DJ Kool Karlo

My brother from a hairy Italian mother, Kool Karlito...this guy is mesmerizing on the decks, what fascinates me most is his use, or should I say, pillaging of the Rane-57 he uses at his weekly party DAMN GINA at Ambassador lounge. I'm fairly new to serato, and watching Karlo use very button possible on that thing is very inspiring...

Ohmega Watts Guest DJ at Sweater Funk

We like to keep it suspenseful at Sweater Funk every Sunday, so yesterday we announced that Ohmega Watts (Ubiquity Records) would be dropping a set for us...he had the dancefloor poppin' til 1:30a easily...which was hard to do considering the weekend was filled with so many acitivites and sunshine.

My favorite cut he played last night was SLAVE "Steal Your Heart" (Click to Download).....Anything with Steve Arrington's voice on it is a winner in my book. From Showtime, the last Slave album Stevie was on.

Kon and Amir: Sweater Funk Special Guests

Sorry I am lagging on the updates, but this Sweater Funk shouldn't have been missed. In case you were sleepin on this one, listen to the live audio here-> Kon & Amir Live at Sweater Funk (Re-directed from DJ Proof's blog, Massive Selector)

That weekend was so live...many DJ's were in town for other gigs, U-TERN was one of them, coming all the way from Canada to show up in the basement!

More Than Just a DJ: Toph 1

Congrats to my DJ Mentor Toph 1 for completing the AIDS Lifecycle...he has been doing it for a few years now. He rode 560 miles & the event raised $10 million to combat AIDS/ HIV over June 6-12, 2010!

DJ Lymus aka MAK

This is a foto of my pal Travis also known as MAK from NOK (Nation Of Kings) back in 1989 taken at The Brooklyn Zoo. He is a staple at RUMPSHAKER and like to call him my #1 hypeman (when he remembers to bring his mic)

Mixcrate Pick of The Week!

I have been a supporter of mixcrate since it first began (owlboogs, where's my babytee?) It is a brilliant concept, kinda like a streamlined social network site for Djs and good music lovers. I like that you can listen to a mix on their easy to use player, then decide if you wanna download it.

This week, mixcrate chose Strut My Thang as one of their 'Picks of the Week'. Thanks Mixcrate fam!
