  • Guest DJ Sets on Mixcloud!

    As a DJ it\’s very common to be a guest at someone\’s event.  Sometimes these sets are recorded and uploaded to the web.  A wise person mentioned to me that I should make these easily accessible from my website; this post is for some of the sets available on Mixcloud.

    Click \”Play\” to start the journey or \”Up Next\” if you prefer to see the available sets.

  • Saturday Brunch!

    Back in Barcelona this Saturday for a Brunch Session at Dos Trece!  From 1pm til 5pm there are bottomless mimosas, great food and marvelous music!

    Below is a recording from the last session I did there.

    If you can\’t see the player, this is what it sounded like last time: http://www.mixcloud.com/Dostrece/t-bird-part-2/

  • Back in the Big Room, January 25 @ KER…

    Excited to be playing the main room in a proper Barcelona Disco again!  Thanks to Professor Angel Sound and his brother Big Lips (fka DeLippo) who put on The Saturday event DF.  Because this is Barcelona, I\’m gonna have to bang it out a bit–but what\’s life without a bit of a challenge, eh?  Make it bang, but don\’t lose the soul…

    So the details are on Resident Advisor and here\’s the flashy page for Ker Barcelona.  Below is a flyer with all the pertinent info as well (I happen to like this flyer a bit.)  If you are a veteran of the Barcelona club scene, you might remember this venue as Space… 

    I\’ve got a few mixes up of music from last year that might interest you, check the 2013 Wrap Up on my DJ Mixes page, House and Eclectic are on offer… These are tunes that were NOT made or remixed by myself or Los Chicos Altos.  Plenty of tracks forthcoming from that source! 
    By the way, if you haven\’t checked out our latest EP on UrbanWorld Records, El Diablo Alegre, here it is!

  • Friday Night Get Down @ Xiringuito Zero in Vilanova!

    After Thursday\’s Sant Joan holiday, I\’ve been invited to bring my sound to Vilanova i La Geltr

  • December Doings…

    Hey folks,

    The show is taking a Winter break, but there are still some things to check out whether you are in the Barcelona area or not:

    I\’ve got a new mix up at Thirty Thirsty in the style of what I play at my world-music monthly residency at Brazelona Sessions.

    I\’ll be at Brazelona Sessions this month on Tuesday December 29th for my Birthday Party in Barcelona! The cover charge is 6 Euros and it\’s actually a good deal–you get a ticket for your first drink included! There is a special going now where your first drink (usually a beer or mixer + 1 liquor) can also be a MOJITO! There\’s nowhere I can think of in Barcelona where you can get admission to a great dance party and a mojito for only 6 Euros.

    Speaking of monthlies, I\’ve also got a residency at a local spot in Sitges–Something Else! at Sitges Room Club. This happens the first Friday of the month and in December I had my first guest Dj, Jon Wedge a UK ex-pat living here in Catalunya. I warmed up for Jon and he played some great vocal house that got the crowd going as well as some classics like an acid-soaked remix of \”Yeke Yeke\” by Mory Kante and Jaydee\’s \”Plastic Dreams.\” How do you follow a set like that? Well, I started with a few classics as well–\”LFO\” by LFO and Kraftwerk\’s \”Numbers.\” Later, I played some new stuff like Dennis Ferrer\’s \”Hey Hey,\” Seiji\’s acid remix of \”Embrace The Martian\” by Crookers feat. Kid Cudi and even \”Conga\” by GroovyCosta as remixed by T-Bird (yours truly!) All told, it was a fun night for all!

    Last, but by no means least (for this posting,) I was invited to a party put on by clothing label/store Desigual. They are from here, but calling them local would be selling them short by a long way–they have stores all over Europe, in the Middle East, Asia and even NYC! Dj Delippo (Bongo Lounge) held it down for Barcelona along with guest djs Raul Santana (Los Chicarrons/UK) and Zlata (Ukraine.) Unfortunately my pictures of Zlata didn\’t come out very well, but I like one of \"\"Delippo and a few of Raul Santana.\"\"

    I expect to do a few more mixes before the month is up, so check back!

  • The New Sound and A Bit of History

    We\’re always looking for it, sometimes we find it, sometimes it finds us.

    In Barcelona, where I live, The Sound is minimal techno or simply minimal as it is known here. I haven\’t found a part of that music that moves me yet, but the immersion in a very electronic-oriented place has left its mark on me. I still love the jazz, funk, hip-hop, deep house and myriad other genres I was associated with previously and in the proper contexts still play them, but I feel that if one is not influenced by one\’s surroundings something is very wrong. As for this new sound, think of it as 21st Century Soul, I call it Soul Tech.
