Just stopped by Los Angeles AES for a bit and stumbled over to the Waves booth where Manny Marroquin happened to be answering crowd questions, and then . . . Tony Maserati stepped out of the crowd to help out Manny with crowd questions . . . AND THEN . . . Stevie Wonder(!!!) randomly walked over to say hey to everyone and talk to Manny for a minute. And here I figured it was going to just be a bunch of so-so gear booths, haha!
Very cool stuff, especially since I just finished my first day of “Art of Mixing” at Point Blank L.A. on Thursday. Coupling all I just learned in class with a great teach, with what some of the top level pros had to say was, again, verrrrry cool!
First DJ mix in a lonnnng time (straight from L.A.) for you to bump in your ride, throw down at your pool or BBQ party, groove to while you’re working out, or just sit back and enjoy!!!
Your thoughts, comments, critiques, and love is most assuredly welcome – but again and most of all, enjoy!

“When I go to a nightclub, you know…
I’m not going for the fire that’s coming out of the walls, yeah…I’m not going there to be in the VIP area and drink fancy fucking champagne.
Nah, I’m not going for none of those reasons to tell you the truth, you know…
I’m just going for the music…
I don’t need big breaks and a big song with a buildup and lights and smoke… fuck all that, I don’t need none of that shit…
I just need some good music…
When I do go out man I just wanna have a drink and just sit back and be by myself…
And just nod my head to some good music…
I’m just a regular guy, you know, who walks into a club and wants to hear a groove.
My life ain’t gonna change tonight… but yours is…”

Hey e’rybody! Hope you’re well!!
Currently in LA for a bit of work and learnin’. Do you know anyone (or anyone that knows anyone) that needs a sublet or maybe even a roommate for several months? I’m clean; feed and walk myself; am potty trained; and rarely bark.
And AirBNB and/or hotels is great and all, but slowly bleeding me dry. Been checking CL, WestSide Rentals, and a few others, but do let me know if you know any other services or peoples (for month-to-month or sublet). Thanks a million!!

So I dunno if it’s because they heard about the epic NYC blizzard and wanted to help out or what, but the great new music dropping left and right in the past few days is a wonderful blizzard all it’s own!

Yes, I’m that much of a navel-gazing nerd that I find this interesting . . .
“This article offers a breakdown of the album release cycle explaining why, in the digital age, the conventional timeline for releasing and promoting an album is riddled with inefficiencies and examines how one metalcore band figured out the right way of doing it way back in 2008.”

Recently got my hands on Komplete Ultimate 10 (http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/bundles/komplete-10-ultimate/), but work’s been kicking my ass so I haven’t had a ton of time to take it out on the track and tear around the studio in it (and update my Ableton/Maschine template, but in the meantime check out this musical gold dust post about Ableton (too true!) from Ask Audio Mag!

Just finished a remix for “Miike Snow – My Trigger (TekMonki Vocal Mix)” – Be sure to vote for or favorite me in contest at 
Someone asked me about this recently – did this back in 2001 or earlier and I’d forgot alll about it. Did a quick/dirty “tidy up” of the sound file, may go back in and get hardcore with it one day.
