THE SHAKEDOWN

In case you didn’t already know, Sugar Foot is now every Friday at Verdugo Bar.  So on any given Friday, you’ll catch Hey Mesa, Dark Alley, Bad Knews, or myself.  I’ll be there this week with a guest DJ.  I’m bringing along DJ Hapa, from my Scratch LA Family.  Come on out for some good vibes, and good music!!!  I also share my drink tokens.

If you didn’t make it out last night to The Bridge, that’s too bad.  You definitely missed out.  Always a good vibe, and a cool crowd.  The DJs play whatever they want, and the crowd is with it.  Special guests Sleeper and Just Matter went all over the place with it, and pretty much blew minds with the 2×4 set.  I went on early right after Printz, and I was in a mid to late 90s mood.  I almost feel like I shouldn’t post this one up, and just add it to the “You Had To Be There” category, but.. if I post it up, maybe it’ll get you all to not sleep on this party and make it out next month.  As always… thanks to Hapa for putting me on this line up again.

DOWNLOAD MY SET HERE:  LIVE from #FeelGoodSound @ The Bridge

I’m really looking forward to this one.  If you don’t know about The Bridge, I put some links below the flyer in the post.  They link to recorded sets from my last appearances at The Bridge.  As always, its an honor to be a line up with good DJs, and I always like when I get to play good and fun music that I actually enjoy.  So I hope to see you there this weekend!!  Doors open at 9, and I go on second, so be sure to get there early.  Be sure to RSVP… its free, the music is good, and the vodka is free for the first hour.  Do you really have to think about it?  Just click on the flyer to RSVP, and you’re good to go!!

Recordings of my past sets at The Bridge:

THE BRIDGE – AUG 28, 2010

THE BRIDGE – MAR 30, 2010

Last Saturday was another edition of The Bridge, at Rehab.  Since it was DJ Hapa’s 30th birthday, we had a whole weekend of festivities goin on.  Instead of just DJing on the rooftop of Hotel Erwin, we actually stayed there.  Those are cool ass rooms!  Pictures soon.  Hapa set up a limo to go from the hotel to Rehab… and let’s just say… too many WOO GIRLS in a limo is NOT a good look.  Sorry you had to sit through that Cygnet.

Anyways… We got to the party and I dropped the opening set.  As I mentioned previously, it was a dope line up to be a part of.  I really wish I could remember more of the night, but the open vodka bar for the first two hours kicked my ass.  Good thing I recorded my set, and good thing the vodka didn’t hit me til the later part of my set.

I was in a Hiphop mood.  I haven’t been playing too much good Hiphop, so I took this as my chance to do that.  So if you’re lookin for some good Hiphop, or just wanna see what you missed out on… Click on the picture to download the mix!!

DJ SHAKEE live from The Bridge

This is a dope line up to be a part of.  I’ve got the opening set, so try to make it out early.  I promise, its a party as soon as the doors open!!  See you there!!

If you didn’t get to make it out the other weekend for my birthday parties, I’ve got you covered.  I pulled up the history on my laptop, pushed record, and re-did what I did on two of the nights.  Its definitely not exactly the same, but I did these recordings in one take, so I could at least get the vibe of it being live.  I skipped over the commercial club sets, from the first Friday (I may go back and record those anyway), and just decided to record my sets from Sugarfoot @ Verdugo, and The Bridge @ Rehab.  Click on the images below to download them!!  (there’s 2 mixes, be sure to get them both)

For Sugarfoot, I decided to go with a lot stuff that I’ve never really played out live.  Sorry if I don’t know the music that well, but I had fun giving it a shot.  Threw in some stuff that I do know well too.  If you know me, you’ll know which is which.

For The Bridge, I really didn’t have anything planned.  Cygnet drove while I put stuff into a create.  Literally on the drive over.  I went on first that night, so it didn’t really matter what I played.  Just decided to have fun with it.  So if you notice a handful of the same songs on both sets, its  because I had fun with it the night before.  This one has a little more Hiphop to it.

My original plan for my birthday was to do nothing, but then a lot of things came up, and I ended up with several events planned.  I got a little too busy to post up on the blog, but last Friday, I had two events.  I competed in the semi finals of this KIIS FM DJ contest.  which I will get into another time.  Then right after that, we all walked upstairs from Level3 to The Highlands, and I did a set with the Usual Suspects.  Saturday, I had a BBQ at the fam’s house.  Pictures up soon.

OK… here’s whats comin up!!!!  This Friday, I’ll be rockin with the homie Hey Mesa at his party SugarFoot at The Verdugo Bar.  Flyer up soon.  And on Saturday, its the return of The Bridge.  Brought to you by DJ Hapa and Mr. Choc.  We’ll be celebrating my birthday, along with Mr. Choc and DJ Dynamix.  DJ Babu will be in the mix.  Hope to see you there!!!

If you don’t know about The Bridge…. watch this!! Anything can happen, but whatever happens, the music will be GOOD!!!
