WHERE: The Electric Pickle, Miami

Jump N Funk strikes again. Amazing night with three of my favorite human beings on the planet: DJ Kemit, Djinji Brown, and Mark Hines. You are now rocking with the best. Long live Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Ten years strong, and we still got more in store.

WHERE: Maxine's Restaurant, Miami

Me, my mellow Djinji Brown, and one of the new house music generals from South Africa Mr. Culoe De Song…such a cool guy, and a phenomenal producer and DJ…Salute the entire South African House Music movement. These cats are on the verge of changing things as we know it in house music...

Skinny motherfuckers gotta eat too, kid, and on the road, we eat like well-to-do white men. Heavy silverware and real china for the body.

WHERE: 3 Kings Of House, National Hotel, Miami Winter Music Conference
WHEN: Monday, March 19, 2012

Huge groupie moment for me. I've been buying and playing this man's records since I was 15. And he knew my name. I peed on myself a little bit on the low.

WHERE: Fluid, Philadelphia
WHEN: Tuesda, March 20, 2012 

Me, Mark Hines, and Mr. Stephen Hendel, the man behind Fela! coming to Broadway and the latest Fela Kuti reissue series on Knitting Factory Records. This was taken immediately after Stephen thanked us for being there for the play and making Jump N Funk happen for the Fela! Philly opening night. Joloff rice in the  back room with some proper Nigerian fixings just to round off the point…Catch up, fam…and bring some weed, I got a story to tell…
