DJ Set Live From The Enmore Theater

Sydney, March 11 2011

Son. I keep forgetting how dope Mark Ronson is as a DJ. This set is incredible.

“Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.”

Basically the approach that has brought me into my 23rd year of life, and beyond.

Daughters - Nas

Mr. Top-Five-Dead-or-Alive drops an ode to the trials and triumphs of fatherhood. I love Nas.

Swooned. To. Death.

I’ve just “discovered” the powerhouse that is Kimbra for myself, sometime within the last 48 hours, and it’s a huge problem now. I actually haven’t felt this way about a songstress since, probably, Janelle Monáe when she dropped the video for Many Moons back in ‘08. But, apparently, every 4 years the fates smile upon my iTunes and bless me with passionate, soulful vocalists like this… and distract me from everything else in the universe.

Excuse me while I run off to plot my remix to this/continue to melt.

Small world, met Paul at TOKiMOSTA’s show back in April. I didn’t know he was a DJ, he played some pretty dope music :)

I like DJing to people. It makes me happy when I can make people happy.

On mixtapes.

Thu, 24 May 2012 23:51:47 -0400

Based on the reception to my birthday mixtape, The Jordan Year, I’ve decided that I probably love you all enough to suffer through mixing in Ableton to put together another one soon (I seriously need to get my capital up so that I can invest in a pair of decks and a mixer). That said, I’ve been in a very R&B/smoothie jam mood (no doubt, thanks to a number of cuts from Rashad’s dreamboat of an album). Now, while I think about what cuts I want to include, are there any jams you’d like me to consider?

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this album (this is SO much more than a mixtape) for jumpoffs like this. Cop Museum here.

The homie Bianca at Kid Icarus was nice enough to plop this on their Facebook page. If you live in Toronto and don’t wanna have to deal with this new e-commerce fad that out-of-towners have to put up with, you can just waltz right into their store on 75 Nassau Street and cop one!

kateburck:

I know I said I was going to draw something that wasn’t thesis related, but I guess moving makes you really busy or something.
Have some excessively highres stills from my film as a peace offering.

Dearest Killer Kate Burck:

I too have finished my thesis and schooling, and as such, have been on a cartoons kick. As a result, I can’t wait to see this, buddy.

Love,

(LRG + ELEV8TOR MUSIC PRESENT) R∆§H∆Ð ”MUSEUM” 5/21/12

I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this. Rashad may be one of my favourite non-beat scene producer since Just Blaze. Plus, no one’s made R&B/hip-hop sound this good or this groovy since the 90s.

On Heartbeat Pins and Brick & Mortar Stores.

Wed, 16 May 2012 17:18:02 -0400

I’m pleased to announce that all my humans in Toronto can now purchase Heartbeat pins at Kid Icarus in Kensington Market! There’s currently a limited number available at the store but if they move as fast there as they have online, they should be getting a larger order!

Also, for those of you STILL wanting to buy online, I’m now offering free shipping! Yay!

Today is my birthday. And if you’ve supported me, for even just a second of my 23 years, I made you a mixtape. Because I love you.
