Shameless

More on this later…it’s going to be “off the chain” as the kids say!

Versatile has a Posse

Versatile Records started a blog! Well, in May at least, but it’s just now news to me.
Versatile has been a favorite label of mine for many years. With a roster that includes Fabrice Lig, Joakim, I:Cube, Chateau Flight, Etienne Jaumet and others, they’re too cool for school, smart and funny to boot. They’ve single-handedly released [...]

Dan Bell in Houston October 24th

Believe it! And let me take this opportunity to say that Button Down Mind still reigns as my favorite techno mix evar!

Red Herring Disco

I’ve been stealing free minutes here and there all week, digging through my music library in an effort to put together some semblance of a cohesive set for The Kitchen on Saturday. Although the patio party is billed as a disco affair, my early set is shaping up to be something more like brown-leather, sweat [...]

The Kitchen

This Saturday is the return of Drew and Mr. Bristle’s Kitchen, a monthly celebration of the soulful, deep side of house music. The Kitchen always draws a good diverse crowd of groovers to the Mink’s Backroom. For this installment, I’ll be setting up my sound system on the patio and playing an extended set of [...]

Neon Lights

M13 Geek Cluster

As part of my long-term plan to put my daughter squarely on the path to geekdom, I packed up the car tonight and headed south to George Observatory, kid in tow. It was one of our quintessentially great daddy-daughter outings: “so bad, it’s good” Chinese buffet for dinner and a long drive through a burnt [...]
