A few weeks ago the crew organized a massive 20 head BYOB & Food Karaoke night in K-Town. Although we missed a few members of the crew: Four Loco, Beer, Champagne, and Asian Snacks helped fill the gap. We also sang stronger in their honor.
If we weren’t already attached to the hip, This brought us even closer (especially DJ Scallywag who sang his heart out to each and every soul in that room). The 1st of many Karaoke sessions was well documented by our home-girl Chrissy and I know with the weather getting warmer we’re sure to be running through town even more The Karaoke night ended with me singing “A whole new world” and I really think I touched some hearts.
My new promo mix, SLOW YOUR ROLL 2 is finally finished. It’s taken me longer than expected, but better late than never, right?
This time around I put a large focus on Latin/Brazilian & Ghettotech/Dancehall inspired House & Electro, which is all the “rage” these days (I guess?). Along the way, you’ll also hear Grade-A Cuts, French FiIter House, Disco Bangers, Classics Tunes re-envisioned & some surprises throughout.
The second edition of Slow Your Roll marks the beginning of a series (of the same name) I plan to continue putting out. I hope to have them done before every season! Summer is right around the corner…so I’m gonna get the ball rolling in a couple of weeks.
Enjoy and Thanks for listening. Spread it around. Let me know what you think!

I sort have been slacking on finding new music these days that’s not Electro or POP. Stumbling upon Darwin Deez changed that a bit. Darwin Deez music is young and dope as hell. It’s simple, catchy, and just sounds good. I’m not good at reviewing music so just take a listen and enjoy!
Nieves is an independent publishing house based in Zurich, Switzerland. Their operation is simple and pretty amazing and they focus on publishing limited Artists’ Books and Zines.
A company like this is something I’ve always aspired to create. With everyone around me either currently working on personal art projects from music to photography or recently have created a shit load of dope art, It would be amazing to set up shop and bring it to the masses off the internet. They say Print Media is dying, and in some shape way or form they are correct but Nieves shows that it’s still alive and not going anywhere anytime soon. Via their website you can preview the books as well which serves as a great tool for inspiration. Their books are also priced extremely well so if something hits your eye, its not a dent in your pocket (unless you’re me and everything seems to be striking). Happy browsing.
As you probably can tell our logo has changed. I made this by accident but it ended up coming out really good and the whole crew decided it should stick. What do you think?
We’re also in the process of making them into buttons! Would you rock one?
With Shruglife’s DJ ARQ & FULLTIMEFUN packing out the lower east side for a weeknight worth spending out. We’ve teamed up with Danceswithwhitegirls and photographer The Culture of me to bring everyone together to celebrate clean mixing and tasteful selection.
This week they’ve invited the Queen of the crew K!O & The Dapperest Alain D. who has been doing all our flyer design.

Eric put me on to these guys a few months ago. They kinda remind me of early Peter Bjorn And John, the album is a nice mix of departures into various style of music. Home is a great lighthearted nugget of sunshine, appropriate for this pre-sping weather we’re having. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros-Home
