So, the "The Mayans ran out of space" theory prevails in the end, huh? Awesome. See you tomorrow...
Welcome To Week 72.
Bam Dropping Knowledge
WHERE: Cornell University Rare Books & Manuscripts Archive, Ithaca, NY
WHEN: Tuesday, November 27, 2012
The book in the god's hands is probably 500 years old. Bam is breaking down Egyptian law, and a number of other things he happens to be extremely knowledgeable about. He was crushing us with data, after our Cornell folks had just finished crushing us with some OTHER data about the same materials. So honored to be a part of all this. Salute Joe Conzo, Crazy Legs, Shakim, and Shaka Zulu who were also in attendance. The three of them made me an Official Zulu Nation member the same night at our party. I was "blowed away" as Magic Johnson would say...
Rocking With The God Body Bam
WHERE: The Haunt, Ithaca, NY
WHEN: Tuesday, November 27, 2012
250 plus Cornell University and Ithaca College students rammed out The Haunt to see myself and Afrika Bambaataa rock together on a Tuesday night. Fucking craziness. My bucket list is getting shorter and shorter...
Do Over
WHERE: Circa Rooftop, Prince Hotel, Melbourne, Australia
WHEN: Sunday, December 2, 2012
First ever trip "Down Under" and I couldn't have been with a more incredible group of cats. Salute Jamie Strong, Chris Haycock and Aloe Blacc for taking me, DJ Day, and Thee Mike B to Australia to rock. Didn't think they could match our Dubai and Abu Dhabi trip from last year, but damn, I was wrong. Incredible times.
Lounge Bar
WHERE: Melbourne, Australia
WHEN: Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Thanks to my brother Chris Gill at Northside Records and DJ Mz. Rizk (Zulu Nation, Melbourne) I got a second booking in Melbourne that week with my man DJ Day. Mike Bee was invited too, but he was in Sydney rocking that night. My friends are fucking animals about work, man. At any rate, I'm walking through the room and run into this dude, Sean McCorkle aka Big Sexy aka one of the most talented MMA fighters in the UFC. I dunno what it is about me constantly running into some of my favorite fighters, but wow. His hands felt like bricks with skin wrapped around them. Incredibly intimidating guy, but a really cool dude to talk to once he realized I was a legitimate fan of his. Wow...
21 Never Felt So Good
WHERE: Wahiki Island, Winer Tour, Auckland, New Zealand
WHEN: Friday, December 7, 2012
Happy birthday to me, and one enormous love to The Do Over, Grace Boyle, my DJ fan DJ Day, and Thee Mike B for making this birthday such a special one. Wow...
Do Over, Redux
WHERE: Waterfront Marine, Auckland, New Zealand
WHEN: Sunday, December 9, 2012
Auckland is THE SHIT! One enormous love to The Do Over for continually raising the bar on location and gathering the right teams of DJs to represent the brand. You guys are phenomenal in my book. This was the line one full hour before doors. Bonkers! Carry on…
Toca Tuesdays
WHERE: Sutra, NYC
WHEN: Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Salute my brother DJ Tony Touch, Voodoo Ray, Danny Castro, Kahiem, and Fred Coolout for bringing your man back to rock once again. Great way to come home rocking to an incredibly fired up room alongside one of my favorite dudes in the game. Got so fucking twisted alongside the jet lag from my flight home that I woke up in Tony's kid's room scared the fuck to death….welcome home dummy, haha, and salute Tony for making sure your man was safe and sound. Really appreciate that, brother.
Props
WHERE: Le Poisson Rouge, NYC
WHEN: Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Reunited and it feels so good. Back in stride with my brother from another mother, the incomparable DJ Akalepse. Mother fuckers will soon be forced to stop sleeping on this guy, trust me. Check the next few Truth & Soul releases for starters, then go hear him, whether alongside me, or solo. This guy is a fucking beast on the wheels.
Vagabond
WHERE: Downtown Miami, Florida
WHEN: Saturday, December 15, 2012
My very first time rocking a full on house set in the main room at the place many of us in the life know as "Louie Vega's Living Room" in Miami. Real honor to get that look, and an even bigger honor to do so alongside Djinji Brown, one of the most incredible people, DJs, producers, engineers and personal trainers in the world > Check The God's resume and holla back. Slicker than your average to say the least…and he'll whoop that ass quick fast two times to boot, haha. The shot is me alongside a living house music legend, Mr. Benji Candelerao.
The Big Give Back
WHERE: Silk City Diner, Philadelphia
WHEN: Sunday, December 16, 2012
In the spirit of doing for those who are less fortunate, Record break and GL Productions threw their first annual Toy and Coat Drive at Silk City with a host of local DJ talent and a fantastic energy. Things like this bring you good karma and make someone else's life a little bit better. I'm proud to have been asked to participate. Salute gents. Well done!
