Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to vote for me at the 2009 Stylus Awards.. I’ll keep you posted as to what happens with nominations.. Let’s keep it moving!
This one will go down in the history books & is guaranteed to be crazy.. Imagine 1200 people, 1000 feet in the air, partying inside a glass room on top of the CN Tower, while overlooking the entire city?? Nuts. Shouts to Kleen Media for continuing to push the envelope in terms of booking amazing venues & throwing unique events. Myself & Sir Lancelot will be rocking the Glass Room all night. Oh yeah, It’s 8 days away and 84 tickets are left. If you slept, you are going to miss out.. Peace!

Man.. I only got 4 hours sleep again.. Working overtime, but its OK because I’m one day away from a well deserved vacation!! It’s a beautiful Tuesday afternoon in the city of Toronto.. about 14 degrees! Later tonight, I’m off to DRAGONFLY NIGHTCLUB at Casino Niagra for their annual St. Patrick’s Day jam. This is our Tuesday Night residency and the club itself is gorgeous.. Word is St. Patty’s day at Dragonfly gets pretty crazy, so tonight should be a packed night, considering people seem to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day like its their last time drinking alcohol or something.. Come Through!
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!

Haven’t found time to update the blog/site for a little while; things have been hectic. History was made today.. Barack Obama – President of The United States of America. I bet if I asked you to repeat that very sentence outloud 2 years ago, you would have laughed. Is it really time for a new world order? Time will tell.. Regardless, it is a proud moment for human beings in general, and I’m excited about where we stand, and where we are heading..!
One of my partner’s in crime, and my emcee Sir Lancelot along with DJ Tilt are actually in Washington as I type this. Mediaphase (site will be up very shortly) booked them for Google’s aferparty for Obama’s Inauguration! It’s only 3 weeks into the year and the squad is already beginning to make history. We don’t sleep. You really shouldn’t either..
So as I was saying, we’re just about 3 weeks into the year, and it’s going to be a great ’09..
This past Thursday I got to re-connect with The Clipse (Malice, Pusha T, DJ Rick Geez). Last time I was with them was in May of 2007 when I opened their concert here in Toronto.
Almost 2 years later, we met up again..
Last Thursday/Friday was a hectic 40 hours.. It went something like this:
I met up with DJ Rick Geez & Pusha T at the hotel. We discussed the Bridging The Gap Mixtape movement, and it’s now official – Volume 4 will be Hosted by The Clipse, co-starring N.E.R.D. ! From Toronto, to Virgina, we stay building bridges and crossing borders. Pay attention!
After that, we took Rick Geez to the studio (see: 2 studios.. One of the 1200s at Remix was broken, so we had to relocate to another location) so he could record his mix show which he had to submit to the radio station in Virgina the next day..
Now by the time we got to the 2nd studio in the west end, it was already 11:30pm. He had to record an hour long mix, which brings us to 12.30 am..
Now in the midst of all this running around, I still had my club night in Guelph at Van Gogh’s going on.. The homies Tilt & Illiment were holding things down up there, but Lancelot and I still needed to go up and play our set before the night was over.. This is another 45 minute drive from Downtown Toronto lol
After dropping Rick Geez off back at the hotel after making sure he got his mixshow recorded, we made our way to Guelph.. We finally arrived there at 1.45am, and hopped straight on the tables! It was a takeover, even though it was a short set, the vibe was crazy – lights on at 2.30 am and no one leaving the club till 3 am type of vibe. I love those nights..! We are out there every Thursday at Van Gogh’s 2nd Floor – $2.50 drinks & $100 Grey Goose. Come through.
By the time I got home it was 5 am.. 4 1/2 hours later I was up and on the way to Seneca College to do a sound check. Famous was opening The Clipse show (they had two shows in one day, an early and a late night at Circa), and I was DJ’ing his set. Ran into Malice, Pusha, Ab-Liva there once again:
After that it was off to Livestock, where they were promoting their new Play Cloths line:
While kicking it at Livestock, Kid Cudi passed through as well.. He’s a real humble dude & hopefully I will be able to bang out a mixtape with him around summer time.. Here are some more photos courtesy of PhotoWill:
Straight after that it was off to another out of town club gig in Waterloo.. Got home at 5am again.. 4 1/2 hours of sleep every 48 hours. That’s how it goes sometimes.. Till next time.. Peace!
