Ballin!
Ballin at the top of the Bellvue Hotel for Halloween with Soul Travelers Orchestra and The Gray Kid. Costumes required.
We're mad psyched to present the city's biggest Halloween party along with the Soul Travelers at XIX (say it like 19) at The Bellevue on Halloween night this Tuesday, October 31st. XIX, say it like 19, is probably the raddest spot in the city. It sits on the top floor of the legendary Bellevue Hotel and overlooks the entire city. Huge ballroom ceilings, multiple rooms and plenty of space to dance. This will be the second year the Soul Traveler's Orchestra will be performing on Halloween. The Soul Traveler's Orchestra is DJ's Brendan & Joey Blanco with a live backing band of incredible musicians, led by the legendary James Routh, that play along with the DJ's. They destroyed it & packed Denim last year and now we're all collaborating to turn the party dial up to 10 at XIX.Just added is The Gray Kid. He's responsible for the hilarious Paxil Back track. MySpace here, website here. Download Lonely Love here.
The party starts at 9pm. Costumes are required for entry. It's $15 at the door, but just $10 on the list. Spread the word to all your people and get ready for the Haunted Hotel....(insert evil Vincent Price laugh here).
Bonus track: Jim Jones feat T.I, Baby, Young Dro, Diddy - We Fly High Remix

Hand Fed
Exemplary music is hard to find. And I'm lazy, so that doesn't help. What does help is an underground radio station called Soma Fm, broadcasting out of San Fran 24/7 throughout the world wide tubes. The music is hand picked, which means you're not just getting fed some random songs. You might hear repeats from time to time, but I'll bet you won't mind.
I recommend the "cliq hop" channel, for the comforting sound of pops and glitches placed under the reins of unruly beats. Or "beat blender" for some shuffling downtempo adventures. Whatever genre you pick, you're likely to be exposed to something explosive.
I was especially blown away by the group The Cinematic Orchestra who combine jazz and downtempo elements to initiate a full force bombardment of auditory artillery upon your unsuspecting frontal lobe.
Check out this myspace fansite for a taste.

October Monthly Mix Winner
Marlon Williams (born September 30, 1962 in Queens, New York City), better known as Marley Marl, is an influential hip-hop producer. He was the house producer of the Juice Crew, which included (in addition to him): Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shanté, Kool G Rap, MC Shan (his cousin) and Masta Ace, and produced songs for outside artists including King Tee and LL Cool J. He was also an important figure in the careers of Eric B. & Rakim, producing their first hits "My Melody" and "Eric B Is President", mixing James Brown samples and synthetic beats in a fashion previously unheard of. Marley Marl was one of the pioneers of sampling in hip-hop. He debuted as an electro producer, but his records became more sample heavy, as can be seen by comparing the MC Shan LPs Down By Law (1987) and Born to be Wild (1988). The rhythms became less electronic, with drum machines becoming less prominent. Marl started his career working for Tuff City records. He debuted with his own track called "DJ Cuttin" in 1985, released under the pseudonym NYC Cutter. In 1994 Marley Marl was referenced on Biggie Smalls' track "Juicy" as being one of his early influences.Cousin Cole - Marley Mix

TTC & MSTRKRFT at Taxlo Baltimore
We finally arrive, Cullen Stalin is on the decks in the main room playing club music including some brand new MIA that killed it. TTC is on in another room. Twice in two weeks and still worth it. I just need to learn French. Apparently we missed Edu K. After TTC, MSTRKRFT dj set was up. Apparently, the one dude was sick and couldn't make it so there was only one half of MSTRKRFT. $3 Guiness all night and I was chilling. Shout out to all the people from Philly there. I almost didn't go out so I would be chill for Saturday, glad I went anyways. After the party, its the afterparty times two. Coming back, Philly seemed a lot farther away but we didn't crash until after we got home.

Whats Up With Rod Lee?
Background: “The undisputed godfather of Baltimore club.”
On the recent globalization of the B-more club sound: “When you’ve been doing it for a while, it kind of pans out to where you’re just thankful for what you’ve got. You try to stay grounded and humble and gradually get ’em on it. If they feel it, it’s a blessing. If not, it’s nothing to get upset about.”
On pretenders to the throne: “When you’ve got some average Joe who you don’t even worry about who takes the club music, puts their name on it and throws it out there, they’re gonna get more notoriety than someone who eats, sleeps and shits it. Doing club music is how I survive and feed my kids. It’s more than just throwing a beat together and trying to make someone dance. It’s different when an outsider tries to infiltrate and create the Baltimore sound. To them it’s not that serious, but it’s what took me off the streets. Now we’re in competition. Now it’s gettin’ fun and I’m gonna have to shut you down.”
See the godfather of Bmore club this Saturday at the grand opening of Level. Read the rest of the article here.

Grand Opening Of Level
On the Third Floor is a private VIP lounge overlooking the dance floor with booths and private bar. We are currently accepting booth reservations for the third floor. There is a very friendly bottle service minimum: just one bottle per 6 person group. If you're interested in skipping the line, having your friends hold it down on the Third Floor and generally do it big for the opening, just holler at us with "Booth Reservation" as the subject with your name and a contact number.

Pop Montreal
Up next was Daniel Haksman and Edu K. Edu K was the lead singer of a pop punk band of what seems like My Chemical Romance or something like that. In 2000, he wrote a song dedicated to baile funk called Popuzuda Rock n Roll (ass Rock n Roll) and has been riding the wave of funk carioca since. The show was interesting. Here is a guy that is dressed in all black, black painted nails, spiked collar etc and I think he's singing about ass shaking and partying. Hmmm. To add to the flavor, he was definitely into the show, climbing on top of speakers (nearly knocking them over), climbing on tables and humping them etc. Interesting to say the least. He's on tour and will be in Baltimore this Friday at Taxlo along with TTC and MSTRKRFT.
We wake up the next day and walk up and down St. Laurent and all around downtown Montreal. Aux Vivres is a killer vegan restaurant. I tried poutine from a random spot. Moog/DNA now stocks Yeti Bounce. Vice Records party jumped off. Saw Flosstradamus, Kid Sister, Pandemonium Jones, Dave from Chromeo, A-Trak, Huggs, Cullen Stalin and a whole gang of other people there. Fast forward to Fractal again. Hatchmatik from Peer Pressure in Montreal is killing them with Bmore and more. A-Trak was up next and kept the party jumping with bmore and baile bangers. We left shortly after attempting to find the Slum Recs after party with Pandemonium Jones, Erik Devro, Huggs (he'll be at Sundays on the 22nd) and a couple other cats but no luck. Head back to go sleep and watch White Label TV. This is killer right here. I got an exclusive for this and this is just crazy. Crazy amounts of Spank Rock and some ill video remixes from System-D128 and more. Will keep you updated as soon as its out.
Sunday we went to a sports bar on St. Laurent to watch the Eagles game and found we were in friendly territory. Surrounded by Iggles fans, we cheered the Birds on as they beat the Cowboys. After the game, we headed home, passed through New Baltimore and got back to NYC early Monday morning.
I was back in Philly Monday night and have been recovering ever since. Back to the grind today and here on out.
