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)

A few announcements….

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.

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.

WHEN DOGS ATTACK!

New mixes created and ready to be broadcast via AOL Radio for February 2006. This batch was originally taken from a 4 hour 23 minute mix session recorded in the pristine home studio conditions. With nothing on my mind but mixing. I had all afternoon alone to dedicate myself to mixin’ it up for 4 plus hours. liner notes:

I pulled together a mass of mostly techno and electro styled tracks over a week. My previous sets for AOL Radio had been more upbeat, more dance floor friendly style mixes with the exception of one being more mellow chillout one (The Bells).

This time, I really wanted to focus on a deeper, more techno oriented sound which I’ve been neglecting for quite some time. Some of the cuts are more peek and aggressive and the next moment, flip to the deeper side of things.

Here are the results….

My Mix will air between 1 am and 3 am this Friday night, but technically, it’s saturday morning. (11.11.05 friday night / 11.12.05 saturday morning)

This is HUGE for me. A nice bit of exposure across the lands here in the Tri-State area.
SO, THANK YOU Todd for hooking this opportunity up for me.

I think I only have one overlapping track from the mix I created for AOLRadio last month in this Newer Mix. With less “LIVE” gigs these days, this Radio outlet with many more listeners, is very cool in its own right. Harkens me back to the days aboard the Bridge of the QE2 on WZBC.
