My new mix for the Seclusias Who Run It!? podcast just dropped. One of my best efforts to date if I do say so myself! Shouts to Sonkin for bringing me on board. Also check out the program’s other guest mix from Kid Smpl.
Once again, I’m going to have my cake and eat it too. But wait, does this expression make any sense? Is there ever a situation in which a person would have cake and not eat it?
“Excuse me, yes, waiter. I’d like a cake…Noooo, not to eat, I’m going to take it home and hang it on my wall!”

*10 means 25. Often in life, we are confronted with tough choices. Coke or Pepsi? Rubben Studdard or Clay Aiken? To be or not to be? Deal or no deal? In each of these pickles, we also have another choice, namely whether or not we are indeed going to make a choice. Making decisions takes guts, intestinal fortitude, and moxy. Avoiding decisions requires cowardice, spinelessness, and anti-moxy.
I am here to tell you my intestines are filled with anti-moxy. I am not going to rank my 10 favorite tracks of the year, nay I couldn’t even narrow it down to 10. I am going to list my 25 top tunes…I’m sorry, dear reader…I feel ashamed…oh, the horror!…alphabetically…please forgive me! I’m drinking a cup of 50% Coke 50% Pepsi. I am voting for a genetically engineered synthesis of Ruben & Clay. I am both being and not being simultaneously. I am making a deal not to make a deal.

Salutations. I’m writing to you at 11:01am from a Finnish airport. Why? Why am I writing to you from an airport in Finland when I could easily be writing to you from a Danish bus station or a Turkish bath house? The answer is simple, my dear reader. When I was trying to select 10 belly turners for this month’s top 10 list, I had some difficulty completing the task. There was no end in sight! But then, just 20 minutes ago, walking through this Finnish airport, I saw a line on the ground. I thought, “my goodness! This is exactly what I need. A Finnish line.”
And so, with a borderline horrendous pun out of the way, I present my 10 favorite tracks that I heard in October.
October Top 10
1. Magnetic Man – Perfect Stranger ft. Katy B
2. Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand
3. True Tiger & P-Money – Slang Like This
4. Dizzee Rascal + Chase & Status – Heavy

I dropped a set for the Noise 212 ustream last week. It featured lots of dubsteppy/drumsteppy/drumandbasssteppy goodness, my own tunes, bodacious mic stylings, some scratches, and many awkward dance moves. Oh the memories! Relive the past below (tracklist after the vid).

I’m at it again. Why? America needs a DJ who is at it . . . again. What is “it” and what does it mean to be “at it”? The answer to these questions is a mystery. Which is exactly why I’m running for America’s Best DJ 2010.
But don’t just take my word for it. Take my word for it in the following video. It’s up on YouTube and everything, so you know it’s legit.
