Up on the ROOF ROOF

On New Years Eve I shared the turn tables with my good buddy NSR (twitter.com/iamnsr) on the Hudson Terrace Rooftop.
It was quite a swanky event with a top shelf open bar all night and more Australians than you can shake a boomerang at (see Aussies below) and collectively we tore it down.

Below is the link to stream and download a mix I put together based on my set on NYE. Some of my favorite tracks from 2010, random bangers and the undisputed greatest New Years song of all time (Will 2k). So enjoy!

Monster Mash

Here is my set from the Cleveland Institute of Art's annual Halloween banger. It's split into a few pieces to cut out some of the breaks for nerdy art announcements and whatnot. The few hours ranges from funk and old school hip hop to electro and Trick Daddy to Eddie Murphy. All in all a great night, those artists are pretty solid at partying.

Part 2

Part 3


Below is a video of the final dubstep banger of the evening as the bar was closing and the world famous Blue Man Group relentlessly gettin their boogie on.

Saturday

I'll be DJing between the acts all night on Saturday at the Grog Shop in sunny Cleveland, OH. This kid Mac Miller is pretty dope too (proof below). Download his latest project HERE


Oh yeah, and it's for charity so I'll see you there.

Summa Summa Summa Time

Here it is, the groove slightly transformed. Just a bit of a break from the norm.
Here's a little mix that I did while messing around one night. It happened to come out pretty dope so I figured I would use my old friend the internet to share it with the world. Drake, David Bowie, Deadmau5... and those are only a few of the artists that start with the letter D. Anyways, grab a tofu dog, find a thong bikini (to wear or admire) and enjoy.

YES YOU CAN

Apologies on the short notice... but this Saturday (May 1) it is once again goin down Yung Joc at the mall style at B Side Lounge in Cleveland Heights. Join myself, MisterbradleyP and Cevens as we pay homage to TWO DECADES of incredible music and culture from A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and the rest of the Native Tongues Collective.

The night will kick off with live painting and there will be drink specials all night and hand silk screened commemorative T Shirts (while they last).

Event is 21+ with FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT.
Music at 10 PM

Big thanks to the very talented Jessica Obando for the flier.


Here's a little preview of what to expect...

Because the Greatest Emcee of All Time Died on March 9th

Despite the fact that the Midwest has slowly worked its way into my blood... I still have to let the New Yorker in me shine through and pay tribute to Mr. Christopher Wallace on the anniversary of his murder (insane that its been 13 years, and even crazier that the stupid ass poh-leece haven't done anything about it in that much time).
This video remix is one of more to come by one of my favorite DJs, J. Period

J.Period & Ralph McDaniels f. The Notorious B.I.G. - "Flava in Ya Ear (March 9 Video Remix)" from Truelements Music on Vimeo.

Here are a couple of my favorite tracks today and one of my own thrown in there shamelessly...


A really dope remix by the homie Terry Urban off of his dope B.I.G. tribute mixtape with Mick Boogie. The whole project is available for free.99 HERE


Next is a little mix I did in one take with Biggie's "Nasty Boy" over a Bee Gees track. Not my finest work, but pretty cool nonetheless.


Finally, one of my favorite tracks of all time...

... keep on just keep on pressin' on.

On an unrelated note, this is just too dope not to post.

Dub Smash

For those of you who have gotten sick of all this J Dilla blah blah, and underground hip hop who-ha and wanted to deep, dark, bassy dubstep music to smash shit to... youre in luck! Bring yo ass to the Grog Shop on Coventry tonight. Im rockin with some of Cleveland's finest. It will be sort of like this but with less flute...



And if you want to do yourself a favor and not be a sucka, watch the rest of the videos from that BBC session. Incredible. See you at the Grog.
