2010 Thank you to you all...

2010 has indeed been an incredible year for me. A great deal of that I owe to the people who have patronized my events, the amazing DJs and artists i've been blessed to rock with in the club and the studio, my international family, and my loving family at home. Through al my ups and downs, it is this group of folks in varying degrees at different points throuhou the year who helped me maintain not only my sanity, but also heaped e raise the bar on my skillet AND my profile. I can not thank you all enough, and i promise you that 2011 will only rove to be more of the same from your mans. Thank you all.

Smirnoff's Master Of The Mix FInals Episode Tonight at Props 10:30pm sharp…

Thank you to everyone for all their encouraging words about my performance on Smirnoff's Master Of The Mix. I left my house for the final episode taping extremely confident that the remix i did for Talib Kweli was solid enough to earn me a trip to the finals in London, trust me. Not only that, but I felt as though playing vinyl ( and playing it very well, despite playing for 100 20 year old paid extras) would be the cherry on top that i needed to secure my place in the finals. Clearly, Kid Capri and the powers that be felt otherwise… It was a difficult day for me, but in the end I am extremely proud that the reason I did not make the finals is due to a vinyl purists decision. I have no hard feelings or harsh words, but rather i have the undeniable stamp of being THE ONLY DJ ON THE SHOW WHO HAD THE BALLS TO PLAY REAL RECORDS ON TV, LET ALONE IN A CHALLENGE DESIGNED TO PICK THE 2ND FINALIST ON THE SHOW. With that, i thank you Smirnoff, GTM Central, BET/CENTRC and my fellow competitors for an incredibly enlightening experience shooting the show. Here's to the opportunities that await us all going forward, and salute Vikter Duplaix and DJ Scratch for becoming the last 2 men standing. 

Tonight we air The FInals Episode ( Episode 8) of Smirnoff's Master Of The Mix LIVE at Props! Props is weekly at LPR, 158 Bleecker Street from 10pm to 4am. Come join us as we rock out for the final two Wednesdays of 2010! Let's close the year out strong family! Free before 11pm, $5.00 from 11pm to 12am, and $10.00 after midnight.
