long time, no post!

A lot has happened in the past few days!

One especially big happening was MonteRave! I'm REALLY sleepy right now, but before I head to sleep, I may as well share the photos from the night (which was INSANE, but in a good way).

I uploaded all of the photos I took that night to my Flickr. Have a look there, or feel free to click through this slideshow!



I'll try to update more after I wake up!

my first step towards world domination: appearing in a rave flyer! =P

Quick lil update:

Here's the flyer for MonteRave (which is Friday, January the 25th for those not paying attention).

MonteRave, January 25th, 2008

It's still pretty surreal to see my name and photo in a party flyer... especially up there with guys who've spun at huge clubs and massives for years... I can't wait to see how far (and how quickly) I can make it successfully as a DJ! I wonder if promoters, other DJs, clubbers, and ravers will accept the fact that I use the M-Audio Torq Xponent + MacBook combination to spin rather than using a pair of Pioneer CDJs or Technics 1200s (with at least Serato, if not actual vinyl). Well, that's really another topic that I can carry on for a while, so I'll do that in another post.

Keli did a nice job with the design, and I'm glad she actually found a pretty decent photo of me to use for the flyer. I kinda joked with Mick that he and I almost look like the same person in the photos. ^^

On my next day off, I'm gonna have to buy a bunch of CDRs and paper CD envelopes to burn a bunch of demo mixes to hand out after my set.

Oh, speaking of Technics, have you guys heard that Panasonic (Technics' parent company) will have all of its sub-brands (Technics, National, etc) be renamed "Panasonic?" So in a couple years, all new Technics 1200 turntables will be manufactured as Panasonic 1200s. I think.

my next DJ set: MonteRave! Friday, January 25th

Matt (Maitre-V) and Trevor (Omega) invited me to spin at their next party! I found out last night that I'll fortunately get that night off!

For anyone new to my blog, download some of my previous mixsets to get a good idea of what I'll be spinning that night! Oh, and btw, remember that eBreaks set I made a couple months back? I finally chopped it up into individual tracks (as opposed to being one continuous 80 minute mp3), so re-download it, yea?

2007 12/01 - live @ jacked up
