Showcase!



Hi folks!  Recently, I had a series of showcase performances in the Bay, Texas, and Seattle.  I haven't been able to put out any videos because I've been busy with Grad-School, my teaching jobs, other workshops, and my brother recently got married.  There were little things in between but you all get the idea.  Now, I've made a highlight video of my recent showcases and I wanted to share with you all.  It's a blend of old and new material, along with a few new toys at my arsenal.  Oh yeah, we still rock the vinyl set when needed.



This summer, there is a bunch in store.  As a member of 4OneFunk, we'll be rocking out every last Sat of the month in the summer.  As a member of Skratchpad, we'll be rocking out every first weds of the month.  There are some "DJ" gigs in between, as well day-time events, and more mixtapes and other various projects.  Thanks again for the support and be well everyone.

Stay tuned for my own Personal Site: Coming Soon...

Skratch Lounge: One Year Anniversary


It's been a year since I went to Seattle and in that time, I've gotten to experience various DJ Scratch Hip Hop Scenes around the planet.  There is something about the scene in Seattle that shows me their true love of their own scene.  Every DJ there went out of their own way to reach the Baltic Room and contribute to the event.  A grand total of about 12 turntables and 8 mixers were Counted. The Groove Techs Bamboo and Spinja and the Seattle Hip Hop DJ Scene provided the equipment out of their own strength.  There were even people bringing their own personal tables to put equipment on.

Me and Snayk Eyez decided to fly up and take part in the Skratch Lounge activities.  It was truly an amazing experience because of all the love that night.  In a way, it felt like a big "B-Boy" style "Scratch Circle."  Here is the video of our trip to Seattle Washington in the great northwest.



Skratch Lounge is every 1st Thursday of the month at The Baltic Room in Seattle Washington and it's free...Just like Skratchpad.

Cr(e)ate >Output< (Mixcrate Edition)

Hey folks, as you may of heard, I had an exclusive mix that was supposed to be out on URB online.  Unfortunately, the planet does revolve and time waits for no man.  I've patiently waited for this mix to be release to you all and now I've decided to take it to Mixcrate...The Mecca of DJ mixes at the moment.
It's good to have mixcrate as an outlet for the mix and I hope you all enjoy it as a whole.  Featuring tracks and edits from Myself, F.A.M.E., B.Cause, Smoov Groovs, Onra, Reggie B, Dam Funk, and way more.  It's an audio experience that is layered with detailed care and good sonic intentions.  If you want "Hard Copy" CDs of the mix, you'll have to catch me in person at a gig, event, function, etc.

My Tuesdays






Every Tuesday, I have a routine (for now) that I'm really flattered to have.  I just wanted to share what I do when I'm not "playing out."  It involves education, students, and DJing.  I'll let you figure out the rest.

Listening Lounge 4

Reignforest Collective Presents: Listening Lounge 4


I got to take part in the Listening Lounge event at 111 Minna back in February.  It was a dope event to be apart of and it's always cool to DJ with folks you don't often get to DJ with.  Listening Lounge is an event that promotes "Dope" music of course but showcasing good DJing and Musicianship in two rooms.  Next time there is a "Listening Lounge" at 111 Minna, you should swing by and see what takes place.  Big up to all the Reignforest Collective; Ronostalgia, Cedication.Crimes, and Xariusound (some real creative names btw).
