Last week I hit up DJ/Promoter Jasefrmoutrspace to ask him a few questions about his upcoming party on Saturday, futurejams & who does his always awesome flyers that I see around.  His interview is below…

♥How did Saturdays VS. party come about?

It started a month back after my trip to NY.  I was catching up with my friend Jacques Renault after seeing both him and Justin play.  After the party the three of us were talking about The Chase and Justin asked me when I was going to bring him out.  I’ve worked with Justin briefly before when I brought out Jacques.  In addition to NY, I’ve also seen Justin play in LA and have heard a few of his mixes, which I really like.  I thought that it would be great to have him play The Chase, and next thing you know, I’m back in LA planning the party.

So to make the party complete, since I had two rooms, I wanted to have Blackdisco host the upstairs.  I’m a big fan of the Blackdisco parties and I’ve been thinking of working with Kevin from Blackdisco for a while.  So I thought that this would be a good opportunity to work with some good friends and have a great party!

♥Who does the flyers/design for your nights?

One of my best friends, Jay.  He’s a talented graphic designer and artist, who heads up the art direction for The Chase flyers. Sometimes we brainstorm on ideas, and I can always trust that he will take my abstract concepts to another level.  He puts in a lot of time into the design of the flyers to give the people something fresh that you don’t always see these days.  Jay does all my graphics, he’s great to work with, and I love his artistic expression.

This party was a special edition with Blackdisco.  Kevin wanted to design the flyers, so we went with it, and the came out cool.

♥Any future parties you’re excited about?

I’m excited about all of them.  I get to bring my dj friends from around the world to play for me and share their music with everyone out there.

And since you asked, up next, I have Brennan Green coming out to play a private birthday party for myself that I’m really looking forward to.  Also, I’m excited to have the talented Woolfy play The Chase on July 4th, at The Mountain Bar.

Besides my monthly in Chinatown, I started a residency at the Avalon where I get the opportunity to feature some of my favorite djs.  I have Jacques Renault down for early August, and some other big names in the works for the end of summer that I won’t say too much about now.  There will be more info on my myspace page coming soon.

TICKETS ON SALE HERE

Just got the headsup from Ghostly peeps telling me about their 10 year anniversary here in LA WHAT!?  Ten years since Sam Valenti sat amongst 12″s piled to the ceiling in his Ann Arbor dorm room  and said “This is gonna happen dammit”.  Don’t quote me on that last part I totally made it up (not the 12″ piles tho).  Sam has been nothing but nice to me times ten esp that time in Vegas where he introduced me to some kid @ a magazine (Fader?) very kindly and they completely ignored me because they hate girls who dj.  Ok I may be making that part up too…but not the part where they looked right thru me like I was invisible paper mache:  TRUE.  C’mon bitches does it hurt to do a handshake?

See you Sunday…?

Last time I saw DJ Frane we were at the Beat Swap Meet kickin back at the bar while I lied about how much I spent buying records (I said I spent less).  This Wednesday he’ll be putting some some serious vinyl (yea I said it…VINYL) onto the magical turntables (he makes them magical) and taking us into a serious 5 hour eclectic journey where we’ve never been before (I guarantee this).  It’ll be a land of fewer parenthesis (I swear) and more exclamation points.  Here’s a couple

Read a review of his most recent release Electric Garden of Delights @ Prefix Mag .

P.S.  On a sort of random & separate note you should follow @PrefixMag on Twitter…let them know I sent ya!

Ran into (& met for the first time) Mr. Dj Renato at the Beat Swap Meet. I dug around the swap meet for a couple hours, found some bass & got a testosterone headache by the end (and spent a little over what I had planned). He was selling some boogie/soul & some hip hop upstairs. Either way he’s going to be at Funky Sole this SATURDAY which has moved itself to the Echoplex now.

My homeboy from FREEGUMS Alvaro put some serious ass jams in this new installment in his DANCE SERIOUS SERIES. I just made that last part up “DANCE SERIOUS SERIES” altho I may need to use that. I carry his tshirts…he’s one seriously original cat. He’s wearing some of em in the video. MIAMI BASED!!! I hope I get to see him when I head that way end of December. That’s that. (ADD HIS YOUTUBE)

My friend Frane was like “I’m going to this disco party” and I said “Yea show me the flyer” and he said “It’s in my pocket” which is perfect cause it’s a disco party and it should be all be IN THE POCKET. But he offered to find the “ELECTRONIC” one for me so here it is.

This Wednesday.
