RANDOMNESS: Craigslist I love you at times...

Ever had one of those days, where mister blue bird is singing on your shoulder and you just had an unstoppable urge to dance like a fool?

After the come down of SK8 JAM where I baked in the sun, played on CDJs and skated for long enough to remind myself that I'm old. I was in a great mood.

SK8JAM 2013

I woke up late and made waffles for the misses. We were enjoying the nature in the backyard over coffee, when I suggested we go hunting for a dog or cat to add to our family. 

RECAP:

waffles + coffee + shopping for a new pet = EPIC DAY!

And it was an epic day. Although we came up short handed on a new 4 legged friend, there is nothing better then hanging out with puppies and kittens all day. ba ha

"Little Kitty" yea maybe not

So what does this have to do with my title about craigslist?

We were just settling into the idea of making dinner then I checked my email, and received a notice that someone in Dale City had just posted a CURB ALERT for 3 crates of Jungle records.

MEANING THEY WERE FREE!!!!

So I picked up my wife, who was considering a nap on the couch and we jetted out to Dale City to see what I could find. Sure enough there on the curb was 3 crates of jungle records, one flight case and an additional crate of hip-hop, motown! HAPPY FUCKING DAY!

EPIC WIN

The crazy thing is all the records look amazingly well maintained and like they've never been DJed with. I'm just starting to wrap my brain around these titles, artist and labels. 

Thus an epic day got even better.

Heres to Craigslist and the mystery person in Dale City that just made the 21st of July totally awesome.

 I want to start out with an apologies to General Motors, I was a little late to the show because the "disco nap" I took was just a little to powerful. ba ha

On to the night! After making my mad dash to Redzone, I was greeted with an ear full about how good General Motors set was.  Which is impressive as it was her first time playing out. Mad Props.

 The evening continued with Moody Moore, (General Motors mother)... nope you did not miss read that. My immediate reaction was A) THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME! Followed up by I totally want to be that style of parent. Moody Moore's set started out on a Jazzy almost Intelligent Jungle note progressing into a harder, darker Drum & Bass sound by the end of her set. Often times making it hard to choose between shooting photos or dancing my ass off.

 Joanna O... I'm just going to let that name float out there for a second. Much like her music it makes you take a step back, breathe, and roll into a Jazzy almost lounge set. I adore her track selection because just as your have settled into a rolling groove Joanna O takes your on a music Drum & Bass journey. Respect to Joanna and the Richmond scene.

 Jungle Jessi. The queen of the night, rounding out the final hours of Transit with what seemed like boundless energy. I first saw Jungle Jessi open up for Aphrodite almost a year or two ago. At the time I was spell bounded by her selections and tonight's set did not disappoint. Each DJ bears a little bit of their soul when they play music for others, and this was a exploration in the Drum & Bass sound strung together by with a heavy groove.

Keep Smiling.

Other Events: Decades worth of Turnstyle [6.29.13]

Events never work out as planned. Ba Ha. So Saturday morning after my first cup of coffee and a small bit of yoga I get a call. RobOne: "Hey buddy, can I ask for a favor?" At this point my only real plan for the day was napping, do some house cleaning and roll south for Turnstyle's 10 year celebration in Richmond. So doing RobOne a favor was totally do able. Ba Ha. 

As it turns out Ben Soundscape from the Insiders was being added to the line up for Turnstyle's party, but his plane from DC was delayed. Rob wanted me to pick him up and drive him down at 7pm. Done and Done, I thought. I can help out Turnstyle, Rob and this DJ that I've never met. Insert good karma here! When his plane got pushed back to 10pm I was cursing myself a bit as I would now be missing half the show but again I will take the good karma points. In the end Ben was able to get an earlier flight.

9:09pm: I picked Ben up from DCA and hit the road. After some chatter about his travels, music and what not... he took a bit of a nap. All and all for the best as I put down the hammer and drove to Richmond like a member of the 4 horse men. 10:02pm I pulled up to the Camel for rockstar parking. Let the celebration begain... or at least continue !!!

 Now I've missed most of the night but after hugs and a few free beers I'm not caring. Method One is on the wheels of steel by now and I'm really digging his tunes.

 I wish I could tell you the name of this tune because to get a reaction like that is often every DJs desire.

 After his well deserved beauty rest in my passenger seat Ben Soundscape delivered an eclectic selection of music treats for our ears. Its been well over a year since I saw him spin at Transit (in Fairfax, VA) and its fun to see how his music has morphed.

Now its once again that time. The bar has set us on our own paths home. I (through a mess up) in my google mapping punched in the wrong directions for the after party, instead arriving at my Brother in Laws new house. By that time 4am has rolled around and the battle cry for sleep sounded louder then the battle cry to play the records sitting in the boot of my car.

I would like to end this with a huge THANK YOU to everyone that made that night a wicked success. Joanna O, Jesse, Patrick Currier, Stunna, Method One, Ben Soundscape, RobOne, The Camel and everyone else who came out and danced. Mad respect to you all.
