It’s been an amazing and interesting few weeks. Had a ball at The SLS in Vegas before taking a two week break from all the residencies. Then headed over to The Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix and meeting some wonderful folks who listen to my radio show. It always amazes me when I travel and meet folks who are familiar with what I do cause in the big picture of things I truly don’t know what I am doing. Just taking pics, playing records and getting to know folks across the country. Hope you dig these snapshots. And the Grand Canyon was freaking awesome!

“If you don’t believe you are the best, forget it! Don’t Get out of bed!” – Nick

I met Nick while en route to the Airport after dj’ing at the SLS. We talked about dj’s making thousands per gig and somehow the convo crossed the board as to why he continues to paint and drive a taxi at night. It was very inspirational. I hope you enjoy it as much I did hearing it from such a passionate man! This is my first time ever doing a podcast on the road with a random stranger!

Tonight and every Thursday night you can find myself and King Most (SF) holding down the fort at The SLS in Las Vegas. It’s been an adventure as you can probably tell via my instagram but one of the best experiences in 20 plus years as a dj/selector. Friday night I return w/ the SeSSionS crew that mixes live music with one of my favorite bands providing the good vibes. Always cool to play before and after this band. If you are in town, swing through!

Follow my adventures daily (or hourly in some cases) on my instagram account.  From airports to nightlife and simple walks with the dog, you really never know what you might come across (as displayed below).  I also house some of the content on my Ello page as well.  And if snapshots are not your thing, no worries, you can catch me dropping sounds tonight (Monday) on 89.9 FM in LA. That’s all. Have a great day! A few of these shots were snapped by Holly Port but 90% of what you see is from my I phone.

Night One of our kick off at our weekly at the SLS Sayers Club in Vegas was quite the adventure. But the energy and madness during our performance was something else!!!! Big thanks to Jason Scoppa + the amazing staff at this unique and special venue! We were in the middle of the madness and I broke out the GOPRO and recorded a little something.  The adventures continue Friday and just about every night! Swing through! Say hello!

Never Never Never step to Rich Medina asking him to play some B Boy joints.  Brother Medina will break out the 45’s with the vinyl cracks and play some records that were just might wear you out on the dance floor!  Dj 88 started things off with some classic soul and break beats and me knowing it was an “anything goes” type of night blended in some house cuts, a nice Maga Bo cut remixed by Sabo and a few joints off the Soundways label.  The dancers came out and got down!  I had lots of fun getting down and taking the occasional break to play a game of Super Mario Brothers and only got to level 8-2!  Insert Coins is the spot you need to be at when in Vegas! Great music ran by great folks who love what they do!

By far my favorite place outside of Cali to spin at.  Any time myself and Dj 88 go at it somehow we cover just about every musical genre there is!  got to see some friends who made it out and catch a few WWE Wrestling games. The service is amazing here too! Thanks to Chris for the awesome hospitality!   If your out this way on Monday night swing through for my final night here playing records with 88 and Rich Medina. Should be lots of fun!  Hope to see you there!
