So i linked up with local clothing icon, Bobby Fresh, to put together this slammin’ party for Cinco de Mayo. It goes down on May 5th (of coarse) in Phoenix @ the local dive, Philthy Phil’s.  We’ve got some of the baddest DJs in Phoenix holding down the music for you and at midnight, it is also the birthday of not one, but two of the valley’s most notorious party rockers: DJ Bigie & Kevin MOB.

To help celebrate, there will be clothing give-aways from Bobby Fresh along with free copies of my new mixtape which they have sponsored, “Cinco de Malo“.  There might even be a piñata filled with candy & crack to be busted up on the dance floor!?

All night we’re gonna be playing the best and hardest music from south of the border.  If it wasn’t made or influenced by brown people, then it isn’t getting played tonight! To take care of that, we have a diverse and talented crop of DJs taking care of you all night long:

This one is just in time for the weekend… Catch me playing this and many other great tunes tonight with CONGOROCK [Fools Gold, Italy] @ Bar Smith for Fuse Friday!

My good friend DJ Ephx came over the other week and helped me grind this one out…  If you know the original track, then you know it kills the club and has this polished/grimey element to it that’s got a lot of appeal.  So I sped up the beat, chopped some samples, and looped the vocals to create a track that punches you in the face!  I’m very proud of it and feel like its a real step towards making the kind of tracks that i would like to hear. Also it was mastered by a special someone who wishes to remain nameless… Hopefully you enjoy it too!
