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).

Free DJ Mix: Zach Moore (tech funk, progressive house, electro beats, vocals)

Monday, July 20th, 2009

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. Zach hails from San Francisco; runs his own nationally known podcast The Gough Street Sessions; part of The Deep End; and collaborates with Space Cowboys and Opulent Temple.

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.

Waveplant & Ernesto (I Need A) Bassline (Chad North and Aaron Pope Remix)

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

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.

DJ Mix: Dale Phurrough (dubstep, glitch, jungle, wobbly bass)

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Juicy for dubstep, glitch, wobbly bass, and drum and bass…er…jungle? I’ve got a new mix out on Jungo Road just that. I’ve recently been more into the outer rims of bpm; say less than 100 and more than 160. It’s more your ass quaking than your hands shaking.

[WARNING: Please, get some good speakers or earbuds; not like the terrible ones included with iPhones and iPods. Without them, you just won't hear the bass that is essential to enjoy this mix. For those few extra bucks you’ll get better sound at lower volumes which also helps to save your ears.]

Mr. Black and Tubway Launch New Party

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

My friends at Mr. Black and Tubway launch a new saturday night party “The Church Sessions” starting this Saturday 15 March 2008.

Expect the spirit and energy of Mr. Black combined with the serious house, soulful, sexy, banging beats (on up to four turntables at once) of the Tubway family. As Edina from Ab Fab said, “Names…names…names!” Many kick-ass people are involved in this to make it a party…to make it a new statement on the New York City nightlife scene.

Go go go! I’ll also be there with bells on. This Saturday night, 150 Varick @ Vandam in New York City. $10 before 2am, $15 after.

Fucking $11.10 (25%) Service Charge for Concert

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

This is fucking out of control. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I want to see Chemical Brothers at the McCarren pool this saturday. The band charges $44. The ticketing service charges $11.10. That’s 25% the ticket cost. That is completely unreasonable and, given my online service creation experience at Microsoft, unmatching a reasonable profit margin above their cost of service. It doesn’t cost $11.10 per ticket to host and run their ticketing service. Unless…they are idiots running a poor service.

The Chemical Brothers gets their $44 and probably don’t care beyond that. They may even have a flat fee and the promoter chooses the per ticket cost. The band has a single promoter (Made Events) and that promoter choose an exclusive ticket provider (TicketWeb), there is no free market. There is no competition. It is locked in. The only choice I have is to not choose to see Chemical Brothers.

Fucking thieves are TicketWeb, TicketMaster, and the lot of them. EXCEPT for Brown Paper Tickets. They charge reasonable service fees and have excellent service. I’ve used them as a promoter and its excellent.

Hip-hop at Ableton User Group

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Tonight, I went to the New York City Ableton User Group. We’re lucky to have an Ableton office in NYC, so we regularly have their employees also there. The featured performers tonight were Baba Israel, Yako and Core Rhythm.

It was two hours of great music w/ beatboxing, hip-hop beats and freestyling. After a performance, they would answer questions and share how they use Ableton Live for both production and live performance. Stellar.

I’ve been fooling around with Live for two years now; first with applying effect to my live DJ sets, then creating the remixes used for the choreographed dance in my last show 4 Seasons; and now creating original beats, music, and noise. This past Sunday 9 Sept, I was at Share.DJ and was fooling around producing live noise in a collaborative environment. Part of the time I was playing alongside a cello and a thumb piano thingy. You can hear a clip of my portion of the racket in the player here or over in the navigation column to the side.
