Jay-You, Lazaro Casanova - Comandante {petFood 002}

So the next petFood release is being wrapped up. It was created by myself & Lazaro Casanova and it is called 'Comandante'. Release date is still TBA as we are still working on getting the remixes finished as well. Here is a snippet:

'Dawg Fight' Trailer

Here is a trailer for a documentary about backyard brawls that take place in my hometown, Dade County! (my upbringing was slightly different) These are the same fights that made Kimbo Slice the monster who he is today. I look forward to seeing the finished product later this year.






Someone throw on some Trick Daddy - 'Can't Fuck With the South'

Brandi Milne - Run Rabbit, Run

If you are in the Los Angeles area this Friday, be sure to check out Brandi Milne's debut solo exhibition @ Thinkspace Gallery. Art website Juxtapoz described the show:

'Run Rabbit, Run will feature a new fantastical world of whimsy painted with acrylic on wood panels and a collection of hand-painted antique books that will make up a very special installation.'






Oh and how can I forget the best part: EASTER HUNT (w/ prizes). For more info, CLICK HERE

Allen & Heath Ad

Mixer manufacturer Allen & Heath, whose popularity is growing exponentially, put out this video to show how to be a 'crap DJ'. I could not have said it better myself. The focus should be on making people dance.






LESS IS MORE.

Graffiti Wii

Wii has come out with a new graffiti game for those of you who always wanted to be a graffiti artist, but did not like the risks involved with the art.

Knife Combs

Great for those in need of a comb over, yet still want to maintain street cred.

Top 3 WMC Parties (IMO)

So here are the Top 3 WMC parties of 2009. There may have been others that were up there, but I could only attend so many.


1. Flying Circus @ Nikki Beach



Year 2 of this party somehow was better than year 1. This time, the party ended at 5am (last year it ended somewhere around midnight I believe). This all-star line-up did not disappoint. Just when you think the music could not get any better, the next DJ would come and blow your mind. Props to SAFE & the Audiofly guys for organizing this treat.


2. Spectral Label Showcase @ Grass



An intimate atmosphere, Dynacord sound, and Matthew Dear ending the night performing all new material as Audion Live. What more can a techno lover ask for? The vibe at this party was indescribable. One of thos 'you just had to be there' type events. Other highlights of the night included Clark Warner throwing down an amazing down-tempo set for the early dinner crowd as they chowed down on what I believe to be some of the best food Miami has to offer. Clark later came correct and played some amazing records that had the crowd buzzing. Props.


3. Danny Howells @ B.E.D.



All Howells, All night. 7 hours of musical magic performed by one of the worlds greatest programmers. Danny took the crowd through musical waves, playing anything from dark techno grooves to masterfully blending feel good house tracks. Not too many DJ's can pull this off. At 5am, management literally had to pull Danny of the decks and the crowd was left wanting more.



Honorable Mention: Get Physical @ Studio K, Sunday School, Viva vs Cadenza @ Space.

And we must also mention the greatest party to never happen: Circo Loco @ Nocturnal. This venue never fails to have the worst staff/management. Take note agents and artists, people HATE coming to this venue.
