EDC

I'm watching some videos and looking at some pictures of EDC and all I really got to say is damn, I wish I was there. LA seriously does it big with dance music type events. It seems in terms of dance music, almost every other city goes harder than San Francisco. I mean, I didn't go to POP, but in terms of the line up, I can already tell EDC was better. It seems like every time SF holds some dance type event, it kinda sucks. Again, I haven't been to many, so I can't really say, but....I went to Ignition this summer which blew except for my girl, Fidget, she absolutely KILLED her set...damn she is good. And then this weekend I went to Spectrum to see Major Lazer. They were alright, I kind of expected better, but the rest was just terrible. I felt bad, hardly anyone was there. Come on SF, let's get our shit together!

Rest in peace, MJ.

michaeljackson-gal-before

So as I'm sure you all know, Michael Jackson passed away Thursday, June 25, 2009, at the age of 50. He was really a one of a kind musician. MJ made incredible music as a young boy in the Jackson 5, and in my opinion, even better music on his own. Off The Wall, Thriller, and Bad are still some of the grooviest albums ever, and I'm sure they will hold that status for decades to come. 

The thing is, I had always loved the Jackson 5 and MJ's solo stuff, but it was never any music that really clicked with me emotionally, if you can dig. But now MJ's dead and it has really, really effected me. I never would have thought I would have been so crushed by his death. 

It is what it is though, but it sucks.

Rest in peace, MJ.

New production...

Sorry I haven't made an entry in while, but not a lot has changed musically with me until recently. I've started working on some productions for my close friend Jared Gropp. The tracks have finally hit that point where I feel I know where I want to go with them. I'll be sure to post some sneak peaks up on here as soon as I finish them.
