Here’s a quick note to let everyone know I’m heading to Houston this Saturday, June 20 for some spectacular DJ mischief at Block 21 (located at 2420 Washington, 77007, click HERE for a map). This should be a bit of a wild night as there will be three areas of music and it seems it’s a FREE event. I believe I’m slated to play a bit of an extended set and will also make a pre-gig appearance on the Soular Grooves radio show.
I’m really looking forward to this … I’ve learned over the years that Texas likes to get down and dirty with the house music. If you’re in the area then I hope you’ll make it by. (more…)
It’s sort of amazing that fifteen years ago I gathered with a small group of people I met at the then relatively new Phat N’ Jazzy club night to plot the formation of the Eighth Dimension “collective”. The idea was to help each other out, working towards the common goal of some sort of success in the music industry. Since then Eighth Dimension has evolved into a record label, a music publishing company, a management/consulting team, and, most recently, an independent publicist helping other labels get their music out there. As the cliché goes, it’s been a long, wild ride.
It was Jon (Pimp Daddy Nash) who had the realization that we’ve hit fifteen years as a business and, certainly, as friends and it was his feeling that a party was in order. I’m really not one for celebrations such as these but I’ve gotten a bit more excited about it as the date closes in. This party will be a nice excuse to hang with all these great people who helped make my last fifteen years navigating the music landscape a fun, exciting, and much less complicated endeavor. I’m also expecting many of the fans and friends who have come in and out of our sphere in this decade and a half as well as the newer faces who are just there to hear some great tunes. (more…)
