NYE 2009 Weekend Wrap-up & Thanks





Hey everyone!

First off, Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had fun at one of many awesome events here in Los Angeles or wherever you were!

We were fortunate enough to play at LUNAR, a great event put on by Deeper Moods and Spectrum. There was a tremendous energy all night, people smiling and grooving and gettin down from the get-go. Joe Rod and Scott K. played before us, and Sergio V, Nonfiction and Nic Alvarado also did. Everyone rocked it and had the house room bouncin! The techno room was reee-diculous! The lighting set up was on point, and i caught Alland and some others tearing it up. My fave set by far was Suli Belarto's, i'm hoping someone recorded that. I love when there is a techno-house collaboration because you can hop around from room to room and get your fix all night long! Many thanks to Joe Rod, Sergio V.
and all others involved, we had a blast!

After a couple days of NYE recovery, we hosted the HAWT House Room @ New Beginnings on Saturday night. We had the pleasure of bringing back longtime LA favorite Johnny Fiasco, a true house music living legend. He has always been a fave of mine, not only for his versatile production and DJ sets, but for being one of the realest cats you'll ever meet. J-Splat also played with us and it was nice to finally put a face to the name after all these years. We had a very nice crowd out there and everyone was dancing to stay warm cuz it was rather chilly! Also The Premier Events Center is really dope, its the old Soul Folks Cafe in downtown and they renovated it big time, so hopefully people start using it more often. Many thanks to Teknowlwdge, Mike Voss and Sylvie for having us, they worked very hard to oput this on and have their War of the Roses event coming up in February that should be sick! Greenskeepers Live, Living Legends and more...



Anyhow that's pretty much it, looking forward to shaking more behind in 2009!

Love!
