In 2 weeks ill be hosting a KCRW Guest dj spot with Charlyne Yi! I was excited! I was really stoked to sit down and go over her song selections. But I had to get one thing straight. Who is Charlyne Yi? Answer – The next big thing on the big screen! Trust! I became a huge fan of Charlyne the more and more I did my research. Make sure to stay posted as ill let you know when the Charylne Yi vs. Ant.Vala will be available!
Ladies and gents. I present Ms. Charylne Yi!
Ive been wanting to post something up in regards to the huge impact Michael had on my life but just feel like anything I write could really serve no justice. As a kid growing up in LA with a very unique childhood, MJ taught me it was okay to be different, creative and to always accent on the one and the two musically. I once performed at the Super Bowl Half Time show as part of the “Heal The World” segment. I remember prior to coming out, I found myself in one of the many tunnels standing beside OJ Simpson who was doing reporting at the time (this was pre murder thingie). OJ and I watched MJ do his dance moves and OJ had no words but could just shake his head in disbelief at the ways that MJ would defy gravity with his leg work.
The way i hear music today and the way I make music is attributed to MJ. He taught me to not only hear the music but to feel it. To accent it. Anyhoo, Seriously, I refuse to write anything any further because I could the man no justice. But I do remember watching Moonwalker, Remember the Time, and all his videos over and over and over and over and over and over and learning all the dance routines!
So Mia (Zanzibar!) and Novena (Babystone!) came over and we sapped away at the Stevie doing his number and Paris breaking down. Enjoy the pics! Shout outs to Jess (who is in Europe) for the flat screen and great sound!

May god bless me with one of these… seriously y’all.. mother nature is knocking but im not answering.
I am currently working on a remix to be released from Amoeba Records as a digital download and a 7 inch (vinyl). The joint is from former front man of East LA Sabor Factory’s Ricky Ray Rivera and featuring contributions and verses from Illa J, Medusa, Rashaan Ahmal (Crown City Rockers / Mission) and Chali 2na (fingers crossed). Today we finished session one. I was surprised to find out Oingo Boingo’s very own John Avila was mixing the project and tracking the vocals.
J came through and laid down some straight soulful heat. I told Ricky I def. hear Medusa killing the chorus and J rocking this one part with his cool harmonies.. So far so good. Stay posted!

For years Ive been hitting up Baghdad Cafe in Castro. Amazing Banana Pancakes! Enjoyed breakfast here. Then met up with Rep Life who is not only an amazing emcee, ph.d student @ Berkley, but an educator and one deep dude. Dropping knowledge about the education system and building satellite net works with schools in New Orleans, India and around the world. Biggups Rep Life. Moving on..
Best Breakfast in the bay!
And across the street one of my favorite coffee joints, Cafe Flore. Wi fi, Lip singing Trannies on Monday night. Now thats a par – tay!

I still do not have the words to describe how I feel about this.. But this says it all for me. Biggups Mr. Brainwash once again.

A while back Junior and I linked via the internet. I was familiar with his radio show in Philly entitled “Eavesdrop” and catered to the progressive soul / broken beat fusion happening in Philly. After exchanging emails, he and his wife stayed with me for a week @ the old art compound now being used by Fly Lo, Teebs and Samiyam.
Our friendship grew and eventually Junior put out my 7 inch on his label “Recordbreakin” which also released 7 inch singles by Kissey Asplund, Omega Watts (m64), Spinnerty, and Dot.Matic + many others. Junior is the man behind the full length by yours truly.
To return the favor for him believing in my art and music i figured the least i could do was take the brother out for LA Kogi! Shout outs to Eavesdrop / Philly / Recordbreakin Music!
Meet Junior of Recordbreakin
Junior, meet Kogi.

Every Saturday night in Los Angeles I hold down the fort w/ some amazing friends and family @ Little Temple. For the past year its been nothing but memories and more to come I’m sure. I never considered myself a “promoter” however somehow I find myself just pushing away on this night. Hope to see you here sometime soon?
actlikeyouknow!
andifyoudontknownowyouknow...
Ever since I was a kid, my grampa encouraged my creativity. I remember being restless at the table while he ate his pork and beans and me doodling on napkins, paper or whatever was in sight. Then one day I had the brilliant idea of putting objets at the table into the art pieces. 27 years later, the activity never stops.
Reminds me of Aha's "Take On" Me video.
Zap Mama came through to LA and as you read in a previous post, rocked out w/ some of LA’s musical luminaries hours after touching dow in LA. She jammed till about 12:30 am before having to head back to her hotel to get rest for her performance w/ Jason Bentley of Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW. Her load in time was 8 AM!! Here is a clip of Zap Mama and the crew on MBR.
Then later in the night I was able to hit up the El Rey show where J Sole was opening on the decks and I introduced her. Lots of love inside the El Rey that night! Biggups Tyler / Cary / Rocky / K’Nann and other folks in the building that night. Peep Zap Mama’s entrance. I think I might need to do this @ a gig.

What a show. Nicolay / Phonte and the fam put on possibly one of the best live shows Ive seen in a minute. Earlier in the day (im talking 3 am to 6 am) I had to do my radio show. Get little sleep, then off to the Falcon to dj and enjoy the Laker game. David Banner was in the house alongside Aysa of Fusicology and friends. Great time. Then had to bounce by the 4th Quarter to get to the FX soundcheck. I was able to catch them warming up during their soundcheck.
Phonte + Nicolay about to hit the stage.

A couple weeks back I posted up some footage of Mr. Brainwash who is an amazing talent in Los Angeles’s street art scene. He did this amazing mural of a Pollack stencil actually splashing colors onto the building off La Brea + Pico. In honor of the LA LAKERS winning another title, Mr. Brainwash is back at it again with his homage to the LA Lakers. Enjoy the pics. Ps. I had no idea Novena Carmel of Babystone had hops.

Last night my man Plandru held a jam session which featured some LA’s groundbreaking and established talent as well as a very special guest in the house. Shafiq Husayn (Sa Ra) and Mark De Clive Lowe on keys alongside LA wiz kid Computer Jay. Andres Renteria on percussions, Miguel Atwood Ferguson on viola, and many others on instruments.
On vocals, Novena the nut, Nia Andrews and Zap Mama. It was an impromptu session with amazing sounds coming out of the studio. I remember J Sole and my boy Andres (Sweeney) all looking at each other after hearing this amazing bouncy bass line that sounded so strong and solid. Once we got into the room all the vocalists were vibing in which Zap Mama began her chant and went into something that i hope surfaces on video or tape. I managed to film some of this.. To be posted later.

No. Well.. After 10 days of growing a beard, it was time to remove, but i tried to go for the Hulk Hogan mustache and ended up looking like the cop in the village people..
Young man, I was once like you..
This week I got new music from Sa-Ra (Thanks Junior), Mos, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Hawthorne Hunters (Thanks Ced) and mucho mas. Tune in this Sunday morning on 89.9 KCRW @ 3 am (pst). Thats kinda like when the clubs let out.

So I already blogged about David Choe I think a while back in complete admiration for this “Thumbs Up America” series on VBS.TV. I just got a couple David Choe tee shirts @ Giant Robot which are worth the money. In the form of a womans head which somehow forms into a makeshift city. I guess i could take a pic but im too lazy. Anyhoo. Dont sleep on the Choester.
Choe / Vala
Nuff' Said..
For the past few weeks Ive watched older white men in the media attempt to smear this woman. Ive watched men vocalize their fear of this woman. Ive watch these same men state that they fear she will judge based on her experiences as a Latina. Is it not fair to say that since the existence of the Supreme Court as a whole, that the majority of those decisions were based on their experiences (as dominantly white experiences)?
Let me be clear, I hope ultimately hope that no person bases their decision and perspective of law on their specific racial experiences, but as a humanistic experience as a whole. This woman grew up with a mother who supported her, and struggled to make ends meet while pursuing her education. Its nice to see people with these experiences in the Supreme Court and the White House.
One Love / Alegria!
AV
Seriously, I hope little Ms. Ant.Vala ends up like this.
Another great night presented by KCRW. Port O’Brien from Nor Cal rocked the spot! Their song entitled “I Woke up Today” somehow has become my mantra / anthem. Pretty eclectic crowd so I didnt know what to play in my set but dropped some MGMT, YYY, Nickodemus and went all over the place musically. Shout outs to my new friend Avalon Omega for the love! I believe this runs for one more week so if your near Beverly + Robertson make sure to check out all the great work of Los Angeles emerging artists.

last week House of Camperi and KCRW presented My Barbarian, this week Port O’Brien is this weeks guest artist @ the House of Camperi on Beverly + Robertson. Ill be back on the decks rocking out tunes once again. Last week I think I tweeted how interesting the event was with the patrons in the house. Very cool art scene showcasing tons of emerging artists in Los Angeles. Come through from 8 pm-10 with drinks provided by Camperi!
After watching this video I think its official, Im a Port O’Brien fan!
I slept on these for a long time. Always saw them and never wanted them, until they were sold out. I went to every single Nike outlet in LA looking for these. Finally found em @ Fightclub on Fairfax. My prayers were answered!

Saw this and i know this feeling! Should we ever sit @ a table, please be aware of your foot situation.
An amazing night this weekend @ Little Temple where I hold down my Saturday residency. Hope to see you there one of these Saturday nights. It was an awesome and totally radical weekend @ Zanzibar on Friday then Saturday. Oh, and then the Falcon with Monica Payne and Shelly Otto of Honey. Lots of Sangria, friends and new music. So now its time to recover! Sleep! Just wanted to share one of my favorite images captured by Puffs. I dont know why but this image is really cool. Its a projected image of a pic captured about a year ago. Little things tend to me move sometimes

Last night hit up Dam’s spot in Culver City. The minute you enter the doors your thrown back into the 80’s. 808’s, 120 bpm claps and snares bang away with pop lockers. Brought Novena with me to introduce her to Dam. Dam who is a huge Sly fam had been giving Novena + Sly props all day via Myspace so i thought the two should meet. Good folks + good energy. Im still think a Dam Funk + Babystone collabo would groundbreaking.
DAM + NOV
Im still trying to convince Novena on the idea of DAMSTONE!
Im telling you. Babystone + Dam = DAMSTONE!

much love to Allen Drake of CNN.COM for discussing Sly Stone and his newfound influence by his daughter Novena Carmel. Novena is a nut, my friend, co-worker, booker, boss, fellow youtube freak and sister all in one. anyways peep the CNN article. Yours truly got quoted in it. Big ups to Rachel of KCRW for making this happened as well.
Sly w/ Chris Douridas @ KCRW
Loving these. So walked into a Sneaker shop in DTLA on my way to catch the final quarter of the Laker @ Pete’s and these caught my eye. Colors are on point. I rock a size 11. Found these and they only had a size 13! Still cop’d em! And Lakers took a 2-1 lead in the series. It was a good day in LA!
After about a 5 hour sleep from the previous night rocking Zanzibar. Got to hang out with some good friends I had not seen in a while. Dam Funk + J Logic @ La Cabana over taquitos is always bomb diggity @ 2 am in Venice. Next morning heard the Kogi truck was around the corner in Venice.. Needless to say. I was there alongside the homies Jrza + Marvin.
In line..
Killing time.. where is that Kogi Truck?

Step outside your door only to see Chase One doing his signature eye ball art pieces on the corner of your block. Classic! On this fine day before I had to head out I saw Chase One doing his thing. Had to run back to the Valadez Manor to get some pics of the artist himself doing his craft. If you live / lived in / passed through Im sure you have seen his art up on walls through out the boardwalk / alleys or in Abbott Kinney. Shouts to Lisa who I met chilling eating her mango as she watched Chase do his thing. Enjoy!

Not a word! Simply twitter!
Still twittering.

FRESH knows he wants some..
Singer / Songwriter Van Hunt is possibly one of the most talented dudes that continues to amaze me. Last Friday KCRW presented Van Hunt for his record release party. Van went through new songs as well as songs from his days on Capitol Records. Van has just released “Break in Case of Emergency” through his website which you can purchase there. The new album is lovely. Same ole soul / funk and moving joints that got me into him in the first place.
Van played with a 3 piece doing re worked joints from his previous albums. Shout outs to Louie / Nettie / Beth Topping (KCRW) and all the other folks in the house to witness this man do his thing. If you missed it, Van Hunt will be doing one last show with us this coming Friday (MAY 22 / 09) @ Zanzibar. Ill be back on the decks warming up the night as well as closing. Also, massive biggups to Holly Port for these wonderful pics!

As some of you may know, I have been geeked about the new Undefeated / Converse collab. Im not a fan of Converse, but anything in green and made out of bomber jacket material gets the thumbs up! Im glad I got to the Silverlake store 4 hours early. I was number 7 in line and by 7 pm the line went around the block. My first experience of sitting for more than 4 hours in line for a line of new kicks. Worth it. Biggups to all the cool folks i met.

Every time I let people crash on my couch while passing through LA they ask about Dublab. Mweslee (Spain) Kissey Asplund (Sweden) Junior (Philly), they all ask about Dublab. Dublab is the mecca (or so it seems) to music lovers who have developed this musical community via the internet. On any given Tuesday you might hear a live dj set from Daedelus, Samiyam, Fly Lo, Ras G, Kutmha, myself, Carlos Nino or even a live set w/ Mia Doi Todd, Blank Blue or some cool hip band fuzzying the labels and classification of music. This week they continue their pledge drive. Its important that you support this community and become a part of it. We all know what mainstream radio is like, this however is a wonderful escape.
( ( ( ( ( ( Click here to hear some of my previous dublab mixes ) ) ) ) ) ) )

Much love to Tania (Space 1520) The Nester (KCRW) and Dana. Novena and I checked out the screening of Maestro Knows last night @ Space 1520. If you have not been, Been! Go! Do! I wasnt sure what to expect in this screening but I enjoyed what i saw. Its a mixture of skateboard clips vs on the road with the band (Anthony Hamilton) and then a showcase of BJ the Chicago Kid. BJ is the truth! He was in the house and rocked the house with some acoustic soul. Make sure you google the Maestro Knows videos, and make sure to visit Space 1520! Lots of cool events in the future plus film screenings!

A wonderful Sunday in the Mar Vista area as the family and friends gathered for the 2nd Annual “Sights and Sounds” festival which consisted of live music, dee jays, story telling, and food. Its unfortunate it takes the passing of an individual to bring so many people together. But I think Dusk’s brother said it best.
“Dusk is not dead. He only dies if we do not keep his name alive We keep him alive”
I sat there inspired watching the energy of the community come together in the spirit of love + peace. The night before I began my KCRW show with a wonderful Dusk freestyle with Miles on the beat. Chills down my spine.

Last night I was out in the streets @ 2 am taking La Brea home towards the 10 freeway and noticed this amazing wall space with a Jackson Pollack stencil alongside a JP art splash all over the wall. I instantly pulled over and examined this piece as my Jeep continued running. Did my research and turns out its Mr. Brainwash who I have been admiring for some time. His work is all over Sunset Blvd. and under Freeway passes. Enjoy this cool clip of Mr. Brainwash! And if you get a chance go visit it off La Brea near Pico!
