God damn, it's hot in NYC.

June 7th, 2008

I didn't sleep much last night, the heat was killer. Finally, the summer is truly here. I've got a brand new soul mix for you all, and it's for charity. Don't worry, it's still free for download:

Tonight, I'm spinning for the Slackers again between sets at Slackfest. Expect nothing but the finest in ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Doors are at 7pm.

Saturday, June 7 - Irving Plaza - 17 Irving Pl, NY - $20.50

Not everyone

can be prom king.

But you can make up for your awkward teenage years this Friday if you're in New York:

Saturday, May 31st - Sin Sin & The Leopard Lounge - 85 2nd Ave, NY - No Cover if you say Theory Events at the door

This is stacked. I'll be spinning alongside It's Overture, DJ Scallywag, Mr. Torch, Sir-Real, and Ryan O'Neil (yes, you read that correctly). Voidstar Runner will be providing soundmurderation in the form of a live electronic set. Shit is ridiculous. Actually, I used to do live sets with synths + drum machines but it's way more work than it looks like. I'm kind of a studio cat, and just trying to keep a rack of equipment from doing weird shit live is a nightmare.

Back to the point: dress is East Village Black Tie which probably means I'm wearing a wifebeater with a sportcoat over it. You can decide for yourself, boys and girls. Photos and artwork curated by Meg Rorison will be on display. And let me just spell it out again for those of you who missed it the first time: The One Hand Bandit is going to be on the wheels of steel. See you there.

50 shots not murder?

I was so disappointed by the verdict in the Sean Bell case (announced Friday) that I decided to piece together this mix with Ryan over the weekend:

Please don't underestimate the seriousness of this situation. Police officers must be held accountable just like the rest of us.

Those of you who have known me for a while are well aware that my first love is reggae, not rap. A bunch of you have asked why I haven't done a reggae mix yet. Now you can stop asking:

Cool out on Sunday afternoon and goddamnit, turn up the bass.

Back to Brooklyn

March 24th, 2008

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you.

I know I've been quiet for a minute, but I'm in the middle of moving back to Brooklyn. I can't stand the yuppies in the East Village any longer. Sorry guys, threatening to call the cops over noise at 9:30 on a Friday is not doing it for me. I had no idea I moved into an old folks' home.

So now I'm rebuilding the studio and enjoying the freedom to bump shit as loud as I please. Also, Ryan and I live in the same apartment now. Brenner's Breaks Volume 2 is in the works and there are some surprises in store. I won't say anything else at the moment, but stay tuned...
