Posted on Dec 18th, 2008

Sydney’s Bag Raiders just dropped this funky piano of a remix for OZ label-mates ZZZ. You should play it really loud while dancing around your room or washing your car or Twittering from your phone or doing any of the simple things that make life worth living.

Posted on Nov 18th, 2008

I haven’t posted in awhile because I just recently moved back to BK after being a World Traveler Adventurer for a couple months as well as having a spine-crushing workload. As the records have come out of storage and gone back on the shelf I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite classics with you..

Masters of the Universe (Joey Negro)- Space Talk (Strictly Underground)

Pal Joey- Party Time (Loop ‘D Loop)

Kerri Chandler- Atmosphere EP (Shelter Records) Jersey stand the fuck up!!!

I could go on for days.. Some real posts w/ deep thoughts coming soon, I promise.

Fool's Gold CMJ Wrapup

Posted on Oct 28th, 2008

We threw our 2nd annual CMJ showcase (and one-year anniversary party!) this past Thursday at Webster Hall in NYC. There was much cake, revelry and tunes from the crew, here’s the photo galleries and related linkery:

– Driven By Boredom photos (whole show / Kid Sis / Voice selects)
Last Night’s Party photos
– Behind-the-scenes glamour shots (and Q&As) from Metromix
Prefix Mag photos (more on Flickr)
– End-of-night foolishness captured by Nicky Digital
– NY Times story on CMJ merch w/ Kid Sis tee

My personal highlights include Nacho Lovers playing Circle Children’s “Zulu” while giving Armand a pound, Gant-Man’s epic hypeman skills keeping up with Kid Sister’s set, Dave1’s extra dapper suit, and of course being able to rock with practically the whole FG fam (Nachos, JOTS and Trackademicks stuck around all CMJ weekend so we’ve been handling photo shoots and meetings alongside late night ridiculousness and more food than I’ve ever eaten in my life. Call me Nick Fatdubs). Special shout-out to Scion for sponsoring the show and to Kenny and the whole Webster Hall team for making sure our champagne glasses were filled up.

Food Gold: Southwest

Posted on Oct 27th, 2008


I’m sitting in the airport in Phoenix, where due to an unfortunate circumstance (I’m an idiot) I’ve arrived 4 hours early for my flight back to NYC.  In the meantime, I figured I would share some of the highlights from my recent trip to the southwest, namely, the Mexican food.

Can't Believe It

Posted on Oct 6th, 2008

Hello from Helsinki!  My first Euro tour has been swell so far; I can conclusively report that Scandinavians have great parties and that the hotel breakfasts are off the chain.  Extra props to Patski Love & Chris Stallion a.k.a JUICY from Oslo, Even who took me skateboarding in Trondheim and Sampo and Jussi who have been excellent hosts in Helsinki (here’s some video from that show).  Today I’m off to London and the second half of the trip, dates and flyers on the MySpace.

Here’s a little treat that my girl Maggie Horn and I cooked up a few days before I left.  It’s a cover (not a remix) of the recent T-Pain hit “Can’t Believe It.”  We did a pretty loose interpretation (don’t expect Maggie to even TRY that Wayne verse) but we’re both very excited about it.
