  • 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!

  • Prep for the CH! (Something Else! Podcast 5.23.13)

    Download

    This show is kind of \”good news/bad news.\”  Good news: releases by Nu Era (aka Marc Mac of 4Hero,) BBP (Ghetto Funk & Good Groove bods,) Child Of Lov (Damon Albarn associate,) Silver Bullit (from UrbanWorld Records) featuring Afrikan Boy (who seems to be everywhere right now) and house producer Chris Gavin.  Also in this column, I\’m writing this from the airport on my way to the CH (aka Switzerland) to play Pooc (Biel/Bienne,) Grenzwert & Acqua Lounge (Basel.)

    The dreaded \”bad news\”…  We lost a few musicians recently, Ray Manzarek (Doors keyboardist) & DJ/Producer Romanthony.  Ray is a 60s icon and Romanthony was only in his 40s… 

    Enjoy the music…
