Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Last night was definitely a night to be grateful for. My night started with my weekly residency "Low Key" at Carbon in Culver City. Lots of folks came to vibe & groove with us. Special thanks to DJ Bennett (Amoeba Music) for coming thru as well.

Then I headed out to the 12th Annual Thanks Givends event to rock with all my LA peeps. Spinning 45's after Japan's DJ Muro & Stone Throws' Peanut Butter Wolf is no easy task, but your boy did it. After seeing those two rock, it's inspired me to hit the lab & sharpen up my skills! Much respect to both of them!

I didn't get say hello to too many folks, but I hope everyone had a great night! And don't forget, be thankful everyday, not just once a year. We're very fortunate to be living the life that we do :D

Low Key

In the mid to late 90's I discovered what the media labeled, neo soul. Artist like Amel Larrieux, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu & more. As a DJ, this was a sound that interested me the most. However, most DJ gigs required me to play more uptempo music.

Don't get me wrong, I love all types of music. But every Wednesday Night at Carbon, I'll be exploring all the r&b and soul music that moves me the most. I hope you'll stop by and join me sometime...
