HOW MY LAPTOP WAS STOLEN AND RECOVERED

 

Here I am a dj and producer (VITAMINDEVO) sitting in the middle of the jungle in costa rica working hard on new music, learning to Surf relaxing away from the busy world of San Francisco. At this point in our 2 month stay in CR we had 1 break in already, with my dads laptop (didnt have prey on it), both our iPhones (didn’t have prey) and my wacom tablet stolen while we slept. A 2nd robbery attempt a few days later, saw the thieves thwarted off in the middle of the day with machetes, neighbors on quads and police on dirt bikes. In the end we never caught them and we figured they would be crazy to come back, after a barrage of people had chased them wielding weapons, into the jungle. Well crazy they were. While we were at dinner a few days later, we came back to find the place completely broken into, all the rest of what we had, Both our DSLR camera’s, Lenses, Cash and MY Laptop STOLEN!

 

 

At this point I immediately snagged a neighbors computer and went to the Prey Project site and initiated the tracking process on my machine. In a way i felt like it was a lost cause, here we are in the middle of the jungle, in a foreign country, with an hour+ radius of only dirt roads surrounding us. No way ill ever see my stuff again, or so i thought…

A tragic accident took the lives of two of my good friends. Zach was one of those friends, aka Zacklander. I made this remix for him in the Fall and we were planning on releasing it, late in the spring. It feels like it needs to be out in the world, and a free download seems appropriate. Cj and Zack you will be missed, good luck in the next universe….

Im super excited to have this chuggy, dusty tech house track finally out to the masses.
It was definitly one of my GO TO tracks last summer and fall to keep people in the game.

Jb Vries has been doing great things, with his progressive house sound as of late
including playing on Christopher Lawrence’s radio show! Look out for good things
coming from this SF based stomper!

We’re gonna need a bigger boat!

 

Ahh.. the famous line from the famous movie about that man eating fish that swims in the ocean. This new track hot off the presses, delivers a nice focused chuggy groove, with that screaming feeling that your ready to swim / dance faster. Its part of the 2012 New Years sampler from SF based label, Fierce Animals, and I don;t know about you, but i consider a Tiger Shark a very fierce animal ;) . Well what are you waiting for, give it a listen and snag it on Beatport or iTunes.
