News for September (and beyond)

The [grossly hyped up] 18th Radio AG live transmission party was canceled, creating the upset of the year. Maybe it'll be back in late September? I'm not even sure what to do with the 5 or 6 mixes I've come up with since July. Everything on that end seems to be dead: I did want to do some off-the-radar live mixes, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the bossman Slye. Anyway, I'm not dead, and to prove it I have a new remix posted on my Soundcloud page (and don't forget to check out my other remix I did for DJ Snakes, which is buried somewhere underneath my other recent tracks).

So what's next? Not much else for this year. It looks like I'll be buckling down with school and minimally working on whatever music I already have roughed out (which appears to be kind of a lot). Some of it may appear on the Allied Heights compilation; some of it may get rapped to; or some of it may just end up lost on the internet somewhere. Perhaps I'll be able to fit in a few more remixes -- which I'm not sure will ever be officially released; just depends on who I'm working with/for -- but other than that I don't think I'll have enough time to devote to some big project. Keep me in your thoughts though.

To Feel Proper Again Ep + Bonus CD

On August 28th I will be officially releasing my short-term EP To Feel Proper Again on CD format, available for free to those who attend the 18th Radio AG Live Transmission Party on that night. To kick off my DJ set, which will be around 9pm, I will play a song from the album as well as an unreleased (or soon-to-be-released) track during the set. The CD will come packaged with a sleeve, insert, and label. The first 15 copies will come with a bonus CD featuring tracks made in 2009 that never saw the light of day (but were meant to). Eventually both will be available either for free download or purchase via the forthcoming Radio AG/Allied Heights webstore. For now you can currently preview both albums on my soundcloud page here (in the sets section):

More Than a Year Later...

Sorry about the lack of updates in the past year. This project has not gone under... just yet. As for news of an upcoming release, I do not have any planned thus far. I do, however, have other news regarding my status in the world of music.

1.) Partners in crime and fellow DJs/producers/artists from the Allied Heights crew have recruited Dead Money Productions to join in their roster for an upcoming compilation. Said compilation will feature a variety of collaborations between these two very different camps of artists, as well as other contributions from neighboring friends and family. We're hoping to have an official release before the year [2010] is up so that we can finally have something to show for several years of knowing each other and making music independent of each others input (until now). Production is well under way.

2.) In addition to the aforementioned group, as well as any rappers/vocalists I've been working with here and there, I have also decided to ally myself with yet another estranged group of artists, one of which is a member of a band that has become quite popular here in San Diego (resulting in the band's receiving of a San Diego Music Award for best rock band last year). Through friends of friends, I have forged a budding friendship with these people and we have exciting plans to get together, hopefully soon, to test out our music ability and chemistry.

3.) My stint over at Radio AG as a monthly resident DJ has been fun and still continues -- but not for this month's broadcast, which will be on June 26. I've been trying to introduce anyone who listens to the station online to newer music out there, stuff I really like, and the response seems positive enough to continue doing so without fear of rejection or sounding "too inaccessible." Unfortunately, my sets have been confined to the CD decks, mostly because I cannot afford to collect vinyl anymore and the fact that I only own one turntable (another expense saver). Please do give these guys a listen though, as there will always be something interesting playing at any given point during the day.

4.) As a part of the turning of the year 2010, I'd like to create a roster of artists for the DM team, most notably all of whom represent me but in the many different forms I can take musically. This will be posted shortly.
