Pride.

Having been involved in music for the majority of my life whether as a player, benchwarmer or fan, I've seen a lot.  Great bands disintegrate.  Shitty bands succeed.  Lifelong friendships dissolve.  Amazing music left to collect dust and dreamers forced to wake up.  Luckily for the world, some of us never got the memo...

A man who needs no introduction with one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a longtime.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my dear friend, TH3 Abyss.

Be well world.

Happy New Year.

Movement

As finishing touches get put on Fanfare’s second video, FIRE DANCE, I wanted to let y’all know there’ve been 11 new dates added for December (check calendar to the right) which means things’re gonna get a touch nutty in the next few weeks and if you can be, you need to be. 

In the meantime, I wanted to thank all the bloggers and fans who’ve continued to keep Fanfare circulating throughout the world wide blogosphere.  If I could, I’d punch all of you dead in the face with love.  

Hunh?

Yep.

Salutes for days.

We here.

As some of you may know, I have travel A.D.D.  To me, staying in one spot for too long is the equivalent of peeing the bed.  It's warm and relaxing for the first little bit, but then it cools off and you realize you're covered in piss.

Okay....

....not the best analogy but the point is I like to move, and so do these dudes - 

THE BLAST: a group of international artists/DJs/MCs/producers/writers/etc that have come together to bring you events worldwide as well as one of the most eclectic blogs online.  Written in 3 different languages and with content as varied as their roster, there's a little something for everyone.

Having collectively shared stages with: The Roots, Aloe Blacc, Tittsworth, Del the Funky Homosapien, Mick Boogie, Kero One, DJ Ralph M (Funkdoobiest), DJ Fingaz (Xzibit), DJ Tommy (Edison Chen), DJ Clark Kent and Rob Swift just to name a few, as well as collaborations with: Adidas, Cartier, Dolce & Gabana, Ed Hardy, Havianas, Heineken, Hennessy Artistry, Nike, Nokia, Remy Martin and Sean John, these party rocking vets guarantee nothing but the highest quality in all their product.  

Formalities aside, they're dope.  The product they release is dope.  The parties they throw are dope.  And the blog is super dope.  So help us get the word out and let everyone know...It's the BLAST y'all!

Pounds of love.

 Thanks to all that came out to the Reel Asian Festival's Live Score Encore and the debut of John and Tim's new project, Figalo. Big shout out to the boys from Magnolius, Tien Yeung, Lillian Chan and Goh Nakamura. Thanks also to Nobi and all the folks at Reel Asian.

Thank You Pt. 2.

With the 2nd week of Fanfare's release officially coming to an end, I'd like to thank everyone who's helped to double up the numbers this week and keep Fanfare pushin forward. 

Special shouts to:

Your support really means the world.  

Help us continue to push and turn this little noise into a full-blown massacre!

Fanfare y'all!

Thank you.

As we near the end of this first week of release for Fanfare, I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone who's made this such an incredible 5 days.  The feedback, the support, the love, the damn near 1500 shares on Facebook in the FIRST day!?  Thank you.  

I know it might be premature for me to be getting so grandiose as we're still a long way from Kanye numbers, but I appreciate it nevertheless.  Let's just keep building and I hope y'all will help me keep letting folks know exactly what's up!

In the meantime, click HERE to check out this brand new interview courtesy CFCR radio. 

p.s. Halloween's right around the corner, so be sure to check the calendar for new events.  

Be well world.

Don't call it a comeback.

After what seems like an eternity, I've finally arrived back here with all of you.

Hi.

My natural instinct during times like this is to just rant, rave and spew but why spoil this moment with a bunch of 'neither here/nor there's.

Watch the video. Download the song. And lemme know whassup.

Good to see y'all again.

I'll be checkin in very soon.

Be well world.
