NYE 2011 i'll be doing double duty at the Barbary.  You can catch me downstairs early at Hands & Knees, then upstairs the rest of the night at Tigerbeats.  Tickets are $10, there's limited presale so get them before they're gone.

First things first, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the Barbary.  The hardest working and most consistently innovative venue in Philadelphia.  I wanted to hit you off with a little piece of history while TDR v15 is brewing.

So, we're going to go back. Waaay back, to 2007.  Everyone in the club had sparks tongue, and Justice, MSTRKRFT, and Soulwax were causing riots on the dance floor.

This is the FIRST live mix I ever recorded and the set I played at the opening night of Barbary (11/19/07).

I had some like 10 year old Numark turntables with faulty grounds and the most basic mixer ever made.  No EQs just gain knobs and some crusty sliders.  (please pardon the levels, i didn't know any better)

This mix is seriously dense, TEPR, Black Ghosts, Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, MSTRKRFT, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, even some LOUD Daft Punk edit i made. 

Its like little musical time capsule.

Enjoy!

I am honored to announce that I''ll be guest DJing the One Year Anniversary of my favorite party in the city, Tigerbeats.

John Redden and Luis Angel Cancel are great DJ's but even better friends.  They have created something absolutely magical and I am so proud to be a part of it.

I would love to see your shining faces on the dancefloor and share this wonderful moment with you TONIGHT!!!

This is me saying goodbye to another epic summer with tracks from French Horn Rebellion, Flight Facilities, Miami Horror, Aeroplane, and Holy Ghost!  Enjoy.

As expected, the Wild Rumpus was very wild and rumpus-like. In between DJ sets, I shot a bunch of awesome footage of FLO & Jonesy! throughout the night and decided to wrap it all up into a little promo vid. Check it out below.

Next weekend I embark on an epic journey to the sacred isles of NANTUCKET alongside some of my favorite DJs and best friends to unleash a WILD RUMPUS upon its peaceful shores .  Located in the middle of the ocean about 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts, Nantucket holds a special place in my heart.  Growing up I spent long summer days battling waves and playing volleyball on its pristine beaches.  Now I get to return as a (semi) adult and blow up its nightlife.  Speaking of, nights on the island are pretty surreal because its so far in the middle of nowhere there's basically no light or sound pollution.  The stars glow bright as day and all you can hear is the sounds of the ocean all around you.  Stoked.
