Hi!
Just to say hello!
My name is Maxime, 27y.o.
I'm swiss but I live in London.
I'm graphic designer and type designer.
I've been poying not very regularly for some years (more seriously for 1 year) but most of the time, alone. It's a bit frustrating, but it seems that there almost nobody into it around here.
Anyway, at least I have nice videos to keep me inspired and motivated!
Thank you to everybody in the forum!

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.

Ha ha.
Well it's a certain style of rap. (sorry for that ;-))
Typically, there are 3 main styles in US rap: NY ("east coast"), LA/SF ("west coast", doesn't exist really anymore) and the south. It's not perfectly appropriate to say "south" as this 3rd style exists as well in the midwest and even on the east coast (Michigan). Thare are some other styles like "indy" rap (mainly white-asian public), but they're rather small in comparison.
Well, the southers styles, ("dirty south", "crunk", screw", etc) are in general based on synthetic instruments and sounds as opposite to NY where the music is mostly based on samples of live instruments. The tempo is often a lot slower (60-80 bpm) than in the east (80-110 bpm). One can find in this style more influences of blues or gospel than in NY where funk and jazz prevail.

Spits = Spitalfield market, near Liverpool Street, and very close to Brick Lane. It's a poi/staff/juggling/anything goes meet with loads of cool people. It's every Tuesday night 6ish - 10. Good place to meet fellow spinners and to learn some new tricks. Like I say, I hardly ever go. Yep - I'm lame. But tis good!
Here's the thread about it (ignore all the random stuff!)
