Sweater Funk Chicago Massive

This past weekend, 9 of the 13 of us formed like Voltron and played The Whistler, Empty Bottle, The Brickhouse and Goorin Bros. in-store. So it is no surprise I lost my voice Sunday evening. The highlight of the weekend was getting accosted on the dance floor by 2-Step Lou and watching Zim Tawada kick a guy out of his house & force him to hand over a fistful of cash. Know that you will never get away with peeing on a crate of records.

Thanks to Shredders for spearheading this event, it was such a success another event is being planned for Fall.

I miss my crew already

SOLID GOLD at RODAN THIS SATURDAY

I entered this world 27 years ago on April 11th, one hour after my twin brother Michael. I sometimes forget I have a twin brother....but I am always reminded of it because I always have to share a birthday cake! Hmph. But this year my Brother will be in Mexico on our birthday and I will be here in Chicago hitting up The Pump Room with my flygirls.

I didn't plan a big party this year, but rather a bunch of little celebrations spread over a 7 day period. Join me this Saturday for the closing ceremony of my birthday week. Me and my Boogie Muster Boys Tim Zawada, Shazam Bangles and Kool Hersh. Sleazy dancefloor burners all night long....

THE SMITHS: TZ EDIT

Zim Tawada is one of my favorite things here in Chicago. Looking forward to playing with him on the 14th at Rodan...His B-52's edit was awesome, and THIS right here...I love El Moz, good job TZ

SWEATERFUNK in CHICAGO

It brings me great pleasure to share this image created by Freddy Anzures. I can't even capture in words how excited I am to have my Sweaterfunk family here in Chicago...it will be the first of many out-of-the-basement parties we will be doing. Just trying to spread the love like honey...and PS if it wasn't for Shred One, this wouldn't be going down! She inspired me to move here. Love you Sheels

METROACTIVE WRITE-UP

MamaCuts: My Life Partner

Thank you to METROACTIVE for featuring one of the mixes most dear to my heart Getting To Know You Vol. 1. We recently released the mix digitally for the first time, and I can't wait to do Vol. 2!

Getting To Know You Vol. 1

First time we've released it digitally in its entirety (so far, we only had a teaser) but here it is in all its glory! Me & Cutso's baby...a project very close to my heart. We created the concept for this mix over breakfast one day in San Jose, because we both realized how weird our musical upbringing was. We both had bouts with new wave, pop-punk, metal, latin freestyle, and of course a heavy dose of g-funk...so we wanted to make a mix that was something like a soundtrack to our lives thus far. Each song has special significance to us-and since this is Volume 1, this mix just barely scratched the surface to our eclectic history. Volume 2 is in the works and will be coming out soon...stay posted!
