Wow! I was surprised and excited when Bigie suggested resurrecting the GloryHole name for a headlining engagement at Fuse Friday on July 11th, 2010.  Our musical styles have changed a great deal since the last time we performed as GloryHole (opening up for MSTRKRFT at Myst in Scottsdale) and i cant wait to hear what sort of madness we end up playing.  If you are looking to dance your face off at one of the coolest parties in town, then join us at Bar Smith next week!

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:

I made this edit a while ago and it really gets the job done.  I remastered it the other day for my upcoming Cinco De Malo mixtape as well… Then i made this artwork and it blows hard. There’s not a lot of editing you can do in Photoshop but i try to keep it realz.

Who’s going to Felix Cartal @ Bar Smith tonight!?

Flyer design by www.meanmugg.com

Bigie A.K.A. Meanmugg constantly impresses me with his design abilities.  He’s oficially my “go-to” graphics guy and about 99% of the imagery you see from me, is actually his creation. On top of that, he does graphics for what seems like most all of the DJ/Promoters/Artists in Phoenix and it’s a rare weekend that you can go out and not see him or his work somewhere along the way.

Besides his skills with Photoshop though, he is also an eclectic and seasoned DJ.  Along with being one of the new Electrostatic residents at Sanctum Nightclub every Tuesday night, Bigie will also be making a special appearance at Faux Show on Friday, March 6th.

Follow, friend and add this guy on Twitter, Facebook, & Myspace

(You can see that we’re best friends)

I was on Fashen’s blog a few weeks ago and saw a curious post and Youtube video about a track he produced called “One”.  I couldn’t find it anywhere online so i figured i might get it form our mutual friend,  graphic guy, and DJ cohort Bigie AKA Meanmugg.  He did have it, and was kind enough to send it to me… so now im sharing it with you! It got me thinking of how amazing the original sample is and how its been used by so many people over the years from Diplo and Fashen currently to Public Enemy and De La Soul in the past. Keep the tradition alive by downloading all three and make your own mega-mix!

Fred Wesley & The JB’s – Blow Your Head

Public Enemy – Public Enemy No. 1

Fashen – One

In doing some Youtube research for the post, i also found this video below, which is now the highlight of my day… if you’re an H.P. Lovecraft or Eli Escobar fan, Holla!
