They say you can't go back. That you gotta let the past lay in the past. For the most part I agree with that. I am not big on the nostalgia sets for the most part. I rather play things that I feel represent me and what I am about in the now. But, every now and then it can be fun and boy was it fun this night. I was booked to play some classic trance after Kristina Sky and close out this party. The vibe was just electric and threw down some hits and some old favorites like "Skydive" and "As The Rush Comes". It was a great night and although it doesn't come very often, if you like that sound, make sure you find the next time I decide to play some classic trance on you.
Man, I need to get on the ball. Part of my 2016 hopes for myself is to keep consistent with my blogging and content on my site. I am not doing a good job. I have some back log to get through so please forgive me. Here is one them. This is my mix from the re:love day party at the end of August 2016. It was a great party, a little warm but the vibe was magical as you can tell from the pic above. I started off my set with some classic Ice Cube and then I get into that Sunday park party vibe. Take a listen and download that shit. Enjoy :)
I really have to get better at this blogging thing. I mean I have things to say and opinions to share but for some reason I just can’t find the time to actually put them down in blog style format. I am going to try and change that up. So expect a few over the next few days as I get caught up on all my recent live mixes.
So Alhambra has been a House music hot spot lately. With Revival happening every Tuesday and now Soulful Sundays holding court on the upstairs patio at Fronteras Mexican Grill on Main Street, it is a good time to be a Househead on the Eastside.
I recently played twice at Soulful Sundays with Steve Loria on both dates. This set is from the first date in early August. It was a great time with a packed floor and a great vibe. During the middle of my set I mixed in a little freestyle into my set as I could tell the crowd that was there would appreciate the mini flashback. So turn this out and get your groove on. Look for me to come back to Soulful Sundays soon.
I don't get to DJ very often back to back with cohort Jason Blakemore, so it is always a honor to do so. He and I started off in the LA underground around the same time in the early 1990's and we have played at so many parties over the years together that seeing each other was very commonplace.
One thing that wasn't commonplace was us DJing together. This is only the 3rd time it has happened in the 22 years we have both been DJing in the scene.
Frooty Loops was a fun show. Driving out to San Bernardino reminded me of all the times I used to DJ out at the Masterdome and The Hudson. I got there before Jason so I started off the set. He started around the 30min mark of this mix. We then went back and forth every 3 songs or so. It was a pleasure to DJ with man, JB! I hope to do it again soon. Hope you enjoy the set.
Live set from 2 of Los Angeles's most prolific underground DJ's. A rare back to back set captured at the recent event, "Frootyloops". Tracklisting to come.
