We have been hard at work on our Music Is My Medicine (MIMM) projects, including a remix track for the BeatPortal D-Nox & Beckers remix competition.
MIMM artist Dee Las Vegas spent alot of days and nights producing this remix track, and DJZonabi spent a few hours working on it with him as well.

we were floating in space, when a voice said: “how do we return?”
automatically, the reply began, “it’s easy, see that beautiful blue-and-green orb over there…”
and below us was a calm, almost peaceful planet.
“…you simply zoom in to it.” and the planet became bigger, until it encompassed almost all of our view. “now you choose a continent- a land mass.” and the planet grew larger as brown and green lands starting to reveal themselves to us.
“now pick a country,” and we zoomed in more as mountains and fields expanded outward giving birth to seemingly hidden cradles of lines, “and then pick a city.”
“see all those people? choose two of them.”
Thanks to Nirav, avid cyclist, adventurer, and also my former manager at GSD&M’s Idea City- for talking about and sharing some news on Green Energy movements not just here in Austin, but around the world. His lady recently graduated with a degree in Environmental Engineering – pretty awesome.
He brought this up-and-coming green-energy firm in Austin to my attention via this news blurb talking about their plans to start up a new kind of company centered on renewables and touting new ideas for business models that may sound esoteric. A smart energy grid in Austin is one of their aims, and it may start with projects as simple as programming washing machines to run late at night when power consumption (need and demand) is at its lowest.
Austin green-energy partnership poised to launch.
Pecan Street Project seeks to develop new renewable energy technologies to spur investment and lure jobs.
After two years of preparations, an Austin-based coalition of government, business and academic interests is poised to launch an ambitious initiative to reinvent the way electricity is generated and used.
The Pecan Street Project seeks to make Austin an incubator for green energy technology, which would spur new business development and attract jobs to the region.
