Man.. I don’t even know what to say right now.. I guess this is just another reminder from above, that life is very, very short.  There is no need to hold grudges against each other, or hate on one another, like so many people do – day in, and day out. There is no point.  We are all here for a reason.. Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM inspired & motivated me, and most likely thousands of other DJs.  He was an innovator and a trend setter who pushed boundaries and was one of the first to really break ‘the dj’ into the same limelight as ‘the artist’.  All of that aside, he was simply a dope technical & conceptual DJ as well..

While news reports are saying he died of drug-related causes [hard to believe, as he said he never drank anything, and had no alcohol on his rider], I just hope that some of his younger fans take this in stride as a learning lesson.. Drugs are no joke; they will consume your life and are simply not worth it.

Although I did not know him personally, I had the pleasure of playing a party with him only a few months back in February [ see: Opening For DJ AM ] & he was one of the coolest, level-headed, and most humble DJs that I have had the chance to play alongside. Thanks for motivating me.. Rest In Peace.

Last Tuesday & Wednesday (Feb 10/11), I opened for DJ AM at Dragonfly Nightclub (Casino Niagara) & This Is London (Toronto).  He wasn’t able to make it to the venue in Niagra on Tuesday due to passport issues, so myself, DJ Crunch, & Sir Lancelot held it down all night and rocked Dragonfly till 3.30am.

Wednesday Night was a packed industry night downtown Toronto, despite the shitty weather and rain all night long.  The night went well, and AM most definitely did his thing and was a very humble dude, which is really refreshing to see… Got some crazy cuts too! JFK (MSTRKRFT) was also in the building and ended up going back to back on the set around 2.30 am!

February is already a crazy month..  A couple weeks before I head off for West Coast Canada Tour, I’ll be playing two back to back Industry Nights with the one and only DJ AM.

Musically, it will be a free for all.. Expect any and everything, blended, remixed, and cut up live.

Let me know if you need guestlist, bottles, etc!
