Hey Hey! I have been throwing a free dance party event in Durham, NC called Fresh Fruit since June and have been making some quick mix DJ videos to help promote it and thought I would share with you along with a more battle/hip-hop oriented video as well. Enjoy!
battle / open format quick mix
I have another event coming up on Friday Dec 20th, click the flyer below for the FB invite and to RSVP.
Whuttup gawds and gawd-ettes, or should I say ghouls and ghoulies. Didn’t plan on making a mix for halloween this year, but here we are. I was just sessioning previewing some songs for a gig on the 31st in Chapel Hill and it all just kinda came together. Enjoy!
Speaking of gigs here’s a rundown or what I got coming up this week…
Wed Oct 31 – The Baxter Bar & Arcade, Chapel Hill
Flashing Lights @ Quarter Horse Bar and Arcade
I have been doing this event for a while now, but have just gotten around to posting it here. Like vintage arcade games and booze? Like being surprised by the exceptional caliber of DJ/Turntablist providing the tunes on 1st Friday and 3rd Saturday? Then you are at #FlashingLights…
Good times at local Durham, Carrboro and Chapel Hill retailers for Record Store Day
Shouts to these fine retailers:
As well as dope ass local beat making crew Raund Haus for doing a rhythm roulette style challenge at Bull City.
I also managed to DJ a majority #Vinyl set last night at Quarter Horse Arcade
Lastly, in case you didn’t know I put in WERK on my scratch form this year, check the wear on my fader
Will be posting new madcap fun from my Back2BackFM (UK) and WXDU (NC, USA) shows to my Mixcloud page today or tomorrow.
Have a open format club style mix up on my Mixcloud page now. Take a listen and fee free to comment.
HAPPY NEW YEEAAAAHHHHH!
Made two iconographic vids some of my logo designs and two newer beats I made this fall.
Like books…Check ’em out.
I was lucky enough to get to curate this month’s #OnDeck playlist for my homies over at Apollo Playlists, I called it Resistance, Rebellion & Death after the Albert Camus book.
