The Controversy

Women in Music, Anfisa Letyago

 I don’t know why but I like techno music and I often write about an approaches to techno by proper Western Europe reality. 

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 something 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.

Release Yourself

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. 

Although I had a doubts about a stats on BassBlog platform, November GHOSTS and Roots Of Everything got many plays I didn’t expected. From A life in the Moments I have a feeling that a plays will not so good as at the previous mixes from a series. I feel it for more reasons as is a vibes of almost whole the mix. 

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.
