FIREFLY KCRW’S TOP TUNE. 10.12.09

antvala — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:25:55 +0000

Kissey Asplund

A major thank you to Ariana Morgenstern + Jason Bentley (Morning Becomes Eclectic) for picking the song I recorded w/ Kissey Asplund entitled Fire Fly as part of KCRW’s Top Tune of the day for Thursday November 12, 2009. Earlier in the year they had selected “Azucar” as their top tune which you can download and peep here. Fire Fly was recorded the night I first met Kissey and introduced her to In-N-Out, Los Angeles, and just the good energy that we have in LA. She wanted to capture her expirience over one of my beats and after months of mixing, layering keys and bass lines, we created a musical baby I am very proud of.

Tune in to Morning Becomes Eclectic at the 11′o clock hour on November 10 on 89.9 KCRW or online at www.kcrw.com

Tonight. (11.10.09) Tune in..

Another late night after FAST FWD at LITTLE TEMPLE with friends. Thank you to everyone who came out. Another fun night and a packed house. Its a blessing to be surrounded by good people with good energy and then hanging with the homie Leilani from Brooklyn + friends. Im usually the first one to leave the venue so i can get to bed but these past few nights have me getting home late and being surrounded by people who just justify life and its beauty. Maybe im listening to too much Lennon and space love jazz, but I love my friends.

Ant

A little something from the Yay.

These past few nights have been really nice. Settled after a few weeks of stress however, life is good. A major thank you to the folks who packed the house at Zanzibar last night. We had a packed house with nothing but positive energy. Always nice to do the classic double time booty set and watch people over 30 go bonkers. After the parties I seem to end up on Fairfax or in Venice watching the drunks be drunks. Hope to see you all tonight (Saturday at Little Temple). We go twice as hard!

love!

FAIRFAX AT @ 4 AM

VENICE AT 3 AM

KCRW’S HALLOWEEN MASQUERADE BALL. 10.31.09

antvala — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:43:24 +0000

Possibly the best party of the year held at the Park Plaza in DTLA. Seeing so many people in costumes and watching Little Dragon rock out was a major plus for me personally. Selection wise I tried to keep it moving with a world beat set that went into funk that went into house and that somehow stayed on the electro tip for a minute before ending w/ Blur’s Song 2. Raul followed and I ventured off to see Little Dragon just hold the crowd in a musical daze with synth bass lines and Yukimi Nago strutting her moves like only she can! Enjoy the pics!

Just got in the door and needed a rest. Last night I had a great time spinning w/ Norm Rockwell at Bar Dynamite. The drive to SD from San Francisco was kind of hypnotic but thanks to the new Havana Cultura Cd I managed to stay awake and get down there. San Francisco was alot of fun spinning w/ Spinnerty and friends at Wish Bar. Little did I know but it was around the various Leather Bars and I was able to check one out. Very interesting subculture. While hanging with friends I realized I had to go to the bath room. I was warned “Ant, if you go in, you might not come out”. I avoided. Anyhoo, Between the gigs, the recording sessions and the rehearsals with the live band, life has a been a roller coaster. But its the a blessing to do what I love and I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has assisted me in this process and lent their own talent, guidance and assistance.

On a closing note, I managed to stop by MCRD in San Diego where I spent 3 months of my life getting yelled out by Drill instructors but after watching recruits getting chewed out today, it dawned on me that those lessons learned in addition to the push ups, the punishment, the head games all made me into who I am today. And for that I am blessed. I truly felt that I did not want to leave the base. Everything my father failed to teach me by not being in my life, the Marine Corps compensated for. Okay no more cheesy afterschool thoughts.

Enjoy these pics!

Rehearsal w/ Wendisue + Dexter Story

The only pic I was able to catch while rocking @ Deep w/ Marques Wyatt. I had an absolute blast. Big ups to Joplin, Thuy and Marques for making me feel at home spinning some great music! Make sure to check out these folks on a Sunday night @ The Vanguard!

AUDIO/VISUAL VS DJ DESTROYER

antvala — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:26:52 +0000

Biggup Destroyer who also holds down Saturday Nights w/ me @ Little Temple with me did a beautiful megamix of AUDIO/VISUAL and does an amazing job of maintaining the spirit of the album. Here is a sample mix of the album. Im actually packing for SF and SD as we speak and loading the rental car but wanted to pass this your way. SF tonight (Wed) at Wish Bar w/ Spinnerty + crew celebrating life, and the record!
