exclusive interview of legendary Ricardo Villaobos. His theory about dreams. Interviewed by Julia Govor www.juliagovor.com juliagovor Video Tagir thetagirfilm.com
I used to be like that, especially in my 20's. Was always the last one up and begged people to stay up and not go to bed. Thing is, sleep is the single most important thing for your body. Without it, you're on a slippery slope for all sorts of ailments.
He doesn't have a way with words, and that's ok, I'm not expecting him to tell me the meaning of life, i never found his interviews fascinating: sober or not. He does however, have a way with music, and that's what matters here. He comunicates through his music, so if anyone wants to hear him speak coherently just buy a record.
It's hard for artists to explain how they look at life, why they make the choises they make and do the things they do. But they have other ways of showing you their world. Music is definitely his way of doing so. I love the guy! :) only good vibes :) x
And all he meant to say was that he prefers not to have to sleep.. Like some people don't like flying on an aircraft for instance.. Or maybe that's because they're scared.. I assume he's not scared of sleeping, maybe you can compare it to going to school. It's a necessity, but most of the time you would rather be somewhere else.
The puritan comments on this thread are ridiculous. Ricardo is an amazing DJ, has made brilliant albums and singles and is one of the most interesting artists in electronic music. What he does in his spare time is none of your business, get back to polishing your halos.
Some people just want robots mixing everything perfectly, djs needs character. Personally I love it when a dj makes a slight error and then fixes it, it's part of the territory.
problem is, he didnt used to get wasted only on his mspare/free time. he used to do it all the time, and most of the time he is working. i saw him fuck up many times. i come from brazil and people here they gave up on booking him cuz he always fuck up. i was working on a booking agency and got to work with him once in 2011. it was a horrible experience in many different ways, his set was suposed to start at 2 am but he was so damn wasted he couldnt play, he only started ad 6:30 am. dont get me wrong it was a magnificent long set, very dark and trippy, very different from the usual ricardo, i dont mind people using drugs to play and shit but at least be professional.
@@pedrao420 Thank you for this. I actually wrote this comment 6 years ago, my thoughts on this (and him) have evolved a lot since then. I've been to see him plenty of times, twice he didn't turn up (once for a big festival appearance in London, he was one of the main reasons I bought the ticket (they only announced his cancellation 1-hour before he was due to come on, wouldn't go to Junction 2 again either, for lots of reasons apart from that), and other times he was too wasted to play. I think part of his charm, if you will, was that he was on the same wavelength as the people he was playing to, but that has its minuses too, when you don't turn up for shows or can't play for people who've paid to see you, that's about being professional as you say. I've seen Laurent Garnier play as many times, just as interesting a DJ and never cancels or is too messed up to DJ. My opinion of him as an artist really changed during the pandemic, I know it could be argued that governments around Europe took a cautious approach to Covid, but it was unprecedented times, the people like him and others who played plague raves for dodgy promoters in Europe and Asia have nothing but my contempt (there was a lot of them, I don't buy their records or gig tickets anymore and never will). It's a shame, seeing Villalobos at Fabric was one of the dates I always looked forward to, he loved that space and the crowd would follow him every step of the way, but his general unreliability as a performer and his disregard for people during the pandemic mean I don't care anymore, even though I recognise that when he's really on form he's superb, it's sad but how I feel.
This is a bitter turning point I believe. I am somewhat disappointed in his opinion, since I thought he as a person and his music represent a higher consciousness and vibration. Everybody has fears and everybody knows that sooner or later you have to face them. What purpose does it have to constantly run away and hide from them? If you keep running away from your dark side or your shadow, your body will send you some severe signals that it is time to face those fears! You can not make your shadow disappear! It is a part of you! I wish you the best RV.
Nigga he has a lot in him just if he ceased to intoxicate his higher consciousness with drugs..... It's normal when a person gets ruined by drugs, our natural purpose getting ruined.... But that just says a lot about his previous life and the type of soul he is....
uummmm 80 percent of djs take drugs when they dj. its a matter of how often and where. in germany, its expected to be cracked out and awake for 4 days.
he is an artist. and sorry, most artist, musicians, AUTHORS, basically creative people tend to not think like mainstream society. they usually dont care at all what others think. as far as obligigating you. entitled much? and you CAN make the shadow go away if you fucking sleep! sleep deprivation is a gnarly thing on its own. and becomes its own drug. if you are mentally stable. i mean VERY. some, can get away with this for a while. others are just pure messes and hedonist and that is the point. this is not taylor swift. if you are a medical person, hello? hes skecting out hard now because he hasnt slept because hes been taking something to stay up. and not hes at the phase where the comedown starts. you should know this. anyone who does simulants should at least have some sort of discible. eat, drink, sleep, and to sleep take SOMETHING to go to sleep. klonopin works very well.
There's a lot of petty, vitriolic and largely unsubstantiated comments regarding Villalobos in this thread. He's human and has his fragilities, errors & demons as humans do. As zoics06 rightly captured, 'he speaks through his music'.
i used to love speed and would stay up days and party. but it will make you psychotic eventually. havent touched it in 20 years. but ive been in this state. its a scary, sad place to be. i hope he "wakes up". or has
Oh yeah, that state of mind and a body, if you stop doing something literally like that swings from side to side every second you'll get kicked from that state to desire to sleep 😎
even though his common sense about sleep is well, not good. what he actually said made more sense than most people. the CRAZY ass shit ive seen from speed addled ravers in the 90s in california. and sometimes it was the same act of crazy. like hammering a hole in your wall looking for "hidden drugs". or worse the sketch game. which was if you saw a fellow dancer maybe having a bad trip, or in a bad state. say things to fuck with their mind, and see if you can make them really really scared. this would be funny to a lot of people.
well his djing is very good. he doesnt play the music he creates. thank god. but since minimal isnt really that exciting, emotional, or driving. you need to be on something to feel the frequencies and little things. its a groove thing. and also, very few do it well.
im sure he sleeps, he in a bad state here. not sleeping will make life very miserable, surreal, and make you anxious, paranoid and depressed. if lets say i was there in that interview above. and gave him some valium. a strong one. and demanded he slept, ate, showed. his answer would be a lot different.
Seriously what the he'll is he on about??? There's not a human alive who doesn't need to sleep. You may go around 10 days before you totally go insane! Leading up to that u mental capacity, body functions , energy levels all deteriorate rapidly. He wouldn't even be able to hold that Mic or drink after a few days. Why talk shit, as if saying you dont sleep makes you look cool, what is he 5!?
justification for an addiction. but like keith richards. and those people. some dont care. and are total hedonists. i personally lose my shit after 3 nights. and dont do that anymore.
dreams are 100% nonsensical, non-sequitur drivel. pulp for observing and never getting any meaning. the pursuit of dreams is the pursuit of non-reality. Art is the pursuit of realization.
You're exaggerating, yes, they are nonsensical sometimes but the rest of the times they show up as memories, hidden things waiting to be interpreted, etc etc.
Mas puesto k el sol,muchos se drogan,pero el la droga echa carne,pagas x ver un yonki trotando discos,levantando la aguja mientras suena el disco,se confunde y kita el disco k esta sonando y deja la sala sin musica,ahora criticar y decir k es dios...
Brilliant dj, a true legend, but that party lifestyle for decades has left him looking a bit of a mess these days, he looks like a drug addict, thin and unwell, and even more so in recent years since this clip was posted. Sad really, as he is incredibly talented.
equals psychosis. and it gets damn scary. seeing shadow people aint no fun. ffs if you party, at least take care of yourself. sleep, use valium if you cant come down. EAT. kids now should learn about why the scene died in nyc.

He even holds the mic like it’s an alcoholic beverage. Brilliant
He is subcounciously drinking
😂
He keeps trying to take a sip 😂

After 2 days sleep deprivation starts to get very weird.
@@futureskeletons66669 Indeed. Especially if you've done a whole cocktail of hard drugs.
Ricardo the philosopher.

He does however, have a way with music, and that's what matters here. He comunicates through his music, so if anyone wants to hear him speak coherently just buy a record.
spot on 👍
+zoics06 Excellent!

zoics06 Also, English isn't his native language.. That's the biggest culprit if you ask me.
And all he meant to say was that he prefers not to have to sleep..
Like some people don't like flying on an aircraft for instance..
Or maybe that's because they're scared.. I assume he's not scared of sleeping, maybe you can compare it to going to school.
It's a necessity, but most of the time you would rather be somewhere else.
Love this guy and his music since i was 13.
and now you are? His fav set?!
Have you ever heard the bass drop?
I kept thinking he was gonna take a sip of the mic.
The Boss!
"I prefer not to dream"
+Spencer Brown because he speaks german
+Syber Punk haha.

That's true, I don't know what Ricardo has been through but I really hope he accepts himself as a whole

Hey, another minimal techno dude so high he doesn't actually care what he's playing anymore as long as it has a kick. Well done.
He plays 90's House so that means amazing.
well his djing is very good. he doesnt play the music he creates. thank god. but since minimal isnt really that exciting, emotional, or driving. you need to be on something to feel the frequencies and little things. its a groove thing. and also, very few do it well.
You NEED to sleep ricardo. Dont avoid your traumas and shit.
im sure he sleeps, he in a bad state here. not sleeping will make life very miserable, surreal, and make you anxious, paranoid and depressed. if lets say i was there in that interview above. and gave him some valium. a strong one. and demanded he slept, ate, showed. his answer would be a lot different.
Gosh! I got sick while he's swinging.
Sleep paralysis?
Ricky ffs, have a sit down, have an Ovaltine and a biscuit. behave yourself.

Stop doing coke, get some sleep, wake up refreshed, face the real world in a new light, and get better at your sets cos they have been crap recently.
