Been a while, what’s up world? I tend to hibernate a bit in winter. I’m just popping my head out to show you this promo mix I put together for The Slackers’ forthcoming album, The Great Rocksteady Swindle. Peep Kerosene toasting over some heavy riddims from one of NYC’s most soulful groups:

I’ve got some more local gigs coming up, and will post about that soon. Til then, be easy…

This Thursday, Drum Attix & Theory Events present Gros Fête: a multimedia wet dream featuring DJ Ayres (The Rub) on the decks, a gallery exhibition showcasing up-and-coming local artists and a 360° immersive video installation by the Glass Bead Collective.

This free event at Gallery Bar will be hosted by my longtime collaborator MC Ryan-O’Neil with the usual Theory / Drum Attix resident DJs: myself, It’s Overture and DJ Scallywag. We’re all looking forward to flanking Brooklyn heavyweight DJ Ayres. The mixed media art show includes works by Lauren Bahr, Lindsay Bourget and Math-You Namie. Doors at 6 PM!

Due to some building code violations at 205 Chrystie, ArtCrime is temporarily taking up residency at the Belmont Lounge (near Union Square) until further notice.

I want to make sure it ends on a high note. I just got back from Bermuda and wanted to shed some light on one of my favorite underrated producers: Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.

Now up for free download… All Summer Long: The Brian Wilson Mix.
