On a big bag of whimsy and a bucket of sheer will I put together my first showcase down at SXSW 2007. The Peacock Lounge approached me late 2006 to throw a party at their lovely venue so I (literally) sat down and wrote a list of everyone I wanted on my dream showcase. EVERYONE I wanted said YES. What a dream. The lovely Sarah Cass documented it & we all lived it.  Here’s a few photos & the full gallery is over here

Interview w/ Jasefrmoutrspace + SATURDAY The Chase vs BlackDisco @ The Mountain Bar

l_0ffbe781595546c28aaf5fe0d7d7861f

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.

Air Slap & Imaginary Lights

Last night I went to the Kimmel show for the second time. The last show I saw was on their cockfueled adventures of Eagles of Death Metal.   This time MSTRKRFT was slated to perform along with rumbles & rumors of other people.  It turned out Noreaga & Isis accompanied them onstage…the latter whom I hadn’t seen since she was slated to perform at my SXSW party in 2007 in Thunderheist.  I kept my cameraphone closed once we hit the green room cause the signs politely told you not to but I promise you the imaginary photos of the banana samosas & sweet potato fries looked ravishing.  I got a few afterwards…don’t you love my photo skillz?
lightsofflightson

The green room is alway an adventure of exhaustion mixed with ego & pure indifference.  Okay I don’t really mean that the Green Room is a land of aplenty!  But honestly this Green Room was fun I think Kimmel is just smart as fuck or someone working for him his.  The catering was good, the place was laid out right and they had pinball machines…okay they weren’t plugged in but WHATEVER!  They were there.  Overall it was relaxing…the bartender was very nice & wanted me to drink.  Wait…maybe that’s his job.

Either way once we got carted out to see the band we heard a quick soundcheck and it was refreshing to hear sounds over friggen million dollar soundsystem  (I’m totally ballparking that number).  I’ve gotten so used to shitty when I actually heard beats properly displayed I got PSYCHED.  The video is below and you can see me slap the air around 2:47…and in the start (on the left) giving a double chaka brah*.  XOXOXO!

*Yes it’s “Chaka Brah” instead of “Shaka Brah” because I believe in the Church of Chaka (I feel for you)

leave your green room memories behind…and comment

10 Year Ghostly LEFTSIDE

la_ten_yr_400TICKETS 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…?

it’s my girls bday…
