First off, THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU for coming by, and if you have downloaded, podcast, bumped, grooved, jived, or in anyway enjoyed my mixes, whether featured here, or you’ve seen me play live, or heard me live via the internet, this thanks is for you. It is the support (and lack there of) that has been propelling me to continue forward with this project and dream.
Let me clarify a few things so that you can be on the same page as moi. I recognize and realize there are differences between a DJ, a Disc Jockey, a radio media personality, a jukebox, a Genius (or alternative technology) tool mix and finally a mixologist. I would classify myself as a mixologist. Let me define that for you. A mixologist is someone who isn’t merely beat matching songs continuously, they are following a theme, muse, vibe, or concept. The songs or compositions and elements they use are to convey a bigger message or meaning than the sum of their individual parts. Hence the theme of “synergism” within my compositions. Unfortunately, copyright law and the current legal climate in regards to this art form have not kept up with the creative process, and corporations are rightfully interested in keeping their bottom lines protected, as well as making sure they continue to barely feed the artists they represent. The current music climate in my homeland of Chicago (birthplace of House and original forms of current dance music), is a sad one, and most bars and what few clubs that are left do not understand or know how to capitalize on such artistic expression. Sounds like a sad state huh?
Well despite this climate of indifference, the lack of social change within my community, and a well demonstrated lack of proper funding and income, I drudge on. I firmly believe that one good mix can change a life, save a life, enhance a life, and definitely enrich all those that experience it. I would love to be able to get ample compensation for the craft that has taken 20 years of my life (and subsequent portions of my income) to be able to fully realize. After years of frustration, and “divorce”, I realize that you can never quit on your TRUE love. I’m not some altruistic moony-headed 60’s based flower child with an utterly utopian vision of how one track/mix and save the world. Nothing against those who have those beliefs, and God Bless them as they strive to achieve it. However, I do believe in the power of a damn good pulsing bass line complete with a complex rhythmic structure that hits hard and drives relentless for hours and just leaves you breathless, sweaty, makeup everywhere, sore and ultimately joyous, fulfilled, and a sense of WOW, that was indescribable, yet you feel it in your bones, soul, heart, and mind for days after your initial listening, and for some reason you can’t seem to stop playing it, all the while going over certain parts of it, cause you missed this one the first time, or wait, where did that come from, I didn’t hear that before types of experiences.
With those explanations out of the way, here is what I can promise you that you will find in each and every single mix that I cast out into the deep abyss of the internet.
It will be at least ONE full CD length mix
It will be 100% duplicatable live
It isn’t a virtual multi-tracked masterpiece
If at all possible made from the promotional and white label vinyls/ cd singles
will be recorded in ONE TAKE, ONE SHOT. There might be slight or subtle abnormalities that are inherent in the mix, which might not be originally intended, yet in the final overall greater good work within the mix as a whole. I’m certainly not perfect, and my mixes aren’t either. You will not get something over processed, re-edited, mixed down, effects laden to hell, or otherwise not like what a live performance will generate.
So with those thoughts, and a slight glimpse, I hope you are ready for the journey I am about to undertake. I hope this gains me more exposure, and recognition from WITHIN the community. Fame and fortune are niceties, but not necessary. A legion of followers with some of the loosest necks on the planet IS. Buckle up, buy a damn good subwoofer, alert the neighbors and the wife, and I look forward to you sharing me with your aerobic workout, morning jog, power lovemaking session, cleaning your house, or as the next big barn-burning house party you need to get started and turned into your next Paris Hilton-styled party.
Are you ready? Let’s go
No worries, the strobe light is still lit to guide the way..For Booking Info

Sure enough, Amasaygou (Dolo, of course), is at the Castor for breakfast at 7am. We lay out the day’s plans, the week’s plans: visits with the elders, the diviners, the traditional healer, the griot, the blacksmith, and a celebration that includes masks, if all goes well. The village of Tireli, 19k’s and an hour+ away makes the best Dogon millet beer (“kunyan”) and has the best mask collection – we’ll go there and talk about throwing a party that we can film.
Maybe it’s because the diviners are such a part of life here, maybe it’s because everyone has the same last name, maybe it’s because Griaule left such a mixed heritage of scholarship and hoax (or, maybe, mistranslation). Whatever it is, the Oral Tradition is thriving in Dogon country like nowhere else I’ve seen. The tourists are here for one thing only: the Dogon way of life. Which is to say, the way spirituality is imbued in all objects. The odd jester’s hats with swinging puffballs. The landscape that makes the arcane, fantastic cosmology seem logical. And it’s not that tourists are here in such great numbers – the toilet is still a hole as often as not, and sanitary conditions are, let’s say, haphazard. Meeting Moussa in Tireli (everybody here is a Saye) is filled with these engaging contradictions – he runs the only hotel in town, which the Women’s Association started with a grant from Nobel winner Muhammad Yunus, he of the microgrant theories. Entrust Moussa to hold the money, and he’ll put together our Festival. Hmmm.
I like him, and we are encouraged that we’ll shoot here, but want to allow Sangha a chance to respond, so it’s an hour plus back to Sangha: 20 minutes on a sand piste including a 75 degree plunge into an empty river bed, 20 minutes dirt road past Amani, the sacred crocodile village, Irili, which is also a World Heritage site (truly extraordinary, Hobbit + Star Wars + Truli plus you name it – Mitterrand helicoptered here!), then a steep ascent up a rocky torture road that is intermittently paved, a road that curves alpine-like past villages, Telem caves, and wild west vistas. An NGO paved the road, but didn’t have enough money to pave it all — paved means a cement slab is sunk into the earth. So they paved the most dangerous parts, so the story goes. If that’s true I don’t know what these nondangerous, unpaved parts used to be – the 4x4 sometimes slows to a roll as pointy rocks and potholes take their toll. Avberage speed is around 3kph. Finally we clear an incline and there’s Lower Sangha spread before us – hundreds of mostly women workers with jugs or rice sheaves on their hand, slowly walking from here to there through the green rice and onion fields of Paradise. In the distance the cliffs, the reed rock escarpment, the Telem caves. An indescribable landscape.
Turns out Sekou is also the man in charge of the Sangha equivalent of the Tireli plan. He asks me, Well, did Tireli work for you? Sure did. Then why not do that? Because I wanted to get a price from the Sangha. From you.

Ke$ha opens up in the March issue of Glamour magazine, ditching her glitter and garbage look for… something that resembles a person who regularly showers.
Inside she gabs about her penchant for penis and promises fans that the follow-up to her 2010 album Animal will show her vulnerable side. This might translate to less lyrics about hard liquor, more about Franzia.
Of special note, she reveals to Glamour how she manages to dig herself out of melancholy:
“Who isn’t amused by a giant, dancing penis? Sometimes when I’m sad, I make my assistant put on the penis outfit and bounce around my house.”
She doesn’t just see dick when she’s sad–she has several sex partners weekly, adding: “Don’t get me wrong: I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It’s like a hobby. I’m like a praying mantis. They **** me, and then I eat them.”

The group set up over 1,000 instruments over two miles of desert outside of Los Angeles. The group equipped their Chevy Sonic with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments as they drove through a course. Group leader Damian took stunt driving lessons in order to handle the course in perfect timing to the song.

“Born to Die” is the new music video directed by the celebrated photographer/filmmaker Yoann Lemoine, from the chart-topping major label album debut by 25-year-old retro chanteuse Lana Del Rey. A number of malcontent bloggers have taken snarky aim at Del Rey, taking issue with the size of her fantastic pout, with the fact that she changed her name from the far less exotic Lizzy Grant, and for presenting an image they feel is just too cool to be real. Nevertheless, Del Rey comes across like a gangster Lauren Bacall, finds musical inspiration in the bright lights of Monte Carlo and can sing with enough grace and longing to break your heart after just one verse.
This piece includes color photographs and the music video.

“Ewwww! Really?”
That’s the reaction people get when they hear that Madonna will be performing at Super Bowl XLVI half-time show with other musical guests M.I.A, Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj and LMFAO combined with a performance by Cirque du Soleil.
Together these artists cover a variety of music tastes. However, is this variety even appealing to viewers?
It’s like the idea of mixing all of your favorite candy into one bowl. The idea sounds great but the result is not as sweet.
Last year approximately 111 million people watched the Super Bowl. However, are the advertisers of Super Bowl telecasts reaching their target audience with the half-time show?
According to Sports Business Daily, the highest percent of people that watched the Super Bowl for the half-time show was the age group of 55 and up.
If advertiser’s desired audiences are not being reached, then why do they continue to pour so much money and time into this event?
The wardrobe malfunction with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake added a little life to the half-time show in 2004.
After this “malfunction” (which is still debatable if intended or not) half-time shows have become more focused on “wardrobe security” and having a full lineup and instead are just becoming a mess.
The acts that have been performing at the Super Bowl the past eight years are the networks attempts to get viewers interested in the show by combining an older music artist or legend with a newer musical artist.
The performer collaborations don’t mix well together and new performers just lack the experience needed to perform at such a big event.
Black Eyed Peas and Slash, Prince and Flo-Rida are some of the collaborations that just don’t make the cut.
Madonna, 53, is a music legend. This queen of music has been performing since 1979. Madonna opened the door for individuality in music and created a pathway for female performers. However, only so many comebacks and reinventing of one’s self can be done before all their acts seem to be the same.
Performers at half-time shows fail to represent the demographic that advertiser’s want.
M.I.A, the British singer, song-writer has been releasing songs since 2000 that have an ethnic edge that separates her from other artists. Songs like “Paper Planes” have given M.I.A her name and have been seen on movie soundtracks like “Slumdog Millionaire,” which contained three of her tracks. M.I.A’s genre has been classified as alternative dance and electronic.
Now how do you combine the genre of pop, rock and combine it with electronic, dance?
Today, collaborations and mash-ups of two different artists have become more popular. However, in a live performance, there is hopefully no auto tune, no editing and no mixing of low bass, beats and cross-overs. How is the performance expected to come out sounding like one smooth song and not like oil and water mixed into one bowl only to separate into a mess of a song making the stage slippery and hard to stand.
Now reconsider the half-time show, add four other acts to the Madonna equation. This Super Bowl show will look like a circus even without Cirque du Soleil.
People watch the Super Bowl for the football, the quality time with friends and commercials. The half-time show has merely the perfect opportunity for a bathroom break or grabbing your favorite snack from the refrigerator.
Now consider this: It is reported that in 2011 advertisers paid up to $3 million for a 30-second- commercial spot during the Super Bowl. Other companies like Chrysler, paid up to $12 million for a 2-minute-commercial slot.
Doesn’t this leave a bad position for advertisers? The half-time show viewer ratings from age 18 to 55 and over is a high of 7 percent out of the 111 million people watching the Super Bowl.
If this is the time when people get up to stretch their legs and get more pizza it is likely that an advertisers commercial will be missed and their millions of dollars paid will be wasted.
With 44 percent of people watching the Super Bowl solely for commercials, there is already a higher viewer rating than the half-time show itself.
Perhaps the networks should make the half-time show visible for only those attending the Super Bowl and allowed the viewers at home to continue to watch commercials during the 15-minute break. Then again, if this were to happen when would we all get our bathroom break?
(Super Bowl XLVI will premiere Sunday, February 5, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana while the NY Giants take on the New England Patriots.)“Ewwww! Really?”
That’s the reaction people get when they hear... more

The new Madonna Super Bowl video preview for “Give Me All Your Luvin’” is peppy, catchy, somewhat infectious and utterly boring to the point of tears. Watching the new Madonna “Give Me All Your Luvin’” video just makes me long desperately for the old Material Girl of my youth and itch to change the channel to anything by Lady Gaga. You know, that spectacular, fresh, visionary performer Madonna called “reductive,” and I call brilliantly relevant?
