Together Festival Boston | Bedroom DJ/Producer Competition

Together Trailer December 31st, 2009 from TOGETHER BOSTON on Vimeo.

Together: The New England Electronic Music Festival is that rarest of opportunities. For many people, dance music and its continuing surge in popular culture provides a chance to collaborate and communicate as never before: thoughts are remixed, songs are made in cooperation and entire events are promoted collectively.

Together will be an extension of this idea, a multi-venue, multi-party, multi-panel super event uniting not simply genres of music, but entire scenes once thought to be disparate. The city of Boston provides a unique platform as well, with its enormous student population, numerous technology centers and differing types of venues.

Together Boston will reach thousands of personalities within the mixing generation. As The New England Electronic Music Festival we will touch on not just dance music, but the emerging technologies of electronic music production. By involving different groups—from the most senior avant-garde lovers to the youngest members of this new sound, this is the genesis of a new era of collaboration and innovation for the New England arts, technology and music communities.

In addition to the number of amazing events, workshops, record fairs and speakers going on during this week in February, I will personally be involved in a couple shows, including WE THE PEOPLE @ Estate Nightclub on February 10th featuring DJ KLEVER, CONGOROCK and much more! I have also been asked to participate in judging the TOGETHER DJ/PRODUCER COMPETITION. The deadline for submissions of original tracks is January 14th and deadline for DJ mixes is January 22nd.

The One Year Anniversary in Provincetown

This past weekend my lovely wife and I took a few days off for our One Year Wedding Anniversary that started off in Boston and ended in Provincetown MA down by the beach. Most people know Provincetown as a mecca for the gay community. Well it is! How could you not trust the judgement of the gay community, they certainly have style and taste and Provinetown shows just that. Amongst the vast range of amazing bars, clubs, restaurants, art galleries and boutiques is one of the most amazing landscapes and atmospheres in the state of Massachusetts! We like to try an keep it completely off from the norm and enjoy our life together as a happily married couple. I think we do a pretty good job, if I do say so myself. These photos were taken by the iPhone so do excuse the lack of quality.

Started off Friday night with some frosty adult beverages at Thunderdome 3D that was held at the legendary Villa Victoria. It was a bit different to hear the sounds in that room as most of us are so used to deep house from the Soul Revival crew, but the production and quality that was put into this event was REALLY great!

You go to the beach with us then Appletons Jamaican Rum is a necessity. This is a must have for us while celebrating our wedding, since it was the key ingredient in our times in Jamaica during our wedding ceremony.

The disco ball in our hotel lobby. We stayed at the legendary Boatslip on Provincetown. Everyday at 4pm, they have a dance Tea Party. How could you not stay in a hotel that has a daily dance party! Derek, our bartender for the weekend at our hotel was an amazing guy and great host to us!

This would be the "DO NOT DISTURB" door handle that comes equipped with your room!

Some random images of art throughout the Commercial St area. Absolutely amazing!

Finally, I have to send a huge thank you to Pauline from MAP, located in the West End of Provincetown. This shop is one of my favorites just due to the fact that they carry Rebel 8, Vans and other sort of Sailor Jerry meets Pirates meets biker type clothing. If you don't know, I am a huge fan of Mike Giant and the Rebel 8 collective. Good stuff! The hospitality and kindness of Pauline was top-notch. She assisted us in info on local parties, and DJ's. We were put in contact with a local DJ by the name of Justin, however due to over intoxication during our Anniversary dinner, we were unable to meet up with him Sunday night. Definitely be sure to stop by MAP and say hello to Pauline! Also, check out Stax of Wax in that area as well! Until the next time Provincetown! Happy Anniversary Baby!

The Crystal Method w/ DJ Melee @ House of Blues - May 6th 09

On Wednesday May 6th 2009 I will be opening for the Crystal Method for the 3rd/4th time. This is a very special evening for a few reasons. First, this is the new HOUSE OF BLUES in Boston which I have NEVER played. Yes, as a former resident of Avalon I played that Lansdowne St location numerous times, but this is a whole new building, a whole new room and most importantly a whole new sound system! Second reason, is that this time around the boys from The Crystal Method will be doing a LIVE show!

You can get tickets HERE
