: The Voices in My Head Are Aguing Again

Techno, bass, ghettotech, electro, and more!

: Super Bowl Weekend

I was back in Detroit to do some DJing, namely a couple of corporate events co sponsored by ESPN, Cadillac, Gilette, and Miller Lite. I pride myself on being a more grassroots-oriented dude, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't mind doing events like this from time to time. It was pretty fun as the crowd was just looking to enjoy themselves. I'd almost compare it to a happy hour.

While there are countless jams hitting right about now, here a a few getting much play from me. In no particular order.

: University of Wisconsin

I was in Madison to DJ/host four events, including an open mic hosted by Nuyorican Poet Willie Perdomo...

I was a special guest alongside Ann Pham, the Assistant Director of the Multicultural Student Center at the University of Wisconsin. We were guests on Gilbert Park's "Voices of Pathway."

: Le Twins, Paris

My set was over 2 hours long so I can't list everything, but here are a few tracks to give you a taste. Some huge hits were Parliament's "Knee Deep", R. Kelly's "Step In the Name of Love," Ying Yang Twin's "Shake it Like a Salt Shaker," and any dancehall/reggae.

: Urban Chart Sept. 2003

Old or new -- simply records that moved the crowd.

: July 2003 Urban Picks

A mixture of reggae, hip hop, old school, R&B, etc. I just play what works, old or new.

: July 2003 Electronica

That's a wack name...electronica. But I can't think of anything else. Basically, these are the house, techno, dance records that I've been giving the most play this month.

Music Event: New Year's Eve Party-Rex Club, Paris

Fundraiser for mixed-use co op in East Oakland and the Oakland Food Connection, an organization focused on bringing healthy food to low-income communities.

Press Item: One flew over a ghetto's nest

A Spring 2007 interview from France's Hell's Kitchen magazine. There are some stories tied to the techno group Underground Resistance, as well as some thoughts on the Bay Area's hyphy movement. The writer, Fabrice, and I spoke for hours over some good Indian food and he pulled some thoughts from this conversation. Some things were lost in translation (try explaing sideshows in French), but one thing I love about having my own website is I can clarify somethings. Thanks to Marie for helping me translate. This isn't an exact translation, but I tried to word it to make sense and flow smoother in English. The original French version is at the Hell's Kitchen link above. My comments follow this version. Thanks again to Fabrice for hooking this up!
