So people do listen to my mixes. Awesome! For some reason they're mostly European – Polish, Czech, Belgian, German – and drum'n'bass fans. So a great big international 'hello' to whoever's visiting from these countries! Remember kids, Malaysia is located in South-East Asia and is that much larger country above Singapore!

Speaking of South-East Asia, did you know robots from this part of the world are evil? Yeah, we be skull laser-firing, graviton hammer-throwing, shadow blade-wielding robots bent on world domination. WTF am I talking about? I'm talking about the new G Gundam series. Apparently sometime in the future, gigantic robots will determine the fate of the universe by battling it out through a series of martial tournaments. You know, like American Idol.

Anyway, these robots come from all over the world and that includes, you guessed it, South-East Asia. Malaysia is part of the league of enemy Gundams and is proudly represented by the Skull Gundam. At this juncture I would like to give credit to the Gundam creators for their immaculate depiction of what a robot from Malaysia would look like. Why? Checkit – the Skull Gundam is made from Gundarium alloy super ceramic composites and rare metal hybrid multilayered materials. Not only that, it's equipped with cool weaponry like Skull Burns, Skull Lasers and Melt Liquid (for melting liquid – people do that in the distant future). Yet, despite all the high-end technology and immense amount of resources at our disposal, the best we can come up with is a robot that looks like a malnourished ape that forgot its sarong. Malaysia Boleh indeed.


You tailgate my car? I kill you!
You litter on the street? I kill you!


Here's news for Singaporeans – you're evil too! I have to say your robot doesn't look any better than mine, but at least you're fully-clothed. And you have six arms. Other outlandish favourites of mine include representatives from Spain, Holland (this will blow you away) and Kenya.

In other local news, Malaysia recently switched to a self-assessed income tax system, which I haven't completed myself. Not that it matters anyway; I don't earn enough to be taxed in the first place. That's a great way to advertise myself over the Internet. I'm single – but poor.

Did ya miss Four Tet's mix on The Breezeblock last week? That's wack* man. But here at Shtikman.com we be a step ahead of things. So here to save y'all is the MP3 of the show. Yeah, so you've got Streambox too, but I've done all the hard editing work for you so don't front. Nice mix, starts off great but gets okay towards the end. While you're at it, have you peeped Mass Distraction Sessions Vol 7? Don't sleep on it.

Fo shizzle.

*Not the mix, but the fact that you missed it.
