24 HOURS IN LA

This week has been crazy for me personally. My perspective on life changed a bit due to a sudden health scare and the entire time I walked more, sat in the shower more, thought more and restricted myself from more work. But the camera was still in hand. Peep the pics!

DTLA ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Yesterday I took my friend Nick through the backstreets and crevices of DTLA’s Fashion District then over to Chinatown for a bit with the camera in hand. Bumped into Tati and Lucas over at Grand Park for a cool hang session. Peep the snapshots!

TONIGHT | LATIDO | CANA RUM BAR

I love Thursdays! Chill. Drinks. Friends. Making new friends. Seeing old friends! It’s that one gig a week where I can actually carry a full on conversation about God, politics and the world while playing music from around the world. Strange it may sound but big love to all who came out last night! I had a blast.

MICHAEL MALTZAN X ANTVALA | KCRW’s GUEST DJ PROJECT

I love all things that surround us. Buildings, tree’s, random street art, or maybe even the way the sun might glare off a window or building. But who creates these structures? Who decides which way to face a window which might reflect the magic hour sunset? I have built an appreciation for buildings with soul and wall’s with meaning. Michael Maltzan is one of those architects who creates and designs complexes with a purpose.

LATIDO AT CANA RUM BAR

One of those night’s where the dancer’s come early and make the dj work twice as heard! I love it! Big love to all the friends who came out to Latido’s second night at the amazing Cana Rum Bar in DTLA! It was great to see so many familiar faces as well as meet some awesome listeners of KCRW.
The rain gods blessed us and went to lunch while we danced the night away inside this hidden gem.

LATIDO | THURSDAYS | CANA RUM BAR

I’m honored to be part of a special night at the Cana Rum Bar in DTLA a block away from the Staples Center. The fine folks invited me to present a night dedicated to world music and sounds. This night gives me the opportunity to dig deep into my crates of cumbia, dub, afrobeat, samba, sou, latin, roots, punjabi and so much more.

ELECTION NIGHT | GRAND PARK RECAP

What a night! So great to rock the party with the Dublab fam, Votolatino, the amazing staff at Grand Park and of course my fellow Angeleno’s who gathered, camped, broke out blankets and enjoyed the coverage of the 2012 elections. Every time CNN had breaking results you could hear all the sighs. Every time President Obama picked up states you could hear a gigantic roar! It was amazing! Peep the pics!
