It's kinda basic for the moment-- news, events, bio, a radio playlist or two. Downloadable mix stuff is on the way though, smell me?

Please tell me it's not wack.

For the past few months I've been doing a Friday party at Bar Kitty's, the one and only HUBBA ROCK. Despite seemingly ceaseless rain, the party has taken off-- we've been getting great crowds of sexy people sweating to the patented HUBBA ROCK sound.







Starting Saturday, April 15th, me and my ace No. 1 homie, DJ Willie Maze, will kick off a brand-new, as-yet-unnamed party at Bar Kitty's. DJ Willie Maze is a member of the (((Local 1200))) sound crew and is one of the freshest, most versatile DJs I know. We'll be setting off the dance with too many fly styles for me to name-- you'll have to come through and hear it to believe it.





When he's not busy RAWKING, Willie Maze has also been known to fish.

Bar Kitty's is located at 6702 Hollis in Emeryville, just off the I-80. Take the Ashby exit, hook a right, follow the curve and you'll find Kitty's on your left at the corner of 67th. 10p - 2a, 21+, no cover. YEE!

SOUL BOULDERS, that is.

My homie DJ B.Cause and I have finally finished up SOUL BOULDERS, a dynamite 70+ minute mix of slow, funky soul.

SOUL BOULDERS came together because B.Cause and I share a love for a certain sound -- 70s era soul that's a little too soulful for the funk crowd, a little too funky for the soul crowd and too slow for the dancefloor. We both have a lot of records and we spent weeks scouring for some of the heaviest soul sounds we knew of and then stitching them together into a seamless mix. Although many of the songs are known only to collectors, our emphasis is on quality, rather than rarity, and it's a fantastic listen all the way through.

Check the snaps of the tracklist and cover art (thanks, Tsega!) below and be on the lookout for the CD in stores and online soon.










I'm so geeked.
