Bonsoir! Taking a short break from my last night in Paris. This trip is amazing! I hope you’re checking out some tidbits on tumblr. A full recap is coming when I return!

In the meanwhile, the pics from Parlour Magazine’s 4th Anniversary Party are out! Great times with the ladies of Parlour, the men & women who enjoy the mag, and plenty of Bushmills Whiskey. It’s good to see someone recognizing that beautiful intelligent women and whiskey are quite fond of one another

Check out the full photoset here!

Whew! What a month!

Again, I’ve been M.I.A. on the blog, but I’ve definitely been working. After throwing down on some private gigs (including one at Norwood), I started working on a new mix which I hope to get out soon!

I’ve also been working on locking down some gigs! This weekend, another fête privé, but on Tuesday, April 24th, I’m spinning for a live taping of Know This! TV.

Know This! is a web-series created and hosted by Ariana Proehl, who, after realizing there are so few intelligent, cool, fun, and socially aware media sources, decided to take it upon herself and create a talk show to present different points of view and to get people thinking about changing themselves, and the world!

Next week, she is presenting a LIVE version of her show in front of a studio audience, and you! Her guests will include model and actress Yaya DaCosta, comedienne and blogger Franchesca Ramsey, as well as journalist and co-founder of my favorite online mag, Parlour Magazine, Hillary Crosley!

And once again, I’m being reunited on the decks with Jasmine Solano! There will also be a performance by Grammy-nominated producer-singer-songwriter, Live at the Loft alum, Musinah!

As if it couldn’t get any better, the event is also a fundraiser, where a portion of proceeds will benefit youth organization The Brotherhood/Sister Sol!

Purchase a ticket!

I promise not to stray too far. I have to update you guys on some other upcoming gigs, including some in PARIS (France, not Texas)  in mid-May! I’m too excited!

This past year has been one of great strides! So very honored that people have allowed me the opportunity to just get on and share my love of music. Like Teddy Pendergrass,
the more I get, the more I want , so I’m looking to spin more in the New Year!

I started that resolution off on the right note at SoCo’s First Annual New Year’s Eve Ball! They definitely went all out to set the bar high for NYE in their amazing space. Frei from
The Ahficionados had the spot moving EARLY. When the clock struck 12, I played Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” . I had to  drop a classic- it’s the first song of the New Year! Don’t worry- after that it was party time!

Check out the photos!  Nothing feels better than seeing pictures of folks dancing knowing you made it happen (blind even! I couldn’t see the dancefloor!)

Thanks to everyone who allowed me to collaborate with them in 2011- I hope for more of the same in 2012!  Let’s get it!

If you’ve been so lucky, you’ve had the pleasure of taking the PATH train into New Jersey and uncovered what is easily one of the best live music venues in the tri-state. And it’s in someone’s house.

Photo/Videographer and director Tone has transformed his living room into a soundstage, where he gives a group of music fans and lovers to check out some great music by artists that are definitely on the cutting edge across all genres. It’s called Live at the Loft.

I’ve had the pleasure and privelege of being both an attendee and a participant-DJing before and after the main performers bless us with their gifts. After Tone and his team get through producing & capturing the sounds and sights for the show, they create videos that somehow manage to catch it all-the vibe of the audience, the details in the music creation. Good feelings all around. It’s rare that I catch a recap of a performance I’ve attended live and feel the same way I did when I was there. Tone & his team have a great gift.

Here’s video from one of my favorite Live at the Loft performances-Saturn Never Sleeps. The group consists of veteran DJ/producer King Britt and Producer/Singer Rucyl. These guys literally compose on stage and they create a soundscape that is simply beautiful to hear and compels one to move!

As if that wasn’t enough, the night also had a performance by The Stuyvesants. These guys have dropped three (!) albums full of beats that keep heads nodding continuously. They warmed up the crowd so lovely! I also got to share the decks with Jasmine Solano again which is always a treat.

I also took it as a huge honor that King Britt enjoyed my set. This dude has had me dancing until I was drenched in sweat and was definitely one of the many DJs that have inspired me, so to hear that my set was “sick” seriously made my year. It’s something to tell the grandkids one day .

Without further ado, here’s Live At The Loft: Episode #19. Peep my cameo early on.
