he said to me "that one is expensive"

Ran into (& met for the first time) Mr. Dj Renato at the Beat Swap Meet. I dug around the swap meet for a couple hours, found some bass & got a testosterone headache by the end (and spent a little over what I had planned). He was selling some boogie/soul & some hip hop upstairs. Either way he's going to be at Funky Sole this SATURDAY which has moved itself to the Echoplex now.

now that i'm realizing how many friggen ghettotech records i have

Erase the Time Mix on the The New Dance Show


Erik Travis Mix

I was going thru my records this morning to get some sense of organization and satisfaction from some of these crates. Instead of just organized into "What I'm djing now" and "What I'm not djing" I'm trying to get a little more SPECIFIC. Pulled out quite a few Databass and looked up some Erik Travis...that's how I found the above.

side sweet don't stop

remember when the internet first popped out its' baby myspace and you used to poke around and be free and talk to artists/musicians and not have this cloud of mystery and you didn't have unanswered emails from people that you respected because they were right there with you, developing themselves and fresh and new? well anyway le castle vania just wrote me and reminded me of that time with flashbacks of looking at how far he's come from when we/he/i befriended each other a few years back and the guy is L/E/G/I/T. plus he's going to be in my old hood Denver AND Coachella @ the So Sweet Records party...so y'all have more than one chance to see him:

the captain has invited you

Tim & Eric are going on tour. I saw their live stuff at the Troubadour 6 months ago or maybe more I have noooo idea at this point. One of the guys in their act (not Tim & Eric) invited me to the Rainbow Room and told me to ask for "The Captain" and they would lead me to his table (he said). Point is you have to go. If it's not sold out. And the dude who I dj'ed with on April Fools will be opening sir DJ DouggPound.

Teki just released a teaser clip for the upcoming video for Les Matins de Paris. Video concept by Camille Bovier Lapierre & Akroe. Full clip comes out in May! Add him on myspace...

the following is not a test

these pictures are from my favorite record store People's Records in Detroit. this store has increased my bass and miami collection by i don't know how many fold. many fold! they are so nice to me. once they called me and said they got some records in they knew i would like and they played them for me on the phone. everytime i'm there i walk out with 50-75 records. they hired someone to handpaint all of the 45 boxes. i love handpainted lettering...and the colors! perfect.
