Mr. Milkcrate

Going to check out my man Botany 500 tonight as he steps out from behind the counter of his Milkcrate Cafe and steps behind the decks of the 700 Club tonight! As owner of the missed so much Cue Records, B5 is one of those guys thats been into records way before it was the thing to do and Im sure he's bringing some gems along with him!

Mixologist!

Spent a good portion of the day going thru boxes of things that I've collected throughout the years and pulled out this goodie, one of my favorite mixers from years past. Before this my favs were another Gemini that had come out around 82/83 and a Numark mixer that I cant remember the model # of but I loved it because they had extremely short faders. This is when you had to be nice with the fader action, none of this "designed for scratching" mixers. These mixers had tight faders and if you wanted it a little loose you sprayed some WD40 in it. No curve for the faders, none of that hamster button shit, just all around had to be nice with it!

T.S.O.P - The Sounds of Pittsburgh

Finally getting around to checking out some live audio from Hot Peas and Butta Pittsburgh with guest DJ Jay Malls. This is an early opening set with Jay kicking things off and me following up at 27:36. We've got close to 5 hours of live audio so be ready for a later dose of when the drinks finally set in and the party gets bonkers!

Time to catch the Night Train!

There's very few parties in Philly that deliver something different than the norm or so when one comes along that that has something fresh to offer Im all about it. This Thursday I'll be spinning an all 45 set at Night Train with resident DJ's Ian St. Laurent and Dennis Wolf Fang. These guys throw down Funk, soul and rock on Thursday nights at Kung Fu Necktie. If your venue is called Kung Fu Necktie than thats definitely some Hot Peas and Butta shit! Last weeks guest DJ was Sal P (Im sure most of you dont even know who he is by name) but Sal P is from Liquid Liquid, you know Cavern!

So Im definitely looking forward to this night and if your local you should too! Plus these good peoples via Pabst will be giving away free Night Train / Lemmy shirts for the first 20 peoples thru the door!

Doors open 11pm
1$ pbr's
1/2 price well drinks from 11-12

Conversations....with Dan and Han

The day after Hot Peas and Butta Presents: Bullies & Brothels.

DAN: Mr. Han, hello
HAN: Dan it's so good to see you again.
DAN: Yes, we really dropped a bomb on people with Hot Peas and Butta.


DAN: I don't think New York City was ready for last night.
HAN: No Dan they weren't. We totally shut the city down with the amount of smut and violence we put back on the streets. Almost as destructive as the blackout of 1977.
DAN: With assistance from Supreme La Rock, Cosmo Baker and Skeme Richards we really brought back an era that has long since gone.
HAN: But as always, we prevail!



DAN: We have branches in New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Switzerland and soon the world!
HAN: World domination is what we're after, to let everyone know that 45's reign supreme and that we have the power to change the face of the earth!


HAN: 45's forever and Hot Peas and Butta is stronger than ever!
DAN: ahhh...In the immortal name of the Abbott, Budas name be praised!

45's, Porn & Kung Fu flix

Now thats a good night in the Big Apple! Last nights Hot Peas and Butta Presents: Bullies & Brothels "A Tribute To Times Square 42nd Street" was bonkers!! The crowd was in full attendance as Supreme La Rock and myself dropped heavy on the 45's while the rare 70's porn and kung fu trailers played on the projects. But it didn't stop there, we had a special guest come thru with a handful of 7" on the unannounced side of things, Cosmo Baker (www.cosmobaker.com) If you don't know Cosmo then do your homework, nuff said. All in all we had crazy fun so I thank everyone that was in the house and believe me there was alot of important people enjoying the evening with us! Shouts to cousin Blax, J-Zone, Teknyc, and photographer to the stars Mikey Mcfly!

Thats right we're hitting the West Coast and making our way over to the Bay Area to throw our second Cali edition of Hot Peas and Butta! Supreme La Rock and myself will be linking up with my man Jus Jones who has a nice collection of 45's so it'll be a nice throwdown of east meets west meets the northwest.

Words from Supreme:

In preparation of the Hot Peas & Butta "Bullies & Brothels" party hitting NYC this weekend I've done a mix that was inspired by movies of the 1970's. Complete with previews and coke commercial. Get the popcorn ready. This is rated R. Under 17 not admitted without an adult.

Something to celebrate

My favorite spot in Philly to DJ at is The Walnut Room hands down. They understand and appreciate the DJ, none of the politics and bullshit played here, no no! Plus the crowd is always on point and I must say that my Friday peoples are always down to have fun and I NEVER have to play dumb shit nor do they ask for it! Well they're turning 5 years old next week so they'll be celebrating in a big way by bringing in a few friends (Cosmo Baker, Tony Touch plus a few other surprises) and enjoy 5 consecutive days of fun.

Walnut Room Friday Nights.

This past Friday night at The Walnut Room was bananas! As always a packed house but the energy this week was off the chain.

Takin you back....

Exclusive Mighty4 mix for Paulskee!



Its not often that I get to dip into these joints even though from time to time I throw some of 'em in my set when Im rockin in the club depending on what state or country Im in. But after Paul bringing the topic of my Super B Beat show up a few times I felt that it was necessary to do a mix with some of these classic gems. So at 2 in the morning I got out of bed and jumped on it.

Enjoy!

Tribute to a grand era!

Hot Peas and Butta is back on it and bringing it home to New York City!
