Wiped.  Journey back from NYC with a 5-year old and a kitty took over 24 hours.  Six and half-hours on the tarmac, deplaning, additional leg added, up all night at the airport, ailrine computer shut-downs and printer shut-downs at ticket counters.  You’ll get more of an update about our gigs  in NYC after I get [...]

Anjali and I had a busy day yesterday. We both DJed an early afternoon birthday party, and then in the evening she went off to DJ another birthday party, and I DJed a benefit to build a community radio station in Brazil. I had been spending a lot of time researching and shopping [...]

It’s DJ Anjali’s birthday, but she’s sleeping in, so I get to write a quick note about the Rainbow Fantasy Booty party we played last night at Acme. We love playing Booty, and we want to extend our warmest thanks to Puppet and Stormy for having us. Speaking of stormy, when I was [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of music shopping the last week in preparation for my performance at the Movimimento para Terra benefit this Saturday. I have accumulated quite a bit of Brazilian music over the years, but the gig has inspired me (as per usual) to deepen and diversify my collection a bit. [...]

Chantelle Hylton is leaving Portland, and few people probably know what a significant role she has played in the lives of DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid. Besides being a wonderful person, and a great friend, Chantelle has done so much to help us get to where we are today. In the [...]

trying to buy reggaeton (or truthfully, most contemporary urban international music) in portland, OR, sucks

Aaaaaargh. Today the new Daddy Yankee and Zion CDs were released. Good luck finding them in Portland. Other than B.S. cash-in CDs with names like Reggaeton’s Greatest Hits (which are usually anything but) it is next to impossible to find reggaeton CDs in Portland record stores. I have had better luck [...]

Hello all,
Here is a post I started about May’s Atlas event, followed by sketchy notes about what I remembered from the different DJ sets. It’s been sitting unfinished for nearly a month, so here is something, rather than nothing.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Atlas last night. When I woke [...]
