This was fun night. I haven't DJed at the Majestic Theater in a couple of years. In fact it was the last Imagination Festival a couple of years ago. TTV Events did it again and did it well. They nailed down every detail to provide a great event to the Ventura area. If you live there and you missed it, well you missed out. It was a damn great time. I recorded my set (along with Jason Blakemore's as well. I am sure he will post his soon) and have it presented to you here. It was a really fun time and I hope my set captures some of that. Hope you enjoy.

I did this mix a few weeks ago for the Purgatory Radio show on Fnoob. Once again, this was recorded in one take with no pre-planning. I wanted to create a mix that was dark, driving but also added a little melody. I think it came out pretty good. I hope you think so too.

I was asked to provide a mix by LRCN for the DI.FM 16th Anniversary Progressive Special that was aired over the weekend of December 11th. Since I just got a new DJ Set up (another blog post about that soon), I was wanting to play with it a bit and took this as a opportunity to test out the new system. I don't really play progressive anymore (at least what people say is progressive these days) so I took a more melodic deep house approach. To me these sounds remind me of what progressive trance and house was in the 90's. Deep, melodic, atmospheric, etc. This is a great mix for a Sunday chill session. Check it out!

It only seems like yesterday when I was asked to DJ for my first time at this new Tuesday night House Club in Alhambra. Alhambra? I am from the area and although I know of some good venues in that part of town, none of them were know for quality House music. My how things have changed in a year. Now, this spot is going off and growing by leaps and bounds. I am super happy to be part of it. For the one year anniversary I DJed along side Eddie Amador and Charles Feelgood. The place was packed...to the point where we couldn't let any more people in. The vibe was just outrageous. It was just so much fun. My next time at Revival is in February of 2016 but you can be guaranteed that this spot is great EVERY Tuesday night with some amazing talent that is tastefully curated by promoter Jose Marin. If you haven't gone, make sure you check it out. It is certainly the place to be in Alhambra.

Seriously, San Diego has it going on. I have been to some great events there the past couple of years and it just keeps growing. There are some new players and promoters along with some of the SD veterans that are making some amazing progress in the scene down there. Rock The Discotek is one of the guys down in San Diego that is making some great things happen.
Zombies From The Underground was the 4th time, I think, that I played for him and when I walked into that warehouse, well a feeling of nostalgia washed over me. It was awesome. The crowd, the vibe, the sound. All of it. It just came together and created this perfect example of what proper modern day raving is to me. Loved it.
This is my set from that night. I played mainly some hard techno with a little classic thrown in for fun!
