This Saturday nite February 4th 2023 in Chicago is a very special event. Noleian Reusse and I have been friends for about 14 years now, and in that time we have DJed together and made music together on a number of occasions. Now we are throwing our first party together. I hollered at the homeboy…

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching
I recently found myself watching an old Boiler Room stream – artist irrelevant – and was struck, more than ever, by how awkward the whole situation was. It was one of the more enthusiastic and less self-conscious crowds, the rare recording where you didn’t feel like cringing too much yet in the space of a…
Mix: Live from Banger Cliff
Mixes from me are even rarer in the last few years than my posting on yon blog here. I had been planning on recording a mix recently but my home set up is a little bit scrappy and lockdown means that a new one is currently not possible, but in the mean time a recording…
West Coast Happenings
Summer in San Diego was quite fruitful for Rhythm Nation San Diego. We made it two years and had quite an event at Kava Lounge with Master Kev, Taylor Houseman, and I. As well, hosted LADYMONIX for a crowd who ate up everything she threw at them. Things I took away from the summer were…

For me it is especially inspiring to watch strong brothas and sistahs who are entrepreneurs, artists, and musicians thrive. If…

Deep in the underground a party called Excursions draws people from all walks of life for it’s annual Memorial Day event; to celebrate dance music and her culture. The party is the…
Unabridged, Unbroken, Unsound.
Unsound Krakow took place over the course of a week this October; it was my first time visiting in 3 years after going regularly since 2010 or so. The week is part music festival part endurance test. There is a gargantuan amount to try and get through for ones time there so I’m gonna try…
US West Coast House Biz
A long time friend of mine, brother in music, and former Pittsburgher Vincent Intrieri has been busy over the last year. After living in Hawaii for a while, he relocated to San Diego and is now setting up shop in southern California to bring some of that Midwest style of dance music to the area….
Sherkin Jerkin’
For those of you not too bothered about seeing Tiga for a 4th time in 12 months, or slightly perturbed by how last years Electric Picnic’s headliners were copy and pasted on to this years Forbidden Friut line up and / or generally can’t tell the difference between most festivals on the calendar any more, this June…
