I’m going to be representing Caplansky’s alongside Zane and a couple of our best FOH staff this weekend at Toronto’s first Deli Duel. We’ll be pitting our smoked meat up against two other local competitors, who I honestly have never heard of.

Come check out the “competition” and have a bite to eat. All proceeds are benefiting The Stop Community Food Centre.

I love bass. It is no secret. I also have recently taken the plunge into the world of tattoos and won’t be looking back any time soon.

One night I had a dream that I had a radical bass clef tattooed on my arm. It was made of, or wrapped in, wires from a mixer…and then I woke up.

The next day, with the help of my lovely friend and tattoo connoisseur Meliss, I found an artist with a musical background. I met with Darwin at Black Line Studio and he seemed to be almost MORE stoked on the idea than I.

One preliminary drawing, a lot of faith in Darwin’s Bible and three weeks later, I have an everlasting tribute to my love of the low frequency.

I feel that every time I start to build steam on this blog thing, it gets derailed. I think this weekend may spell time for a redesign. Heavier focus on the food and lifestyle side of things. Music will still be prominent, but not the primary topic. I figure that changing my focus will mean more posting.

Here’s to hoping I’m right.

Currently in the process of some big things in life. Working at Caplansky’s is pretty rad. Music has been taking a back seat to work lately, but that will soon change. ESKMO is in town this weekend and I believe I plan to feel that one out.

Safe.

I can’t believe it, but it has been five years since I released my first all-breaks promo mix. It launched a couple solid years of bookings and raging headaches.

I still think it’s one of my best mixes. This also has made me realize that it’s been almost 3 years since I’ve released an actual demo.

Talk about dedication to one’s chosen field. Man, I suck.

Anyway, here is May Live Mix, from May 2005. May the fourth be with you.
