Ahh, !Club Queso! How I adore you. As February rolls around love is certainly in the air. Thus it’s time for our occasional romantic getaway to The Peacock Room. There we’ll find the annual Queso Valentine’s Ball, with lovers-not-fighters Q-Burns Abstract Message, Atnarko, Sleazy McQueen, and Matt Harris (T.A.R.D. … it’s his birthday!) playing Cupid-fresh house music tracks. I’m positive their antics will get us in the right mood. If you need a little more to tickle your fancy then know that Lola B is providing quite an amorous décor to The Peacock Room and Show Source Productions will make things sound extra scrumptious. Oh, ¡Club Queso!, how can you resist my charms?
Let’s plan a secret rendezvous. Meet me on Friday, February 5, at The Peacock Room, located near downtown Orlando by the corner of Mills and Virginia. You can see a map or get directions by clicking HERE. There’s a $5 cover, it’s 21 and up, and the first 50 people will get a token of my affection: a free cheesy mix CD.
I eagerly count the minutes until we meet again. Find me at The Peacock Room … I’ll be the one in the corner wearing a wrestling mask. XXOO
Once again, we’re tackling a full-on Moonboot Session on Friday, January 29 as I, Mr. Q-Burns Abstract Message, unveil a 5 hour DJ set under the lunar light. Tons of top tunes of various dancey varieties will be unleashed and you are encouraged to parade around the dancefloor in audacious Moonbooty regalia. Or just what you normally would wear on a fun Friday night out and about. We’ll be thrilled to see you either way, and it’s gonna be a blast.
It’s also going to be a (nearly) full moon, so this will be special Moonboot Session, indeed.
This occurs Friday, January 29 at the new and revamped SkySixty located in downtown Orlando on the rooftop of The Social. Click HERE for a map or directions. There is no cover, and it’s 21 and up.
We’ll see you on Friday at the Moonboot Session!

This Friday night (September 11) I, Mr. Q-Burns Abstract Message, will be playing up at Sky60 on their brand new and seriously improved sound system, which is exciting on its own. But, for added excitement, I’ll be joined by one of Brazil’s finest DJs: Marcelo Medeiros. Marcelo is visiting all the way from Curitiba, Brazil and is known there for his impeccable deep house sound. DJ’ing on multiple Brazilian radio programs as well as in clubs all over the country, his sound is a sultry mix of vocal house, funky rhythms, and a touch of South American influence. (more…)
This Saturday night (September 5) there’s a super-cool party happening at The Peacock Room in Orlando. Local deep house label Chillin Music is having its 5 year anniversary party and to mark the occasion they’re flying recent collaborator Pezzner in from Seattle. I’m not sure if you know about Pezzner, one half of eccentric house music duo Jacob London, but he’s one of my favorite working producers. His recent efforts for labels like Om Records, Freerange, and Urban Torque are inspirational, making him one of the few that I’ll always check when seeing his name attached to a track. Rest assured you will hear some fantastic, forward-thinking house music playing in his set this Saturday … sounds that should please the brain as well as the feet. I’m psyched. (more…)
On Friday, August 7: Dastardly Disco Debutantes & Brazenly Boisterous Boogie-Boys will unite for a thrilling evening of “getting down to the funky sound” as our heroes present the annual ¡Club Queso! extravaganza DISCO LIBRE!
Forged in collaboration with the fabulous Hoochie Productions DISCO LIBRE promises to be a night of obscure disco-influenced fun mixed with a bit of that luchador flavor you’ve grown to expect from a Queso party. Resident mischief-makers Q-Burns Abstract Message, Atnarko, and Sleazy McQueen will be on hand to provide the groovy tunes along with our very special guest Phat N’ Jazzy’s DJ BMF. Lola B will making everything look all disco-fabulous while Show Source Productions will be bringing in their boogie-sonic sound system. Let the good times roll.
This event takes place on Friday, August 7 at The Peacock Room, located at 1321 N. Mills Avenue in Orlando, right by the corner of Mills and Virginia. There’s a $5 cover, it’s 21 and up, and the first 50 people get awarded a copy of an exclusive ¡Club Queso! cheesy mix CD.
Disco dress, wrestling gear, or both (!) is encouraged. We’ll see you at the Peacock Room for DISCO LIBRE!
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…)
