New Layout and Shiz

So basically I am trying to come up with a blog that is more pleasing to the eyes than what what I had going on here before. There are a couple of new things I added.

Hopefully you will find that reading my posts are a lot easier than it used to be. I was seriously getting a headache myself.

Over to the right you will now see my twitter feed. I like this thing a lot because I am a hardcore tweeter, and there is an option to follow me.

The thing that I am most excited about is the "Call Me" widget. Basically all that you will need to do is click on the icon and then put in your name and your phone number. When you finish that process, it will ring you phone and if I am available I will pick up and talk to you. Thankfully for me you will not know my number unless I decide to give it to you.

Let me know what you think when you get the chance. Holla!

Neglect

That is what I have down to this site. I have gotten so caught up in the twittering and the facebooking that I have forgotten that it is really lame trying to get your point across in a 160 character sound byte. You really don't get a good idea of the things that have been going on with me. Not that I plan on giving up either one anytime soon, but I am going to try and keep up with this site, and try to focus on music.

In terms of DJing things have been going quite well. I have been fortunate enough to play at the Moog parties at Red Maple a few times. The response has been very good, especially since my lastest gig there on September 17th. I was very honored to be given an opportunity to headline and to reach out to a broader crowd. It is a very humbling experience to get a lot of people to dance to what you are playing and to have them let you know how much they enjoyed it. I am hoping to do some more shows in the near future.

Next up on my plate and very much on my mind is trying to figure out how I am going to get down to the Winter Music Conference in Miami in March. It is pretty expensive to get down there and I am honestly stressed out about trying to get the money together for this thing quickly and to get people to go in order to keep the costs down. I wasn't able to go last year, and I have a strong desire to go, but they only thing standing in my way is money. This is probably the same problem for millions of others as well so I do not feel so bad about it. I am hoping for a big break of some kind, or maybe if I can get extra hours at my job I will work and make some serious overtime. We shall see....

Until next time, I am putting up a link to the recent moogcast (podcast). It is a very interesting take on how the Chicago sound is making it's way back into house music in a big way. I like this moogcast because I usually play tracks that have that funky Chicago jackin sound, but I am also featured on it at some point. I am not going to tell you where because I actually want you to listen to the entire thing. It also features music from Fangs Yeo, a vocalist from Britain who will be in Baltimore this week and I am looking forward to meeting her. It also features a DJ set from Audio Soul Project, who performed at Red Maple last Thursday. Enjoy!
