I'm Back!

I have been away for some time and I have a lot to tell of my experience. I have spent some time north of the border in Canada and across the pond in Europe. Met and battled some of the best DJs in the world. In the next few weeks there will be some postings of DJs, clubs and music relate topics. I also plan on changing a few things.

Until next time, which will be real soon, keep the music up and the earplugs in.

La Kalle

This is a must see website if you are in to Reggaeton like myself. La Kalle is my #1 station for Reggaeton and it should be yours too. If you want to listen in to the great beats I have added a link on the side bar for your convenience.

Enjoy and give me your feedback.

DJ Exits?

It has come to my attention that there is more then one DJ Exit. The other Exit is from South America and I have never heard of him or his work before. I am the original Exit since time can tell. No disrespect to the other, but only one can have the name. As for solving the matter I believe the more popular one should retain the name of DJ Exit.

I want to hear some comments. Have you heard of the other Exit and who should keep the name?

The-N

Not sure what people watch in the evenings especially Fridays, but you need to watch The-N a channel owned by Viacom the same people who run MTV, VH1, etc. The-N has a great selection of shows for you teens. From new shows like Degrassi, Next Generation; Instant Star, Girls vs. Boys, and the newest show South of Nowhere. To old shows like Degrassi, Old School; Fresh Prince, and Moesha.

The newest show South of Nowhere is awesome and a most see. If you like Degrassi you'll love South of Nowhere. It has a great plot and an awesome cast, beautiful girls and hot guys who can't get any girls. :)

This my seem non-music related, but wait I said its owned by the same company that runs MTV and they too play music videos between shows. The music played on the shows is great. My favorite is the theme song for the Fresh Prince. HAHA!

Check local listings for show times.

Music can heal your heart

Musical training is a great stress buster and may benefit your heart, a new study published in the British Medical Journal has revealed.

The findings are based on various aspects of breathing and circulation, in 24 young men and women, taken before and while they listened to short excerpts of music.

Half of those taking part were trained musicians, who had been playing instruments for at least seven years, while the rest had no musical training.

Each participant listened to short tracks of different types of music in random order, for two minutes, followed by the same selection of tracks for 4 minutes each. A two minute pause was randomly inserted into each of these sequences.

Participants listened to raga (Indian classical music), Beethoven's ninth symphony (slow classical), rap (the Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Vivaldi (fast classical), techno, and Anton Webern (slow dodecaphonic music).

Faster music, and more complex rhythms, speeded up breathing and circulation, irrespective of style, with fast classical and techno music having the same impact. But the faster the music, the greater was the degree of physiological arousal.

Similarly, slower or more meditative music had the opposite effect, with raga music creating the largest fall in heart rate.

But during the pauses, all the indicators of physiological arousal fell below those registered before the participants started to listen to any of the tracks.

his effect was stronger among the musicians, who are trained to synchronise their breathing with musical phrases.

Passive listening to music initially induces varying levels of arousal, proportional to the tempo, while calm is induced by slower rhythms or pauses, say researchers.

I always believed music was great for the heart. Up beat music relieves me of stress. Something that most people may find strange, but loud music takes my headache away, of course it has to be a song.

What do you think? Comment back.

Side Note: I like how they say Red Hot Chilli Peppers is rap.

Britney Spears Gives Birth To A Baby Boy

The news, which began circulating Wednesday afternoon, was confirmed by a posting on the singer's Web site early Thursday morning (September 15) that said, "It's a boy!

"We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son," read the posting, which was signed by both Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline. "Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you all for your love and well wishes!"

Us Weekly had trumpeted the news on Wednesday, citing unidentified sources at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, California, claiming that the singer arrived at the hospital with a police escort shortly before 6 a.m. that day, and was wheeled into delivery just after noon, delivering her son via Caesarean section. (The National Enquirer had reported earlier that day that Spears had gone into labor, but had no further details by the time Us Weekly broke the news.) The media coverage was raised to a fever pitch as several outlets jumped on the story, citing Us Weekly, but it wasn't until Thursday morning, when Spears' site and People magazine carried the statement, that it was official. People also reported that Federline was in the delivery room with Spears.

In the October issue of Elle magazine, Spears said she'd prefer to have a C-section, and if that wasn't an option, "I'll be like, 'Epidural, please!' ... I don't want to go through the pain."

Spears announced that she was pregnant in mid-April, posting on her Web site that the time had come "to share our wonderful news that we are expecting our first child together". The singer kept her due date under wraps, though her sister, Jamie Lynn, let it slip on her own Web site that it would be in September. After that, her reps alluded to a September date, though they didn't specify exactly when she was due.

Spears' representatives had no comment at press time.

A name has yet to be announced for Spears' first and Federline's third child. Federline already has two children with former girlfriend Shar Jackson: 2-year-old Kori and 1-year-old Kaleb.
