San Francisco This Weekend!

I just watered the plants & got a ride to the airport with Apt One (Every man has a price & his is an order of tacos al pastor). Now I'm off to San Francisco, home of proper sourdough & the birthplace of HI-NRG! I'm looking forward to a busy weekend of DJing, digging with old friends and drinking with even older ones. 

The main event is a Go Bang! at Deco Lounge on Saturday night! All disco classics all night! Plus on Friday I'm playing at White Label at Showdown, then a whacked out opening set at BODY//CURRENT AFTER\\HOURS. Bay Area Jammers, get off the internet and come out! Also, check out this rad interview I did for SF Weekly's Hey DJ! Blog

Now for the music, here's a Philadelphia International jam I packed for Saturday:

Pop A Dub In Yo Ass

This track becomes a super feel good posi jam without Estelle's monologue. It's still pretty cheesy though.

Mysteries Of The Mind

Between Future Times' astral textures and U Street Music Hall's subs, Washington DC's been making lots of waves in electronic music lately. And the capitol's momentum is still building! Now two of it's most eclectic DJs, Chris Burns & Gavin Holland, have launched their own imprint, Mysteries Of The Mind. Dedicated to releasing quality electronic music on vinyl, MOTM is off to a strong start with a 4 track 12" from Chris & Gavin's Party Bros. project. The A-side is a quirky hommage to DC's Malcolm X Park, but the real gems are the Balearic as fuck b-sides. "Heartstones" transports me to a washed out VHS beach universe where I can feel my white pants bunching up as I gawk at babes in neon bathing suites & "Arboretum" is all I can hear in my opium nod free love dreams on the beach. So yeah, grab a copy of the new 12" directly from the Bros here.

Video Burnout


Sadly there's no video for this electro gem. Shout out to Ed Blammo for this one. It goes out to all the gamers who remember the 80s!

Oh no, I think I'm losing cool
I see an empty video, you know I"m cutting school
Good thing I've got candy I can munch
Cuz I'm gonna spend the money that I use for lunch.
