LABOR DAY WEEKEND
What a weekend it was! Mine started in Texas on Thursday and didnt stop til last night really. I DJed in Houston and Austin for both very great parties on Thursday and Friday. Texas holds me down something spectacular, Houston So Real’s Matt Sonzala loves the music game just as much as I do. We are So Real cousins, so he says. There are rumors circulating in my inbox that I may be going back to DJ in Austin in 2 weeks for Austin City Limits. My fingers are crossed so hopefully it will happen and I will swim in Barton Springs this time. Oneoctobernight put his pics up and I put his pics up too. The nights in Texas were captured very well if I do say so myself.
On the return from Texas I came back in time to go to McCarren pool in BK for the last outdoor concert of the summer with The Rub, Gang Gang Dance, BBC and the incredible Disco MC Spankrock. They all killed it, but it has truely been so incredible to watch Spankrock blow up from the days of Philly when he told me he was making music on the dancefloor of Hollertronix to now, holding down large ass stages and captivating audiences as big as an olympic size pool!!! I got a little emo but quickly shook it all off and danced my emoness away. Amanda got up to do Bump with Lil RoRo and she almost coupldn’t rap when Rahfee climbed up on stage with her, that was funny cause she really was stunned. I was shocked that she was shocked. MIA even did Galang and Diplo hung out backstage like a stage dad! It was such a family affair for me. I was the first promoter to book Spankrock in NYC at this grimey spot 13 Little Devils and I made him perform on top of the bar. He was heated cause NY didn’t really get him then, they soon caught on though. It just took a moment boo.
After the spectacular show and pool party, I met up with Erica + Angel to go to Motherfucker which was madness to get into. We managed and caught the Cramps with an amazing show, the party was so insanely packed that we left and met up with a bunch of friends. Matt Sonzala just landed so we grabbed him and went to some cheap ass leprechan bar on 23rd St. Next thing you know XXXchange texts me and we’re off to Kush in the LES for DJ Elevens residency.
Next, it’s Monday and Rapid Ric has landed in NYC and it’s time for Sway.
