I WILL BE DOING TWO DJ SETS IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA THIS OCTOBER. COME OUT AND HEAR ME PLAY ? MUSIC AND PRE-GAME BY LISTENING TO MY NEW-ISH MIX “GO TO THE CLUB ALONE”. BOTH OF THESE SHOULD BE SOLID NIGHTS OF QUALITY CONTEMPORARY ENTERTAINMENT. C U IN DA PIT!

OCTOBER 4TH “IHEARTCOMIX PRESENTS…” AT LOS GLOBOS WITH “SPECIAL GUEST”, BLEACHED, PROECT ME, KILLING SPREE DJS AND BOB BRUNO (BEST COAST) DJ SET

OCTOBER 24TH “SEAN CARNAGE PRESENTS…” AT PEHRSPACE WITH THE ERIC ANDRE SHOW LIVE, DJ DOUGGPOUND AND MORE!

ONE OF THE BEST “HOUSE MUSIC” MIXES I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. WOW, BRISTOL IS REALLY HOLDING IT DOWN! NEW MEETS OLD, CLASSY MEETS TRASHY AND ALWAYS JACKING. WITHIN THE PERIMETERS THIS MIX IS REALLY OPEN BUT BEYOND THAT THERE’S JUST A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC. UPFRONT FUTURISTIC TRAX MINGLE WITH CLASSICS IN A REALLY NATURAL WAY. ONCE YOU GET BIT BY THE HOUSE MUSIC BUG YOU ARE IN IT FOR LIFE AND THIS MIX IS A GREAT REMINDER OF WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE GENRE. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO IT FOR A FEW DAYS ON THE BBC IPLAYER AND AFTER THAT I’M SURE THERE ARE WAYS TO TRACK IT DOWN :-0. JULIO BASHMORE U CRAZY FOR THIS ONE!

I MET MY FRIEND SPANK ROCK IN THE SUMMER OF 2K5 IN PHILLY WHEN I PLAYED A SHOW AT SPACE 1026. OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS I HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN RAPPIN’ AND HANGIN’ WITH THE MAN, HE IS A GREAT PERFORMER AND AN EVER BETTER HUMAN BEING. RECENTLY I GOT TO GO SEE HIM OPEN UP FOR KE$HA AND LMFAO AND IT RULED; THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE GOT ME FEELING REALLY POSITIVE ABOUT POPULAR MUSIC IN AMERICA.

SPANK ROCK HAS A NEW LONG-AWAITED RECORD OUT TODAY CALLED EVERYTHING IS BORING AND EVERYONE IS A FUCKING LIAR AND IT IS DA SHIT. STYLES RANGE FROM TRANCED OUT SUPERPOP TO FUTURISTIC TECHNO RAP TO BLOWN OUT LO-FI INSANITY AND EVERY SONG IS DELIVERED WITH A LOT OF ENERGY. I FEEL LIKE SPANK ROCK IS THE TRUE UNSUNG HERO OF MODERN CLUB RAP SO IT’S GOOD TO SEE HIM GO ALL OUT ON THIS RECORD. YOU CAN STREAM IT ON ROLLING STONE’S WEBSITE RIGHT HERE. GIVE IT UP FOR MOTHERFUCKING SPANK ROCK!

spank rock is also featured on my 2010 mixtape THUNDER ZONE VOLUME ONE

DAM-FUNK IS A LOS ANGELES LEGEND AND TORCHBEARER FOR TIMELESS WEST COAST FUNK MUSIC. AT HIS WEEKLY PARTY FUNKMOSPHERE, HE BRINGS A LEVEL OF PLAYFULNESS TO THE TURNTABLES THAT MOST DJ’S SADLY LACK. SPINNING EVERYTHING FROM BOOGIE TO HOUSE TO FAR-OUT ROCK MUSIC WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CHARMING THE ROOM WITH HIS INCREDIBLE MIC SKILLS, DAM-FUNK WILL MAKE YOU SMILE AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME. AND HONESTLY, WHAT IS BETTER THAN THAT?

A NEW FREE EP OF ORIGINAL DAM-FUNK MUSIC CALLED “INNAFOCUSEDDAZE” HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED BY SCION A/V AND IT CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF HIS DJ SETS BUT ALSO STANDS ALONE. A LOT OF DIFFERENT STYLES AND VIBES; I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE BLAZING GUITAR SOLOS (I ALWAYS LOVE THE BLAZING GUITAR SOLOS). DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE BELOW. THIS IS TRUE AMERICAN MUSIC, BORN AND BREAD ON THE WEST COAST WITH A LOT OF LOVE.

EXTREME ANIMALS JUST DROPPED A MIX FOR DRE SKULL’S MIXPAK RECORDS PODCAST SERIES MIXPAK FM. FEATURING EVERYTHING FROM BROSTEP TO MODERN POP TO UNDERGROUND ACID STYLES TO MY COLLABORATION WITH ISSUE, THIS MIX IS A FUN ROMP THROUGH FUCKED UP SICK STYLE POP KULTURE. WHERE DOES APHEX START AND SKRILLEX STOP? THESE ARE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR OUR MODERN MUSIC AGE. INSTEAD OF SHIT TALK OR SNARK DISMISSAL EXTREME ANIMALS TACKLE THESE PROBLEMS WITH LOVE. DON’T KNOW ABOUT “THE ANIMALZ”? DON’T KNOW ABOUT PAPER RAD? DO SOME RESEARCH, IT’S WORTH IT. THIS MIX IS THE SHIT.

OAKLAND-VIA-ALABAMA RAGERS NO BABIES ARE ON TOUR RIGHT NOW AND IF THEY COME THROUGH YOUR TOWN I SUGGEST YOU CHECK THEM OUT. THESE KIDS COME CORRECT WITH A NOISY STYLE THAT SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRUSTY HARDCORE PUNK AND ARTY NO WAVE. LIVE IT IS AN ALL-OUT EXPLOSION OF ENERGY EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE; FORGET BORING INDIE ROCK FOR ONE GODDAMN SECOND BECAUSE NO BABIES ARE THE REAL DEAL. THEIR DEBUT LP IS OUT NOW ON THE FINE LONDON LABEL UPSET THE RHYTHM. GO COP THAT SHIT AND GET IN THE PIT! TOUR DATES (W/ WHITMAN) HERE.

STRAIGHT UP, ONLY BUILT FOR ZSHARE LINKS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS. DJ STEP ONE’S SITE BRINGS SOME SERIOUS ARCHIVAL RAWNESS DEALING WITH “GOLDEN AGE” HIP HOP AND BEYOND, LOTS OF RADIO RIPS AND MIXTAPES TAKEN DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE. SO SICK TO BE ABLE TO HEAR 90′S FUNKMASTER FLEX HOT 97 BROADCASTS, FLEX IS TIED WITH JOHN PEEL AS MY FAVORITE RADIO DJ OF ALL TIME AND THESE RIPS RULE.

LIVE RADIO IN THE BIG CITY HAS SOME REAL HEART AND I CAN HEAR IT IN THESE RECORDINGS DAMN NEAR 20 YEARS LATER. I’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN: MOST MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER IN THE MIX.

THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE: IF YOU EVER FEEL NEGATIVE ABOUT THE INTERNET YOU NEED SHUT THE FUCK UP, GO TO THIS SITE, LAY IN BED AND LISTEN TO FUNKMASTER PLAY RAP MUSIC AND YELL AT YOU. YOU MIGHT JUST FEEL BETTER – IT ALWAYS DOES THE TRICK FOR ME!

MY PHILADELPHIA BUDDIES ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT, ROSE LUARDO AND TED PASSIONS HAVE A TELEVISION SHOW FOR COMCAST ON-DEMAND CABLE THAT TEACHES KIDS HOW TO TELL JOKES. IT IS CALLED “JOKE SUMMER SCHOOL” AND IT IS HILARIOUS. WHATS MORE, THEY BROUGHT ME INTO PHILLY TO WRITE THE THEME SONG AND PERFORM IT ON CAMERA! DOING THE THEME SONG FOR A CHILDREN’S TV SHOW IS SERIOUSLY A DREAM COME TRUE. CHECK IT OUT ABOVE, I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THESE THREE DO, FROM ART TO TV TO PERFORMANCE AND BEYOND.
