Diplo is like the Tiesto of urban music. Posted 11/10/08 at 12:07pm

He makes you want to set fire to something. Then, slipped next door to groove to Boo Williams classics until the lights came on. It’s like that cycle on your dryer that cools down and relaxes the fibers after the hot heat. I am so lucky…


This is how you make a request. Posted 11/10/08 at 12:04pm

Young, attractive, well-dressed and slightly bearded twenty-something with sexy girlfriend and an English accent: Is this soft-house?

Me: Well, I wasn’t going to call it that…it’s deep and soulful.

YAWDSBTSSGEA: I haven’t music like this since I left London. Nobody plays music like this in Houston. It’s f****** great.

Me: Yes, it is. I roll with Soular Grooves collective…we play good music, mate…thank you for listening.

Older Bearded Gentleman: What is this that you’re playing?
Me: Ella Fitzgerald.
OBG: No it’s not.
Me: Yes, it is.
OBG: Well, I’m intimately familiar with her voice, and it’s not Ella.
Me: It is. It’s a remix by a group called Cinematic Orchestra.
OBG: So, it’s not her voice.
Me: It is.
OBG: Maybe run through a filter or something.
Me: Maybe. Do you like it or not like it?
OBG: I like it, but it’s not Ella.
Me: OK

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.

A depression is when you lose your job.

There’s something about talking with a woman who likes you that makes you feel better. You don’t have to tell her all your problems, you can talk about anything. You can talk about the weather.

So, I am feeling very grateful…a time to reflect on life and death…musically, I’m sticking to my roots, in hopes of never “wavering” again…I hope that you like it…I am really feeling this s***, I have been blessed to have been offered Saturday nights at the best new venue in town “Block 21″…an opportunity to play, well, Saturday night tunes and tunes specifically about Saturday night (one specifically comes to mind)…plus an opportunity to bring in guests that I don’t normally play with to keep things mixed up as much as is possible. F*** music genres. Also, on October 14th, DJ Drew and myself will celebrate the 3-year anniversary of “Sideways Tuesdays” with special guests Tego and Miguel “Mano” Grillo…thank you to those that have generously helped and inspired me over the course of the last month…things just keep getting better…I am soooo lucky…


2 people who have inspired me. Posted 9/24/08 at 9:15am

Eddie Spettro encouraged me to make an incredible improvement in my physical health this year.

Dasoul! reminded me of why it is that I DJ in the first place.

Thank you gentlemen. You are very much appreciated.  


I think as much as anything… Posted 9/22/08 at 11:08am

…people appreciate a return to normalcy.

So, it turns out, it’s wayyyy easier to DJ with electricity.
