IMG_20130511_040513-pola01

What a night! It’s hard to fit in this many live sets but we did it.

I want to shout out Paris DJ’s for lacing me with a more than generous amount of music. Some of which I opened the show with.

We also had the pleasure of having the Scenario Dj’s join us live in studio.

The Remitch, Baby Bubba, J.Esteban & Dubs.One all rocked live sets and killed it. Celebrating the launch of their new residency taking place on May 11, 2013 at Senor Fish in Little Tokyo.

4.27.2013 : EPISODE 214 : Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation

The universe alined and made an interview with Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation possible! I am a huge fan and have been since I discovered their music some 10 years ago. Pioneers in the field of electronic music, their production fuses jazz, funk, reggae and world grooves together and when done creates a very unique sound. I had to cut some of the interview in order to make room for a small tribute mix I did at the top of the show. I had no serato records and instead had to use my mouse to control the pitch … NOT AN EASY TASK. That’ll sure teach me to never forget my records!

Rob-GarzaBe on the look out for the new Rob Garza Remixes Album out in May on ESL.

Then DJ GROWEYEZ closes out the last hour of the show with an incredible on the fly mix!

Happy Birthday to I,Ced, Jimetta Rose, Alex Ortiz, Jeremy Mennell, Danny Holloway, Norman Mayers, SEANO and all the Taurus’s in the world.

Turn It Up!

4.20.2013 : EPISODE 213 : Sir Froderick, SeanO & DJ GroWeyez

SirFroderick

YEEEEEEEE. I love it when a plan falls apart and then an equally awesome one presents itself. We kept things super simple this week. I opened the show with some afro-psych sounds and then started a new style of set which led off with a new track from Computer Jay called “Harships feat. Orfeo”. An amazing tune with awesome visuals as well.

Following a few tunes selected by (SEANO). We had a very special live set by Sir Froderick

A very talented and productive individual Sir Froderick is one of the best right now in the beat scene here in Los Angeles who has releases on Record Breakin’ and Insect Records. Check out his bandcamp. (Link posted above)

Following the live set from Sir Froderick … Dj Groweyez closes out the show in style!

4.13.2013 : EPISODE 212 : Azul 213

Mr. 213 himself stops by … Azul 213 who is a good friend of mine has been to the studio a few times and we decided that it was his time to shine…and sweat he did…I mean shine. He threw down one hell of a set in the first hour and if that wasn’t enough he laid down a second set in the 3am hour as well. Just peep the tracklisitng and prepare to replace the souls in your shoes!~ Dance flavors from all over the globe.

After Azul did his thing .. Sean O stepped up and put down a hypnotic House set which started out with new FaltyDL (one of my favorites)

Closing out the night in fashion was DJ Groweyez who threw down an equally impressive set of his own.

As always … TURN IT UP & ENJOY!

4.6.2013 : EPISODE 211 : Asya Shein (Fusicology) and Mona Lisa

So nice we had to do it twice!

We welcomed back to KPFK the mastermind behind Fusicology, Asya Shein.

Fresh from Winter Music Conference in Miami…Asya brings some serious South African House selections. We did things a little different this time around … Asya supplied me with her selections and I proceeded to blend them together live in studio. What an honor and a pleasure it was to hear such refreshing music from half way across the world. (I have lots of research to do!!) A super busy individual we were lucky to have Asya back in the studio. I predict there will be many more visits to come!

Please do yourself a favor and check Fusicology out on the web!
