IT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY TO SEE MY OLD FRIEND AND TOUR MATE MNDR DOING BIG THINGS IN THE POP GAME AND IT MAKES ME EVEN HAPPIER TO SEE HER WORKING WITH THE VISIONARY CODY CRITCHELOE FROM SSION ON HER NEW VIDEO. “#1 IN HEAVEN” IS AN ANTHEM WITH A VIDEO TO MATCH BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! AS IF THINGS COULDN’T GET ANY SICHER, THE ONE-AND-ONLY SHAMS IS IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER, THROWING DOWN. I CAN’T WAIT FOR MNDR’S DEBUT FULL LENGTH, COMING SOON ON ULTRA.

KICKSTARTER COMING SOON.
GET READY TO GIVE, CHUG AND LOVE LIVE.

IN THIS MUSIC GAME I’M A FAN BEYOND ANYTHING ELSE. HERE IS SOME OF WHAT GOT ME SIKED IN 2K11.

THANK YOU FRIENDS FOR A SENSATIONAL DECEMBER TOUR OF AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN. ABOVE IS ME PERFORMING A BRAND NEW SONG CALLED “21 ON THE 101″ IN OSAKA FOR SOME RAGERS. GET READY TO GET DEEP INTO THE THUNDER ZONE IN 2K12. LOTS OF NEW PROJECTS. MORE INFO SOON. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

CHICAGO’S CAVE ARE BUDDIES OF MINE FROM WAY BACK WHEN AND ONE OF THE BEST BANDS BARNSTORMING THROUGHOUT THE USA. IN TERMS OF CURRENT BANDS ROCKING WITHIN THE REALM OF DRIVING PSYCHEDELIC BOOGIE, CAVE ARE SECOND TO NONE. THESE GUYS KNOW HOW TO BRING HOME THE BACON AND MAKE IT SIZZLE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

CAVE’S NEW RECORD NEVERENDLESS (DRAG CITY) TAKES WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS AND RATCHETS IT UP A NOTCH OR TWO. TIGHTER, SICKER AND READY FOR THE BIG TENT. MOTORIK MADNESS PERFECT FOR UNTING RECORD COLLECTOR DORKS AND BURNING MAN FIRE SPINNERS. LIVE IT IS UNTOUCHABLE. IN CASE YOU AREN’T SOLD, THIS BAND FEATURES ALL TIME LEGEND ROTTEN MILK ON VOCALS AND KEYBOARD. ‘NUFF SAID. GO BUY THEIR ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY NOW AND SEE THEM ON TOUR. CHECK OUT A VIDEO OF THEM JAMMING ON A MOVING TRUCK DRIVING THRU CHICAGO BELOW.

JB FLOWING OVER ONE OF THE SICHEST BEATS OF 2K11: HUDSON MOHAWKE’S “THUNDER BAY”. I WAS GOING TO USE THIS FOR MY UPCOMING MIXTAPE “BEYOND THUNDER ZONE” BUT THAT TAPE HAS TAKEN SOME TWISTS AND TURNS SO I FIGURED I WOULD JUST PUT IT IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW.

JB FANS KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE THUNDER IS TO MY EVERYDAY LIFESTYLE SO IN ADDITION TO THIS TRACK BEING AMAZING THE TITLE STRUCK A CHORD. RECORDED IN A CLOSET IN A ROOM BEHIND THE JOLLIBEE. QUICK AND SICK STYLE. I HOPE YOU LOVE IT. LISTEN TO IT ABOVE, DOWNLOAD IT RIGHT HERE.

IF THERE IS ONE THING IN THIS CRAZY MIXED UP WORLD THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALRIGHT IT IS REGIONAL AMERICAN DJ KULTURE. MIAMI’S JAM PONY EXPRESS CREW ARE TRUE INNOVATORS OF THE RAP/BASS DJ GAME GOING BACK 25+ YEARS. IT HAS BEEN CLAIMED BY MANY THAT JAM PONY BEAT DJ SCREW TO THE PUNCH, SLOWING DOWN ELECTRO AND RAP RECORDS WAY BACK IN THE MID 80′S AMONG OTHER TRICKS. KNOWN FOR THEIR “REGULATING” ON THE MIC, THESE GUYS LOVED TO YELL OVER TRACKS THRU DELAY AND REVERB AND HAVE A LOT OF FUN.

JAM PONY TOOK IT TO THE EXTREME AND FOR THAT I SALUTE THEM. TO ME THEY ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS A GUY LIKE WOLFMAN JACK, JUST WILDCARD AMERICAN DJ’S GOING NUTSO OVER THE AIR AND IN THE CLUB. YOU REALLY CAN’T BEAT THIS SHIT IN MY BOOK. ENDLESS INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION, RESPECT TO JAM PONY EXPRESS.

THIS MONDAY IN LA MY BUDDY ERIC ANDRE WILL BE DOING A TAPING OF THE TALK SHOW HE HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR THE ADULT SWIM NETWORK. THE SHOW HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS “CHARLIE ROSE ON SALVIA MEETS 1970S NYC PUBLIC ACCESS AND HYPERACTIVE JAPANESE GAME SHOWS” AND WHO AM I TO ARGUE? ERIC HITS ALL HIS MARKS WITH CHARM TO SPARE.

I WILL BE THE HOUSE DJ FOR THE NIGHT AND GUESTS LIKE QUEEN LATIFAH, EMMA STONE, ELLEN “DJ” ENERES AND SAVION GLOVER WILL BE IN THE BUILDING. ALL OF THIS AND MORE GOING DOWN AT PEHRSPACE IN LOS ANGELES! WATCH A PREVIEW OF THE SHOW BELOW TO GET IN THE ZONE.

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.

MY HOMETOWN OF MILWAUKEE HAS A STORIED HISTORY WHEN IT COMES TO AGGRESSIVE HARDCORE TECHNO. WHAT STARTED IN THE 90′S WITH THE FABLED DROP BASS NETWORK CONTINUED ON INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM THROUGH MORE EXPERIMENTAL LABELS LIKE ADDICT AND ZOD, PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF RAVE MUSIC AND CULTURE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.

ALTHOUGH THE SALAD DAYS OF THIS MOVEMENT ARE OVER, LOCAL MILWAUKEE LABEL RADIO GRAFFITI IS KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE WITH A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF REALLY SICK RECORDS. STYLES RANGE FROM LO-FI GABBER TO CHIPTUNE TO ACID TO BREAKCORE, BUT A HIGH QUALITY CONTROL AND FOCUS RUNS THROUGHOUT THE LABEL’S ENTIRE CATALOG.

OWNER TYLER ST CLAIR MAKES MUSIC UNDER THE STAGEDIVER AND DISPYZ HANDLES AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE LABEL’S BEST RELEASES. THIS SHIT WILL ALWAYS HOLD A PLACE IN MY HEART AND I’M PSYCHED TO SEE KIDS DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. NEVER STOP RAVING AND RAGING PEOPLE!
