Journal * 3 - Elvira feat Balan Kashmir - Simple Love MTV





I recently did a video with an artiste called Elvira :) And the video is the FRESH.

Elvira is an artiste signed to R Records which is managed and ran by Reshmonu. This song was penned by Elvira herself and arranged by D'Navigator.

I was not apart of the plan. I was sleeping in the studio when they were recording the song. I went to the shugar studio because Navigator was there. And seriously after a bad day at work, you dont want anyone to disturb your sleep :) All the sudden, Elvira woke me up and told me to fill up an empty part of the song with some raps. It was important to finish the demo tonight, she says. I could have continued sleeping but Elvira and me go way back. I met her in college when i was 18 and still call her 'Akka' from time to time. I was surprised the management team liked what i did in 15 minutes, writing and recording the song half asleep. The demo turned out to be the final copy and the song was chosen to be the first single :)

The Shpice crew was more than just fun while we were recording the video. Big shoutout to Resh, Elvira, Adam, Tim, Shegar, and the rest who was apart of the shoot. Thank you for convincing me with the shirt and hat, haha. No blings and hoodies, right? Ok guys, i buy the word now.

Check it out yall and please please please, pass the word around. This is one of the best local video I've seen for a debut artiste. Not because im in it but shietttt, this video rocks. And the message is bigger than that.

Peace.

Yours truly,
Balan Kashmir




Journal * 2 - Music in Me CD Launch


What a week.

Its been practice after practice, running there and here for the I LOVE Macha Magic tshirt and trying to get work done in between. It's my first show with DJ Mastermind and my second solo show of the year. The first one was pretty much a disaster i would say. The crowd stood still and i was leaking out energy which they were not ready for. But what the heck.

But this second show was different. The line up for Sasi The Don 'Music in Me' CD Launch was crazy:-

Rabbit Mac ( Kuku Bee )* Psycho Unit, biler mau pegi kolam?
Diwan ( Arambam )* Chellllummmmm, great minds think alike, stylooo.
DR. Sakthi ( Soul-Jah ) * Appu, you killed it my man :)
Kraft ( Diamonds ) * Keep grindin, fam.
DR. Burn, Pluck, Tactmatic ( Tekke-Tekke ) * Pluck, cheeeeerssssss.
Syze ( Coo Coo ) * Brick city stand up.

How can someone go wrong with such a line up? And Sasi The Don performed strings of his old and new hits such as Anbe, Yardy Girl, Hold Up and not forgetting his new hit single with DR. Alban- MUSIC IN ME.

Soundcheck was such a drag. Waited for hours actually but in the end was worth it. Rushed to a friend's place in Kepong from MIST and had to return by 10pm which was impossible but managed to do it :) When you have great people on the wheel, traffic jam is like playing daytona. Then dragged my cousin to sunway to pick up kicks from a good friend and fly back to MIST by 10.30pm :) Once again, my boys really treat the road like daytona. The club was already packed and it was showtime at 11pm. Prem and Double D were emceeing the night and all the acts went on stage and put on an excellent show, ask anybody including the waiters and bouncers :)

I performed 'Maria' for the first time since the final arrangement was confirmed. The feedback was positive and folks from the radio station seem to like it so look out for hearing the track on local stations :) DJ Mastermind set was nothing but solid like iron. Working on the remixes and planning to release it by Deepavali so holla holla at your macha.

The club was packed with Indian folks but dont worry, there were no fight reposted that night. Everything was all love. Mad hunnies were present if you ask me so i was busy moving around and getting rounded by old friends with drinks and numbers. Big shoutout to The Commission, Big Bob, Sashi Subang, G. Lazarus and Fam, Rotaract Klang, My ladies and playboys who came out to support your boy.

It was great having yall there and couldnt have been better :) We'll jam better next time.

Journal * 1

they say being a macha is a tough job, i couldnt agree less.

macha- brother in law in tamil but commonly used as brother, friend, crew, buddy, mate or whatever. the point here is, the word macha has been wrongly used for the best reasons.

This blog is for me to stay connected to my thoughts which i've been ignoring to publish for a while now. I used to write alot to publish but then staying up with blogging could also run down your sleeping cycle. Sometime, i would say something here and it would be misunderstood by screw-faces and low-lifes... and the drama unfolds.

But after years of finding myself, i finally understood i have to let go and learn to receive new chapters of my life so i could touch the skies. I'm stubborn like a stain if you really dont know me but 2009 been an aftermath if you ask me. Changes are there if you want them and some suckers will never allow you to change because they fear the elevation but im like... thank you and you're welcome bro.

Let's just say, 2009 is different and i just woke up from a coma.

But its good to be back. And the timing couldn't be better.

Come through to read about your favourite Indian macha and whatever that his thoughts has to deliver about the atmosphere and everything under it :) good or bad.

There's two sides to a story but macha magic is mixed well enough for your delighted tasting sessions.

It's good to be back like good old days :) Welcome home.
