DISCLAIMER: I have a raw writing style. I have ADHD and this way of writing is the only thing that keeps me going. Please, please, please, please, please don't read this if you are appalled by dialect, drugs, poor grammatical structure, profanity, and or over the age of 29. I was going to say like 25-26, but I have a friend who is 28, so i'll give him a year to stumble upon this and read it. I love you. I mean to you, not just my friend, who's name is Keith Stephan by the way. Look him up on the face, he is doin' big thangs.

HUXLEY - Brian Doyle & Kyle Tatum. They are one of the freshest up and coming DJs/producers in the Buffalo, New York dance and music scene, which if you haven't know is somewhat of a pretty big deal. So ladies, look in your closet, find your most striking American Apparel dress, grab a pair of nice flats, call up o' text yo fellow female specimen and gay followers to tell em that we're off to soundlab fo Huxley emoticon emoticon. So guys, finish up your brew with your bros and/or lame beer pong game, check your facebook, see that all of the girls you want to take advantage of have their status as "Everyone go to soundlab fo Huxley tonight, " and go there at least at 11: 30 pm to rub your jean covered male reproductive organ in and around the female specimens' bodies to the dance remix electronica booty bumpin bass sounds of the duo, Huxley.

High School, oh High School - DRUGS! MUSIC! What more do I have to say. Tatum went to Frontier High School, which if you don't know is notorious for having one of the largest ratings of students to consume all sorts of narcotics, hallucinogenics, opiates, and methylenedioxymethamphetamines. Ok, that last one is supa de dupa long fo MDA, Ecstasy, Molly. AKA, the drug of choice among rave and dance party goers. Please, don't take it. It's bad fo yo brain and it makes music sound/feel phenomenal, thats right I said feel, as well as sexual relations and intercourse. But, enough about that. Basically these drugs were like an epidemic at Tatum's educational facilty, so he got a taste for good drugs and good music. Doyle, too got into not doing drugs at his original school, Orchard Park High School, and his momma and daddy dukes sent him to my high school, The Canisius High School. Might as well call it The Cannabis High School. He made friends, duh. But he made friends with this one kid who's dad owned a DJ service. Daddy Warbucks needed some mo heads to service sound to bar/bat mitzvahs, graduations, weddings, and wherever sound needed to served. So that's how the seed got planted in Doyle, if you will.

Canisius College - Doyle and Tatum enrolled at the prestigious private institue, located somewhere close to the overworked blood pumping heart of Buffalo, as first time incoming freshman in the fall of `08. I don't know Tatum's freshman story all too much, but Doyle really wasn't havin' it with his soccer-bro roommate his first year living on campus in the honors dorm, Dugan Hall. The guy was listening to too much Taylor Swift or some shit, constantly having his gf stay ova so they could have sexual intercourse like pygmy chimpanzees, and overall he was just unfair to Brian. Sounds like a douche bag, but I bet he has a family who loves him dearly. Anyway. In return, he chose to live with a random roommate fo the following semester. It was Kyle. They hit it off quite nicely, almost too nicely. I think they are cute together, really adorable. They are soul mates. Anyway one thing lead to another and they started sharing musical interest which lead to playing, remixing, and producing music. Electronica and Trance music, more specifically.

Starting to get legit - MONEY IS BOTH MONETARY VALUE AND TIME. And they spent a lot of it on all of the proper equipment, illegally downloading programs to their laptops as well as music, and thrice producing, remixing, and remastering tracks. Money can only go so far, it is the time you spend with the spent money that really makes the difference. Hours upon hours of "practice" as well "stage performance" had been the key to Huxley's vast improvement. They started spinnin' house shows, which turned into spinnin' at selective events like the Buffalo Fashion Show, which eventually turned into spinnin' at Buffalo's outrageous night life venues like Soundlab and Pure Nightclub.

Too legit to quit - Communist Party is a married DJ duo based in Buffalo composed of Jessica and Cam Rector. They got their shit together to say the least, by playing and organizing many events in and out of the Buffalo area. Check em out, oh and I just realized I am in the profile pic pretty weird, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=134304700471 . Anyway, Tatum messaged the Rectors via facebook some of their music; they listened to it, liked it, and asked them if they could be their managers. Ever since then Huxley has been booked for plenty of shows and festivals, including performing as the opening act for Black Eyed Peas member, will.i.am. Also, they have been currently sending music as well as their press kit to professional DJ, Steve Aoki, www.steveaoki.com. Aoki built his own record label, DIM MAK records, spoke with Doyle and Tatum, and is thinking about signing them to the label. Pretty big stuff for a group that has been together for little over a year.

I love you - Huxley, you guys are great! Thanks again for playing that private intimate show in my dining room last month. You guys are super nice, hard working, and very positive people. I see so much potential in y'all. Keep up the good work. And, thank you for reading this attempt of a piece on my friend's music group. Hopefully I did them a baby bit of justice. I love you.
