Im on the plane flying back to Vegas after a crazy weekend ! Did so much flying in a short amount of time. I was scheduled to just play in Kansas City @ Menages , but ended up being contacted from DJ Alexa in Colombia about a gig in Manizales . Sebestian Leger was supposed to do the gig , but couldn't make it , so they asked me to fill in. At first the flights seemed impossible, but we found a route that took me from Kansas City ( leaving at 6:30 am ) to Chicago , to Miami , to Bogota , To Pereira then a 1 hour drive to Manizales . The travel was def worth it , cause the gig was amazing . I love Colombia . My new favorite country to play in . It was packed the whole time . Mental ! Great underground vibe and the people went crazy . I am now on my last leg of the flights to Vegas. The car picked me up at 4 am and drove back to Pereira where i fly to Cartegna then to Miami and now to Vegas. I have lots to do when i am back , because i am moving to LA in a week ! Very excited . Gonna be fun :) Since i last write i did 2 wicked Florida gigs at La Cavocha and @ Gryphon . Gryphon was wild ! It was the owner John's Bday and they had Jenna Jamison hosting the party . Packed !!

Im on the plane waiting to take off from Newark . I really had a great weekend . Nick and I flew to Boston on Friday for a fun gig @ The Estate . Was a very good and we had a killer time . I wish i had more time to spend in Boston.I went to the Berkley School of Music when i was younger , but i would love to check out more now . Def have a different perspective being 30 rather then when i was there at 15 ! Being in a city without drinking ! What a change . We flew into NYC on Saturday and stayed at this killer hotel called QT . Right around the corner from Times Square and was a great lil room . We had dinner Saturday night with the guys from AM Only and Mike Weiss from Nervous . We ate at a killer spot called Mondari . I passed by it one time while taking a walk and looked fantastic . It was regional Italian food and every dish was fantastic . I ordered the lamb special and was heavy , but awesome . Sunday I woke up early and went to the Met museum . I loved it also ! Such amazing art and artifacts . I really enjoyed the Greek and Roman statues . I haven't seen alot of that stuff and just broadened the museum experience. Normally it is more paintings and modern art.

The promoter and dj tom sawyer is an old buddy and its always good to hang . I am flying back to Miami where i will go to a good cuban plan on calle ocho . It is an easy 2 hour flight so no probs . I hope customs is aight though ! My last trip was brutal getting back through . Sundays could be very busy @ MIA . I will spend this week in Coral Springs workin on music . I am happy that i picked up a gig in West Palm BEach for Friday @ Euro Lounge . The promoter Malcolm is very cool and i know we will have a good time.

Im just on a plane back to Fort Lauderdale... The Red Eye ... I don't mind it though cause it gives me a full day and i am able to sleep once i get in . It would be really bad if you had to go straight to work after the flight though ! I have a good life :) Vegas was cool for the week . Caught up with some friends , had some nice meals and was able to sleep in my own bed ! I went out on Wed to Body English to see Peter Bailey and Ritchie Santana . They are great producers and djs so was good to see em . I am finishing a new promo mix soon and it is sounding great . Vegas is getting hot though ! I prefer the cooler temperatures . It looks like out Hamptons memorial day gig was postponed which was a bummer . We were really looking forward to playing up there . I will be in Vegas for Memorial day i believe which will be a lot of fun ! I am going back to Florida to catch up with family and friends and get a bit of work done as well. Nick is flying into Miami on Monday , so will be good to catch up to him than ..

Hello All . I am flying back to Vegas from Washington DC. I really had a great week . I flew from Florida ( where i also enjoyed an awesome time there . It's home ya know ... ) to Calgary where i did a great gig with Nick. Denver was also a fantastic time , and than onto DC . I enjoy the action and fast pace of life on the road . The airports and security are a bit of a pain , but generally it is fun . Although i do sometimes feel like all i do is eat ! My interest and love for cuisine has certainly increased over there years . Going to so many different cities and countries , and being spoiled in being taken to the best places , my love start to naturally grow ! Also the " art " aspect of food , became a fascination and a true Love in my life . I love to cook at home and as the days do go on it is ever increasing . ( I also do love my wines ! ) As I was saying , I do sometimes feel like all i do is eat , or i am in the process of eating . Airplanes make me super hungry and when you fly u tend to eat a lot ! No excuses !, cause u can always exercise , but with plane delays , traffic , and customs , u tend to be in a rush a lot . I wake up and eat . ( Coffee of course always . Stronger the better ) Than go to the airport and have a snack . Get off the plane and eat a great meal . Than go to the gig , where i am drinking a lot ! Than after the gig have a bite . Most of the time Pizza ! Than it is sleep and eating again . It is quite fun i admit ! I ate some good meals during the last week . Not the best though , and it always disappoints me when a meal isn't spot on . Generally chain restaurants never make the grade for me . Things need to be made with pride and love . I also haven't been feeling the Asian Fusion type of places lately . With a few exceptions of course ! Nobu , which is always fab absolutely spoils you when it comes to that type of food. From the fish to the meat , everything is just exceptional . I have been to the Nobu in Vegas , Miami , and NYC, and Nobu 57 in NYC was just the best . It was the atmosphere as well . Love that NYC . Another exception to the Asian Fusion rule is my local place called Japango , where my friend and chef Kevin is just incredible . I love Florida as well ! I haven't found a good sushi place in vegas. There are 1000 , but none of them up to my level of excellence . Yes i am a bit spoiled ! I had a decent steak and glass of wine in Calgary . ( although i am not gonna order a New York Strip anymore. too Boring and not enough butter ! ) In Denver i ate at a Asian Fusion place and wasn't bad ! I wasn't so in the mood though . They had Kirin Draft which i love. When we got to DC i saw there was a place called Olives, run by celeb chef Todd English . I didn't think it was a good meal . 2 commercial and we were the last table to be served , and i could feel things weren't as good as they should be . Had a terrible dish of Octopus and Squid , with chickpeas. Was very odd and not so good. The Roasted chicken was quite nice though . For my Birthday saturday i went to another Fusion place , and it was fun , but not that great . We cooked this " kobe steak " strips on hot rocks , which was cool and interactive , but the rest of the dishes were ok . Ceviche fell short for me . When i was in NYC , i had a fantastic Ceviche at this place called La Esquina ! Very NYC , and Hip , but very good . ( But the tacos weren't so good ) ! After my Birthday dinner i went to a local spot , which was way 2 busy and my buddy Bobby and I when to club Ibiza where Above and Beyond where playing . It was my first time to the club and i was impressed. Great big room vibe , and everyone having a great time . The guys from Above and Beyond were rocking it and i met with Jono and i hope to be in touch with him soon . He has been playing the track we did with PVD @ Every gig and he wants more ! ....... My strolls around DC were wicked ! It was amazing weather and it was fantastic seeing the city . I've always had a fascination with DC , even as a little kid. I remember going on a school trip and asking 1000 questions about the city and history . It is an amazing place, and very rich with culture and emotion . So much has gone on there , that has shaped so many lives, it is tough to not be touched when walking through the streets . I went to the National Gallery , Library of Congress , Smithsonian Buildings , and the new Newsuem . I enjoyed the national gallery the most . I love looking at the classics . Really loved seeing the Van Gough self portrait and the Renoit little girl . 2 paintings i have seen my whole life . I can't wait to get back to Amsterdam to go to the van gough museum . I love how he paints ! There is a new Goya exhibition in Madrid that opened a few weeks ago and i would love to make it there somehow . Nick is playing there in 2 weeks and i am jealous . Going to the prado is def not his thing though ! If i was there he would certainly go ! I spent a lot of time in the air and space museum , and i thoroughly enjoyed the Wright Brothers room . It is just amazing to see the original plane they flew in and the story of their lives ..... I am going to be doing my best to write here more . I have been reading a great book called Ghost Rider by Neil Peart . He is the drummer from Rush and he is an incredible person . Rush have always been one of my fav bands and he is in my opinion the best drummer ever and certainly one of the best lyricist off all time. He is also an incredible writer , and this is a book about dealing with some huge tragedies in his life. His writings inspire me more to write and let people know what i am up too ....

Ah the month of May. Always something special in the air for me during this time. Perhaps it is my Birthday month ... Yes i think it is . I was born on May 3, 1978 and this year will be my 30th Birthday . It is quite special i think, and I am looking forward to it . Last night i played with Nick in Calgary and was a fun gig ! It was at a smaller lounger called Opus and while not having the best sound system the party was rocking and very busy . The guys at the club were super nice and after they install a proper system in the place it will be a great spot . The promoter Dom was super cool as well , and he does the best parties in Calgary . Will def be back soon . Tonight i am playing at Beta in Denver. Should be a great gig as well. I've only heard great things . It is put on by Brad who used to do parties @ vinyl and The Church and the Thursday is the best night there . Tomorrow we go to Washington DC @ Buzz , which is a great venue there . It will be my first time playing there and I am looking forward to it . I will spend my Birthday saturday in DC , just hanging out . I will def go to some art galleries and museums . As a kid I went to DC and i loved the History .

I am flying from Winnipeg to Vancouver . Nick and I did a gig last night in Winnipeg which was lots of fun. This will be my first time going to Vancouver and I'm excited . I hear it's a beautiful city ! I spent a week in the studio finishing a remix for DJ Nuvex from Miami and for the new DJ Chus and Peter Gelderblom single " Feeling for You " . All is sounding good. I am really looking forward to this trip because i am going skiing Monday in Whistler. I love to ski and being born and raised in Florida , I don't get much of a chance to skiing . Nick and I are playing in Vancouver Sunday and than Whistler Tuesday . After that i am flying to NYC to do a private event for Jose Cuervo . I always love NYC and it will be a great time. After that i am flying down to Florida to play at Gyphon at The Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood . The Florida gigs are always so much fun , because all my friends come out .

Hello . Been a long time . I am on a plane to Bogota , Colombia. It has been a crazy month . WMC was last week and i had the time of my life . It was really such a great time for me because last year i had to cancel all of my gigs due to my Ear drum bursting from a plane trip . I had flown home from China after 2 gigs there and had a nasty cold. It was a week before WMC and really bummed me out ! No worries though , all better now ! Last week was just awesome . I played the Juicy Beach party @ Nikki and was wicked . Other highlights were the Nervous Records party and AM Only events . Nervous was super dope and underground . The AM Only party was held at Karu and Y , which is such a great venue . Throughout the weeks i met so many friends and i picked up some wicked tunes ! So much more i can say , but WMC is just something to experience and everyday was such an amazing. Bogota should be rocking . I have been hearing about Cinema club for many years and it is my first time there . I had a gig @ Karnival in Medellin, but it was postponed to a later date . Next week i am playing with Starkillers @ Webster Hall in NYC . I always love playing in NYC , so it will be nice :) I watched the DVD of our NErvous Nitelife project from Vegas and it is killer. I can't wait for the release in a month . My Love Machine CD is currently out now and is doing well. I have been getting great feedback from this .

I am flying back from from Lima . The weekend was fun . I arrived very late Friday night and slept most of Saturday . Nothing interesting to report other than a coupla coffees and sparkling water for the afternoon. I than drove @ 2 hours to the holiday beach area called Asia . It was really cool . Big holiday spot where there are tons of companies advertising their products , as well as many nice cafe's and bars . The club where i was playing was in this area. Rather than staying at a boring hotel , I stayed with the promoters at their beach house . Super cool chiil vibe there , and lovely surroundings nestled in the mountains on the beach . We relaxed and had some beer and food. In Lima they have a fantastic Restaurant called Rafael's and i was upset that i wasn't going to make it there this trip . BUT ! They have one at the beach area at the club Cafe Del Mar. Food and wine was awesome and a perfect start to the evening . The club where i was playing was a dope vibe . Big dance floor and patio area ( kinda like space in Miami . ) Night was buiding and building , but sadly when i went on the police were outside shutting the party down for an hour . We turned the music on and off and up and down for the hour to try and make the people stay . After much frustration we were able to get the party going and i ended up playing a coupla hours and was a great time .
Slept most of the day and had some wicked Cerviche before I left. Peru has awesome food. I am looking forward to chilling with my folks and seeing friends in Florida for the week . On Wed. I am going to be editing to Nervous DVD with Mike Weiss and David Orth in Miami . Alays a dream to have my own video , so to be editing is gonna be dope !

Flying back to Miami now .... Last night was fun . I loved staying at the Roosevelt Hotel and the whole vibe of LA . I had some drinks with some friend at the pool at the Roosevelt ( which was sadly under repair ) but was still a great atmosphere to have a drink. The party @ Avalon was slamming . It is a big theater and a unique vibe there . I played late from 2- 4 and the floor was packed till the end ! I am hoping to have a nice dinner @ Barton G's in Miami when i arrive it is isn't too late . My buddy Joe is the Chef there and the place is dope . Onto Egypt tomorrow !

1.12.08

I am on the plane to Los Angeles . I played last night in Rochester , NY @ Pearl . It was a good vibe . People were up for it . I am traveling with Nick on these gigs , which is always fun. It is good to hit the road again since NYE. I really needed the rest after the holidays . December was a crazy month of gigs and traveling , combined with doing a big photo shoot and filming a DVD for our upcoming Nervous Nitelife CD/DVD . I Caught a lil cold during the NYE weekend , which made the traveling a bit tough . Was amazing getting back to Vegas and relaxing for a week . I got back in the kitchen , brushing up on some dishes :) I am excited tonight to play in LA at Avalon , which is one of the best clubs in town . It will be my first time there , and should be fantastic . I have been out to Avalon many times , so to play that room is dope ! Great way to start the year . Tomorrow night i am flying back to Miami , because i am flying to Cairo Monday . The trip should be great! I am supposed to play in Romania on Friday, and am confirming the details now . I will also go back to Madrid where i will play the Main room @ Fabrik . I played @ Fabrik last year and they put me off in a smaller side room , which was fun but nothing like the main room . It is MASSIVE ! Probably holds @ 3-4000 People . More like a concert hall . Gotta bring the big guns out !
