February 13
Huge piles of smoke settle in the room. While Fadzil tries to master and experiment with his pro-tools recording machine, Band-friends enter and exit the room as they like. This was where innovative local music was being made at that time. From the glass window, you could see the other room where bands worked with their music as others hanged while waiting for their turn to play. The place gets even livelier at night, and the most memorable one would be when an uninvited gum-addict came knocking to our room of probably more than 10 people.Our response was far from civil as we threatened and chased the poor druggy away. What makes the studio more symbolic is the fact that a large number of local underground bands recorded their works and polished musical abilities at 537 records. In other words, the studio was like a second home for a lot of young people.Humans of all genres have entered this room, Rock and Roll,Metal,Alternative,Black Metal,Hip Hop,Pop,Dancers, even Skaters,and not forgetting to mention the chase we gave the gum-addict whom i doubt would be in a state of sobriety until today.But the most special part of the self-proclaimed institution would be the fact that the studio was owned by an unexperienced 18 year old high school drop out!(Now a music undergrad in Manchester).
Sadly. the studio is now being made as an extended part of Khaz corner's dining experience. The only thing that remains is the glass window which stands both as a landmark and a sign that the place was once upon a time a music playground.I had a lot of flashbacks during my meal as i wasted a hell lot of my college days in that very room. 537 records might be on a temporary break and pending for re-location.But for what its worth,the trippy trip was a very memorable 'waste' for any 17 year old teenage musician to experience. and live-on to. Our band is honored to be a part of 537 records history.
But there is still a long high-way for us to drive through. Both for the label, and the development of our local scene. And if you were to ask me, i would say nothing is impossible. But then again, maybe this last paragraph is just full of 'inggui' over-ambitious, idealistic lines.
Enlighten me.

the universe turns 2008.we havent been giving the studio a visit.free food,jam sessions,and recording are temporarily out of the question since fadzil is in uk furthering his studies in music. hope all is well for the man and that the weather have helped him shed a few pounds and also let him fulfill some his 'things to do before i die'type of things. although we could jam in dani's room but carrying bulky amps is such a drag man. and if your wondering why we havent been coming up with new materials, i would take quarter of the blame. now, since the rest of the band have made song-writing duties as my responsibilty, i have yet to come with the lyrics.'i've made some new drafts' i said. but turns out its one of those materials that only sounds good for a couple of hours until you realise that what you came up with is just plain,forgetable crap. 'i have to wait for that creative and inspired vibe to come to me, and what those to come knocking,i swear you all will crap your pants' .and that magical vibe is still yet to come.
anyways, i am happy to see that friends and cousin from the kicks and stealing second are doing well. these guys are really the band to watch for 2008. i dont think i need to give the snakes a proper introduction because these talented guys have made a speedy establishment in the local scene and have earned themselves quite a following and rapport with the fans.
and the five of us have been thinking of making a project . if it does happen, a potential project name would be called 'THE RECEPTIVE'. It all depends on the nature of the sounds we will potentially come up with. insya'allah.
lastly, we're thinking of playing a gig in february. any free slots and permitted events?
