Around the World pt. 8
As posted on the fab Fader blog.
When I wrote last Monday, it was the last day of my 6 week stay in Paris. On that evening I went to have dinner at Guy-Man’s crib. Of course I don’t have any pics… Duh, who has pictures of Daft Punk? It was ill though, and pardon my selfishness but I don’t even really feel little telling stories. I’m too much of a fan, I gotta keep this one in my little mental cabinet. Dude is mad cool and he remembers seeing me DJ at WMC in 1998 when I was 16.
Four Fast-Paced Days of A-Traking
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday I did 5 shows in 3 cities. You know what that means? A new blog for you, that’s what. I’m gonna throw Thursday in the mix too because I did some pretty neat stuff. So strap on your blog seatbelt and get ready for the ride.
Thursday I was invited to the Nike ID studio in NY to design some custom kicks and they filmed the whole thing with some interviews to tie it back into the Running Man campaign. Since I don’t know how to design I brought along Dust La Rock and Kesh for some help. When we arrived they had a whole team waiting for us. Nike staff supervising, interviewers, camera crew, people to help us design, etc. I felt pampered.
Do The Running Man
I can finally announce my record! The damn thing comes out in 2 weeks. Sooooo Nike does this series where they ask producers to make a continuous 45 minute piece of original music meant for people to jog to. I made one and it comes out June 24th exclusively on iTunes. The only catch is I don’t run. In fact I said it in the official press release:
“I don’t really run. Yet when Nike asked me to do this track I was smitten. There was a musical challenge there, and I got excited. I’ve been producing mostly uptempo electro tracks as of late, but my background is hip-hop and I think you can hear it in my choice of sounds. I wanted this record to showcase my current style, but I also didn’t want to stray away from hip-hop completely. That’s why you find guest rap verses in the mix, plenty of chopped & screwed vocals, and a hefty dose of drums breaks that are surely more block party than Ibiza.” — me
Catch An Attitude pt.2
OK kids, here comes a big announcement. Are you sitting down? Of course you’re sitting down, you’re at the computer. Who computes standing up? Maybe you should get up to sit back down, just to get that “this is serious” feeling. You ready? Alright, I’m going in. (pause)
Happy New Year!
Doulbe-0 7 is here, ladies and gents. Best wishes to you and yours. I hope you all had a restful holiday season full of spinning dreidels and/or waterfalls of eggnog.
I’ve been meaning to announce this for about a month, so I guess this is one of those “better late than never” things: the white label for my “Step Off” track with Little Brother is in stores now! But not for long because we made very limited quantities, so hurry. Hurry, you fiends of vinyl plates!
Now back to the torrid tell-all tales of traveling and tourism.
Trumpets please!!!
Holy moly, sweet mother of all things that are sacred, by the beard of Zeus and the nectar of the gods. (Deep breath)
Ladies and gents, duderinos and duderinas (if you’re not into the whole brevity thing). I am hereby welcoming you to the long awaited, highly anticipated and fauna populated arrival of my new website!
Dem nah ready. That’s what I say. Dem nah ready.
