Cards

A homeboy recently pointed out on twitter how many DJs are also graphic designers. I’m definitely NOT, although I did dabble in it back in the day. Still do, to some extent. I did at least design my own cards and stickers. What do you think? Next time I’m going to add one of those new square bar code things that will take you directly to my website. Now THAT will be exciting. Let me know if you have any ideas for my cards, and also if you send me a message or e-mail I’ll be happy to mail you some stickers.

Update: a few people have asked me where I get mine printed, and I’m proud to say I keep my money in Oakland and save on shipping by printing them at PSPrint.com. They also happen to be very fast, professional, and have a great price.

After enjoying the crap out of the 45 sessions (like always) we wandered across the street to New Karribean City to enjoy their Saturday after hours. It was a late ride home, but these guys kept an eye on me. Thanks Oakland!
UPDATE: They also hooked me up on the way to/from MÄJOR Sundays at Somar as well!

Sunday Art

I love skeletons, and I love bikes. What can be better than both at once?
I found this on endlesscanvas.com, a great Bay Area street art site. And what is art without music? Here’s some Supercat with his advice about biking. 

VISION this Thursday


Hey folks, my boy Rich has been talking about this event for a while and all the stars have aligned to bring me on board this time. Come down to Oasis and see some amazing art created while some great tunes play. Come early and stay late, satisfaction is guaranteed! And Rich specifically told me to play “what I don’t normally get to play” so early arrival is definitely recommended. If I can get the equipment to cooperate, I’ll post the set I play here.
It’s at the Oasis in Downtown Oakland, which we know has a great vibe and is perfect for some visual arts as well. See below for full details and follow the links for more information—as you can see, the art is amazing and you can already vouch for the music!
