I am very excited to announce that I will be playing this Saturday November 17th with the my WCC family at the prime house club in Los Angeles, BALANCE. The cream of the crop of house DJs play at BALANCE when they come to LA. It's one of my favorite clubs in town and where I like to get my groove on. It's an intimate venue with an amazing sound system. Dustin Brown, Torin Rea, and myself will be rocking a 6 hour set until 4am! Check out the flyer for more info and check the pics from the last time we played there together.

In the last few months I have received quite a few emails from people wondering what had happened to my old mailing list or why I wasn't sending any updates.  They were wondering if they had been dropped from it. I would send an email once or twice a month to let them know about new mixes or gigs. When I re-did the new site and I included a blog I didn't think I would need the list anymore since people can subscribe to it and get the updates right here. Well, the list is back!  New and improved. When you join now you can chose your interest so I can send you an email that is relevant to what you want to be informed about. For example most people want to know when I have a new mix up but not necessarily when I have a gig in Los Angeles if they live in Barcelona. The emails are also in HTML format now so they look much better than the old ones. You can join on any of the site's pages by entering your email and clicking join on the sidebar to your left.

My Shameless Sessions show for the month of Novermber is available for download. It aired Sunday the 4th on SS Radio UK. This is one of my favorite one from the year. I'm getting a lot more adventurous with the accapellas ;)

The West Coast Collective is back at Balance on November 17th 2007. Dustin Brown, Torin Rea and myself will be rocking the prime house club in Los Angeles for 6 hours from 10pm to 4am. This is with a doubt my favorite place to play in Los Angeles. The energy from the headz there is amazing. Check out some of the pics from the last time we played there.

Almost a month with out any updates.... I feel bad. It's the same for the West Coast Collective site. I've been stupid busy since I got back from Ibiza. Some of you know that I own a Visual Effects company that I founded almost 4 years ago. I don't just work there, I run the company with my partner and I am the lead artist. When I started Below the Radar I figured I would work less and have more time for my favorite hobby (DJing of course) since I would make my own hours. Boy was I wrong... Being successful means that you are working non stop with lots of returning clients. That's where we are right now. In a business where a lot of our competitors are down sizing or closing we are expanding. This year we've double in size and are well off to make more than our numbers from last year. When I got back from Spain I had to jump right away and finish a big television campaign that I had started before I left for Suzuki Cars. If you live in the US and you watch TV you've seen some of the new ads that are running. As soon as that was over I was on two BMW commercials for the Chinese market that had tons of visual effects and CG. I was working 12 to 14 hours a day for three weeks straight (including week ends). The only break I had was when I was playing at my residency Glow. After that it was back to more Suzuki and right now I'm finishing a job for Bridgestone that is a real funny commercial. We are also bidding for three really good commercials for the Italian market that involves people who turn paper thin but live in a 3D world.

October is also a big month because all of my close friends have birthday in that month including me. Sandra, my wife, is in October and so are 9 other of my friends. Two of them on the same day as me, October 23rd. For my birthday we celebrated at Glow since I was playing there and since it was close to Halloween everybody dressed up in real great costumes. Every girl was dressed as a "sexy (insert what ever you can think of here)". I loved that my wife Sandra came as a "Crazy Ho". She had a real sexy asylum straight jacket costume. The biggest surprise was that my good friend Jay-J came all the way from NY with his girlfriend to attend the party. I love Jay-J. He has become a close friend. One of the perks of that is that I get to hear and have a chance to get my hands on a lot of his new productions and remixes that he is working on for the launch of Shifted Music. Unfortunately I can't play these on any of my radio shows or online mixes until they are officially release or come out as promos. I do play them at live gigs and I can tell you that the reaction I always get is "OMG what was that?!" Be on the look out for a real sexy track with Michelle Shaparow that will remind you of the good old days of Naked Music, a peak time dance floor destroyer with Jay-J's partner in crime Latrice Barnett, a track with Random Soul that just oozes soul when you play it and of course Jay-J's artist album. Anyway the party was a blast and I will put up some pics as soon as I can gather them from all the people who were there.

Finally I would like to apologize to all the people who have email or contacted me and whom I haven't reply to yet. My goal this week is to catch up with all of that and if you wrote to me I will reply even if it's late. Thank you all for your understanding and support!
