1.  Bronski Beat – C’mon! C’mon!

Sometimes I pull these 12″ singles because I’m hoping that dub mix or instrumental will give me something to work with.  I honestly can’t remember if the B Side does anything for me but I love this era of album art.

2.  Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force-Renegades Of Funk

1984 in full flavor with futuristic sounds.  Renegade Funk with the Renegades Chant on the Bside (Hell yea) Be sure to listen to the breakdown at 3:08 on the video it’s simply delish.

3. Bassix – Pump Up The Mo Town

A frightening mega mix called PUMP UP THE MO TOWN a medley of Uptight, Going to a Go Go, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, Same Old Song, Tears of a Clown & Grapevine (I heard It Through).   No, not the original songs but they’re redone.  Wow…just…wow.

4.  Splack Pack – Scrub Da Ground

This is an essential, but just a drop in the water, of my Miami Bass collection.  Sure, I’m bragging.  With music like this, who wouldn’t brag?  Here’s the video but for some reason the sound is complete & utter shite.  More visuals, less talk.  It’s my basic brain chemistry…so watch.

5.  J.J. Fad  - Be Good 2 Me

Aw JJ Fad getting all grown stepping into the 90’s away from thos 80’s beats and putting out this single exec produced by Eric EAZY E Wright and produced by Yella & the Arabian Prince.  This single also has a song called Back to Compton on it.  I don’t know if these ladies are from there or not…I mean honestly, I have no idea.

Here’s a trip around the world with my latest podcast (note:  this is not my MIX…it’s my radio show) showcasing all sorts of knock knicks & doodads bassic beats & ambiento-sounds.  Yea I just made that up.

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…

So the other night I threw on a scarf & some sunglasses & went on Chatroulette.com .   To give a quick rundown to the uninitiated it’s a video/chat site where you’re randomly paired with strangers.  I honestly don’t suggest people with a weak internet heart go there but I have a pretty strong filter and of course, sunglasses and scarves to protect me.  Here’s a few people that I met (You can also head over to the flickr set where there’s more description & I’ll probably end up adding more)

Chinatown tonight is gonna be packed on the Gin Ling Way with plenty of quality events & people I respect.  I like the idea of us all pushing forth the awesome & cause at the same time, crossing over and being LEGIT.   First off  our event is in the NO BS vein which is my heart and soul of SOLID music, TALENTED people and honestly…NO BULLSHIT.  WHAT A  CONCEPT.  Seems crazy?  It’s not.  Simple and to the point.  I don’t believe in over hyped nonsense I stick to quality and deliver.  Sound good?  Well then fucking show up.  No RSVP.  No Cover.  What do you want me to wrap it in a pretty package and make it nice for you?  Sorry.  This dancefloor is for sweat not your padded problems.

Also in a not too far away land (right around the corner) is Welcome Hunters & PROJECT WHITE TSHIRT

Welcome Hunters will be hosting the opening reception of Project White T-Shirt  at 8:00 pm TONIGHT til 11.  Project White T-Shirt is curated by Triple-Major to support Designers Against AIDS. 31 designers were asked to transform and redefine the classic white t-shirt.  Triple-Major will turn Welcome Hunters into a simulated laundromat with washing machines, clothes lines and laundry supplies.

So if you come by don’t be shy even if for a few minutes in eternity, reaching out for a hi five or hug & some type of connection will make you feel better anyway and give  something back your presence, your awesome & commitment to the dancefloor.  BIG HUGS SERIOUSLY & BEYOND.

SEE YOU THERE

This is my latest comic:  a collection of drawings I did from day to every other (or so) day over a three month period.  At the end of the day I would sit down and try to draw or write the first thing that stood out for me about that day.  Essentially these are moments from my life displayed as honest as I was feeling at that time.  If you’d like a copy it’s only $5 which includes shipping.  If you’re overseas just drop me a line here & we’ll figure out it out.  Sound good?  Then…

*NOTE* Shipping on this product is free & the comics will be shipped within 1 to 2 weeks

Thanks so much for supporting what I love to do.  Below are a few magical “social networking” buttons to share the news.  I really appreciate it…  Sincerely,
