needs is a deficit by a fear itself. A Central Europe country need started with it all but I think Western Europe need work for a civilization what there already exists without a potentials for a deficit by a fear from a words.
How I said I have a fear that a fear can be strategical and is better when there don’t will be too a fear what could stop what a people building because I think that a infrastructure in a deficit is among the last thing what Europe needs and the same people without moneys is also the last what Europe needs.

So now there is more EU countries who bring there a temporary border controls. After Italy or Germany, there is also France, for example, and during December 2024 Netherlands will be also among the EU countries with a temporary border controls.
I see these temporary border controls as a good idea for a issues which there can exist because due to current issues by a war there can be the situation with increasing tensions about a danger people who could trying destabilize Western Europe countries with a attacks in these countries.
But I see these temporary solutions as not a solutions for a reasons why there are these border controls. For example, there are a inner EU issues and there not exist a official words for it although these issues are in a use for a red plans or these problems were systematically increased for a red plans as is a Central Europe country and a border controls not so official there also exist because these inner EU issues. For example, when a COVID pandemic was in an end, and probably a COVID plans with an economy failed, there was a tryings for more shut down an economy in a Central Europe country. This there was for a months in 2021 before there started a war during a start of 2022. I think everything seems to be as a plans against Western Europe.
But I think, although there are not any official words about a problems in a more eastern EU countries, there exists a reality that Western Europe people know about it. For example, I can’t help to myself for that I don’t want to say this, that about a inner EU issues in a more eastern EU countries Western Europe people know because they demonstrated it during a reactions on a my problems in a more eastern EU country. And these reactions by the more or proper Western Europe people were for me more interesting because my person itself had little different view how bad are a things against my person. For example, in a reality I saw more sadness by a UK drum and bass artists, a words from a UK girl or another reactions by common people in Germany that I said to myself that a problems are probably more worst than I think. And that even my view was a wrong, this demonstrated 2023. And 2023 said a lot not only to me about my person but everything went more down in Europe because of an oppressive and toxic people.
I think, when there don’t will be an official words and tryings for shut down inner EU issues, then a temporary solutions are not a solution. I believe that there exist a tryings for it, because EU itself, but something probably still failing. And yeah, an official words there are not.
For example, although there are a words, that a temporary solutions looks to been as against EU, there are a EU countries where people are an common against EU as is not so common to see in a countries who brought there now a border controls and exist there a inclinations for a socialism or what as Putin and similarly could want bring over all. Someone could estimates that majority of United Kingdom people agree that Brexit very failed for UK. A stats about as United Kingdom people feel economical issues by Brexit are pretty interesting; A feelings about increase prices in shops itself are very interesting.
And when I don’t will want speak about an inner EU issues, but I will speak about an issues with not EU people, I think that EU probably failing on a EU border controls. And probably there should be a better control system on the EU borders. But yeah, now there is a war and things go more worst everywhere than seems to be a better EU border controls.
There is now many words that everything looks as a tryings against EU, but I think this is not against EU. But there are the issues what can be temporary more under a control, but these temporary solutions are not a solution for why there are these temporary solutions.
At the article Release Yourself I spoke about that, ‘And what forming my mixes are also a realities. I know about a positive places and countries why I could mixing vibes of these places as I know about a places what forced me for mixing about something what is not exist on an)other better living places. Someday I am confused because I think a vibes someone couldn’t understand because my life exists between different realities what forming my mixing itself.’
I have also an another poetic words about it.
The Red Flesh
In the moonlight The cells see nothing
The odd reality In the perfidy As when the sun is not
In the veins of the self-denying No fate The futility of creation When You are
Without the days of old And without a time ahead Even in the awakening Find nothing
The Blue Glamour
In the moonlight The cells bright flow
The yard reality In the towering As when the sun can’t retire from
In the veins of the earth Coming times The stream of creation When You’re there
With the days of heritage And with the forward times Even in the awakening Find the gospel truth
Women in Music, Anfisa Letyago |
In Netherlands exist pretty expensive techno community by common Netherlands people. In Europe, almost everyone should know how looks Netherlands and that a mirage of the common Netherlands society is the proper Western Europe techno community; A beautiful gardens and high(-tech) and expensive architecture with profound and cultural economical society.
And in Netherlands, currently is often to see Anfisa Letyago on techno events. Probably who write my way to Anfisa Letyago was Nina Kraviz and also there was IG account by Anfisa Letyago. There was a time when I thought that Nina Kraviz is Anfisa Letyago because I saw a IG posts and I didn’t read an account name; For me, they looked similarly on a IG posts. After a time, I saw a new name at these IG posts. And I looked on this IG account and there was Anfisa Letyago. I liked Anfisa Letyago smiles more like her techno and I like also her Italian food, and Anfisa Letyago smiles and food brought me to Anfisa Letyago techno.
Now to point of the article, because a reality of Czechia, I am often critical to Czech techno scene. What wrote my criticism, this is a Czech reality when there are massive collaborations* among a (wannabe) techno people and free tekno people although techno culture and free tekno is something totally different. In Czech medias itself I can to see that medias speak about free tekno parties as about techno events; This nonsense itself made a bad name for techno. And I think, in Czechia ravers itself did a bad name for techno because their approaches. But not only a Czech ravers approaches are the reason but also because Czech society seems to be out of reality around them.
Anfisa Letyago takes a prestigious award in Women in Music in Italy. This itself speak many about a contrary among not only Western Europe and a Central Europe but also there is the contrary to other countries as is Italy. In Czechia maybe work a Zlaty (in translation, Golden) Slavik. I could laugh to the name of the award because everyone knows what is Slavik conditions. Probably name for the award is a right.
I just only write how horrible is a reality of a country where people don’t understand a realities around them although the people around them they understand it. For me this is an alert how different is a reality of other EU countries and a gray reality in a Central Europe.
Yeah, Central Europe is also piece of Germany but Germany in techno is also totally different reality because everyone in interest knows that in Germany realized what started in Detroit and Germany is a main reason for that techno exist in reality. Maybe a problem is also that in a Central Europe are not an electronic music 90’s experiences how there was in Western Europe. A gabba itself totally not existed in Czechia in 90’s. And there are not any experiences with 90’s. And when I said something about 90’s, I could to say about a drugs. I think, gabba exists especially because 90’s Netherlands and Belgium. Gabba is a mainstream in Western Europe from 90’s. And there was few years in 90’s where - for example- was being a boom in MDMA using and similarly on these events. But I think, mainstream Western Europe people found that this using is an unsustainable and now there is nothing like that. But in Czechia I have often feeling that a people trying about an unsustainable drug reality for more like 20 years. And this itself is impossible for reality as is Anfisa Letyago. Someone need a awakening or I don’t know what don’t work in a minds.
It’s beautiful when people as is Anfisa Letyago and Italy also can destabilizing a reality of unawareness of a significant reality around that I don’t know where my life is write in a reality of a lies that people speak to yourself about the world around. For example, Charlotte de Witte had also a collaboration in Italy; New Form IV, when there was a collaboration among F1 Ferrari and Charlotte de Witte because Charlotte de Witte techno is prestige for F1 (itself). I am a fan of Ferrari in F1 from a Schumacher years.
And probably, this article I could connect to myself. I think why I have many support from Western Europe people and why people around don’t understand, there is the main reason among other. I often see that people around don’t understand electronic music itself as they don’t understand in what is (not only Western) Europe because…
And that Czech people don’t understand about is Western culture, in 2023 also demonstrated Liquicity Festival. What there was from Central Europe people was the horrible misunderstanding. I think everything was horrible what there was or still exist because Liquicity Winter Festival 2022 and Netherlands reality what someone found because my words about proper Western Europe country. I want this say again because I don’t understand this an unsocial problematic behavior. I think no one in Netherlands understands it. Really I have the feeling that my talks about Netherlands was a mistake because from these times somewhere are a problems. On other side, there are also a doubts about a reality of a country because the my words about Netherlands or reality other EU countries.Sidney SN released a news, see on the link; A life in the Moments.
With the November GHOSTS I started with a mixes with little different themes than I had in a previous not so official BassBlog mixes or on Sidney SN SoundCloud.A theme of A life in the Moments is little different than at previous two mixes but this mix has a connection to why I want an end for a vibes of the previous two mixes.
In a way, November GHOSTS, Roots Of Everything and A life in the Moments are a mixes series because there are a specific themes and a specific liquid drum and bass with the deep drum and bass tracks mixing. I think mixing liquid drum and bass tracks with a less melodic deep drum and bass tracks is a good or interesting idea. But also for now I feel that this mixing is something I could want to stop because I have no interest about more sadness than I often feel from many realities of the current world. I don’t need did a things more worst with a theme of a my mixes.
In a way, Sidney SN has been about a positive vibes especially because a my naturally itself is that I mixed more mixes with a positive sense although for many people the same situations are a reason for a negative music. And also a negativism was being the reason why I started doubting about Sidney SN releases (in Lost in Liquid Vibes). Among other things, I stand still for a life thrills and what I do as Sidney SN is not everything as a Life Thrills. And for now, I don’t want feeding a negativism or a sadness. Although is a sad the end of A life in the Moments. But it’s fine in a way and it’s fine when someday releasing Yourself.
I think A life in the Moments is a last mix of the series what Sidney SN started with November GHOSTS because now I have no interest about the same vibes. Probably now I want a new ways (of mixing itself) for Sidney SN. But someday I mean about a thing and when I write about this I have a new thoughts. In a way, I am surprised that Sidney SN mixes still work. I had no predictions that Sidney SN online mixes still will exist in 2024. But the same, I had no predictions about a support I have as I had no predictions about a problems because Sidney SN itself. I still just thank for everything I had already. And a truth is, among other things, a series also was being about a situations.
And what forming my mixes are also a realities. I know about a positive places and countries why I could mixing vibes of these places as I know about a places what forced me for mixing about something what is not exist on an)other better living places. Someday I am confused because I think a vibes someone couldn’t understand because my life exist between different realities what forming my mixing itself. But in a way, no matter what someone can’t understand because is not my problem that someone don’t understand or that someone don’t know about or someone rejecting a places and realities what I like or I don’t like.
In a past (2015, 2016), when in my headphone I listened a liquid drum and bass from Chilloutbear platform, I said to myself that is not my problem that people around don’t understand the vibes or that they are depressive person and not positive as is a liquid vibes with a sad liquid drum and bass lyrics or means or with positive liquid lyrics or means. The same I often feel now that a people around can’t understand my liquid drum and bass and when there are often these situations I often laughing because of it. But on the other side, misunderstanding or also rejecting a better realities or a basic human rights and freedoms was being a reason for an issues.
And in a way, I don’t know if is a good idea mixing something with a connections to myself. I think when I do something as it, there can exist a predictions that everything have a connection to my reality or to reality around me. But is not the truth that everything take a connection with me. In a way, the same making many artists that something have a connection to their person or no.

I don’t know how explain it but probably that I have only three videos from this Liquicity, this demonstrate the reality. And these three videos are the best moments that I saw in this Maassilo. I said to myself that I want recording only the best moments and this is sad that there are just three moments.
Maybe on a main stage atmosphere was good for more times than I have on a one video from the stage, but second stage was weird whole time for me and a small neurofunk stage or what there played was total horrible. The atmosphere in Maassilo spring 2024 was really a weird.
And also on the second stage was even less people than I expected. A music itself on the second stage was bored. There was a moments when I said to me that now could be better, but even GLXY played similarly as everyone another and my prediction that with GLXY could be better was also gone.
Maassilo spring 2024 was for me total contradiction to Liquicity Winter Festival 2022. I saw nothing from what there was in Maassilo December 2022. For example, second stage itself during Maassilo December 2022 was for me with incredible atmosphere, the atmosphere was so beautiful that is difficult to say how the atmosphere looked on the second stage itself. Whole the Maassilo December 2022 was the best drum and bass event which I knew. Even a small stage was amazing with very good atmosphere.
And Spring Festival 2024 was the most worst Liquicity what I saw. A music itself on second stage in Maassilo December 2022 was perfect for me. In Maassilo 2022 there was an authenticity for what a producers played. And mixes there were full of liquid, deep or also 174 BPM dancefloor as is Boxplot. Or Skeptical with his deep drum and bass mix. Or Ruth Royall, I don’t need to say who is she. In Maassilo spring 2024 I had a feeling that the mixes are without authenticity itself and in a way especially a mishmash of liquid, deep and dancefloor drum and bass. And I think that everyone played the same mishmash. I don’t want again the same experience because I can’t enjoy an event when there is this atmosphere.
A people also was not so good in Maassilo spring 2024 as there was the right atmosphere at Liquicity Winter Festival 2022. On Liquicity Spring Festival 2024 I had no one from the feelings that I want stay on the event an hours after an end of the event. Because the feelings I had before midnight (during end of the event) in Maassilo December 2022.
I think that who destroyed the atmosphere were a Central Europe assholes already during Liquicity Festival 2023 but although I know the reality of Czechia, I had no predictions what there will be because my words about Maassilo December 2022.

A man must be political
What I think about my approaches to an electronic music, I have a specific choice what I like.
For example, from drum and bass I like especially liquid and this is also little specific because soulful liquid I don’t mixing (but I mixing someday ‘soulfull’ liquid drum and bass) something by deep drum and bass and melodic better with vocal dancefloor or something by oldschool. I don’t like neurofunk pretty much, I don’t like a new ways in dancefloor or what is this. For example, boom of speedbass itself. Or another dancefloor drum and bass that is a news there or that, that I don’t know what is this as drum and bass genre.
A truth is, in a start Sidney SN was just modern liquid drum and bass in drum and bass. I was without interest about another drum and bass. This is main still for me.
Maybe there could be a questions around Buunshin, for example, because a my interest. Buunshin was someone who brought there something total different and I supported him also because I think Imanu rised due Buunshin music. I think Imanu vibes is something that makes connections to Buunshin. Before Buunshin was not Imanu. But truth is also, I don’t like their music so much. But I had a sympathy to Buunshin as to a man.
I don’t like dubstep also, for example. For example, I think Rampage Summer Festival is also nothing for me. A main dubstep there or a main drum and bass there is nothing for me, I think.
I don’t like tekno as a music. I don’t like free tekno policy as something total uncivilized. I see this as when someone trying about dehumanization of human being to a monkey uncivilized world. A non-culture of a primitivism.
I like techno, tech-house, progressive, house (Nina Kraviz house tracks I love, for example) something by progressive psytrance with values by techno people and not by alchemist vibes by psytrance community, I like something by trance, EDM, I like minimal techno, I like something what is specific vibes for German melodic or minimal techno. German drum and bass is also a specific. I must to say that one of the reasons why I visited Burn Out Festival 2023 in Rechenzentrum, Potsdam Germany, was it that I wanted to listen this specific German oldschool of a Jungle or German drum and bass vibes. And this there was among others; I think Ugly Dub for total, for example. They are a German and Berlin drum and bass specific vibes, I think. Whole this Berlin event was specific for me also because the Germany vibes of drum and bass music itself. It’s as a wear. There are a specifics in clothing or fashion itself for German people from a culture that a man don’t see on another places than is Germany. Due this wear a man can to know German people on a places as are Netherlands events or everywhere. Or Berlin people itself a man can know everywhere.
For example, although is probably good that Tomorrowland is now multiverse to electronic music more than before COVID pandemic, I have a theory why after COVID pandemic, during 2018 I had taste for Tomorrowland vibes but now I doubt that I want to visit Tomorrowland when Tomorrowland is not Tomorrowland as was and I can’t enjoy a atmosphere that I want for try. Now there are more different communities and is impossible to feel that there was before, I think.
I like many things by New Retro Wave.
I think, drum and bass is not a one music genre. In drum and bass are total contrarians in music as is contrary among EDM and free tekno. That it’s difficult to say I like drum and bass when in drum and bass are contrarians as among EDM and free tekno. In politic sense in drum and bass are also these differences. Political sense of EDM is similarly for all, for example.
I like proper or melodic techno for example more than many things in drum and bass, for example.
Or for example, I support KNTXT more like some drum and bass scenes due a values in KNTXT. Or I like KNTXT music more than many things in drum and bass, for example.
I think that I am techno, tech-house, house BPM speak also why I don’t like speedbass in drum and bass. A speed is nothing for me.
Someone could to say that in liquid drum and bass can take also a different values. This is a truth, I think. Sidney SN mixing liquid drum and bass there is also because a values there. I see liquid drum and bass as music genre with that is possible to say what someone wants. And from a start there was revolutionary potential of liquid drum and bass to more intelligent world because a values in liquid drum and bass. In liquid drum and bass this a man can do not only with lyrics but with a vibes of melodies there. For example, I think many tracks there are because a Universe feeling of a producers. I feel that and this is a one of Sidney SN essence.
And maybe that a contrary among a more oldschool liquid drum and bass and more a modern liquid drum and bass is that modern liquid drum and bass is more an emotional. But I think emotions are everywhere a one of the main reason at a production of a music. Old liquid drum and bass (Intelligent Jungle) had another a peaceful reasons or a better this liquid drum and bass had another different peace vibes, I think. But in a way also this old vibes is could be about emotions that someone brought there this music for a reason. I think modern liquid drum and bass do more emotional music a lyrics and vocals itself. At old liquid drum and bass is not so much vocals itself. Maybe also an old liquid drum and bass was little as a soulful liquid drum and bass more than a modern mainstream liquid drum and bass.Although I like 174 Boxplot BPM tracks, for example, I think I like on display when I see 86 - 87.50 BPM of liquid or deep drum and bass tracks more than 172 BPM or 174 BPM. But that 174 BPM is also 87.50 BPM knows especially DJs, I think. Or especially what I think this know people in interest about drum and bass. But a dancefloor is also something that I can and I like. But Sidney SN is a liquid or deep drum and bass 86 - 87.50 BPM especially. As a man, I like something proper or melodic techno more than many things in drum and bass and someday I have feeling that I feel good more on a specific techno events or specific Western Europe techno festivals (I don’t like Central Europe techno scene because especially I see a many collaborations with free tekno because free tekno dirty reality is a mainstream in Czech.) where I like almost all music itself and people around more than on a drum and bass events where I like not that all. I think this is because techno is techno and it’s simply way I can specific what means techno and is a truth that drum and bass is not a drum and bass for every time the same because differences in drum and bass music itself and is impossible so simply to say that I like drum and bass. It’s like when some progressive people don’t like techno I don’t like the similarly way all in drum and bass because in drum and bass is a more sub-genres. I think I am not a one who feel that. For example, in December 2019 I had a research in Prague and I had a more discussions with a liquid dancefloor people on a event with Netsky and Culture Shock and they was unfriendly to a non-liquid drum and bass people probably more than me because I don’t hate everything what is not liquid or a dancefloor liquid drum and bass. Someone even said that they are especially Netsky and nothing else. Black Sun Empire they saw as an unreal for listening. To Hallucinator who is a mainstream in Czech, they was totally unfriendly and without understanding. If a Hallucinator is a drum and bass it’s a question itself for me because I don’t understand that this is also drum and bass. I visited two events where Hallucinator played; One of them was a one of the most worst drum and bass event that I visited and during another event I leaved this event before Hallucinator started play because I had feel that I am on a free tekno party now. I think an approaches as a man can to see in Pop culture that someone like only some artists although there is a thousands artists in Pop it’s also good approach. Maybe someone could to say that in drum and bass are also a contrarians as exist a contrarians in a Pop culture.
And I don't know so clear but maybe Western techno people understand me more than a drum and bass people as is Liquicity Festival for a now, for example. Although I must rejected them in a most when there are around I saw that on a people around me on 909 Festival 2024, for example. They was a less confused about me or they was without a confuse that I see on Liquicity events, for example. This is also a truth. Liquicity Spring Festival 2024 was similarly. But Liquicity Spring was not so good as all on Liquicity Festival 2024. And also Liquicity Winter Festival 2022 was so good that no words for me. Winter Festival 2022 still is the best of Liquicity events for me; I think because a lineup there itself and because better people there than after a madness on Liquicity Festival 2023 when on Spring Festival 2024 I saw a changes of a community and vibes of. And also I don’t want be a specialist on the Netherlands Liquicity events but a changes to not so good there was.
Probably because a changes there, I don’t feel too good on Liquicity NL, for example, because I don’t know who raving or there is next to me. What I see now also that someone looks as a people with an inner aggression or that. Maybe this is now on Liquicity because there is more people who an understand Liquicity as a common drum and bass festival or event, or common party for a their raving, I think. On Liquicity Spring Festival 2024 I saw more these people, I think. This is a change there, I think. Maybe I could want to visit also Liquicity Festival 2017 - 2019 to I could know better. But in 2022 there was less these people about I doubt. And I think 2017 -2019 was more about a liquid people.
I don’t want to speak about my identities in a deep ways here because in a way no matter when I speak that I am an asexual that there are not a reactions in a reality. But maybe I could to say also something that is a romantic thing that is total contrary to an asexuality or that I am a normal to a things. I don’t know what is a worst for a many girls or women’s. What is a clear, I am not a gay for example but I support LGTBQ for example. A asexuality and a natural nympho is also something that a belong to rainbow flag. LGBTQ itself is a reason why I visited Rechenzentrum, for example. I like also Nymfo music, for example.
I don’t know if someone speak about a speedbass as about drum and bass but if it do after that I can to say that even not 174 PBM a break beats is a one thing that speak something what do drum and bass the same through all drum and bass genres.
I think when modern liquid drum and bass could not exist probably I could play a progressive, melodic techno or tech-house or minimal. But I don’t need play this when there is pretty many another good Djs and producers. I think Sidney SN started also because there was nothing as a full mixes of modern liquid drum and bass. And this I feel still about a liquid drum and bass.
I think my approach to liquid drum and bass an stream from my naturally and it’s the reason why about me know that many people or I had a applause in reality on a places where mainstream in drum and bass is something total different. Just I think don’t take a fear by a sweet vibes when play a full liquid because I started be famous because a stories of modern liquid drum and bass.
