DON’T SLEEP: JASS #9: M. Constant Live Beat Set @ Phoenix Landing (5.15.2012) [LIVE FOOTAGE]
JASS is a live music/beats/DJ showcase/beat culture label that had a monthly residence @ Phoenix Landing in Cambridge. On a pre-selected Tuesday evening from 9 PM – 1 AM resident DJ’s T-Dredz & Jassy Jeff alongside visual artist VJ Renzo bring in special invited guests to perform live. Last night’s headliner was M. Constant whose “Bugged EP” just dropped on the JASS Bandcamp yesterday.
I was only going to shoot 15 minutes of his set initially until a few things occurred resulting in 4 pieces of footage from two separate phones. First off, I was jostled from behind while shooting on the iPhone 4 and I had ultimately had to reboot that phone. I pulled out the iPhone 3GS and shot with that until some drunk jackass dancing knocked THAT phone outta my hand. I picked it up and started shooting again until my iPhone 4 was back up and running then I shot the last 5+ minutes of M. Constant’s set with it. Don’t sleep…

Dublin, Ireland beatmaker The Expert shot me his beat tape “Neckbreakers Beat Tape” just over half an hour ago. Luckily, it was enough time to listen to it while simultaneously making these past three posts in only 30 minutes (why wait the usual 15 minutes per post if I don’t have to?), figuring out some technical issues I had going on and edit some footage I shot last night. Imagine if I got more than 4 hours of sleep how much more productive I could be? The possibilities are positively staggering. In any event, don’t sleep…

If for some reason you don’t like it, keep this post in context and remember that it’s 4:15 AM. I’ll do more before 7 AM then most stoners do all day (which isn’t saying much although I DO know a lot of highly efficient and productive stoners…you know who you are). Don’t sleep…
