Hey Everybody,

I scored myself another DJ Gig with our Persian friends, Hypernova, next week, Tuesday July 14th at the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC for the Iran Inside Out exhibition.

With all the craziness going on in Iran at the moment with the botched election and all, somebody figured that they should put on some crazy art show with artists from Iran. Well, the show at the Chelsea Art Museuem was already on the way, just so happened that the timing was a co-incidence. Anyways, I’ll be DJ’ing on the rooftop (i’m like the new U2) with open bar, once you get past the admission bits. There’ll be a panel with the artists involved in the exhibit taking place early on, or, you can just come for the party portion. Something tells me that I’ll have to creatively work in Flock Of Seagulls given the title of the event.

The Deets:
“IRAN SO FAR AWAY”

Tuesday July 14th
Open bar reception @ 6 pm
Panel Discusssion with exhibiting artists @ 7 pm

New York, NY 10001

Be playing a host of tracks from this month’s mix and I have new Miss Kitten Album, Bjork & Dave Gahan remixes that I may be able to drop a few of.

Got a gig coming up in a week in New York’s East Village. I’ll be dropping some beats via some un-eco-friendly plastic otherwise known as Vinyl. I‚Äôm leaving the laptop at home to drop the Industry‚Äôs best copy protection scheme devised yet.

I’ll be joining buddies Eric EQ and Tim Carter doing 45 minute sets/rounds all night long starting at 8 PM. Of most interest to you aside from supporting my vinyl addiction… Will be the 2 for 1 drink specials served up til 10 pm. Woot!

The vibe will be groovy funky deep retro and the trippier sounding, the better. No 80′s New Wave tonite folks, sorry.

Keybar located in the friendly East Village at:
E. 13th (btwn 1st Ave & Ave A)

1) Friday March 10th
Benny Blanco® & Joeski
Guest DJ set for Subkulture Crew @ Sin Sin / Leopard Lounge in the east village this coming Friday.
10 pm – 4 am
No Cover

(just mention benny blanco for subkulture party to get in)
Sin Sin located @ 85 2nd Avenue @ E. 5th St.

I’m ditching the laptop this evening to go “old school” for just one night. I’ve picked up loads of new vinyl overseas these past few months. See what’s been playing on my work’s iTunes share.

Top User Rated DJ Sets from February 2006

1. Benny Blanco®

2. Mike Rizzo

3. Diplo

4. Victor Dinaire

5. Roger-M

look at those stats! I can’t believe it  myself, granted, Diplo was only the real name I surpassed, but, still, a nice thing to see. March will prove to be much tougher to land a spot in the top 5, unless you can tune in and rate my set favorably, if you like it.

If anyone’s interested, i can pass on a hi-rez mp3 of this month’s mix, just hit me back. and.. thank you AOL.

We found out this week about some drink specials. 2 for 1 Cosmopolitans and $3 Bud Lights if yer into that sorta thing. This past thursday, i got really stinkin drunk, cause the previous owner of the bar came in and reconized Mark and I from eating at our favorite west village Korean restaurant, Doh Wa and said to the bartenders… “make sure you get these guys fuuuucked up”… so… needless to say. 4 shots were downed. and a heavy hangover for me on friday to trudge my way through at work. not fun…… the night before. fun, HELLS yea.

Bottom line. DEPTH CHARGE looks like it will shape up to BE the place to go for a thursday evening. we roll out the tunes circa 8:30 and blend on through the evening til it’s past yer bedtime. This next thursday, February 5th, we’ll have REDBOY as our guest, cause, Mark Flynn will be up in Boston. We haven’t officially made it official that we’ll be having guest dj’s for Depth Charge, but we want to see if the night picks up and then book accordingly.

Coming up in February… the kind people at Earthprogram have invited my hard drive and laptop to their new monthly event at the ever oh so eclectic.. Open Air bar in the East Village on FEBRUARY 20TH. the event is called RAZORS. The event will also feature pal.. REDBOY as well as ALLEN KEY, NICK CAIN & JOEL T. should be a hoot with these group of Nuttahs.
