Posted by admin on November 16th, 2008

Only three parties left. We’ll be shutting down after our 3 year anniversary party in January. it’s been a great ride and we plan on keeping the website up, posting 3THW mixes and maybe even the occasional party now and then but the 3THW monthly is on its way out so come down and get down while you still can.

Go to the website and check out photos of past events if you want to know what you may have been missing.

I’m Playing at Bar Dynamite Tonight 11.12

Posted by admin on November 12th, 2008

Bar Dynamite is a cool little bar here in SD. I was the dj and promoter for Wednesday nights when it first opened back in 1999. I tried to get my little night going but it was tough since back then there was no dancing and house was not very popular in San Diego.

When I moved up to LA to work at BPM Magazine I turned it over to Lil’ Ryan because I knew he and his partner Duane would keep it going. Little did I know that they would still be going 8 years later and now they’ve turned it into one of the best deep house nights on the West Coast with so many quality big name djs I couldn’t even name them all. Oh and it’s always free, no matter who’s playing.

So it’s nice that they still have me play and I’m really looking forward to it.

4-Track recorder For Iphone/Ipod

Posted by admin on November 9th, 2008

The number once reason for me wanting these devices is that I can actually create music on them. Thanks to great apps like idrum and this, I can work out real beats and phrases while I’m stuck waiting for a tow truck to carry away my neglected car. At least I got me some music-making gadgets!

Vestax VCI 300

I’ve been ignoring many of these digital dj interfaces up until now.

I recently sold my M-Audio Torq system since it didn’t work as consistently as I wanted; anytime I wanted to use it I spent way too much time fiddling with it. I also had trouble playing gigs with it since everyone else uses Serato and it’s not a good idea to keep switching boxes and cables.

So why do I want this? I like the idea that I can bring this with my laptop, all in a small backpack, and I can just plug it into a line out on the mixer. This means I’ll have two digital decks with midi-control and then I can still play using my record bag that I always bring.

The best of all worlds I always say…
