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 people spread all over the sand, and ill be playing a 4 hour set into the sunrise. I cant wait.
Though i have to say i miss my mom...she is out in San Clemente California and i will be seeing her real soon.

Here are some producers i have been spinning here in Lima:
Anthony Nicholson
Ron Trent
Francois K
Little Louis Vega
Wagon Cookin
Blaze
Natural Rhythm
Deep House Souldiers
Carl Craig
James Toney Jr. Project
Odori All Stars
Blaza
Roy Davis Jr.
Hideo Tobayashi
Jazzy Jeff
Jombo Life
Next Evidence
Tokyo System...

Just to name a few

All my best, and keep doing what your doing.


Peace

Collage in Peru

Photo Courtesy of Mlle. Rockoto (Warming up the night for Felipe Salmon @ El Dragón, Barranco, Lima Peru) It was my first gig here in Lima, and the promoters and DJs welcomed me with open arms. I am being treated very good down here, and i own it to my beautiful Mlle. Rockoto for her support and vibes. Also special thanks to my friend Franco Gambini, and GM of the Dragón Rodrigo Wangeman. I will be playing on the 2nd and the 9th at the big club here in Lima called Gotica. I will be playing with Dave Caulluman from the U.K and another DJ from abroad as well. Look out for more pics and more dates.

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
