(Video) Amazing Hand Balance Act by Andrey Moraru

Andrey has been my friend for a couple years now, we actually met in Cirque Dreams while I was on tour about a year back. Me and Andrey had countless dance and creative sessions, where we would both come up with new ideas for ourselves and eachother. What is great about this video, is only a year after we've last spoke, he has reached a whole new level of hand balance! Enjoy this beautiful video!

(Free DL) Robert Muraine - Your Mix! - Vol. 2

"Your Mix!" is actually a mix series that I created for my loving girlfriend Buyankhishig, so she can enjoy tracks that remind me of her and her of me, when we are months apart from seeing each other in our long distance 'tour life' relationship. Vol 2 is definitely a lot more upbeat than vol 1, but definitely has that ravey GF-Step feel featuring tracks by the ever popular dubstep heavy weighters: Skrillex, Flex Pavillion, Dr P, Bar 9, Rusko, Deadmau5, Noisia, and more! ... Not to worry the mix was well planned and key matched throughout and takes you on a sound rolling journey through rainbow space.

If you haven't heard vol 1 yet, unfortunately the only way to get it would be at a local record store in the north east LA area. We also can ship it through the milc store. The only reason it isn't up for a Free DL is because the first song of the mix is a copyright infringement on Soundcloud and other sound websites, so we had to white label it. Grab it in the store now if your interested!

Here is the mix and the playlist:

(Video) Great Scene From Goodwill Hunting

Was browsing through a bunch of political videos, and came across this amazing (and at the time) overlooked scene that made me want to buy Goodwill Hunting on BluRay asap! This is something that basically explained all the videos that I posted today on the blog. The great thing was, the dude who wrote this movie had done it 14 years back! It makes me wish I was as of aware of these things a long time ago. It goes to show how fucked up our educational system is, and how our country brainwashes us through schooling and television to not even care that shit like this actually goes on everyday.

"America Will Colapse"

In case the US economy does collapse in the next couple of years, this analyst basically explains what you can do now, to prepare for possible economic crisis. He also talks about the direction that the American economy is heading and how it is frighteningly similar to the early stages of the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90s.

Shocking Truths About Our Goverment

If your seriously to lazy to play this video, just read the caption on the screen in the video preview: "US had no choice but to kill Saddam to get his oil"



Note To All: The police need a warrant to search your car.

'Politics Crew' has been established.

Robert Muraine aka Mr Fantastic & Kian Khiaban aka Kian have officially formed the newest popping duo, 'Politics Crew'. Out with the old in with the new.

Virtual Boy & Thavius Beck @ Heavy LA TONIGHT!


Facebook Event

This is Dubstep



A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the U.S. paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."

Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person" Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. The world needs to see this one!

Im pretty excited about our event coming up on the 1st of October called BASS OASIS!

It will be featuring all the people I personally grew up DJing around in my hood!

Aenima aka Alex is one of my best friends since elementary school! SE7EN aka Steven has been a homie and a part of milc for almost 4 years now! Foniks aka Chad, has been my neighbor for about 3 years and we been DJing and producing together a lot lately! Vaclav is another homie that I recently met through a long time friend Bryan, Vac owns a label in my hood, and is a really dope cat that spins old and new underground electronic music. My Friend Jimmy Q was one of my first inspirations as a DJ and helped me put my setup together a couple years back, and has been a close friend of mine for years now!



Not only will you hear awesome music all night, but you personally will be able to pick up chains with fire on them and swing them around until you fall. You will engage in a series of epileptic seizures from another milc affiliated friend, Circuit5, who has lighting and projection put on the level of a predator disco. We have another friend Johnny, designing the interior of our giant warehouse with random safari items so you can ride the animals. As well as having SE7EN Arcenio V & Danielle Dawn Hitting up walls and canvases all around the area. Not to mention the whole Open Circle team, who is actually making this whole event possible!

Know Your Rights: Photographers

'Taking photographs of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right – and that includes federal buildings, transportation facilities, and police and other government officials carrying out their duties. Unfortunately, there is a widespread, continuing pattern of law enforcement officers ordering people to stop taking photographs from public places, and harassing, detaining and arresting those who fail to comply'

Aenima's Artist Spotlight: Oceania

hey there kiddies

today i feel the need to share something that is very near and dear to my heart. as we all know dubstep has spanned into this unstoppable monster with thousands of definitions that can almost turn your brain into liquid if you try and classify all sounds in a certain song. this notion is not to be underestimated in the artist i am about to introduce to you. enter: Oceania. one nick kostelew out of zelenograd moscow. i just wikipediad zelenograd and found this:

"Zelenograd was one of the most powerful centers of electronics, microelectronics and computer industry in the Soviet Union, and it still plays a similar role in modern Russia. It was developed as a reflection of the California Silicon Valley and known also as Soviet/Russian Silicon Valley."

FUCKING RUSSIANS! well friends out of this motherboard utopia comes one of the fucking freshest sounds in dubstep right now period. this man i suppose can fall under the category of "deep" dubstep, however that notion is shattered by the muti genre spanning tracks all over this kids soundcloud. his tracks straight up transcend any and all dubstep categorizations and fall into an ethereal canvas of multi colored painted sounds and changes like the hues in the sky during passing seasons.

check out this track:
Oceania - Lose Your Senses by oceania
now what can i say about this small piece of lovely. the intro is a kaliedescope of beautiful sound thats akin to innocent childhood nostalgia. layers of sonic beauty lift you up with the sofest angel wings and promptly drop back to earth probably on a sweaty festival dancefloor somewhere in eastern europe with the drop on this track. its like future jungle. those pullsing basslines that wax and wane like paper planes. yet the soft xylophone esque high end pulls your mind into a soaring fixation. needless to say, this track is ahead of its time and kicks fucking ass.

now, lets just see how deep this rabbit hole goes:
Oceania - I Wanna Be Where U Are (free) by oceania

is that a fucking jackson 5 sample? my god yes. yes it is. so not only is this man a genius composer, but he fucking picked out one of the essential motown soul tracks that came from not only the jackson 5 but from the 70s in general (if you havent heard i wanna be where you are by the jackson 5 then im assuming you havent evolved into homo sapien yet) to rework into a dam groovy breakish dubstep track. and you see how the genres are just getting thrown all over the place like ike would toss tina? im sure after making this track mr oceania was also probably thinking "wheres my money?"


and then i leave you with this:
Oceania - Insane Citizen by oceania

so uh yeah. basically this master composer just told all you brostepper teeny boppers that have been on datsiks f1LthY nutsack to shut the fuck up, go home, jerk off to some snowboarding videos and stay the fuck off of his dancefloor while actual production fucks a hole in your speaker.

that being said. i think i like oceania. and if you havent heard, now you have. go buy his shit or die.

(Free DL) cookies & milc - Vol 2 - mixed by Aenima

The long awaited 'cookies & milc' sequel is finally here! The original cookies & milc mix was a 3 DJ/3 genre feature with SE7EN, Robert Muraine & Aenima. This time we got a little more personal and have DJ Aenima back on the decks, with something a little different for these bass heavy times, a disco/house mix! I was actually personally there when Aenima recorded this set. When he started spinning the set, every single song he spun made me wanna dance, it was then and there it was decided that this mix would be the next cookies & milc. Enjoy the download!!

Nu Style Dance Battle: Ben vs Fabrice

Ben (Germany) on the left, Fabrice (France) on the right.

If you don't know what Nu Style is, it's a form of street dance in Europe, similar to the USA's HipHop dance genre, except the dance is based off freestyle not choreography.

This style of dance has been my inspiration for much of this year. :D

The weekly milc 'Would You Rather' poll has just ended...

The results are that most people would rather be 'bloody all the time' than have 'a natural shit stench coming from their armpits that they cannot get rid of'... 8-1

Amazing Contortion Act - 'The Ganbaatar Sisters'

If you know anything about my personal life, you know that I have a girlfriend that just so happens to be a contortionist. For the past 7 years my girlfriend Buyana and her sister Suvda have been touring the US with a company called Cirque Dreams and have consistently been on the road playing shows and showing the world their talents. Recently the sisters have taken some time off, not to go on vacation but to train for the International Contortion Convention in Las Vegas that had just passed about 4 days ago. The Ganbaatar Sisters were chosen as the final act to perform on the last day of the convention and good thing they were, as they were the most celebrated and talked about thing that happened at ICC 2011! Here are the amazing Contortion Sisters!
