Werk werk werk


Dear dreamers,
Been an interesting few months since my last post, I've been busy as a bee and had very little time to direct at promotion, DJing, partying and the like. I have had my eye on a VCI-300 MK2 ever since my old teacher Justin got one and now that I'm done with motorcycle class that will be my next purchase once I save enough green. There will be a bit of a learning curve for a month or two but it will be worth every minuet, I'm already super excited about it!
In other news I'm heading to FL to visit my boy's family for X-mas and will be back just in time for new years. Happy holidays!
I miss all you guys and I'll be back on the circuit again next year with a new found enthusiasm and joy/toy!

Whistler



Yes, I'm lazy but also busy and dealing with some heavy psychological shite. I had a fantastic Burning Man and played some nice campouts afterward. The industry I am in is busiest at this time of year and I feel like I need to hone my DJing skills a little more before a very important all night dance celebration this winter in SF.
Hopefully some mixes to come very soon!

Fine Cut Devils


Dear ravers, metal heads, hipsters, goths, hippies and non-labeled,
Amazing pride weekend!
Highlights included randomly running into my friend Spiro and DJing in his front yard right next to Dolores park, witnessing an engagement made out in green lazer, hanging with the east bay peeps (miss you!) and DJing my butt off on a Funktion 1.. again. ;)

The beat don't stop




Dear bad ass mother fuckers,
I am so freakin' tired still from the Feather River Campout but it was totally worth the energy, drive and time. I played a dubstep set and then a couple hours later played a funky breaks set on Saturday. Sunday I played a 4 hour house set starting with techno, tech house and minimal and then moved to electro cuz it's so easy. I impressed some Friends and Family which is good because I would love to play their main campout.
In other news I just started a new job at an organic pie an ice cream shop called Chili Pies some come on by! I needed a little steady job and I'm still working as a stage hand with Stage 2 Design as well.
And on to the fun:
Lots of gigs are randomly popping up which is awesome because things had slowed down to almost nothing earlier. Here is the down low low down:

Holla if ya hear me!




Dear funkateers,
Things are good, DJing a bit and working more equals a happy "rich" Devil! I have practicing a bunch now that I've got some sweet speakers and Serato 2.0 was just released. FX are dope and I can upload the playlist as I'm playing, feel free to check out my profile on the Serato website here. Lots of other cool stuff as well and I've started messing with midi controllers and thinking about buying one of those Korg Nano controllers(with all the faders and knobs). Any suggestions about a good pair of DJ headphones?

Some exciting stuff coming up! Check it:

FRC the Ocho (aka Feather River Campout 8), June 11-13, 2010
A Friends and Family Campout under the stars
on the banks of Bucks Lake

The Feather River Campout is moving to a new space this year. While it is still in the Plumas National Forest near Quincy, it's actually not, technically speaking, on the Feather River. It is, however, still technically a campout and we think you're going to love the new location.

Yes, we know it's a four-hour drive from the Bay Area, but can we tempt you with our beautiful campground next a gorgeous alpine lake? How about our sweet sound by P4 pumping out tunes from some of your favorite FnF DJs (and some new blood too)?

What if we told you that everyone's favorite DJ mobsters, the Ambient Mafia, will be your Friday night sound conductors, providing relaxing downtempo and ambient sounds to greet you when you arrive? Still not convinced? OK, don't tell the boss we're doing this, but we'll even throw in the friendly supportive community, cool hosts and several other amazing surprises for no extra charge!

Damn, you drive a hard bargain, but we're sure you're going to really enjoy this top-of-the-line campout experience.

Please come prepared! Treats to share, costumes and finery combined with common-sense attention to the camping environment, a pack-it-in-pack-it-out ethos, and your smiling face are all you need for a great time in the woods! There are campfire pits and onsite grills, so bring fuel and yummy stuff to grill. No food will be provided at this event, so BYOF.
Confirmed DJs include
r2witco
Hickory
Konkers
George Cochrane
Persefoni
Micron
DJ Fllow
Encino
Pauly Vinyl
Larry Ching
Audionista
DJ Salex
DJ Innaseoul
Whiskey Devil

Bare in mind, we all fall behind, from time to time






Dear disco infiltrators,
What an amazing month this has been! Yosemite one weekend, Mexico the next and job hunting like crazy in between.
So, Mexico.. ;)
Started off almost missing the flight down to San Diego then meeting up with Smoove, Michelle and Laird,(who I am still surprised I've never met before!) Short 1 hr flight down then split into 2 high-clearance vehicles and quick stop at the grocery store and on we went! Getting through the border and Mexicali was un-eventful thankfully and once we hit the playa (yes, just like the )'( one) we happened upon a bunch of Fuente partiers celebrating. An excited beer or shot and we all rolled out as one down the washboard road leaving only dust behind.
After climbing over some serious rocks and driving through a small river we were here! We unpacked and decided no to stay at any of the campgrounds but be a "satelite SFDJ camp" and found a nice private space next to the bridge with a bunch of palm trees and frogs. Set up shop with little light we had left then headed over to the stage to mingle, dance and later DJ.
Right before my set Saynt (who throws Fuente Eterno with Blue) explained my story to the crowd; How I had come to Fuente 2 years ago and never listened to electronic dance music until that pivotal party and am now a DJ because of it!
I rocked out like a mad man the whole time, the monitors sounded so fantastically clear (stereo) I couldn't help but dance my ass off, friends told me later all they could see were my horns bobbing and bouncing around.
Fuente Electro 2010 live set!
After that set I didn't sleep all night because of the energy I had stirred up, sleeping pills didn't help either.
Friday me and Lex went on a 3 or 4 hour hike up the canyon following the waterfalls and climbing over giant boulders the whole time. We made it past the 3rd waterfall and headed back since we had almost run out of water and food. In celebration we sat under a giant carved out rock next to the water fall pool and I got drunk off some rum and coke and he busted out a couple of Tecantes. (ah the Mexico life!)
That night was filled with some of the most amazing performances I had seen, the first was a native American goddess ritual with fire dancing and some of the most amazing hoop-dancing I have ever seen. The second was a western saloon shoot-out with everything on fire.(practically!) A great night of dancing and some hot-tubbing thrown in and I finally got some sleep.
Saturday is always the infamous pool party. Lex and I got there early and I went around handing out rum shots half the time, after a fantastic performance of "Dick in a Box" we left a little early and passed out for a couple hours... what a hang-over! That night was one of my best-dancing nights of this year for SURE. Tons on energy and dancing all over the place to some AMAZING DJs! Oscure, Michael Insane, and a couple more that I cannot remember at this time. Sunrise in the hot spring hot tub with some great music and great friends? priceless.
Sunday was roll around in the tent with Lex for hours then pack super fast then wait at the border for 2+ hours to get through then miss flight home (stupid daylight savings time) and crash out in the hotel. :P
Monday we ate at this awesome breakfast place in San Diego and flew home. Great end to a great vacation! Woohoo!!!
Here's a sweet video to check out of some of the stuff that went on there.

Just say yes


Dear Healthies,
This sickness is kicking my butt! I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning so no worries, they will fix me. (Thankfully even after coughing my brains out I can still do some internetting.) The fantastic Simple Greene recorded my set from Valentine's day so check it out and tell me what ya think! I'm not totally happy with some of the mixes but people seemed to love it there, I even got handed $10 from someone in the crowd! After a long day of depression and sadness then 6 or 7 shots of whiskey I think I did a pretty good job considering. ;)

Here it is for your listening pleasure!

Dear Kittens,
Well that was a crazy 2 weekends to put under my belt. I am still sick but thankfully I'm slightly less broke, I have to say I LOVE CLOSING. I'ts so much more fun usually then opening, the die-hards are always there and I get to play the heavy shit which is super fun. I get cut off early a lot because of the bar but sometimes I get to play longer then any one else. Valentines day was pretty depressing but once I got to Triple Crown, had 6 shots and later DJed my frown had turned upside down. One of the most fun sets I've played since Burnlesque, hopefully I'll get the recording from Simple Greene so I can share the luv.
So the only thing that's coming up for me for now is Fuente Eterno in Mexico! I've added some pictures I scrounged up from years past to show ya what it's like. 4 days of awesome sauce with 2 stages and a pool party on Saturday. Hiking, personal hotspring tubs at every camp site, 4 waterfalls, amazing views in a place that is exactly like what you think of as an "oasis". Tix are sold out but people will be getting rid of theirs all before the event so just check criagslist, FB and email the guys at the site if ya would like to go. I'm playing the main stage Thursday night (I think?) so if you are in need of a vacation this is the place to go!
Here's the blurb on their website:
"In the sleepy dawn of humanity, mankind made perhaps its most important discovery. Long before the advent of cell phones, motor cars, or even books, mankind discovered The Beat. The Beat gave birth to Dance and the timeless union of the two became the foundation of our most ecstatic celebrations and most sacred rituals. Only recently have the two been thought separate. Separate they will be no more.

In the past 4 years of Fuente Eterno, we have grown, loved, laughed, and shared. We have discovered that the spiritual and the celebratory are not only compatible, but essential to each other. Like our tribe, they support each other, define each other, and allow each other to blossom to their full potential of being. If Fuente Eterno had lasted 2 years, it might have been called "luck". If Fuente Eterno had lasted 4 years, it might have been called "persistence". However, now in it's 5th year... Fuente Eterno can be called nothing short of a phenomenon....... and that pheonominon is YOU.

We ask once again that you take up the instruments of our ancestors because The Divine is but a cosmsic conductor and we, the instruments being played by its need for infinite perspective. As a Tribe we will sing out our notes with such ecstacy so that the celestial sound rings in the halls of the ages and never loses so much as an ounce of the passion with which they were played. Discover the union of sacred and celebratory within you and the warmth of friends and family that surround you. Discover joy, laughter, love, and the loss of all unimportant attachments. Discover The Beat and Dance with your family, your friends, your TRIBE. Discover the Tribal Celebration....

Discover Fuente Eterno again... for the first time.

Welcome to Fuente Eterno…"

Much love and many hugs! WD

We won't stop!



Dear Sweets,
Last weekend really took it out on me, I think that was the first time I've played every day of the weekend. Now that I have semi-recovered I'd like to share with ya some upcoming shows and stuff! This weekend is looking to be even busier for me with multiple bookings Sat night, at least they aren't even a block away. :)

Hello kiddies,

Thanks to all of you for making our 3 yr. anniversary so special. Extra big thanks to Michael Hearn for rockin the decks on his debut and packing the joint by 9pm!

Our next stop on the FreeDub train we have a very special musical performance: BAM and M.O.D. will be tearing Shine a new one on 3 turntables, complete with scratching, funked-up goodness! This will be a set you do not want to miss.

Opening up the night is another up and coming dj who is quickly rising up, Whiskey Devil. We seem to be the launch pad for many a new dj in SF. (((I am playing first so come early early!))).

And, as always, your favorite resident djs, Floorcraft and Jonboy, will graciously do what they best: ROCK IT!

We will not only be celebrating (or bashing) Valentine's Day, but will also be celebrating birthdays of Yanti, Floorcraft, and all other Aquarians!

FREE before 10:30 by replying "Attending" on this invite. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=271978735823
Otherwise, it is only a measly $5, for what will surely be another epic night!

peace and love,

your FreeDub crew

In memory of two of my first fans, Randall and Eric.
Randall, you were there from before the beginning. You put up with my terrible mixing when I only played at the Department of Spontaneous Combustion every Thursday and even gave me props. Thank you for letting me stay at your house when you were in New Orleans a year ago, I wear the mask you gave me with pride and love.
Eric, You were the only person that could keep up with me at that Evil Breaks 5 yr anniversary party. Thank you for introducing me to Dragon and I'm so glad you were there at Jelly's for Peanut Butter Jelly time, that was one of my best and fullest dance floors ever. Thank you for rocking out!

Drunken Breaks recording, some of the mixing is kinda sloppy and I let Lex 1 play a couple tracks but it's entertaining! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/640594/WhiskeyTimeBreaksnormalizedandtrimed.mp3

Schedule and Burnlesque mix!



Dear Darlings,
I am so excited, I have finally figured out a mailing list! Google has always been kind to me and Red Stick Man suggested Google Groups to handle sending emails and the like. I'm still getting used to it and only have about 25 people but I plan on bringing out a little notebook to my gigs and upping that number soon.
So, here is my schedule of upcoming gigs! ((( I have no idea yet when I'll be playing at most of these gigs so just plan on coming early!)))

Shine - 1337 Mission St. San Francisco, CA

A Celebration of Our Love....for sexy breaks, electro and bass, and a special birthday celebration for Amanda M.
We're getting the drop on Cupid and celebrating our day of love a week early, professing our devotion to all things electro and breaks, though we are exactly on time to celebrate Amanda's birthday, and we've got a lineup to do both in grand fashion. I wanted to assemble a pre-Valentine's Day lineup of LOVERS of dance music, DJ's who could deliver one of those nights at Shine that leaves you feeling like you got away with something by only paying a $5 cover. I think such a lineup has been assembled (no pressure, DJs! :)). come join the love.

Sexy beats with no punches pulled by:
Influence (StrategikSF)
Dex Stakker (Opel)
Whiskey Devil
Rumblemunk (Rumblemunk.com)

Winter Witness

My dear troopers,
How was your NYE? Did you party your ass off as long as I did? I had a mental break down at Supper of Survivors, I hope I didn't make an ass of my self in front of Felix the Dog!

Last week I got a bit drunk and listened to DJ Icon's breaks mix and decided I needed to finally record a breaks mix of my own. Yeah, there's probably some electro house in there but I can't help it, I'm still learning where these genras draw the line!

Here it is, turn it loud!

Also, I wanted to invite you over to urmystar where I will be trying out their hosting and posting and other internetty goodness for a little bit. Please check out some of the other DJs stuff and explore, this set will be posted there shorty!
