I’ll be spinning out there in a few weeks, along with J-Rocc and my main man, DJ V-Nutz @ The Shelter.
*And by “peoples” I mean Soul Sides’ fans, not, you know, Chinese folks since that’d be about 10,000,000 peoples.

I have 5 Year Anniversary Special CDs ready now – I’ll probably give away a dozen or so tonight to whoever asks. Come on out!
I’ll be on Garth Trinidad’s show tonight, during the 9pm hour, talking about the site and spinning about 30 minutes worth of soul 7″s. You can listen in online for those outside the LA area. Garth Trinidad – KCRW
First of all, Soul Sides is celebrating its 5th anniversary party in Los Angeles at the Shortstop next Thursday (May 14th). I’ll be spinning solo, trying to mix in as many “Soul Sides classics” (presuming such a thing exists) as possible. I would love to see my Southland posse roll out in full force. That night, I’m also debuting the 5th Anniversary Special CD, which will include as many of the 20 “5 Year Rewind” songs as I can fit. Free to anyone who comes up and asks for one (while supplies last, of course). I’ll also [...] Continue reading BRING THAT BARTER BACK! (5TH ANNIV. MIX) Update 3/20: I have a few guest list spots open – email me and I’ll confirm with folks by tomorrow morning. People keep asking me, “when are you going to DJ in New York City?” You can stop asking. It’ll be this Saturday night, with DJs Mao and Muro, at APT.
The theme – properly enough – is all covers. Mao and Muro collaborated on the excellent Run For Cover II mix-CD and I’ve been touting Deep Covers 2 myself. It’ll be the West Coast/East Coast/US/Japan team-up for all things cover song related. (BTW, I’m out [...] Continue reading O-DUB COMES TO APT THIS SATURDAY NIGHT (NYC!)
Shout out to Bao Tran, the Seattle filmmaker behind Bookie who stopped by with some friends. The upside to a totally [...] Continue reading ALMA…MUERTA
I’ve talked about Beto before – he’s one of the most knowledgeable people I know concerned the jazz/soul/Latin music scene in Central/South American (the Afro-Antilles as he refers to it) and he wrote liner notes for both the Panama and Colombia comps. This should be a real treat – he’ll be dropping in around midnight and hopefully will be blowing minds with some incredible Latin heat. I think I might just turn the whole evening into an all-Latin affair in [...] Continue reading BETO DROPS IN AT BOOGALOO[LA]
Some highlights: Chad 2: “Where’d you come from? The Short Stop? I had a three-way kiss there once.” Chad 2: “I’m here with this girl I picked up last [...] Continue reading CHIT CHIT CHATTER |

So Alma was an unqualified…flop. Clearly, we underthought the importance of outreach for the venue which only makes me respect the success of their Wed and Sat salsa nights even more; they must really have done a bang-up job of getting the word out. I can’t be 100% certain about this, but I’m pretty sure our only paid guests of the evening partially comprised of an older sugar daddy and his younger, um, “friend.”
