CHANGE.........makes you wanna hustle

After over 3 years at Bambuddha Lounge and Levende in SF, tha Bay Area's most favoritest party has found a new home -- one that will allow us to do more live music, give us (and yall) more room to move, and one with hella PARKING!!! Woo Hoo!!

Not only that -- we are moving tha party to Tuesdays! For those who made it to Soluna Cafe back in 03-04, you remember what kind of look Tuesdays can be in tha Bay Area ;)


PLEASE join us for a very special re-opening event on TUESDAY, JULY 8 faeturing tha incredible sounds of DJ SPINNA, birthday girl GOAPELE, and PST resident DJ Sake One.

House Mix from '06

Back in 06 my patnas Nathaniel and Czelena started a soulful house music weekly @ Duplex in SF. The DJ rotation was Rahiem Jihad, Aybee, Deep Black, and myself and there were some guest DJs who slid thru like Cecil and Jayvi Velasco. Basically, tha music and vibe were DOPE but tha shit never really cracked off properly so tha night ended after about 4 months.

I was cleaning out my iTunes folder last week and came across a live recording from one of my sets there and it was a pretty good sample of some dope house sh*t that was out around then, so i decided to upload it for yall.

¡Fania! NYC || Pics

FANIA NYC | RETURN TO THA SOURCE!!

Its a major honor (and also more than a little nervous) to bring tha Fania Tribue jump to NYC. Luckily, we will be held down by no less than Bobbito Garcia, DJ Laylo, and Ilu Aye rocking the live Afro-Cuban steezy.

NYC fam please come thru -- Fania has shown love by giving a FREE COPY of "Fania Live 03" to everyone who cops an advance ticket. You can get em at Ticketweb or at tha SOBs box office (200 Varick, next door to tha venue). And i SWEAR its gonna be one for tha books....




¡QUE VIVA FANIA! ¡QUE VIVA LA LUCHA! ¡QUE VIVA LA MUSICA!

FANIA LIVE 03 IS OUT!

I think i told yall this already but im hella pumped cuz my Fania mix is finally done. I can't think of another record label that it would be more of an honor to do a mix for (maybe Tuff City lol) but its finally out and i wanted to share a link where you can listen to for free right hurr and also some links where you can cop it:

-Dusty Groove
-Amazon
-Barnes & Noble

or better yet, hit up your local RECORD STORE (remember those???) and cop it, or ask them to order it. Your support is much appreciated. And like i always tell people, if you don't like the CD, just look at it as an overpriced drink coaster.
