Jungo Road released MACE’s DJ mix this morning. I played his mix twice over shaking my thang with his fidget/electro house meets dubbyish hint of breaks and Baltimore booty. Eeeeyeaaaaahhh!

Mace plays all over San Francisco; part of the Brass Tax krew building a massive, fully functional boombox as a DJ booth for Burning Man 2009; collaborating on Peter Hudson’s Homorouboros and Tantalus, both zoetropes; and VIP coordinator for America’s biggest dance music event LovEvolution (Oct 3rd).

Jungo Road released Zach Moore’s DJ mix this morning. Its a tech funk balls-to-the-wall mix with some progressive house, electro beats, and vocals to keep you singing along.

First smitten by house music in 1999, Zach began DJing in 2003 and launched his podcast in 2005. Zach believes the recorded mix can be a much more powerful way to reach out to people and help them manage their everyday challenges. With his Jungo Road mix, you can enjoy this from him.

The artist John Van Hamersveld and Alida Post, his wife, have brought the Summer of ‘69 to Vegas. Both friends, I visited them in California a few months back and heard of their amazingly fun opportunity unfolding in Vegas. While first hush-hush, now everyone can know.

Alida and I met 17 years ago in New York City and have kept our friendship over the years and as we each switched coasts. Along the way, she met and married John. John brings his creative artistic talents; Alida her savvy relationship skills and marketing talents; together a force of creative nature.

John has created many memorable images including The Endless Summer movie poster; album covers for the Beatles, Stones Jefferson Airplane, KISS, Blondie and Grateful Dead; the classic Jimi Hendrix concert poster; Johnny Face; the St Mark’s series with Mickey Mouse; Pinnacle Indian. For me, his artwork ranges from bright silkscreened images to iconography to monochromatic drawings. In all cases, having a sure hand on layout, focus, subject, color, proportion…all qualities that are found in a skilled craftsman; with images of emotion, feeling, depth, completeness and originality that are found in a true artist. If you like Keith Haring, KAWS, or Shepard Fairey, then you will likely appreciate Van Hamersveld.

Now in Vegas, John and Alida have the opportunity to bring his art to a broad audience. I am particularly excited about the canopy movie debut, Signs of Life. John has created a movie that is projected from the Viva Vision canopy above Fremont Street in Vegas. Two custom-painted vintage school buses flank the street while John’s iconic images and recognizable style are animated 90 feet high and five blocks long. The visual engages you; sweeping you down the street and back to 1969. Video here.

To round out the Summer of ‘69 experience and bring John’s art into your own home is Hippie Nation Gallery & Records. Hippie is an art gallery located right at the Fremont Street Experience that will sell custom John Van Hamersveld posters, digital prints, original drawings and hand pulled silk screens, in addition to record albums. Do it this summer because the show ends Labor Day! More info at Vegas Experience.

I’ve written a new track review on Jungo Road for the new Waveplant & Ernesto (I Need A) Bassline (Chad North and Aaron Pope Remix). Its a great new track put together by Chad North, Aaron Pope, Waveplant, and Ernesto. Its a solid funky breakbeat track with glitched out vocals, choppy beats, and a background hint of retro vocoder effects. Think more prime time Stanton Warrior-esque in a crowded room of heated sexy people pulsing to the beat.
