Industry Mondays at Suite. Jacksonville, Florida 7-11-11

I've been friends with DJ Marvel for a few years now so when he asked me to come guest at his Monday Industry Night at Suite supper club in Jacksonville this past week I was super excited. Unfortunately my flights ended up being a disaster so I didn't get into town until a little late. All good though because Suite was fun as hell. The staff were very nice (shots weren't hard to get lol) and people came out to party! The dancefloor was jumping all night. The next day I got to catch up with Marvel over lunch and talk about DJing and I got to know a little more of his back story which was very cool because I found out we had a lot more in common than I previously realized. We both basically came up in the mid-late 90's hip-hop/underground era. Thanks again to Marvel and Suite for bringing me down and shouts to all the people who came out to party! If you ever get a chance, check out Marvel sometime. Dude is a beast on the cut and an awesome club DJ. Also gotta give a big shout to the band who was on before me who held it down a little longer than expected because I was running late. Next time I hope to spend some time and get to see a little more of Jacksonville. Check some pics/video below and here's an exact schedule of my quick trip to Jacksonville lol.

Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland Mixtape Party (PGH edition)

A few months ago we decided to link up with our DJ homies in Cleveland and put together a Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland mixtape. The tape would feature myself, Digital Dave and Bonics from Pittsburgh and Donkis, Kosher Kuts and Flaco from Cleveland. To celebrate the mixtape release we held a party at our weekly "Tuesday Takeover" party at Jimmy D's. The amount of people who came through to party blew my mind. The bar was actually at capacity at one point before 11pm which is unheard of. Check the pics below and thanks to everyone (much love to all the DJs) who came out to support! Next week we'll be taking the party to Cleveland to do it all over again!
