Galleries coming back

I have gotten a few requests recently for copies of the galleries.  I will be posting up a link to them before the weekend.

On the same note, I have decided to bring the galleries back.  The major change is they will be in a section of the site that requires a login.  Sucks to have another site to login too, but you will be able to browse again.  I got some folks that want to add to it too, so there will be more content as well.

Lastly, I got a few more hiphop tracks coming and I will be bringing the games section back.  Fun times at work for sure.

AVGN - Game Glitches

If any of you were gaming in the late 80's/90's, then you will appreciate Angry Video Game Nerd. He makes a video every month about old shitty games, many of which you probably played or heard about. This month's episode is "Game Glitches" which is a good one.  Check it out and his more of his older videos at http://www.cinemassacre.com

Jedi Mind Tricks - Sacrifice

Jedi Mind Tricks is an amazing Hip Hop group, known primarily in the underground scene for their gritty production style.  "Sacrifice" is a great example of that grit.  Vinnie Paz and company lay down tracks with a war-based theme.  I find it hilarious that the intro is from the Disney Movie "Antz".

If you are looking for some bite with your Hip Hop, this is it.

Focus of derelekt.net

Since I redid the site, I have been considering what to focus on for the future of derelekt.net.  At first it was a little overwhelming; There are so many websites out there and so many topics already covered.  That is usually the problem I have encountered over the past 10 years of this site being active.  It took me until just recently to realize it was pointless to try to compete with many of the other sites out there by offering similar content.
 
I decided just to focus on topics that interest me and that I have a lot of knowledge in, mainly being indi/underground HipHop and Funny Videos.  Working in IT, I spend a lot of my time at the computer.  It's not all work...you cannot have work without play and so some of my free time is spent focusing on what little entertainment I can get at work.  Everyone surfs youtube or failblog every so often, looking for something to keep themselves busy.  That is the reason this site exists, to join in the list of sites people browse to entertain themselves.
 
Hiphop and funny videos will not be the only content here; I am a phone geek and currently use a Motorola Droid (Android) Rooted + Cyanogenmod.  I am also currently working on a Metamorph theme based off the Kspec Metamorph.  Another passion of mine is cars, mainly anything turbocharged.  I have a 1993 Eagle Talon TSI AWD in storage currently, awaiting some restoration and repair.  You can expect to see some more about these topics later on.
 
My Idea is to present content I enjoy in the hopes that you may enjoy it to.  If you do, this site may be something worth visiting every once and awhile.  If you do not, there are plenty of other sites to check out.
 
In closing, I welcome you to derelekt.net and hope you get something out of your time here.

*If you are looking for the old galleries that were here, I am no longer hosting them.  You can email me, derelekt AT derelekt DOT net, and I will link you to a copy you can download directly*

Mystik Journeymen - Right Now

"Right Now" is a super chill track by the Journeymen.  The beats are exquisite and pleasing to the ear.  I am always amazed on how well the Journeymen weave their lyrics in with the music, making the words themselves part of the beat.  This is a long track at 5 minutes and 17 seconds which is a good thing; You are going to want to listen to it for as long as possible.

If you have not heard of Mystik Journeymen before, perhaps you have heard of Living Legends.  Below is an excerpt from wikipedia:

The Living Legends Crew originally grew out of, Mystik Journeymen, composed of BFAP (now known as Sunspot Jonz) and PSC. Beginning in 1994, the Mystik Journeymen began cultivating a fan base by selling their own tapes on the streets and hosting "Underground Survivors" shows in East Oakland. In 1995 the duo met The Grouch, and soon embarked on the first of several of self-funded tours throughout Europe. In 1996 Mystik Journeymen and The Grouch joined with the trio, Three Melancholy Gypsys of Los Angeles to form the Living Legends. The crew has since grown to include Bicasso and Aesop. The group and its members have founded and operated several imprints, including Outhouse Records, Revenge Entertainment and their current label, Legendary Music. In 1999, Living Legends moved their base of operations to Los Angeles.

Coming along nicely

Development is chugging along and I have released the first "skeleton" article in the Music section.  I fill be fleshing out music articles with more information after I correct some text color display issues (There are a few places where the text and background make text difficult to read, these will be fixed over the next day or two).

Mystik Journeymen - Mercury Rising

I figured my first track I should post should be one of my favorites.  The beat in Mercury Rising is one of the main reasons I like this song.  The lyrics are spot on and flow well throughout the track.

Check it out!

derelekt.net is back

Long day but the site is back up.  I have decided finally to take out most of the galleries...I am sure some of you will be disappointed but there are other places to obtain that type of content.  I am going to focus more on things relevant to the goals of this site.

I am willing to upload a zipped copy of the gallery content for anyone that wants it.  Just send me an email, derelekt AT derelekt DOT net

As for the rest of you, keep an eye on the site for its continued evolution.
