| General | after 4 sets of turntables, 10000+ records, 500+ parties, a college radio show, multiple music phases, and 8453 cans of beer --- i now find myself in music distribution by day and dj/promotor by night... as a member of the massive selector crew, i'm busy organizing and promoting quality events for the good people of san francisco. i've pretty much played in every joint in the city along side local san francisco favorites like romanowski, j-boogie, dj zeph, sake-one and the triple threat dj's (vinroc, apollo, shortkut). i've even been lucky enough to share the stage with some of my heroes - dj jazzy jeff, dj swamp, melo-d and j-rocc, neil armstrong, breakestra, dj spinna, dj premier, haul & mason, king britt, ?uestlove, bobbito, gilles peterson, and more...
if you ever catch me on the decks, you'll never hear the same thing twice -- from hip-hop, rock, funk, soul, disco, broken beat, latin, house, reggae, dub, 80's, i play everything under the sun. i also dig making mixes for my friends so click below to hear my latest bedroom productions...
proof | lovers delight | 1hr 19 min recorded 8/2004
turn off the lights, burn some incense, and just cool out to this new joint from my latest bedroom sessions series. lovers delight is a dub infused mix of reggae, bossa, and electric relaxation featuring mash-ups and remixes from missy, alicia, d'angelo, erykah, pharrell , and even kelis. but don't let these artists fool you… this one's strictly for the lovers .
proof | latinize | 1hr 19 min recorded 10/2004
while I've never been to brazil, i've dreamed that one day, I'd be sippin' on a caipirinha in sao paolo during the height of a carnival celebration. latinize , the second installment in my bedroom sessions series, is a sonic excursion inspired by the sounds of brazil , nu soul, broken beat, & deep house. if you dig quantic, platinum pied pipers, masters at work, and king britt, then be prepared to get latinized with this new joint. viva brazilia! | | Music | PROOF'S SPRING '08 PICKS
maaaan, it's been a minute since i dropped some music picks but there's so much good music out there right now, that it's time to share... listen to my new imeem playlist HERE to check out the tracks i'm feelin at the moment...
1. Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson "Find A Way" LA musician Carlos Nino is back with another orchestration of a classic J. Dilla track - this time A Tribe Called Quest's "Find A Way". Nino and Atwood-Ferguson lead a band of musicians into a cinematic rendition of the classic Dilla produced track. Check the build up around the 3 minute mark... whoooo. big ups to andrew lojero for sharing this track, and daps to hakobo for telling me to listen to it, lol.
2. Erykah Badu "Honey (Moody Boyz Remix)" Ms. Badu's latest album is just the shit. everytime i hear Master/Teacher into The Hump into Telephone, it just hits me right THURRR... but check out this version of "Honey" that gets a dub step rub down by the UK's moody boyz... oh so sweet.
3. Green Tea "Sunshowers (Green Tea Remix)" Green Tea turns this mellow favorite into a bonifide dancefloor burner! complete with extended breaks for the dancers, and those sweet vocals lay perfectly over this uptempo track... this joint is gonna be heating dancefloors all summer long!
4. Yosaku "Ain't It Funky" the ubiquitous Yosaku takes on the difficult task of remixing one of James Brown's biggest hits, and delivers! this dudes ability to update a hard funk anthem into a now-sound heater is pretty mind blowing... this joint is gonna be featured on GAMM's upcoming "Doin James" James Brown tribute compilation. Ain't It Funky never sounded so FONKY.
5. Jackson Conti "Sao Paulo Nights" did you know madlib loves brazil? so much so that he linked up with the drummer Mamao of legendary brazilian outfit Azymuth to form Jackson Conti. check out this beautiful track off their latest album Sujinho...
6. Shawty Lo "They Know (Million $ Mano Remix)" bmore madness. bangin. shout out to jesse and the dub frequency crew for lacing me with this joint... oh, and check out their VIDEO too while you're at it.
7. Outkast "Royal Flush feat. Raekwon" the 2 dope boys are back and taking it back to the roots as they team up with Reakwon on this track that's reminiscent of their early work... this is some grimy southernplayalistic type ish!
8. Chez Damier "In & Out (Daz-I-Kue Remix)" lovin Daz's future boogie version of this crowd pleaser... can somebody say 80's throwback?
9. Karizma aka Kaytronic "33rd Street Anthem" techy new joint from Karizma that just smacks you in the face like he was your daddy... you know you like it.
10. Loose Ends "Hanging On A String" speaking of throwbacks, here's an r&b classic from 1984... and still sounds so fresh and so clean, peep the VIDEO and take some fashion tips, lol. | | Heroes | just want to take this time to give mad love to all the artists, dj's and performers who've graced our stage, blessed our decks and built bridges with us...
