This Sunday marks the fifth installment of Phoenix’s best and only “DJs in the Park” event, Civic Space Jam.  Curated by HartBreaks and DJEntrification, this month will feature myself & DJ Melo as guest DJs + Nathaniel N. opening up the event with live electric music compositions. As always, the there will also be live art by the iconic Lalo Cota and a raffle with great prizes from contributing local businesses and artists.

This event is all ages, free, and the most fun you’ll have in Phoenix on a Sunday night.  Focusing on great music and local culture, Civic Space Jam attracts a wide variety of people from all over the valley in a laid back and comfortable setting.

If you haven’t been out to the event yet, the festivities start at 4:00pm one Sunday a month at Civic Space Park in downtown Phoenix on Central Ave. just north of the Van Buren metro station.  Since were on the subjects of parks as well, here’s my favorite jam featuring these beloved municipalities…

Good friend and fellow lover (not fighter), Anthony Hart A.K.A. HeartBreaks sent me his amazing hour long mix “The Long Goodbye” the other day… and it’s BUMPIN! Lots of broken beats, hip-hop remixes, spaced out vocal samples, and electronic love seemlessly mixed to create a hypnotic, soulful experience.  I have my suspicions as to who it was made for but i don’t care cuz im gonna steal it and give it to my girl, claiming it as my own! Just playing… kind of… but really, its that good!

If you don’t know HeartBreaks, you get the chance to hang with him every Tuesday @ The Lost Leaf for Downtime, or one Sunday (TODAY!) a month for the free, all ages event, Civic Space Jam at Civic Space Park in downtown.

Also, the Phoenix New Times just named Mr. Hart the “Hipster King of Phoenix”… check out the article here.
