Year 808 (DCCCVIII) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar.
Ricardo Villalobos (born 1970) is a Chilean-German electronic music producer and DJ. He is well known for his work in the minimal techno and microhouse genres, and is one of the most significant figures in today's minimal techno scene.
Villalobos was born in Santiago, Chile in 1970. In 1973 he moved to Germany with his family to escape the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who had seized power that year.
When Ricardo was around 10 or 11 he started to play conga and bongos. Though he loved music, he could never see himself as a musician.[citation needed] He began making electronic music in the late 80s. From a very young age he has been a big fan of Depeche Mode, even following their tours around Europe to listen to them.
Villalobos began to play his music at parties while he was studying at university, but this was only for his own enjoyment. He started a label, Placid Flavour, in 1993 but this was unsuccessful. His first record was released on the German Playhouse label in 1994 and he began DJing as a professional in 1998.

Seven in the morning
Sunlight on the ceiling tells the time to wake up
But we're already soaring
Through the morning routine, routine
And I'll get away with memories of you
Get away with memories of you
Eleven in the morning
Pause to taste the air and watch the trees sway slowly
Smoke is rises higher
Pain feels burning fire, fire
Just around the corner
And I wonder
Will we ever get back to the summer
Like all the ones we had when we were younger
I know if we keep driving then we'll get there
Back to friends were summer never ends
Never ends
Seven in the evening
We light the fire with our friends and swim under the stars
Work comes in the morning
But you know we don't care, don't care
Life's never been so perfect
And I wonder
Will we ever get back to the summer
Like all the ones we had when we were younger
I wonder will, will we ever get back
Get back to everything we love
And I wonder
Will we ever get back to the summer
Like all the ones we had when we were younger
I wonder will, will we ever get back
D- d- d-j put me that 808 on your drum. (on your drum)
(gotta get my baby back, yeah)
(baby if you're listening, it's from me)
Calling my request for about the hundredth time.
Dj, mr. dj tryna get you on the line.
Girl you heard this word before so I don't mean to keep you.
But I never felt this, that's how I know my girl's a keeper.
Baby I made you so mad, said some things I can't take them back (oh oh oh)
I know I messed up so bad, tell her I'm feeling so sad.
Please could you help me with that? (oh!)
Dj drop me a beat and put that 808 on it.
I'm sending a message to my baby.
Said she's finished with me but she gotta know I'm hurting.
And I think that she listens to this sta-sta-tion.
Gotta get her back on this track so please.
Would you put that 808, put that 808 on it.
Take her back to the days when we was falling in love.
Dj put me that 808 on your drum (on your drum)
Heard her shoes walk out the door, it was just about 8:08.
She told me she was up and done and I should've made her stay.
I just let her go, grab that remote turn on the steelers.
She jumped ont he a26 to the 95 and now I'll never see her.
Oh no - no I can't take that back, I know I messed up so bad.
So I need just to special this track.
Dj drop me a beat and put that 808 on it.
I'm sending a message to my baby.
Said she's finished with me but she gotta know I'm hurting.
And I think that she listens to this sta-sta-tion.
Gotta get her back on this track so please.
Would you put that 808, put that 808 on it.
Take her back to the days when we was falling in love.
Dj put me that 808 on your drum (on your drum)
[Plies:]
I know for hurting you baby, god gon' punish me.
I shouldn't of played with your heart cause you were too sweet.
I wasn't ready to settle down, I was too street.
I was a sexaholic, I was too weak.
All of the promises I made you, I couldn't keep.
I was too whorish for you, you deserved better then me.
Get married, raise a family, how it's supposed to be.
But getting money, chasing women got the best of me.
The first time that I saw her, I can't forget those songs.
Thought I could live without her, now she's just all I want.
I miss the way she kissed me, I think about it everyday.
Everytime I turn on the radio and hear that turn away.
Dj drop me a beat and put that 808 on it.
I'm sending a message to my baby.
Said she's finished with me but she gotta know I'm hurting.
And I think that she listens to this sta-sta-tion.
Gotta get her back on this track so please.
Would you put that 808, put that 808 on it.
Take her back to the days when we was falling in love.
Dj put me that 808 on your drum (on your drum)
It goes left to right, left to right!
You got me... your body, calling me,
Now why won't you come closer baby cause I can barely see!
You know what you mean, girl you're my fantasy,
I'm really loving the way you fit in the jeans.
The way she move her body got me go, go,
A couple of drinks baby and we go with the flow.
Walking back and forth, I'm ready to explore,
Before the lights gonna come in, we gonna drink some more.
Now here we go...
Back and forth...
It's getting serious!
I wanna see you blow like some thunder!
[Chorus:]
Drop it to the floor, let me see it, make it, make it go
Blow it like a 808,
Blow it like a 808!
You're moving around just like a tornado! [x2]
Let me see you drop it to the floor!
You drop it, drop it to the floor,
Let me see it, make it, make it go
Blow it like you need a...

She's talking about a common enemy,
Looking at her lips, twisting her hips,
So I could say... momma twist my...
She put one show,
You know I like them fast,
Baby let's go!
Like an 808!
I got a... now she's free, free!
Back to the crib, and I'm a show you I'm a freak,
Girl, I'm a take my time, and do it real slow!

Back and forth for...
