Rockman Series 2nd Anniversary

Heading to Japan next month and playing the Rockman Series 2nd Anniversary Party in Tokyo.

Talk To The People

I've started a new monthly (last Tuesday of the month) get together called Talk To The People at Sarah's Place in the Brewerytown section of Philly spinning Jazz-funk, Rare Groove and Disco classics.  I've been heavily inspired by my visits to Japan and spending time in record bars and small bars where an intimate group of people drink, snack and socialize while the DJ plays incredible music. I always feel like there's something lacking in the "social" department that has been replaced by getting turned up or going out just to be seen.

Looking forward to people hanging out with old friends while meeting new ones at Sarah's Place where the beer is cold, drinks are cheap, the music is top shelf and the atmosphere is warm.

Skeme Richards at Soulelujah!

Last weekend I made a return trip to Cambridge to DJ at one of the most fun and exciting parties going on in the states, Soulelujah! The night is dedicated to funk & soul gems played for an audience that loves to dance, drink and have fun and my second appearance was just as much of a pleasure as the first.  Thank you to everyone that came through on a beautiful spring like night in November.

Sunshower Happy Hour

This afternoon I'll be playing a few tunes for the afterwork crowd alongside the homie Craig Dash at Marathon Grill.  This is a great outdoor / indoor spot and it's definitely the perfect day to be outside listening to music and enjoying drinks.

Flow Mo 13th Anniversary, Helsinki Finland

Heading out to Helsinki Finland to celebrate once again with the Flow Mo family for their 13th Anniversary.  A weekend full of fun lies ahead!

Metrockride @ Family

Saturday night I'll be rocking a set at Club Family for Metrockride.  I had the pleasure of spinning this party / showcase last year so it's an honor to be invited back this year.

WahWah meets Hot Peas & Butta in Tokyo

Last week we threw the first of two double features as Hot Peas & Butta x WahWah in Osaka.  This Friday night we do it once again but this time its Wah Wah meets Hot Peas & Butta in Tokyo at The Room in Shibuya.  The DJ lineup will once again be a heavy one with with a surprise guest stopping through to drop a set in between.

Spinoff

This Thursday night begins the final week of my 2014 Japan tour and the first night will be at Spinoff at Ucess Lounge and I'll be doing an exclusive Hip Hop 45 set.  I usually prefer my Hip Hop on 12" because well... that's the way it should be in my opinion but I'm up for the task.  Old to the new from some of my favorite artists of yesterday and today.
