Well, yeah … don’t be an April Fool. Instead be prompt and readied for the miraculous achievement that is ¡Club Queso! at the Peacock Room! Our latest fantastic miasma of sight and funky sound will take place this Friday, April 3. We’re taking it back to the primordial origins of the murky Queso with your heroes Q-Burns Abstract Message and Atnarko battling it out mano a mano behind the electric decks. There is bound to be an enticing musical artifact or two from WMC to thrill the ears and feet. Lola B will once again supply the magical atmosphere with glorious aplomb and Showsource Productions will help make things sound extra meaty. (more…)
I’m thrilled to let you know that I’ll be in Washington D.C. this Thursday night (April 2), helping to launch a new club night weekly called The Electric Cabaret. I’ll be joining my old friend DJ Lovegrove on the 2nd floor of The Muse delivering top, eclectic sounds in house, funk, and points in-between. Prime techno will be supplied on the main floor via Jeremy Caulfield (Dumb Unit – Berlin) and Measax + Docindo. My Spidey-sense tells me this is going to be a fun night of great music and vibes.

If you’re in the Denver area then I hope you can make it … good times! See the flyer below for all the info.

Hello, hazy morning in San Francisco … and I’m spending the day purposefully gathering all of my psychic energy in anticipation of the hours of madness that I’ll be taking part in tonight. It’s a couple of gigs, both organized in celebration of my good friend DJ M3‘s birthday (which is today … go to his MySpace page and wish him a happy birthday). On a related note, HERE is a quick interview with M3 in the SF Weekly you might enjoy.

It’s that time of year for my annual Funky Tofurkey Tour where I head up yonder to Kentucky and DJ a trio of cool gigs sure to make you shake off the stuffing. This trip is always fun. I don’t have family in Kentucky or anything … I’ve just acquired some cool friends who think it’s a nice tradition to bring me up for Thanksgiving every year. This is the fourth time, i think.
My schedule & a couple flyers after the fold … (more…)
Somehow it’s that time of year again when dance music freaks from all over converge in South Beach Miami for a wild and festive week of music called Winter Music Conference. It’s my thirteenth consecutive year going down for this and I’m hoping it will turn out to be a lucky 13. As usual I’ve got some cool gigs … three of them, in fact … and I’d love to see you at one or more if you’re joining the beat-loving throng under the sun. Information about my gigs after the jump.
