Yessiree I’m making my California return next week, doing a pair of wild weekday gigs with a pair of wild friends. It’s been a spell since I’ve touched down on my beloved west coast so here’s hoping that you’ll be able to make it out if you’re in the area. Details:

Tuesday, May 4 – Newport Beach, CA at Focus (Tapas)

I’m joining Green Gorilla Lounger M3 for a block-rockin’ face-off behind the decks at Focus, Orange County’s long running house music Tuesday. This is my fourth or fifth time playing this night and I have a blast each time, and playing back-to-back with my buddy M3 will make this even more manic. Local pal Nonfiction will be playing as well.

Tapas is located at 4253 Martingale Way, Newport Beach, CA 92660

18 & Over Welcome / 21 & Over For the Fully Stocked Bar
Doors at 9:30 PM
Drink Specials (B4 10:30) $3 Beers, $3 Vodka Energy, $3.50 Midori Sour & $3.50 Cosmos
$1 Tacos On the Patio (All Night)

$5 before 10:30 PM, $10 after

Wednesday, May 5 – San Francisco, CA at The Triple Crown

It’s a purported Cinco de Mayo party at the Triple Crown weekly “Look Up! Look Down! Look Out!” I’ll be joining Miguel Migs and M3 for this totally cool night of house music mayhem. I love this spot, and I love my San Francisco gigs, so I’m preparing myself for particularly fantastic evening.

The Triple Crown is located at 1760 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94102

8:00 PM – 2:00 AM

I hope to see you at one or both of the gigs!

Another month has sped by and thus the April edition of my Invisible Airwaves radio show debuts this week. This mix goes particularly deep and, yes, ‘housey’ with the trackier bits at the front and things getting funkier in the second half.

If you miss the show then the stations will be repeating it throughout the month. Play.FM will also have the show available on demand after its first airing. I’ll also be posting the mix to my Mixcloud page towards the end of the month.

OK, my brand new EP, which is the first non-remix music I’ve released in about 5 years (I know, right?) is out now exclusively on Beatport. It’s called “Chainsaw,” and you can listen to it in its entirety below. I hope you like it. On a side note, I promise it won’t be another 5 years until the next EP … I’m prepping an even newer one this month with a very, VERY special super surprise remixer on board.
