Alt-Jpop

I live a very isolationist life but sometimes I infiltrate some alien influences, some black market  pirates and somewhat illegal goods to my cuisine. At the end of the day, 1898 is the ultimate melting pot, call it cultural appropriation, we call it the apex of multiculturalism! This is why Raw Veganism and Fruitarianism are important, most people think, you appreciate another's culture through cuisine, eating cockroaches, pesto pasta, Pad Thai, stir fry, veal, Gazpacho, curated ham, Clam Chowder, etc. As one wise Raw Vegan said, eating cooked food is like candy and far from reality. One is in contact with culture through the fallen fruits, eating the fresh mangoes while being barefoot in Harajuku or Gangnam. Who cares about culture? When you have 1898 aka the machine of culture, the machine of the Third World... Here are 1898's and Alt-Jpop's top pirates of 2018. Lil Texas Even if Hardcore music isn't really our thing, we must admit that Lil Texas the Speed ...

It's been a long year, a lot of hard work and still lot to do. Overall, it's been a great, I have polished my musical style much more, leveling technique with reach, what I mean is that sometimes you have to be proficient in technique in order to have full control of your sound and concept. But I'm not talking about technique in the sense of DAW, sound design, mixing, etc. but  Pure Technique  and pure technique is Wisdom in the most Oriental way, the Buddha way, the Tao Way, the  Big Brother  way as Quavo from Migos would put it. You have lived a lot, you have seen the worst, you have seen the best, this is pure technique. The year has come to an end and I must at least give you something of cultural value. What Artists have been worthy during my 2018? I don't listen to albums that much, I'm not an album-philiac, Albums are just a byproduct of silly Music Journalism, Albums are made for Clout Chasing Journalists for them to write silly, uninformed and arbi...

Arca preparing for a bullfight "I think my sounds are more sample-oriented. Even the synths that I like a lot are more sample-based. It's almost like with digital graphics: it's raster vs. vector. I'm more raster when it comes to sound."-M.E.S.H. Deconstructed Club, we all know what this is right? Some people hate it, Kode 9 bashed it by calling it self-indulgent in the dancefloor, everybody hates it basically. I personally don't hate it. How can I hate Deconstructed Club when Alt-Jpop and DJ Melania 666 have some vestiges of Deconstructed Club. I don't know where the name comes from, at first I found the term Deconstructed Club pretty retarded (I still find it quite retarded) but at the end of the day I simply don't take the term literally. Deconstructed Club is very vast scene, from Staycore to NAAFI to PAN and recently Posh Isolation and Kai Whiston. How did all this started? Kode9 influenced dancefloor Some people say it started wit...

Some people actually send me beatz every now and then, and they ask me to give my opinion. Ironically these people seem to have a bigger fanbase than us! Other people simply evade showing us their music when after listening to DJ Melania 666 or Alt-Jpop. People are afraid, of the DJ Tony, Teresa or DJ Melania opinion, it is as if we are going to annihilate their self-esteem. Of course, we bash everything every now and then but that's part of the joke, deep down we are good people. So, what makes a a good beat according to us? To this I must say, the most important thing about a beat, it's actually... you... Deep down, we are conscious that critique is arbitrary and that Music Journalism should be strictly controlled by the State! Jk. You guys get the point, what makes an opinion valid? You just need the clout. Clout is not having 1million followers, write reviews for Pitchfork, having a polyamorous relationship, etc. Clout is more complex. You could be a nobody and destro...

"The Music Speaks for Itself"-DJ Melania 666 Music has a lot value  regardless of what people who have real jobs say. Who the fuck needs a Mechanical Engineer? Who needs a Teacher? As a matter of fact, most people hate their teachers. People love Young Thug, Murda Beatz, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Dua Lipa and Beethoven. Without Music, where would we be? If your parents got married, there is a high probability somebody played the Piano in the Wedding Ceremony. If there is no music, there is no love. Implying to get a real job is to not believe in love, to not believe in any kind of love, and a world without love is a world without justice. In the times of 5 dollar beat leasing, the life of a musician is becoming increasingly tough but at the same time I see this as a blessing. I've been trying to get artists involved for 1898 and Alt-Jpop but it hasn't been very successful. Singers either ignore you, language barrier impedes communication or simply find it too diffi...

A Vegan World! :O Not everybody is aware that every member of 1898music and myself are Vegan. I've been Vegan since I was 15 years old and now I'm 29. A lot of time has passed since I initially went Vegan. Has my Philosophy of Veganism changed throughout all these years? I would say the impulse is the same, and as life goes on, my initial purpose is constantly reaffirmed. Why Veganism? Here are my 5 lessons in life Veganism has taught me. 1. Be Militant One of the main problems of our century is not laziness but lack of militancy. We are obsessed with striving different goals and focusing on what is the latest trend. One has to aim at the timeless rather than the disposable. Veganism is a promise of eternity and purity, from the first day you are Vegan, you are eternally Vegan, it makes no sense to go on a temporary Vegan diet. This fidelity and militancy is extended to 1898music and Alt-Jpop, you hold on to an eternal intuition and process. Once you start the promise,...

A woman drinking Soylent , a popular artificially flavored meal replacement among Gen Z I don't tend to share my opinions or have any discursive presence, for this reason I'm spreading my ideas more often to whoever is interested. People who know me personally are very aware of my cultural isolationism , I'm extremely xenophobic, not xenophobic in the anti-foreigner racist way but I'm reluctant to the innovationism  of Western Culture. I find Western Popular Culture quite silly in fact, especially the so called Emo Trap , a problematic genre that has accelerated the cuckholdery of beat leasing. Lil Peep is an idol to Gen Z and Millennials, for some arbitrary reason people are obsessed with his persona and what he represents. Since I'm an apologetic of moralism, Lil Peep is a reflection of how cuck we have become, no offense to his fans, not that Lil Peep's fans are cucks but that Lil Peep is a reflection of how cuck we have become.  Even if I'm a esot...
