DOPE NIGHT OF MUSIC

Got to see some cool different keyboards alongside my own tonight as i jammed with my boy Shaun Boothe at a private gala.  Fritz Helder and the phantoms (who also happen to be Nelly Furtado's backup dancers) jammed their 80's new wave style to the crowd as well. After the show, I talked geek to their soundman about the awesome music program ableton live haha

FAREWELL YOU DISASTEROUS INVENTION!!!






So yah I just wanted to officially say goodbye to my rocket launcher of a touring keyboard case. Quite possibly the most impossible thing to actually TOUR with. Can't fit in regular cars...takes 2 people to carry sometimes. Seriously we've had to roll this thing through airports, down miles of road to our gigs etc. At this moment I've decided never to use it for a tour again. U HEAR ME? NEVER AGAIN? Seriously how do other musicians do it?
Oh Well....,ADIOS!

GOOD ASS MUSIC

I heard Mat The Alien play this LCD SOUNDSYSTEM jam in Vancouver last week. I kinda forgot about this joint. I remember when they did this on Letterman, and Paul Schaffer was in the background going nuts. So dope.

CLASSIC MOTOWN: LIVE REMIX MEDLEY

value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WnoQc1GrEhM&hl=en&fs=1">

No one does it like the old days. Truly a classic "Live remix" performance medley by the giants of Motown. For those of you who enjoy good shit from the past. Four Tops vs the Temptation. This is so DOPE!

WINGS + HORNS FALL/WINTER COLLECTION









For sure my favorite label right now, and probably for the past year or so. Wings + Horns is super high quality gear that's street, but definitely taking it up a notch in terms of detail, fabrics, concepts and overall class. And they are Canadian :) Some of their stuff is manufactured in Japan,, but mostly in Canada at the same factory that does the Reigning Champ stuff out in Vancouver. Honestly, right now half my wardrobe is probably W+H. I highly recommend checkin it out. You can find it at Nomad in Toronto, Roden Gray in Vancouver, Steve Alan in L.A., and various spots in Japan. I think Holt Renfrew is also carrying it now as well.

GOOD ASS MUSIC

This is my homie Teeko from the Bay Area on the controller one (which is a turntable that actually allows to you play notes). One of my favorite dudes on turntables for reals. Look out for him and the FOURONEFUNK Cats on various live band projects. There stuff is like turntables meets 70s and 80s funk (atleast what I've heard so far). This solo just makes me wanna drive my car with the windows down in the summer. Also look out for a collabo show with them and KEYS N KRATES in the future.
