Back on the Grind this Saturday, July 4th

Yeah, but is it art?

I’m honored to be invited back for another episode of Contemporary Arts Museum’s Steel Lounge Underground series. This month features myself, The Tontons and Austin favorite Chicken George. Last month, the party moved to the main upstairs gallery, so there’s more space to shake it and plenty of room to accommodate a large crowd. I’ll have copies of a new mix CD on-hand for this event; stop by the booth and pick one up!

Sunday May 31st in the Park (Austin!)

Note: this is likely to be the only time I ever drive to a DJ gig with a fishing rod in my gear stash.

Kickin’ off the summer LARGE: May 30th at Block21

The last time Champa took the helm at Block 21 for a Love Is In The Music party, there was a line around the block by 11PM. Don’t sleep on this night, get there early and bring your dancing shoes!

Time Machines

While doing some house renovation this past weekend (ah, domesticated bliss, etc.), I came across a wooden box full of old mix tapes. Score! The top prize in this cache was the master cassette of a drum and bass mix that I recorded in the fall of 1994. I thought this cassette was lost to time, which makes the find just that much more sweet.

‘94 was a vintage year for this music; the mix is easy on the anthems, heavy on the rollers and full of vibe. So without further ado, here it is, digitized from the original C90 and presented for your listening pleasure: Harshing Your Mellow.

Basement Transmission

Here’s a live set from my recent trek to Austin. I’ll get the tracklisting up soon.

A Contemporary Fix

Great clip from Lindstrom’s recent appearance in San Francisco. It looks like a brilliant night! Check out the whole set of videos here.
