Last week I got an email informing me that I was nominated & selected to participate in the Red Bull Music Academy Taster in Atlanta next week. For those that aren't familar with the Academy, click here: Red Bull Music Academy - What is the Academy?

The Taster is basically a mini version of the world traveling RBMA that's held yearly, where you get to network with & share creativity with fellow music lovers & music professionals. This session we will have workshops & studio sessions with The Mizell Brothers, Maestro, Bryan-Michael Cox, Brandon Thomas, and Joi. And will be on site at Doppler Studios & The School of Audio Engineering (SAE). This will all lead to a collaborative effort to create an original Red Bull Music Academy production.

Needless to say, I'm honored & kinda excited 

If any of you are in the ATL area Tuesday 6/2, RBMA is kicking things off with "A Tribute to The Mizell Brothers / The Return of the Tuesday Jam Session" @ The Loft. Come through & say wassup

Frankie Bones (Clarksville) 08 08 2009



Biography:
Frankie Bones, often termed the "Godfather" of the rave scene, has spent more than two-thirds of his life devoted to electronic music. He got a start earlier than most; at only eleven years of age Bones had what he deems his first true experience in ‘clubbing.’ Every Saturday from that fateful day in May 1978 until 1982, Bones went to Roll-A-Palace, a rollerskating rink in Brooklyn with a dancefloor and "forward thinking" DJs, as he puts it. "There he learned the basic concepts of how to format music from being a regular patron on a weekly basis."
By the summer of 1979, at the age of twelve, Bones had already wired two turntables to the same stereo to enable him to start the next record while the one playing faded out. "My father found a box called a 1-4 Audio splitter which was a mixer with four slides marked Audio 1-4 and that was it. The art of mixing came by accident when I took two 45s of "Good Times" and extended the chorus. My BSR turntables had no pitch control so matching the beat of the same song was easy."
His legendary STORMraves in Brooklyn in the ‘90s have earned him the reputation as a pioneer of rave culture. "Frankie Bones introduced raves…to the east coast by throwing a series of big underground parties.
They were known as the STORMraves. Many promoters give Bones credit as the founding father of raves in America. It was at one of these Storm Raves that Bones gave a very important speech after one of his very powerful sets. He explained what the scene was about and why he had brought it to NY: peace, love, unity, and respect. When he finished everybody in the warehouse waved their hands in the air in complete unity. For many it was the most beautiful speech anyone has ever heard," says one attendee. From Prodigy to LTJ Bukem to Carl Cox, some of the best talent to emerge in the global scene has attributed Bones as an inspiration. 
Playing cutting edge music without gimmicks or limitations, Bones does not follow trends or try to create them. "I do not go for a look or a style," he says. "Fashion goes in and out of style; passion and dedication never go out of style. I cannot scratch like DJ Craze, cut like Bad Boy Bill, have major backing like Paul Oakenfold or rap like Run DMC, yet every time I start where they finish the crowd response equals or surpasses… How? Why? It is quite simple: "I love what I do and I have loved what I have been doing."

Ultimo & Disco presents….

DAVE DRESDEN
www.myspace.com/davedresden

Multiplicity can be a curse or a godsend. In the case of Dave Dresden, the constant jump between DJ and Producer, Journalist and A&R man became a blessing. At a very young age, Dresden developed his passion for music growing up in Connecticut. He frequented local dance clubs and became friendly with a DJ named Moby, a local hero at the time, who would later also serve as his mentor. His popularity grew quickly and demand for Dresden’s sets led to multiple performances weekly. But Dresden knew he wanted more than to be behind the decks.

When opportunity knocked in 1996, Dresden changed his focus to radio. He began his highly rated show "Electro Circus", which aired on Hartford, Connecticut's modern rock station, WMRQ until 2000. His radio career continued as music director and on-air personality for Groove Radio, an internet radio station, and music supervision for Pete Tong's highly influential Essential Selection show on the BBC Radio 1.

Always seeking new endeavors, Dresden became a dance music journalist and began writing reviews and features for national magazines such as DMA, DJ Times, and Mixer. Dresden was named a reporter to the highly regarded Billboard Club Play chart. Dresden profiled Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Masters at Work, Puff Daddy, Sasha & Digweed, BT, The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers, and Deep Dish, to name a few. Many of these artists’ first American press came through his journalistic efforts.

In 2001, everything changed when Dave Dresden partnered with Josh Gabriel to form the internationally successful DJ/production duo, Gabriel & Dresden. Soon after the group formed, they gained recognition through their numerous remixes for dance tracks such as Tiesto's "In My Memory" Way Out West's "Mindcircus" and Above and Beyond's "No One On Earth", as well as pop titles such as "Don't Leave Home" by Dido and "Intuition" and "Serve the Ego" by Jewel. Their first single, "Lament", was released in 2002 on Satoshi Tommie's Saw Recordings, received much critical acclaim. Since then they have released 3 full compilation albums and, in 2006, their self titled debut studio album, which was named as the "2006 Album of the Year" by M8 magazine.

Dresden's contribution to the duo led to 18 #1 positioned singles and remixes (and two others with both Chris Cox and Attention Deficit) on Billboard's Club Play Chart. The worldwide smash hit which Dresden released with Josh and vocalist Jes under the alias Motorcycle, "As the Rush Comes", hit the #1 spot on the US's Dance Radio Airplay chart for the year 2004 and peaked at #11 in the UK national singles chart. As DJs, the two reached #20 on the prestigious DJ Magazine Poll for 2006 and, more recently, Gabriel and Dresden won Best American DJ in 2007 and 2008 at the Annual Winter Music Conference International Dance Music Awards. After the awards, in March 2008, Gabriel & Dresden decided to part ways.

Dresden's solo career continues to accelerate with the same drive, determination that he began his career. His various successes have allowed him to remix artists such as The Killers, Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Duncan Sheik, Britney Spears & Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, and many more. His new single "Whole Wide World " which he co-produced with Chris Cox is currently being played on Tong's Essential Selection, and his newest remix of Radiohead's "Nude" can be heard on Dresden’s Myspace.

With Dresden's extensive touring schedule, as well as several solo releases and remixes, there is no doubt that Dresden's star power is shining brighter than ever before.

So...I just completed my 50th Bikram (hot) yoga class tonight @ Hot Yoga Nashville.  I can't believe that it was just over 4 months ago that I walked into the Hot Yoga Nashville studio out of curiosity...& desperation. I had just about hit bottom & was suffering on all fronts: physically, emotionally, mentally, & spiritually. I was your typical American...running myself into the ground, giving in to constant distractions & was a classic corporate burnout...who had lost Self along the way.

So...glad to say that I'm making progress & moving forward. I still have lots to learn & explore, but @ least I've started the journey.  And so far, I'm pleased with the results:

¤ I'm 20 lbs lighter...whew! LOL
¤ I've stopped taking/using all meds for allergies, asthma, sleep, digestion,  eczema, etc.
¤ Eating habits are improving...slow change, but getting there. And my water intake as definitely improved.
¤ Sleep is regulating.
¤ Complexion & posture has improved.
¤ Less stressed, improved disposition & mood....learning to slow down a bit.

So, needless to say....I'm going to stick with it, I haven't been this pleased with a fitness routine in years (& I'm a former athlete).

I'll keep everyone updated, & feel free to ask me questions.  I'll do another post about another fun topic: acupuncture LOL

I send much love & gratitude to Cassie & the crew @ HYN

   Hot Yoga Nashville


Until next time...y'all be easy...

There will be two rooms, & the DJ lineup will provide everything from hip hop to ghetto house....should be entertaining to say the least
