Booking # 163: Direct Drive Loft, Brooklyn, NY w/ Submorphics November 21st 2009

wow last night was awesome!!! Huge vibes inside. I honestly cant say who had the set of the eve because everyone rocked it. I was also at the door most of the night and not right up front as i would have preferred to be... Kasio started the night perfectly, deep smooth atmospheric stuff into more dance floor material towards the end of his 100 minute set. Ross D's original tunes are awesome and went over really well on the floor, great set, and perfect for the time he went on. Submorphics played an excellent mix of liquid, dark Liquid, deep tunes, minimal stuff, and rolling party tunes, great dancefloor set, lots of melody, more excellent stuff. The crowd was with him the entire time. Jason Magin has a fantastic set, lots of fast mixes, awesome upfront selection, also had the crowd the entire time. Diverse selection, all melodic, all dancefloor, some new dubs as i mentioned some classics if i remember correctly, def a excellent Dj. I closed the night, was awesome to see just about the same number of people at the beginning of my set as the end of my set at 4:00, place was going crazy till the way end. Very memorable gig for me. Digaddee rocked it as always, great to have him on the mic.

Thanks to everyone, video will be up soon, see you next month!!!

Booking # 162: Respect, Los Angeles, w/ Asides November 5th, 2009

Almost 2 years to the date since I last played Respect, last time was opening for Commix. Its such a pleasure to play what is one of if not the biggest and most respected Drum and Bass weekly in America. Absolutely professional promoters, sound, venue, vibe, everything. Just a fantastic night, huge packed venue, few hundred people. I played 10-11:30, good crowd, early, had people dancing for my whole set, thu it wasn't packed, and alot of people were outside listening to Dj's in the patio. Still people reacted strongly to my recent collaboration with Dave Owen which is a great feeling. Kjell's The Dynamic also went over huge, as it always does. I started deep but for the majority of my set i think I played slightly harder than i usually do, although it still maintained the funk... Few halftime tunes, went over well. The bass was HUGE in that place, so i tried to play the real bass heavy tunes, my last tune was Machrophage by Mixmaster Doc, sounded really excellent on the system. Good to connect with a few of my west coast friends there, Jo-S, Calculon, Machette, and nice to meet Asides and Clutch. I'll be back on the west coast in July, looking forward to another return to LA!

Booking # 161: Driven AM Showcase @ Camouflage, NYC November 3rd 2009

Pictures by: Kenneth Ray Keith Chapman

Continuing the trend in the last i'd say 6 months, this was another excellent night. Its always great when i play camo, as i've mentioned a few times. Always great working with Christian Bruna, sound and equiptment on point, no problems at all. This was the first week in the new venue Bar 13, and it was excellent, a definite step up from the last spot, really happy this party moved. Future is looking good for Camouflage. Musically it was just what i expected, awesome tunes thru the night, melody and funky and lots of lyrics. Most of the tunes played the whole night were dubs, or the freshest tunes, kept things really interesting for me, bunch of things i'd never heard. Atlantic Connection had the best set, very tight, very dancefloor, mostly tunes i hadn't heard, but i did recognize a few of his tunes. Crowed loved his set, great to have him back in NYC. I'm sure we'll be back at Camo soon. Thanks again!

Booking # 160: Thunder, Burlington VT October 8th 2009

This was my debut in VT, big up Tricky Pat for bringing me out. He's an excellent DJ/Producer/Promoter. VT is such a great state, but i'd never been to Burlington before. I really enjoyed my time. Got to see much of it, and a farm which was nice. I never see active farms any more, not up close. Took home some local cheese, honey and maple syrup, worth the trip right there! The gig was fun, chill night, not super busy, but sound was good, vibe was on point, and i got to play alot of chill stuff i dont always get to play. Bunch of my own tunes debuted this night too, which is always fun. Once again big up Pat!
