DOY! (a sci fi thriller written by David Charles Kramer)

  DOY! A Sci-Fi Thriller Prologue — The Great Welcome History remembered it as The Great Welcome . It began with fire. Or at least... that was what the world believed. News feeds showed burning skylines. Collapsed hospitals. Exhausted families carrying children through snow. The Dominion of Varkos and the Republic of Nareth appeared locked in the bloodiest war of the century. Their presidents denounced one another. Their flags burned on television. Their soldiers exchanged fire across shattered borders. The world watched. Then opened its doors. America. Europe. Australia. Japan. Nation after nation welcomed millions of refugees escaping the conflict. Most were exactly what they appeared to be. Parents. Teachers. Mechanics. Children. People whose lives had been destroyed by forces beyond their control. But hidden among them... ...was a tiny network of carefully trained intelligence operatives. Not enough to change the statistics. Just enough to disappear into them. The war had nev...

DREKDOM (a science fiction short story by David Charles Kramer)

  Book One: They Ain't No Angels Opening Quote "They got their wings clipped... ...but don't worry. They ain't no angels." No one remembered who first said it. Every child knew it. Every doctor repeated it. Every parent accepted it. PROLOGUE Before History Long before aircraft. Long before kings. Long before maps. There were the Dreks. The Dreks were not human. They looked almost human. Almost. They possessed enormous crimson wings supported by reinforced bone that grew directly from the spine. Their anatomy was magnificent. Their psychology was alien. Human beings lived through emotion. The Dreks did not. Medical texts described it simply: Different nervous system. Where humans felt empathy... Dreks calculated outcomes. Where humans grieved... Dreks analyzed loss. Where humans panicked... Dreks assessed probability. Fear existed. Love existed. Loyalty existed. But none of them felt the way humans described them. Many Dreks sp...

The Bay Area Mobile DJ Renaissance: From Daly City Garages to the Center of Nightlife - written by DJ Buddy Holly (David Charles Kramer)

The Bay Area Mobile DJ Renaissance: From Daly City Garages to the Center of Nightlife written by DJ Buddy Holly (David Charles Kramer) In 2026, some of the Bay Area’s most vibrant nightlife doesn’t wait behind velvet ropes. It arrives in a van, rolls out of road cases, and turns almost any space into a dance floor. The modern mobile DJ is not tied to a booth or a venue. They show up as a complete performance system — sound, lighting, music, personality, crowd control, and production in one. What began decades ago in Daly City garages and Filipino-American mobile DJ crews has evolved into one of Northern California’s most flexible and influential forms of nightlife, especially after the post-COVID contraction and downsizing of many traditional club spaces. To understand how this happened, you have to look at where the culture began — and why the Bay Area became the perfect incubator for it. A Culture, Not a Service: The Roots of Bay Area Mobile DJing Mobile DJing in the Bay Area has al...

🎧 The Golden Era of Funky Hard House: When DJs Controlled the Night and the Dancefloor Moved as One (written by David Charles Kramer aka DJ Buddy Holly

  🎧 The Golden Era of Funky Hard House When DJs Controlled the Night and the Dancefloor Moved as One There was a window — late 1990s into the early 2000s — when house music hit a perfect balance of groove, grit, and unfiltered joy . It wasn’t corporate. It wasn’t algorithmic. It wasn’t boxed into micro‑genres. Born out of Chicago house, West Coast rave culture, and crate‑digging DJ traditions, it became something uniquely its own. It was funky hard house — a sound built in record shops, refined in warehouses, and perfected by DJs who trusted their instincts more than any BPM counter. πŸ”₯ The Sound: Funk Meets Force Funky hard house lived in a rare sweet spot: harder than funky house funkier than Chicago hard house more soulful than L.A. hard house more playful than techno more driving than disco It was a hybrid , and that’s why it worked. The sonic DNA: chunky, compressed kicks rolling, rubbery basslines disco and funk guitar chops chopped vocal stabs filtered loops acid lines and...

MORE DAVID THAN DAVID: Impostor Containment Protocol Activated (fiction written by David Charles Kramer aka DJ Buddy Holly)

MORE DAVID THAN DAVID Impostor Containment Protocol Activated 1. OPEN — “More Human Than Human” White Zombie — “More Human Than Human” plays low in the background. Neon flickers. Bar half full. Nobody really paying attention. The riff creeps in—dirty, mechanical. A voice from the side of the room: “You ever notice… the fake ones always smile first?” Another voice: “Yeah.” “Too early.” “Too wide.” “Like they already think they won.” The kid walks in. Tall. Thin. Hoodie hanging wrong. Controller strapped to his chest like it’s a weapon. And that smile. “See?” the first voice mutters. “There it is.” He grabs the mic. Right as the beat hits— “Yo,” he says. “I’m David.” Bartender, without looking: “No, you’re not.” The smile doesn’t move. 2. THE PITCH Fluorescent lights hum. Government-gray room. Seehan Silverton stands at the front. Behind him— his crew. Trying to look dangerous. Failing. Slide: DJ INDUSTRY DISRUPTION INITIATIVE Click. Power gloves. Nintendo controllers. Motion rigs. “No m...

SECRET SUPERPOWERS OF THE DREKS: The Confession of Renata - written by David Charles Kramer aka DJ Buddy Holly

SECRET SUPERPOWERS OF THE DREKS The Confession of Renata  written by David Charles Kramer aka DJ Buddy Holly I am writing this knowing it will cost me everything. My name is Renata . If you’re reading this, then something slipped. Or I did. I don’t know which one means I failed. They call us Dreks . You won’t find that word anywhere. Not in records. Not in archives. Not even in systems that pretend to track us. We aren’t soldiers. We aren’t patients. We aren’t volunteers. We are assignments . They don’t officially call it anything. But we started using a word we weren’t supposed to. Alignment. The Installation It starts in the back. Not symbolic. Not spiritual. Physical. Upper spine. Shoulders. Scapula. Collarbone. Arms. Some of us—like me—it reaches the hands. You don’t feel it enter. You feel it settle . Like something heavy finally found where it belongs. At first, it feels like relief. Perfect posture. No fatigue. No pain. You stand straight and realize— you’ve never actually s...
