Doomsday 2012 Food Threat

The Daily Mail reported this week that increasing numbers of ‘ordinary people are stockpiling their larders with non-perishable food, buying water-purifying pumps and camping stoves’, in response to growing fears about economic meltdown in 2012.
Referencing the government’s claim that Britain is ‘nine meals from anarchy’ following the fuel protests in 2000, when the country’s ‘just-in-time supermarket food supply lines’ meant shops were close to running out of food, the Mail also quizzed food expert Professor Tim Lang.
‘There is a mass psychology of insecurity at the moment and I think that is worrying,” the Professor of Food Policy at City University London told the Mail. “Quietly, but inexorably, the problem of food security has entered into the mass consciousness,” he said. (Mail: http://bit.ly/sHPlUL )
The dangers of disorder were also highlighted by 40 something Daily Telegraph writer Graeme Archer who wrote about moving out of fashionable, though impoverished, inner city zone Hackney, directly as a result of this summer’s riots.
“I walked home with the taste of fear in my gullet that night, through a swirl of boys whose eyes seemed almost inhuman, coolly appraising potential victims like a banker picking out a tie,” he admitted.
“What happens when interest rates rise? When those who remortgaged endlessly in the boom years find they can’t afford their home – people who look like you and me, who currently sit quietly when rioters take over the streets, and look away when drunks vent their frustration through racism,” he asked.

Both newspapers’ nihilistic concerns matched the bleak assessment of US survivalist bunker corporation Vivos who for years have been selling expensive spaces in their network of underground fortresses designed to resist Armageddon generally and anarchy in particular.
2012; Kris Menace: Don’t Talk to Me about Dubstep! (interview)
Kris Menace (click for more)
According to the Mayan Calendar the world (or at least civilisation) is due to end cataclysmically on December 21st 2012. With economists and futurologists also almost all predicting a year of upheaval, Skrufff asked a bunch of our favourite DJs and personalities for their predictions for 2012; both musically and apocalypse-wise . . .
Kris Menace: Don’t Talk to Me about Dubstep! (interview)
“Everybody is talking about dubstep. Dubstep here, dubstep there. By the way, what’s the difference in it from garage or 2step? So word on the street in the UK is that this will be the main thing for 2012, even on the radio.”
Laughing, (‘I personally don’t care, I’ve never followed any hype and always did what I liked; which is maybe why I’m not the hottest shit on Earth”), German tech-trance-house star Kris Menace is the first to admit he’s no fan of dubstep, however much the UK adores it.
“I think most people wanna’ always listen to nice and understandable music,” he insists, “instead of following these media created hypes.”

Judge Jules’ Cloudy Crystal Ball (interview)
Though he started studying for professional law qualifications over 5 years before announcing his Radio 1 departure several weeks back, Judge Jules insists he’s far from confident about predicting the future; at least musically.
“I really struggle with musical predictions, since dance music has a slow evolutionary path which doesn’t comfortably lend itself to changes that are definable by calendar years,” he says.
“As regards to what I think will happen to club-land: at least in the UK, I can be more specific,” he qualifies.
“Right now the independent clubbing sector of owner-operated venues with low overheads seems to be prospering, whereas the monolithic leisure-chainowned multiple venues business model seem to be struggling,” he notes.
“In my view, this is a good thing,” says Jules, “because McDonalds-style clubbing is a long way from what I’m about.”

Alan Braxe Pissed About Pissing Claim

French house star Alan Braxe has responded angrily to claims he urinated on stage at San Francisco’s Club DNA last week after the venue accused him of ‘pissing on our back-wall curtain instead of using the restroom which is twenty feet away’ in the middle of his performance.
“After his set, when we had tossed him out, he was aghast that we chose not to let him back in. We said that we’d be happy to let him in if he paid us what it was going to cost to have the curtain cleaned. He declined,” said Club DNA’s official blogger.
“Also he threatened to sue us. “For what?” I inquired. “Because I wouldn’t come out and talk to him,” Barry tells me.” (http://bit.ly/twL6DN )
“I want to personally address the rumors that are going around various online media and press, in which I am accused of “pissing on a back-wall curtain” during a DJ set in San Francisco. Firstly, these rumors are FALSE,” Braxe responded on a statement issued via Facebook.
“I DID NOT and WOULD NOT ever urinate on or damage a venue’s or anybody else’s property. The accusation of a “bladder problem” is also false, and offensive!”
“This personal attack on my nature and artistic image is distasteful, hurtful and it is something that I will be taking very seriously,” he added. (Facebook; http://on.fb.me/v2xQD9 )

I was just marveling last night that there were a few years of our operation here before we knew about Spill Magic. It’s kind of hard to even fathom that. These days, we buy it by the 55 gallon drum . . .”)
