back from spain...

So I arrived home from my 2 week vacation in Ibiza and Barcelona on Sunday to the typical Boston rain and cold...and it's still August. Depressing. But not as depressing as having to return to Boston nightlife after partying in the dance music capital of the world and probably the coolest city I have ever seen. The musical highlight for me was Chris Leibing's Sunday Spinclub party at Privilege in Ibiza. LIVE, BANGING, TECHNO! Here is some video from my first night in Ibiza: MAW & Mr. V @ Defected in the House, Pacha.

swing it daddy

Ninja Tune's newest signing is off the chain. Probably the best marriage of House and Jazz that I've heard since St. Germain's "Rose Rouge". I blogged it on SoulClap.us and you can listen to some shit here.

I keep my fitted real low

Everyone's favorite fitted just launched a flagship store in NYC. If you don't know Below Zero will tell you.

"Kentucky blue shirt with my U.K. hat, straight from the K so I rep the Wildcats"

All night long...

No. Not like Lionel Richie (although this is probably the best commercial of all time), but like party til the sun comes up. This Friday my self and my Soul Clap compatriot Malik El Haj Chazz Shabazz III have the honor of opening up for the legendary Josh Wink at Boston's only afterhours club: Rise. This is one of our biggest gigs to date so believe we will be coming with some next level shit! Rise is members only so you need to hit me up to get in.

On another note: Diplo's Mad Decent tour hit Great Scott last night with CSS and Bonde Do Role. It was aight. There were way to many nerds in the building and it was a million degrees so they kept rubbing up on me with their nasty nerd sweat. Mistaker has a less hater review and he took this picture of me.

it's big like that

Soul Clap/NGP was just featured in the Boston Phoenix! Bigups to David Day for the article. Check it.

another dance

Big up the dance! Bird Flu...

Red Carpet Treatment

This Thursday I'm proud to welcome NYC party princess and promo queen Oxy Cottontail to Boston for her first ever appearance. This lovely lady DOES BIG THINGS. Don't sleep on this show, it will be a monster!

Killing it

Big things for Boston beat banger, Mr. Foxxxx! Keep doin it dunny.

The Beast

I'll be honest, I was rooting for Dirk, Avery and the Mavs, but I can't hate on Dwayne. He monstered the NBA Finals and is clearly the next MJ. Basketball fans thank you, Mr. Wade.

And while we're on the subject of sports... I love the world cup. GO USA!

PS1 summer warm up

PS1 recentlly announced this year's lineup for their legendary Saturday outdoor Warm Up parties. THe highlight looks to be the first event on July 1st: Body & SOUL Ten-Year Reunion with Danny Krivit, François K. and Joe Claussell. Def worth the trip to NYC.

this is the first year in a few that my bday has not fallen on the weekend, but it's all good, cause i'm celebrating on saturday when me and my main man Chaz Shabaz (the Soul Clap unit) return to Boston's big house room: Underbar. You best believe it's on with the Moet and Alaze in full effect bitches. Shout if you want to wild out with me.

boat cruise video

This is what I did for the long weekend. Too bad they overdubbed our house music with reggae. Big ups to Rich Future for the video.

wookie on 1xtra

Last sunday Heartless Crew hosted uk garage don dada Wookie on their weekly 1Xtra show. Not only was this man is responsible for the all time classic: Battle and many other pure UKG classics, but he used to be Soul II Soul's engineer. CAN YOU SAY LEGEND? Catch the stream before they take it down next sunday. And always check 1X for the hottest urban UK beats on the net.

boat cruise season

I have been way too busy...but this weekend is a long one (memorial day baby) so you know I will be rocking out on Sunday! Boat Cruise from 6-9 and Underbar 10-2 all Soul Clap all house music. The Underbar party is called Delicious and they promised:
-20 LBS of feathers covering the dance floor
-a king sized bed
-lace draped from the ceiling
-a midnight lingerie show from Modelworks
I would post flyers, but it still amazes me how promoters come up with the worst shit ever. Regardless the night is going to be NUTS! Holler for guestlist.

outerspace here we come

Soul Clap in the Rise lounge Fri night/Sat morn, 2a-7a. It's Boston's only afterhours and we all know that house music is better in the wee hours of the morning. Given how much we've been feeling the tech and especially Jerome Sydenham, expect outerspace and underwater vibes.Hit up my man Cnyce to get in for cheap.
