Interviewed by Mehdipedia
My broham DJ Mehdi is starting a new series of interviews with buddies on his excellent blog, and I have the privilege of being the first subject/victim. Check it out! Of course by now you know that Mehdi and I are playing Studio B on Saturday in New York.
By the way that’s Bob Sinclair that we’re cuddling with above. I don’t know him. So it’s funny. To me it’s funny.
Paris Fashion Week wrap-up
I just came back from a 2-day, spur-of-the-moment trip to Paris during fashion week. This wasn’t planned at all: the Infinity +1 tour starts in a few days so I was supposed to just stay home and get ready. But last Friday Kanye popped into New York for a Vanessa Beecroft art show that he helped curate, and I went to check it out and say hi to the homie. As the naked ladies were laying between the statues of naked ladies, he told me he was dipping to the airport to catch a flight to Paris. “You should come, it’ll be fun.” I gave the old “I wish I could go but my tour is about to start and I’ve got a million things to finish up” response. It was such a caricature, I was the “regular guy” in a Visa commercial who ponders the impulsive purchase for once in his life. I went home pensive, and when I woke up the next morning I thought “you know what? I’m going.”
So Me “Lousy” t-shirt for Mehdi & me
The t-shirt tells a true story! Need I remind you that the Walkie Talkie tour was 1 year ago… hehe. Thanks So Me. The tee is available on the Cool Cats store.

Around the World, Pt. 12
As posted on the fab Fader blog
Is everyone excited to be back at work? Would it piss you off if I told you that I’m in Sydney where it’s summertime? No, right? OK cool, you guys are good friends. Now let’s go over the last couple of weeks, shall we? So umm… I don’t even know where to start. Christmas/Hannukah time was a bit hectic for me because it’s deadline o’clock and I’m at the finish line for my Sebastien Tellier remix and this mix CD. (The former goes on the latter). As you may recall in my last post, we had that Fool’s Gold holiday party with the legendary DJ Premier and Cipha Sounds. Our sponsors Pepsi decorated the space heavily with Christmas trees and snow flakes. It was a bit more festive (in a family sort of way) than expected, but I think that just brought everyone together even more. Since practically everyone on Fool’s Gold was in town for the weekend, I had a little get-together at my house the next day and we sipped on egg-nog while listening to Catchdini’s tall tales of grimy New York hip hop. He’s an even better storyteller than Abe Simpson.
Unibros Tour Recap (Around the World pt. 1)
Attack Of The Unibros tour: great success! Let’s recap, shall we? After spending 3 days mastering the Kid Sister album in London, being extra anal and working with the most awesomest engineers in the world to make the that baby bang like no other, I went to Germany for a triple-header of Unibro destruction with Boys Noize.
