DJ SKEE QUITS RADIO

skee

Big ups to DJ Skee for making a statement and breaking out of the system. He gives a great resignation speech by talking about the state of music specifically controlled by the radio and how it’s controlled and tainted popular music today.

MUSIC: Happy Birthday & R.I.P. J DILLA

abcnt_jdilla_wall

Raise it up for James Dewitt Yancey. Happy Birthday, J Dilla. One of the illest in hip hop and music ever. True confession: I didn’t know about J Dilla and the depth of his work until his passing. That’s not a good or a bad thing, it’s a fact. I do wish I had been […]

A hilarious video about aspiring actors telling their friends/families about their big break…which sounds like porn. How would you react? (Note: NSFW).

cassieadrianaugustjpg

No, I didn’t produce these mixtapes, but being an R&B head myself, I like to spread love about artists that get me hyped about music genres again. The man…THE MAN…behind Tony! Toni! Toné! and Lucy Pearl…Raphael Saadiq, has a new artist he’s endorsing. Oakland’s own Adrian Marcel, whom I believe is now in the ATL, has a free […]

AMAZING DANCE PERFORMANCE. I’m not someone who looks for modern/artistic dance performances, but this performance on Britain’s Got Talent is moving and amazing. If you have 4 minutes to spare, I hope you watch this. Maybe even get some tissue out. Music by the stellar Emeli Sande.

stereosess-illefect

This Friday, I’ll be DJing again with DJ Brigidope of Amazing Zoo Crew at Radio Bar in Downtown Oakland for our 2nd Friday’s free event, STEREO SESSIONS. For this one, we’re bringing in my friend DJ Illefect who’s been killin’ it all over The Bay with his crew, All Mighty Family, and I haven’t spun […]

The_Wolverine_banner_1

I’m looking forward to this second attempt at a good Wolverine movie. Wolverine was my favorite comic book character growing up, especially thanks to the art of Marc Silvestri and Jim Lee. Hugh Jackman surprised me by being a decent Wolverine in the X-Men movies, but that first Wolverine Origins movie was so watered down […]

ufc-158-poster1

This Saturday! I’m rooting for Nick Diaz (Bay Area!) over GSP, Hendricks over Condit. I’m a fan of all four fighters…but it’s Nick Diaz. For that less than stunning win over Nick Diaz, I hope Condit gets caught by Hendricks: that “smart” “safe” win over Diaz wasn’t anywhere near the fight anyone wanted to see. […]

kickass2newsmall1

Finally! Heard this movie was going to happen, but now we have a poster image and a red band (uncensored) movie trailer. Coming to theaters in August 2013.

DJ Culture: Value Your DJ

paythedj

I borrowed this image after seeing the good folks at @3_style_attractions post this (on Instagram) and it made me laugh at first, then got me thinking. My reply: “The art of DJing isn’t appreciated by most party goers, and especially by promoters and club owners. A DJ with skill is hardly distinguished now from a […]

Events: Crossover 1st Thursdays (New Party)

crossover2_v1

We’re baaaaack! In 2012 CROSSOVER was a successful party brought to you by the NODPHONICS last year. Despite the success, the club we were at decided to take the night in a different musical direction (i.e. 2 Chainz,) and they let us go. Well in 2013 we’re at different venue (Mr. Smiths) and every 1st […]

Laughs: Batman Has A Dirty Mind

batman-dirtymind

I can’t stop laughing at these College Humor Batman/Dark Knight skits. NSFW warning, though: there’s explicit sexual references and Batman also has a dirty mouth, plus it spoils that last movie (Dark Knight Rises). I almost choked on my food watching this at lunch, though! CollegeHumor’s Favorite Funny Videos

Laughs: Enter The Dragon Baby

dragonbaby

If you like martial arts, dragons, Bruce Lee, or cute babies, you should definitely watch this. If you’re a Bruce Lee fan, you know I should have called this post Game of Death Baby instead. I think I’ve watched it a dozen times already and still get a kick out of it.  

zzward copy

I love music and have been in the hobby and business of music for most of my life as a DJ. The fact that I’ve been loving music for so long helps me appreciate the rare occasion that I find out about artists, music, and songs that give me chills because I love the song/performance/artistry […]

Site Update: New Link

cropped-header2a

Sad to discover today that a funny DJ website, Stuff DJs Hate.com, stopped updating as of June of this year. Still, I’ll share this with you for as long as it stays online. Definitely a fun read for DJs who have enough experience in a club or mobile DJ setting and have vented about these […]

darkknightrises

Debating on getting this. I already have this version of the Walking Dead Season 2 blu-ray set on my “to buy” list. I definitely want to own this movie (even after watching it 3 times in the theaters), but I’m asking myself, is the bat-cowl really necessary?

I got back yesterdayfrom an epic, amazing weekend with my Acts of Excellence team. Hands down, one of the best weekends of my life, and I’d be as bold to say the best birthday weekend (and birthday gift to myself) so far. It all comes full circle. Let’s pay it forward, Acts of Excellence, and […]

This has been a long time coming…

Hip Hop Sticker Bed

…I started DJing in 1991, about 21 years ago. I’ve been DJing clubs/lounges/bars consistently since I started DJing clubs in 2002.  I graduated with a graphic design degree in 2001 but didn’t realize I made a conscious choice not to pursue that side of me, that passion…until now. Thank you to my fiance, her cousin […]
