MUST LISTEN

Last week I was casually picking up some records for my Saturday night gig in the Mission District. I was feeling vocals and light piano chord driven melodies. Sure enough, as Karmic as record shopping is for me; I came across this wonderful record that I connected with the second the percussive intro layered into the sweet pulse of the keyboard. Its a distant song with a forgiving message entwined within. The percussions were conga led with bongo slaps for the highs, and maracas sneaking around the back. The bassline is gorgeous and simple, dark driven and unique. Definitely forward moving, this song isn't static and running in place-its definitely a breath of motivation for the dancefloor, but its motivation is for the dancers to close their eyes and smile and thank god for music like this. Its feel good and the melody is electric guitar generated, though it can be imagined as a type of keyboard due to the sudden chops and muting between notes. The elasticity of the notes are what makes this song cry, its definately semblant of a confused genius taking a simple walk in the park watching people ride thier bikes by and noticing all the latin street musicians.

ARTIST: Deep House (Soul)diers

Initial recap of Collage Music @ El Dragon, Lima(Peru)

Last night was great at the Dragón. It started off a bit shakey because the turntable had not yet arrived, and i didn't pack allot of CDs for my set that night. I mean, they had the set up (CDJ1000s along with a brand new DJM 1000 mixer) and the friendliest staff. The guy who rents out the EQP to the club came up to me on stage and assured me that the decks were on the way. So i started off with the CDs and in 10 minutes the decks were being plugged in, seamlessly the music never stopped. I had so much fun, and the floor was on fire by 1am. By 2am everyones hands were in the sky when i closed up with Blaze's "Be Yourself". Special thanks to Love Monk for their shhh shhh tracks i got to play. Clean!!!! My next stop is GOTICA next friday. There i will be playing along with Felipe Salmon. He and i will be doing interval sets all the way to 6am, so i better get some sleep the night before. Lately sleep has been pretty tough due to my apartment being situated on

Dragon Review for 1/4/06

Well all I can say is that last night was brilliant. Even though it rocked on the 17th of December, last night there were no issues in the beginning. Im talking about equipment issues. On the 17th I showed up with a small batch of CDs and a full bag of records, and found no turntables on the stage...only CD players!!! The issue was resolved in a matter of 20 minutes, and i must say was a classy move, considering the in house DJ could just play the rest of the night in the hidden DJ booth. By experience i have encountered allot of shady promoters who would just do such a thing. Sam the equipment lender to the club took a cab home and brought back 2 technics and the show went on with a bang. Ill have some pics for last night. I just want to thank Christobal (Owner and operator of the Dragon) and Rodrigo (General Manager) for the bookings. I will be playing on the 20th at the other Dragon club located in Punta Hermosa Beach just an hour south of here. There should be around 500
