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.
