The first rap tape I ever owned
My dad gave me this tape for christmas in 1990. This isn’t the full track list, I am trying to track that down. I remember it had Whodini “5 Minutes of Funk”. I still regret the day when I was really angry over something and pulled all the tape out of the cassette all over my room.

Breaking in the new lab on a Saturday night!
I’m working in the new lab for the first time, and after about 4 hours I’m starting to adapt. Can’t wait to get the sound dialed in here… Fall has arrived and some heavy tunes are in order. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to pry myself over to Speedy J tonight!

Semisexual Records Label Night at 222 Hyde Thursday!
This Thursday is the second, and last, Semisexual Night at 222 Hyde…. and to memorialize its short and poignant existence, our friend Sean has made this video flyer. More of his work is available here. I don’t know what I’m going to play, but I know I’m going to be wasted because my company’s “baseball” game is earlier that day. It’s too bad this is one of the last ever events at the 222- this is one of the only cheap, grimey clubs with a decent sound system left in san francisco.
FREE before 10:30!

Dirty Bird / Oct 3 / Mezzanine
I’ll be spraying lasers in the upstairs room at Mezzanine on October 3 alongside my partners Eprom, Mozaic, Pauley, and Mr. Projectile. Prepare for heavyweight digital rub-a-dub gun clapper business. Hosted by Hookerz & Blow.

Eskmo in the lab
I met up with my boy Eskmo aka Welder last weekend and he was kind enough to show me his studio in Soma. The space was top notch, and I now understand why he has been holed up here in recent months putting the finishing touches his full length Eskmo LP. I was lucky enough to get a full album preview, and my predictions were confirmed: this is going to be a masterpiece.
You can link up with Eskmo through his website or on Myspace. His latest release, “Willow Grail EP” on Studio Rockers, is a crisp, deep, change from some of the more headbanging dubstep that has been getting all the shine.

Semisexual Label Night, August 7th @ 222 Hyde
Matthew Arnold, also known as Mr. Projectile, will be throwing a night for his label, Semisexual, on August 7th at 222 Hyde. He will be doing a live improv set, and I will be DJing techno along with Pauley Unsaturated and Shiny Diamonds.
Semisexual has quietly released some incredible music recently by Jerry Abstract, Lusine, and Mr. Projectile himself. Also on the roster is Funckarma, Miles Tillman, Mitchell Akiyama, and Cepia.
You can find Matt and Semisexual on Beatport (search for Semisexual under labels), or on his Myspace page.
He’s always looking for good music, and will be releasing more of his own soon.
