Pop Rocks Tonight @Duplex Diner!

Bozick and Tassa- both single- both cute- both play totally different music- makes for a nice balance- so check them out tonight at the duplex diner- 18th and U

I will totally be there if they play this amazing song....

The Units- High Pressure Days (Rory Phillips Remix)

Kings of Convenience are back!

it's been a long 5 years- however, the side projects of whitest boy alive and kommode made the wait much more easier to endure - but finally kings of convenience are back w/ an album that's set to drop in the states on october 29th.

you might remember kings of convenience from one of the greatest music videos ever made- seriously- for "I'd Rather Dance With You"

it's so great- and the first single that's been leaked is called Mrs. Cold- sounds pretty vintage Kings of Convenience but I'll wait to hear more music from the new album before I judge.

Kings of Convenince- Mrs. Cold

digging this little boots remix

Glad I got some different Lil Boots songs to add to my arsenal!
Little Boots- Remedy (Buffetlibre vs Sidechains Remix)

up to 11

thanks to everyone who came out to the diner's 11th year anniversary party on saturday. bozick and i had a blast! hope you enjoyed my diner tank top and bright purple pants- oh and my music too.
i sadly don't have any gigs planned until the next aural pleasure on august 21st, which is crazy considering how busy i've been- but i'm sure something will come up- if you need a DJ let me know!

Feeling generous- download some Major Lazer ASAP
Major Lazer- Jump Up

Duplex Diner's 11th Year Anniversary!

I'm really pumped to be DJ'ing Duplex Diner's 11th Year Anniversary. As many of you know- Eric gave me my start as a live DJ there, and the place simply feels like home to me. Robbie Bozick and I will be DJ'ing that night- Bozick on the early side, me on the late side- but we'll probably play some stuff together too. Should be fun. I know there's a lot going on that night w/ Shift and Blisspop- but if you're part of the Diner Family- you should definitely stop by at some point!

This new Kid Sister song will definitely be played
Kid Sister- Right Hand Hi

PS- i'm using mediafire instead of yousendit from now on- mediafire is way better i think!

alice in wonderland trailer + pogo "alice" mp3

After searching endlessly after the trailer was taken down from most blogs- i found a decent trailer of Alice in Wonderland to post- it will probably be taken down from my little dog and pony show here too. So check it out while you can!

Also- here's a great little mp3 by Pogo featuring clips from the original Alice
Pogo-Alice

Beastie Boys got some sad news :(

New Poke Her Face Video!

Aural Pleasure was RIDIC!

Thank you all so much who came out to the premier of Aural Pleasure last night. I had an absolute blast. Gay Hip Hop night- fun stuff. I'll do a whole recap/set list thing tomorrow- but I'm on the run. But if you haven't seen this article about local DC DJs doing a campaign about respecting your DJ- it's a good one/pretty funny!

Oh and here's a song you should check out- geez this is a lazy post
Dan Black- Pump my Pumps

Aural Pleasure Preview- 2 day countdown!

Hey Champ

some of you may remember i posted a hey champ remix of french horn rebellion's "beaches & friends"- but now i'm super hooked on hey champ's own music. apparently they're on lupe's label and are chicago boys to boot. this video is genius and i'm hoping it's what aural pleasure looks like this friday! check it out and d/l some jams! hey champ is very retro/disco/electro- no surprise i dig it.

GET IN ON THIS HAWTNESS

The Hood Internet- Roscoe Girl (Hey Champ VS Beyond the Wizard Sleeze VS Midlake)

so what is Aural Pleasure, you may ask?

hip hop meets electronica. rap meets indie. r&b meets house. pop meets go-go. and everything in between. i've been very fascinated by the convergence of the indie rock world and the hip hop world. it's growing at an alarming rate, and, quite frankly, it's an exciting time in music.

here are some prime examples of what i'm talking about for d/l, fools:
Flo-Rida feat Wynter- Sugar (Mondotek Remix)
The Bloody Beetroots feat The Cool Kids- Awesome
Dizzee Rascal- Holiday (Produced by Calvin Harris)

announcing aural pleasure- the next best party in dc

The party starts on July 17th- a Friday night at Dahlak (across from Duplex Diner, old Mixtape location). Come check it out around 9:30PM and RSVP on Facebook.
