We 'Side, We Slide, From South to West We Ride...



E-40 feat. B-Legit & Richie Rich - "Yay Deep"

I'm just getting ready to hit Austin this week for a few shows (if you're in Austin this week, make sure you check out one of 'em... you won't be mad!)

Anytime someone says anything about SXSW (South by Southwest), the hook of this song keeps resurfacing in my head...

"We 'Side, We Slide, From South to West We Ride..."

Off the Sic Wid It Records Southwest Riders double album...
This got major burn from me when it dropped in '97.
Had it on CD and Vinyl.

Yeeeeee!

BackTRACKin': "I Think I'm Out of Your Life"


Arnie's Love- "I Think I'm Out of Your Life"

I heard this song this past at December while at A-Trak's holiday party. Needless to say, I was completely enamored. This song is damn near perfect. I've been on the Arnie's Love version for the past few months. After a little research, I found out it was a cover from British soul outfit, Delegation.



Fresh.

Trackademicks Interview on Streets Is Talkin' Radio



This past tuesday I did pretty comprehensive interview with Streets Is Talkin' Radio. During the lengthy spot I got a chance to address topics ranging from my influences to the Honor Roll to "hipsterdom" to work ethic. 1 O.a.K. came through during the interview as well. In the words of Mac Mall, this interview is full of "Nathan But Game".

YEEEE!!!

BackTRACKin': Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - Easy Lover



Can anyone say INFECTIOUS? That is the only thing I can say about this song- seeing as I have been playing it on repeat for the last week since after hearing it again, for the first time. Yes, I was at Diesel in SF for the Fader/Noise Pop/Free Liquor jumpoff last week when the DJ threw this on. I swear I haven't heard it SINCE the 80's...

And it still can't be touched! I want a video like this after I've been around the world a few times.

But you dont Have to take my word for it... Patrick Bateman just might be the best Phil Collins street teamer ever...


YEEEE!!!

Flosstradamus speak on Trackademicks' "Enjoy What You Do"



This past weekend was crazy in SF. Within a one block radius, there were a ton of worth while events to hit. At Club Six, I was hosting for the Honor Roll's DJ Tap.10 and DJ Revolution of the world famous Wake Up Show. I got chance to hit the Mezzanine and catch a bit of Flosstradamus' set as well.

After everything we hit the "Light's Down Low" for their 3rd Anniversary Party in this super cutty loft. While in there, I had a chance to host for Low Budget' of the Hollertronix for a quick second before the owner of the spot damn near burst a blood vessel trying to turn me off to prevent everyone from having even more fun that they were already having...

January. February.

Done.

Ten more months to GO!

That's exactly what I plan to do...

Holler!
