Oscure and I - Live at Timeless Booty BBQ (08/20/17)

So this was the second time that Oscure and I have dropped a DnB set together. The first time was at Timeless in Dec 2016 and it was so much fun that we had to do it again. I am glad Jeremy from Timeless asked us to be a part of his Booty BBQ Park Party. It was a beautiful afternoon and a damn good time. Oscure and I have some big things planned for 2018 so be on the look out. But for now revisit that afternoon in the park where he and I dropped some DnB!

Live at Souful Sunday (07/30/17)

This was a great time. First of all it was 5 min from my house. Always nice to have a good time so close to home. Secondly it was at Havana House which is a cigar lounge and everyone knows I like to have a cigar now and then so being able to relax, have a drink and cigar and play some tunes is always ideal. The crowd was a lot of fun and I was able to play some things I normally don't play. During the middle of my set I ended up dropping the old school flavor. If you are a certain age you will dig this. Hope you enjoy.

Live at re:love (07/23/17)

On the same day as the Dub Sunday Park Party at Woodley Park, re:love was going on at the other side of the park. This is the first time I have ever DJed at 2 park parties in the same day. Both had solid crowds and vibes and for me it was great to play some Drum N' Bass and then turn around and play some House grooves. Truly a blessing. Throw this on, while at home on a Sunday morning and hopefully you will end up looking for a nice little Sunday spot you can get your groove on.

Live at Dub Sundays (07/23/17)

You know I love me some Drum N Bass. I could have easily gone down that path in 1993 as I was playing a lot of breakbeat techno at the time but when more genres started off shooting I ended up following the melodic and futuristic tones of trance and hard trance. But I always listened. When DJ's like R.A.W. and CRS? would be on the same bill, I would check them out. I would always spend a little time in the Jungle room at parties. In 1997 when I first heard Progression Sessions by LTJ Bukem is when I really fell in love with his style of smoothed out jazzy DnB which can now be called Liquid.

Although I do love the energy of the Jump Up stuff, since I was DJing at a Sunday Park Party I kept it on the chill tip. Actually I am listening to this mix as I am typing this and totally fits the mountain location I find myself in at the moment.  So let's get into this mix. Hope you enjoy.

My Random Studio Sessions

So last year I pretty much built the ultimate DJ rig in my studio. I had this beautiful custom booth built and I have been constantly upgrading it with the latest in technology. After I got the Toraiz SP-16  sampler and the Toraiz AS-1 synth, I have been wanting to highlight this hybrid form of DJing using this additional gear. I have invited friends of mine to come over and have mix sessions using my rig and recorded the output. So far, Huggie, Koko B, Day V and Bernard Thomas have all come over and dropped some sets with me. I will be inviting more guests to come over next year to rock sets in the studio and also incorporate live video streams. We are just getting started with this and here is your opportunity to check out our past mixes.
