Reblogged from The Phonocator:

I have known DJ ARQ for years now (Since our college days at WBMB Baruch College Radio) and we have always been good friends and partners on the wheels of steel (outdated term?). So, who better than him to guest star on the podcast and play some weird tunes for all of us to listen to & believe me, he plays some weird joints on this one.

Some pics I took in the last month or so! I encourage all of you to keep track of your life through pictures. You won’t regret it when you’re looking back at your most cherished memories  (whether it be in a year or at 65).

Cheers!



Memorial Day Rooftop BBQ Vid!

Filed under: Thoughts

Jeff from Blind Barber was kind enough to host a Rooftop BBQ Party at his apartment building last Monday for Memorial Day and it turned out to be better than we could have ever expected. Shoutouts to NSR, Dash Speaks, & Colin for relieving me of my DJ duties throughout the day. ALSO, KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE MIC UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET (“Everyone turn around, LETS DANCE to the sunset”)

ALSO, HUGE shoutouts to Blind Barber & VANE NYC (Atif took some great pics & shot the video posted above)

We’ll keep you posted on our next one.



Starting a New Mix Series – Awoken (Pt. 1)

So I just got a full DJ set up in my house (Turntables & a Mixer) & I figured I’d put them to good use. I’m starting a series of mixes where the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is jump on the 1′s & 2′s. I’m just curious to see how a night’s sleep can effect my song selections. Who knows?

I’m really happy with how it came out. Enjoy!

Para Sharlene: A Latin Mix

Cranked out a mix this morning for my friend Sharlene (for her Mom’s Birthday). Anyways, No crazy tricks or blends just dope selections from my salsa, latin house, merengue, cumbia, and samba library. Excuse some of the hiccups throughout but I was cooking breakfast at the same time :-P

NEW MIX: Almost There (Pt. 1)

Hey ya’ll,

I just finished up  a new mix that I’m quite proud of. As a whole it’s quite different than my Slow your Roll series which consists of mostly House/Electro. This time around, I’ve compiled (and edited) tracks that are very dear to my heart; songs that I listen to when I’m in need of an escape. I’m a sucker for love ballads & funky basslines, so you’ll hear that throughout. I’ve also squeezed in some NeoSoul and afro/latin inspired beats.

Thanks for listening.
