Whats up folks! Things have been reeeealy busy lately. I'm actually checking in from tour! (El Paso, TX to be exact) For those of you that don't know, I'm currently touring with a great comedian by the name of
Carlos Mencia.
He actually gave me a call and asked me if I'd be down to come in and be a part of the show. He wanted me to take some classic comedy bits and do a comedy / music megamix type of thing.
You know I'm always up for a challenge, so Carlos and I have been grabbing some of the most famous comic sound bytes and I've been cutting, scratching, remixing stuff to put it all together. It's a fun show. If you have time you should
definitely come check it out! There are also some other comedians on the show that are hilarious! We've been incorporating music in to thier acts as well so it's really interactive. Other than that I hope all is well with you
guys and thanks for checking in. By the way, here go the tour dates up to now! Hope to see some of you out on the road!

Yeah yeah, I know....where the f**k have I been! Well for those of that have been waiting on an update, I've been knee deep in wedding planning and djing
pretty much all over the place. I finally got a minute to chill while I'm out here in Whistler, BC. There's a huge festival going on called the Telus Ski And Snowboarding
Festival going on out here and I'm going to be playing at a cool spot called Maxx Fish Lounge out here while it's all going down. Should be a good time.
I'll get some pictures up from the whole experience up soon! But other than that some great things have been popping off. For one we (the Fingerbangerz and our good friends from Mass Productions) started a new weekly in San Jose
called FM Thursdays and it's been jumping off consistantly for the past month or so. So thats been fun. We've also been in talks with our good friends the Jabbawockeez about
composing original tracks for thier upcoming shows. A major collab is in the works people and I'm really excited to be a part of it. BIG UPS to the Jabbawockeez for taking home the title
of America's Best Dance Crew!
Peace!

Whattup everyone, GC checking in on everyone and I hope all is well. We're coming up on Thanksgiving time and things are busier than ever. I got
a bunch of things lined up and in the works, as far as djing, production, and just life in general, but I'm really excited about this:
I have a feeling this one is going to be banannas! It's dope cuz it gives me a chance to break out my old 90's favorites, but I also get to play with a legendary
cast of dj's too. If you can make it, I strongly suggest that you come out.
On another completely unrelated note: To all of you dj's that insist on playing sets riddled with Fat Man Scoop loops track after track.....No disrespect to Scoop but please, please, please for the love of music, stop and try something
else. The era of screaming all over a track about pulling out your $20 bills is over. As my man Dj Platurn says; "Let's motivate".

We got a big update here for ya today ladies and gentlemen. So I finally finished the Lookout Weekend Tour with the homie Dj Platurn and I'm finally getting settled and
back into the normal swing of things. Thanks to everyone that came out to the various shows and thanks to the homies that helped out along the way to make it a success! You guys know who you
are! Also, now that I'm back, I've been setting up some good things in the Bay with the crew. We've been having Music Machine going down on 1st and 3rd Saturdays in San Jose but
we've just linked up with our good friends @ Blufizz, and we've got a Music Machine going down in San Francisco at Milk on 2nd Saturdays! Hopefully I'll see some of you out there!
Aside from that, I'm moving back to the Bay from Los Angeles, I recently survived a hurricane in Cabo San Lucas, and I just got engaged to my long time girl Shirley! Big thangs poppin
kids!

From the Bay to LA yall!

Yo everyone! It's been a busy past few weeks. I had a chance to rock with my man Z-Trip wich is always fun because you never
know what he's gonna throw down so it keeps me on my toes. Believe me, attempting to keep up with the guy while we rock 4 turns
is never an easy thing to do. One of the real dope things about that night was that a legend in the old school battle scene made
an appearance and rocked with us. Who!? None other than the mighty Dj 8 Ball (92 DMC West Coast Champ / 93 NMS World Champ) That
same weekend I had a chance to rock with my man Shortkut which is always dope because he too is without question not only one of the
illest of our time, but a legendary cat as well. Big ups to my man Franboogie and the Triple Threat fam! Other than that, I just had
a birthday celebration and I feel old as dirt, especially when kids are referring to Biggie as "old school".

Rest In Peace to the Godfather of Soul
Unfortunately we've lost another legendary musician in 2006. Rest in power Dilla, and JB, both of which were major infulences in our lives. A new year is nearing and it's time to start fresh.
There were alot of things to look back and smile upon about 2006. One of them for me of course was the evolution of the Music Machine
party along with the Big Beat with Dj Platurn. Unfortunately, the venue at which we had these functions (Sofa Lounge) is coming upon it's closing
days. We wish the best to Tim, Mike and staff in the future and hope we can all reconnect again soon.
On a lighter note, A couple of good things are coming down the pipeline. The Live CD is in replication so I should be getting those back
so there is that to look forward to. Also, a show with Cut Chemist is coming up which is dope for me simply because he's one of the illest
in my book.
Other than that, I hope everyone had a great holiday, and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!!!
Peace!

Well October is over and done with and now we're on to November and I've been busy as hell.
Running back and forth from LA to the Bay is taking it's toll on me but it's been well worth it.
We had our Music Machine 1st Year Anniversary and also celebrated the 9th Year Anniversary
of the Fingerbangerz Crew.
Damn I feel old. Well beyond that Z-Trip and I had the Halloween Massacre Show which was fun. I practiced my Cheech
impersonation for days. Peep the footage!
10.13.06
October already! Well here we are in October and things are getting crazy.
It looks like another show with my man Z-Trip is coming up over at The
Vault 350 in Long Beach so if you are in the area you should come out. It's gonna
be a good time because it's basically looking like it's gonna be an 80's themed
Halloween party so it'll more than likely be a crazy night. On top of that the
Fingerbangerz monthly Music Machine at the Sofa Lounge is nearing it's 1 year annaversary so that's
big for us. It's been a fun ride so far and thanks to everyone that's been out
to support the night. There are some good things in the works. I put together a short
mix that I will post up soon so be on the look out for that.
