What my peoples?!!…. 2008 is now over and what a year it has been. My year started off the way it ended, with a lot of touring. I must say that I really hate airports and immigration, there’s nothing more in this world that I dread than dealing with hangovers and security lines. Anyways, halfway through the year I started touring with Kanye and honestly that was the most relaxing time I’ve had in years. It was more like a world vacation than a world tour. I met a lot of great people and it helped me focus on what I want to be doing in the next couple of years. For those that have been following your boy, you know I’ve made a lot of genre changes through out my career……I think more than any other dj I know. I don’t do this to piss my fans off, I do this because I love new music and music keeps changing every year. For 2009 it’s not gonna be any different. I’m really feeling this bassline driven music coming out recently. I’ll be putting out a couple mixes throughout the year to give you an example of what I’m talking about. This year I promise to finally deliver my first real production album and hopefully I’ll have a couple guests on it. Also this year I’m gonna try to finish a project I started last year called “LUSHUS”, for those that heard my Fabric mix I had a song on there called “Ho Fo Sho”, this was an example of the kinda vibe it will be on, basically some new skool miami gangster girlie shit with a lot of bass in it. Another project I’m starting this year is a new label with my boys Kill The Noise and Klever called “Slow Roast”. It was supposed to have kicked off by now but because of my heavy touring we couldn’t really make it happen in time. I’ve set my goals list very high for this year and I plan to make all of these goals come true. 2009 …..IM READY!!!!

I really like these shoes….. they’re nice and clean and soooo miami!!

What up my peoples!!!…..Its been a crazy month for me. Let’s start off with the greatest news I’ve ever received on a plane. On Nov. 4th we flew from Asia into EU….as we were about to land the pilot let us know that American citizens have a new president and his name is OBAMA!!! Most of that flight starting cheering and it honestly made me forget the long ass flight that we were on. The mood was great getting into EU, we knew we were getting a new bus so we were very excited. This bus made the US Glow In The Dark bus look like Greyhound. I was gonna do an MTV cribs vlog on the bus but it broke down 2 days before the end of the european tour and I couldn’t get to do it….DAMN IT!!!

Check this message I got on myspace:

“My poet friend wrote this piece after seeing a set of yours. He has since developed into a nationally acclaimed poet having released his first full length book of poems called “totem” - gregory pardlo.

Amazing shit and rarely does the subject matter realize or have a chance to dig off it. Check it out:

Must Be the Music by Gregory Pardlo - A great friend, mentor and intellectual hobo partner in crime…check that NYU Professor Pardlo these days ”

I plan out a beat juggle because
a beat juggle has to be planned out.
– DJ Craze

Apothecary of beats
per minute, he knows
what grooves are curative
and combine safely. He doses
the dance floor and the aficionados
crowding the wheels
of steel whose spiraled irises dust
wonderment like skull-hung
disco balls. A cleric of milk crates,
he tables duplicates and executes crossovers
like a concert pianist — so many, until
he’s in touch with the spheres
trapped in the flat aspects of the records,
handles them like black
basketballs hand under
leg, behind back, isolating a single
beat on each, sounding double
dribbles on the hardwood
of an empty gym echo-located
in his mind. He fastens the hooks
of melodies together and brings
the beat back. As if in Dantean
persecution, his machinery revolves
while he snatches fractions
of seconds from the fader switch
like a board-side timer
for a speed-chess match. He dials back
the drum and bass to circadian
counterpoint, headset shouldered
the way a safecracker might,
gives two turns right,
once left ’til a high hat wets
a griddle and the grooves of the single
cut on the twelve-inch record, wide-
furrowed for fidelity and bass, orbit
the spindle like an asteroid belt that
the needle, a Ouija’s planchette,
channels a grainy message from. The message
is a magnet, pendulous above the crowd
dancing tidal and iron-gray in the slow grope
of the spotlight, exalting them tautologically
to throw their hands in the air,
wave them.
