There’s a mix to be heard….check it.

It’s early Tuesday morning and here I am writing some stuff….. I honestly don’t know what to do with these blog things. The truth of my life as a dj is not always what people out in the world expect. Sure there are moments that appear to be glamourous to an outsider looking in. It’s kinda like those “A-list” celebrity parties in those houses in the hills that all these people think they wish could attend.  The allure is merely the exclusivity factor.  The parties themselves are just parties….the “A-listers” are just people, the music is just music, and the house, although pristine and sometimes a piece of art, is simply property. None of it defines anything or anyone really; not in my eyes at least.  Now if the exclusivity is what draws people to these events, maybe I should be remaining more elusive. I do that already in my life.  I share different fractions of myself with many different people.  I’m not sure any one person gets the whole picture and that is fine with me.  But then what do I blog about? What do I share with you? My truth is this: there are two relationships that mean more to me than any other relationships in my life. One is my relationship with ever flowing energy of the universe, the other being with my son.  I love what I do. I love music. I am completely passionate about mixing and creating and putting smiles on people’s faces through sharing it. Yet I know in my core that doesn’t define me.  I’m merely here on this earth to bring harmony to all that is around me.  I’m human, and because of this I falter at times.  Mostly it’s in relation to women, but thats just my story.  My goal with all of this music business stuff is to be with my son again. Thats really it.  I love music enough to do it for free, but i’m doing all I can to “make it” just to have him back living with me again.  That’s the real.  That’s the most important thing for me. Him and I are like the same person and our bond is unbreakable.  I miss him dearly.  So this hasn’t been my usual stoic “I’m doing this and that” blog. It’s just where I’m at and what I’m feeling right now. Hope you have a beautiful week

Been busy lately. Bias24 and I just finished a 4 song remix ep for Kaya Jones which is due for release in the next. Included will be the remix, the extended play, the dutch refix (hopefuly) and a brain smashing dubstep remix UNAFKTD style. Really looking forward to getting our sound out there for you.

I just got back from playing a box.net event in San Francisco with Third Eye Blind. They were fun to watch. The singer graced the stage barefoot and talked to the ladies in the crowd with a sense of entitled arrogance. Gave me a little laugh.

I returned home late Thursday night completely exhausted. Friday I played my usual set at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. That spot cracks me up. I’ve never seen so many Bentley’s, Rolls’, or Lambo’s in one driveway; pretty ridiculous. Lots of rich dudes, high priced women and a tranny. Just keepin’ it real.

Saturday day I was off and running early, getting ready for Supperclub that evening. It was off the hook as usual and I got to share the tables with DJ Reflex. I spun the dinner set as well which was themed prom night. I played all those nostalgic 80′s jams I grew up with, making people smile. I never did get that slow dance though….you know who you are…..

Sunday I spun a lil’ somthin’ somethin’ at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. That place is rad. My bell Hop guy also happened to be friends with these people that specialize in the acquisition and restoration of old Chevy’s. Definitely got that dudes number so I can get the hook up on that 59′ El Camino I’ve been dreaming about.

Tomorrow Bias24 and I are going to start on a remix for Fitz and the Tantrums…. Should be completed by early next week and then onto Halos.

I’m actually falling asleep at my computer right now…..pretty awesome… Imma continue the story tomorrow…

Night all

Crazy weekend for me. Did myself a lil sidebar action. Interesting crowd as usual. Music was neat. The staff is awesome.

Worked on Kaya Jone’s new single “Boyfriend”. The original has a real swing beat pop feel to it and bias24 and I gave it some UNAFKTD love. Its transforming itself into a anthem style progressive house track with a tempo change dubstep outro. I got to hear some of it on a big system this weekend and it HITS! Can’t wait for the release!

I had a lil’ party at my house this weekend. It was crazy… 2 bands, 1/6 of Fishbone, Dj MICHAELIS, BIAS24, lots of alcohol n’ stuff, strippers, girl on girl makeout sessions in a coffin, girls on the pole, putt putt golf, hot tubbin’, sharpie pen art on drunk passed out people, fireworks, tattoo’n, body odor, orgies (nate and friends), and last but not least….Jihad (our dog) eating a hot dog out of a drunk, unconscious guy’s ass which was also of course filled and covered with mustard and ketchup…… The LAPD finally showed up at 5am, not for the noise factor, but because they were concerned about the “ketchup in the ass” guy getting hypothermia from being in the front yard on a couch all night. This is how we do it in hollywood. I love my home, I love my friends.

Headin into the studio to work on the dubstep portion of Boyfriend. Also gearing up for Sidebar and Supperclub. This weekend is gonna rock. Check out my twitter for the pics of this past weekend’s madness.

Have a beautiful week my friends

Starts off with spinning at SideBar in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel…I always like playing this spot because the vibe is kinda chill and kinda not, but it gives me the freedom to challenge myself and play things that are new or unfamiliar. It’s just 4 hours of putting musical puzzle pieces together in the smoothest way possible.

Saturday night I’m playing Supperclub Los Angeles….If you read my blog you already know how I feel about that joint. I’m playing with Carlo Astuti. Seems like a good dude….but I’ll let you know Monday hahah. I can’t wait to destroy that place….

As soon as I finish destroying Supperclub I’m jumpin’ in the Jag to head up to San Francisco. I’m playing in SF Sunday evening from 11pm-4am. It’s gonna be off the hook. Imma get video of this whole weekend and post it on Monday.

On a production end, I’m working on a remix for Kaya Jones, Halos, Megadeth and more…

See you soon

I got to spend some time with my boy this summer which was rad. He’s seriously the coolest kid I’ve ever met and I’m so proud of everything about him. Each moment with him was pure joy and saying good bye and sending him back to his mom was truly heartbreaking….yet motivating. I love my art, and so much of my drive for success in it is inspired by wanting to spend more time with my boy and having the means to do so…. So there’s a lil introspection on the personal life of me.

On a business standpoint, opportunities are coming at me from all directions. I finished up that 311 remix with my boy bias24. It came out sick. Nick was super stoked about it and we got invited to go to their show this Sunday, August 21st, in Santa Barbara. I’m also working on remixes for Kaya Jones and Halo as well… thinking about a high energy club banger for Kaya’s hit single “boyfriend” and a moody dubstep vibe for Halos’ “Hekla”. Last night I got a call from Josh Villalta, the drummer from 36 mafia, saying Dj Paul from 36 wants to meet up to discuss workin’ on a track. So there I was sittin’ in my office on sunset blvd and doheny, across from Paul, thinkin’ “is this really my life today”. Its UNREAL. I never fathomed doing the things I’m doing. And I owe it all to getting out of my own way and tapping into something other than my own, limited, human power; to saying yes to opportunity no matter what I think or feel about it; to putting my best foot forward; and to being open in life to anything. My life is never a bore…

And….I’m moving into a house with a bunch of other musicians, producers, writers, and tattoo artists. They bought out all the properties around their house so we can make noise all day and night. Jacuzzi in the front yard, Putt Putt golf course round the property, tattoos on the second floor and more… Kinda dreamy right?

So its all happening. And I am grateful. As soon as I can post these remixes I will…..Hope you’re day is beautiful….Until next time…..
