Finished My New Theme

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Check it out folks. I finally finished a Wordpress theme for this site that I am happy with. I realized I needed to simplify things ALOT because this is a blog, not an online magazine…yet.

Anyway, as a central place for all the information of what I have going on in DC, and what I think is pretty cool going on, I think it’s does the trick. click on the catagories in the menu to find out the Dope Ish, DMV Classics, and events.

Its still a work in progress: I need to finish the comments sectio, search, archives and feedburner, but the damn thing is working. and I am pretty happy.

Enjoy.

Who I f*cks with today – Schlachthofbronx…Munich Bass

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Wow…shit gets around QUICK. I remember playing some Baltimore house (now Baltimore club) records in Montreal back in 1999 while I was in school, and people pretty much being like “what the f*ck is this?” NOW, we have the internet creating these mad cross-pollinations of style, cultures and beats. I’m absolutely a by-product of that, so I am not hating in the least. I am also not hating Schlachthofbrox, a DJ and production crew from Munich fusing Baltimore club, kuduro, bass, and dubstep. Basically a good mix of dope beats.

I found out about them from a track they recently did with Spoek from Sweat.X, Belly Full of Pills.
