AOR

So a couple weeks ago we threw our first Yacht Rock/AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) party at ¡Reunión! and not only was it a gang of fun, but I realized I genuinely love this schitt. Call it corny or soft or whatever, but I grew up on it. Just as much as I like Om Unit, Jessie Ware, SBTRKT etc. you can catch me listening to Hall & Oates with no shame.

While looking for more obscure songs and remixes I stumbled upon the AOR scene and this is something that needs to be brought to light. There's a whole genre out there I was sleeping on and thought some of you might dig it. It's basically remixes and dancefloor friendly edits of classic soft rock chunes. It might sound bugged, but I'm feelin' it.













If you're looking for more joints like this, be sure to check out the incredible AOR Disco blog. Gems jerry. Gems I tell ya.

Check out Aloe's new video for "You Make Me Smile" (Directed by Eric Coleman). Great job by the homies. Tugging at ye olde heart strings with this one.

So...

Back in August I got an email from DJ Hopper (SF) who made an hour+ long mix of all my music/releases/production. Needless to say, I was honored that someone would take the time to put this together, but I hesitated on posting it because as weird as it sounds, I was kind of embarrassed. Not to be on some false modesty ish, but I don't wanna be the "look at me" guy. That said, I would be the asshole guy if I didn't give my man's hard work some shine. So, if you dig what I make or haven't heard any original production, this one's for you.

Thanks, bud.

Les Disques Superfriends

This came out towards the end of last year as a limited 12" on Selected Sound and eventually made it's way to the digital realm. Serious heat from James Pants and Tom Noble (who's been killing it non-stop), reworking Klaus Weiss' stripped down drum tracks into something out of this world. I've been playing the Pants remix of "Drums Around" at almost every gig. It's a great balance to Tom Noble's dancefloor/disco re-work of "Drumcrazy" (which is equally as tite).

Enjoy and support the artists by clicking the link and dropping some duckets.

What's NXET

Yo! This Thursday we're setting off a new monthly Hip Hop night at ¡Reunión! We got 30+ years to breakdown in 4hrs so expect the unexpected.






















Also, I want to send a big shout out and thanks to DJ Concise and the crew at Vibes & Stuff Radio for having me on last Sunday for their 2 Year Anniversary show. Excellent folks and gracious hosts. I had a great time rocking with everybody.






















This Saturday you can catch me at this years Eat Your Art Out show in LA benefiting the Angel City Roller Derby Girls (3rd year in a row, behbay!). Always an amazing time. Free booze, grilled cheese truck and a huge line up of incredible artists. Dewrit.





















Last but not least, the fine folks at Serato just posted their take on the Do-Over NZ that's definitely worth checking... #SQ

Yo slim, what do you think this is, President's Day?
