Hello gamers and lions!

It is again that time of the year when I can add another number to my age. Although I am really not up for much celebration. A lot of sad news hit me over the weekend and the beginning of the week.

My uncle passed away on the 18th of November. Suddenly he is no more. He was a hero to an entire generation growing up in Hungary and a founding member of the underground Radio station where he worked for free his entire life. Today is his memorial day on the radio station and you can listen to his voice from the archives and his amazing music sessions.

It is a Hungarian radio so you might hear some Hungarian you do not understand, but his recordings and music mixes were amazing.

Many people gathered at the site of a club called Corvintetö to honor the "Fater" or the "öreg"
He played his famous Rewind Parties for 18 full years every wednesday. This means hundreds of thousands of party people over the years. The club was always stufeed with about 400-600 people. MOst of the partygoers from them have moved to Britain, Germany and Canada. Almost nobody from his original fans is still in Hungary.

I will miss him deeply, and I really still can not believe that he had to pass away so early. If you want to know a bit about his life you can watch these documentaries.


After the bad news of my uncle I received the last picture of our old family cat before she had to be put to sleep.

Rest in peace Ribizli you will be missed.

Celebrating life because it is precious

As @selfhelp4trolls said it today:
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-leothreads-2cydrjygm

It is very common.

I wanted to invite you all to my birthday stream. It is just that I am not very in a celebrating mood. This does not mean I will not celebrate, life is short and can end at any moment so I am going to have an awesome stream.

There will be all things #watchandearn can provide and much much more. We will be going through a bunch of games including of course many of the popular HIVE games I am involved with.

We will be giving away a bunch of cool stuff! All you have to do is follow my Twitch account and participate in the official threadcast! The threadcast will be posted on inleo.io under my profile!

The stream will be embedded here and on the threadcast as well.
As soon as I go live you can see that on the small live sign in the corner of the player. Click on play and enjoy!

(Unsupported https://player.twitch.tv/?autoplay=false&channel=gaming4coin&parent=inleo.io) generator

Here you can chat with me directly from within inleo.io given that you have a logged in twitch account.

(Unsupported https://www.twitch.tv/embed/gaming4coin/chat?parent=inleo.io) generator

These embedding techniques are pretty cool and gives a lot of exposure to inleo. Since twitch will see it as a site that has streams of them embedded.

WEN?

You can find the start time of the stream in your local time here in my schedule:

https://www.twitch.tv/gaming4coin/schedule
For me it will be Thursday 23rd of November 9:00 AM CET (Vienna)

What can you win?

One of the coolest prizes in my opinion is this sweet #hivepunk called Leanna Mcgrath

But that of course is not all, just a little taste.

A bit of land maybe?

RULES You have to follow @splinternews and @solymi to be able to win. I am checking this! If you are not following both accounts I will draw another winner! No cheating no multiaccounting, please!
You have to participate in the activity threadcast to be able to be picked as a winner.
Everyone participating in the threadcast receives a ticket. The winners will be drawn at the end of the show.

It was a sad news in the weekend.

From the end of the 90s till mid 2000s, I partied a lot at events where he also played. For me the A38 the place where I can recall lots of parties where I enjoyed his music. Also amazing parties on festivals, especially, on smaller, better ones, SZIN, Hegyalja.

I didn't follow since a decade+, still bad. Lots of great DJs, underground musicians left in this year.

I found this interview with him, when I read about the sad news. It's from last year.

Palotai interview

I've been looking for mixes from him for the past few days, but there are very few of them shared on youtube from the stone age. Basically nothing from dnb parties.

Only some Tilos sessions and the unforgettable Abrak a Dubra.

I had abrakadubra on cassette :D and I have the CD too.
About a year ago I met him on the corner of the Mikszáth Kálmán tér, we walked to his flat went up had a beer and he played music he was researching. He spent about 6-8 hours daily just researching new music.
This interview shows how sad the situation in Hungary is rn.

I've been seeing this for more than 10 years, not just in music. And not only in Hungary, but throughout Europe. I call it modern version of soc-comc fascism... "várjuk hogy teljen az idő" and you hardly can leave.

I remember when I got to Fabric and Ministry of Sound in London for the first (and last) time around 2008-10, I had to say that the Hungarian places and parties were 100 times better (early 2000s) .

In the Dél-Alföld around 2000, it was difficult to find a month when Palotai was not playing somewhere, especially in summer. These places were systematically shrunk. Obviously, a lot of things went into this. Population decline, money, interests.

I've seen it for 10+ years, this too has been diverted in the direction of tourism.

The last time, 5-6 years ago, when I went to 'party' in Pest in the summer, I visited 4-5 places, they were full of foreigners, the music was crap, everything was terribly expensive, the atmosphere was repulsive. They were able to reach the western level...(Let's say I was completely surprised that in Pest in 1984, with cameras everywhere, how many big and small hordes were selling their shit on every street corner completely calmly.) Who and why would go out to have fun, even if they had the money for that... or what kind of parent the one who lets his child out into this legally/illegally constructed mafia-controlled night. I suppose, these also played a big role in the aging and declining audience.

I still have good memories of Palotai parties!

That your birthday celebration might have come with only good related emotions , instead of the mix one at the moment.
