One Of The Funnest Pieces of DJ Equipment! 

The Denon DJ Prime GO has  been in my studio for at least several months now.  I've created a video to show what I like, dislike, and wish was different.  Nonetheless, I enjoy using this thing and practicing.  If you're a DJ, I think this might be a worthy tool for your tool kit!

Friday Night House Parties! *Live Mixes* 

Every Friday I'm going live on Mixcloud.  They don't interrupt the mix, which means I get to play music continuously for YOU!  I've done it for 2 weeks now and it's going smoothly.  So you can count me in again this Friday @ 8 PM Central.  Did I mention that it's FREE for you?  No ads & no shutdowns.. just music. Here's the link!

Sometimes 'No' Can Lead To 'Yes!' (Hopefully) 

OKAY, guys... so I didn't get selected for the @EDMDriveIn opening set opportunity.  I was a little bummed when I didn't see my name on the list.  But, I know that you only lose when you DO NOT submit.  That's the whole thing with competitions... you have no idea what or if the judges are even looking for anything.  Is it large amount of followers?  Specific music genre?  A certain look?  Who knows!  It's usually not off of skill, haha!  I say that because I knew some other well known DJs in San Antonio who also got passed up.  Sometimes that's just how it is.

So what next... Do I mope and feel depressed about the missed opportunity?  Absolutely not!  I took the time after the competition to complete my next EP "Skinny Dip" which will release in August.  I'm also realigning my marketing plan to better fit different revenue streams.  This recent 'No' has provided me more drive to continue honing in my craft as an artist and creator. 

I'm very excited about the future and I have faith that I will succeed in this industry.  Good things are coming because the hard work is happening :)

Mix Submission For San Antonio's @EDMDriveIn Event  

San Antonio is having an event called @EDMDriveIn.  I reached out about getting an opening slot and it turns out they decided to offer a compeition for local DJs to 'fight' for a spot.  So I did it!  I crammed 15 songs into this 30 minutes and offered up 2 originals and 2 mashups to personalize this mix a little bit more.  I hope you like it!

 

New Mix! You Don't Want To Miss This #TOTW 

I lead off this mix by playing one of the fan favorites off of my EP which is a track titled 'Giving Up'.  It leads off this mix, but mainly because I hope people dig the track and then go check out the amazing music video!

Track of the week (#TOTW): @ 40:30 Eli Brown - Desire

 

 

New Mix - Laced Radio #48

2019 Coming To A Close 

I've played my last live gig with some awesome DJs this week!  I've been DJing for these hOUR Sessions since May and I can tell, it really is an amazing treat.  I can free my soul and play the sweetest house music.  The crowd is filled with DJs and #EDMFamily.  It is a blessing to be able to perform at this venue and event.

 

I'll be back it in 2020.  If you're in San Antonio and love EDM... you gotta check this night out!

Summer Is Off To A Great Start! 

I had an amazing event this past weekend.  I played music that had a healthy mix of house and 'ratchet'.  It was beautiful and I had so much fun.  The cops shut us down right at 10PM (yeah, thanks Grand Hyatt!).  But it was a great event anyway.  I love what I do and am excited to get back into the nightlife! Stay happy, my friends.  :)

What I Love About Summer 

Summer is such an exciting time of the year!  You can go out and be comfortable in a T-Shirt without having lug around a jacket when you're in the club.  You can also always find something to do before the sun sets for the evening.  Here's a quick short list on why I love Summer:

  • New music is released from the world's Top DJs
  • Swim trunks are the new khakis
  • White jeans are back in
  • And finally... DRIVE IN MOVIES!

Oh, and I almost forgot about the best out there:  Rooftop parties!  My goals is to land a rooftop gig this summer.  Playing great music under the stars and sharing the night with a bunch of party-goers.  Ahhhh, I can feel the fun now.

Let's party this Summer together :)
