well, alrighty then. so it was mid-summer when I did the Proof Bar gig, but as promised I have (re)recorded my set from that night and posted it here for your aural pleasure. With a hint of MJ’s Thriller at the apex, and ending with Rihanna’s late-summer smash, Disturbia, the tracklist is ironically still relevant three months later. It’s the perfect preamble for your pre-Hallowe’en shenanigans. Though it begins with a pretty laidback vibe, its energy builds steadily and will ultimately catapult you into this weekend’s costumed debauchery.

Pls do me a huge favor, download it to your music player o’ choice and bump it while you’re on your way out tonight. Or, have a taste right now, annoy your coworkers & just stream it from here:

Many, many, many, many thanks to all of you came out to hang with me at Proof Bar last Thursday night!! It really meant a lot to me that you guys came out to show your support. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to see some of you before you headed out, but glad you all made it home safe & sound.

A special giant THANK YOU goes out to my good Friends from the Bay Area, Donna Claudio & Ken “k-cee” Co, who drove/flew down just to see me spin. Not only did Ken step in and graciously lend his technical expertise to the GDOC guys with their sound system (that’s a whole story in and of itself), but he saved my ass by lettin’ use his (sturdy) Mac as a backup when my (weaksauce) XP system crashed.

Despite the early setup & equipment issues, the evening was a fantastically fun success (I hear there were something like 600 heads in the place). I hope you all had as much fun as I did…

I’ll post up a (re)recording of the set I threw down, but for now here’s the tracklist:

1. Le Champagne (Original Mix) – Trentmøller
2. Squire For Hire (Restless Soul Capricorn Mix) – Nathan Haines
3. Swimming Places (Jerome Sydenham Remix) – Julien Jabre

5. Black And Gold (Al Usher Mix) – Sam Sparro
6. Hot In Herre – Tiga (covering Nelly)
7. Buzzin (Villains Remix v.2) – Shwayze (ft Cisco Adler of Whitestarr & Wale)
8. We Are Your Friends (Radioslave & Spencer Parker Re-Edit) – Justice vs Simian

I’ve (finally) landed myself a “real” DJ gig at a small bar here in the OC…
Please join me at PROOF in Santa Ana on Thursday night, AUGUST 14 for an evening of music, drinks & arse-shakin’: http://getdownoc.blogspot.com/

yep, that’s me at the bottom of the list… please, please, please (puh-leeease!!!) come out and show your support while I warm up the crowd with some house & electro. I’m one of the openers, and my set starts around 10pm. Hang with me early in the outdoor patio and grub on some bacon-wrapped hot dogs downtown-LA style (serious. I’m not kidding – peep the flyer.) since my set’s only about an hour long, I’ll kick it and get faded with you for the rest of the night!

COVER is FREE!!! there is no dress code, and DRINKS are CHEAP.
the more the merrier, so I encourage you to invite your friends to join us (and your friends’ friends even)
