DJ DUSK (1974-2006)

R.I.P. HOMIE...

We were just becoming good friends, I can't believe you left us. You looked out for me harder than anyone else since I moved to LA. Your music & parties were beyond almost everything else I experienced since I moved here, but your friendship and spirit will be missed the most.

we miss you already...
legends never die...

Well, you travel thousands of miles away from NYC, just to bump into--NYC people!!
Spotted at Club Pegasus in Shanghai, L to R:
Mike Mo, Michna, Daddy Dog, and friends. About an hour later the police came into the club (wearing helmets with tinted visors) and shut 'em down. People started to make "WOOP WOOP!" sounds. I tried to take a picture and TROUBLE. I got surrounded by cops, security, bar managers, and rubberneckers. All yelling at me in Chinese. The cops were trying to take my camera, and scroll thru the pictures of the night, so I scrolled showing them there were no pics of the helmetted men. I was the royal assneck foreigner. Close call. (By the way it is not uncommon to see people on the street with amputated limbs)

to celebrate, i ate these.

and these tasty roaches of the sea.

WHAT!!!!!

Here in Shanghai there is a new place called Lab. It was established this year by DJ V-Nutz. It's like hanging out at a skatepark but for DJ's. So heads come meet, hang, mix, juggle, use the WiFi (pronounced "Wifey") and talk mad ish about music. And usually there are foreigners so its a worldly nerd out. Did you know there are no record stores in mainland China? Not one. Just stores that sell CD's and of course...DVD!DVD!!DVD!!! it's out of control here. I got Lost Season 3. Canal Street got nuthin'. Anyways, the Lab is a dope place, mad decks, couches, roof access for BBQ, walls to paint, upstairs video den, and free. Also totally independent. Tonight I am DJing at Pegasus, 98 Huai Hai Zhong Road...See you there!

Let me preface this post by saying I am no fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, some might call me a hater when it comes to anything purple & gold. See, I used to live and work in Southern California at the height of the latest Laker Dynasty (2000-2003). I've witnessed the collapse of the Blazers in 2000, the Robert Horry heartbreaker against Sacramento, and the Derek Fisher .02 second shot against the Spurs. I still believe games at Staples Center are called in a way that is beneficial to large market cities such as L.A. with NBA superstars such as Kobe and Shaq. I've observed many unreasonable "flop" calls, and wrong call continuations resulting with the inevitable "and-1." I've endured countless hours of Southern California sports-talk homers praising Kobe and Shaq, Shaq and Kobe, Kobe vs Shaq, Shaq vs Kobe, Kobe Kobe Kobe, Shaq Shaq Shaq, etc. I even had to deal with Rick Fox... Rick Fox!!! Not to mention, the endless office jokes I received about being a Clips fan (Darius, what happened?).

I have since moved to NYC, and for some narcissistic reason, I can't ignore this storied franchise. I still find myself tuning into SoCal sports talk radio shows to keep tabs on everyone's favourite Southern California organized sports team. Only because I thought the Laker's were going to be bad this year, and I can finally get a chuckle at the whole situation (everyone knew they would stink last year, so that doesn't count).

Well, the joke is on me... and I can not believe what I'm about to say;
Hats off to the Los Angeles Laker's and Kobe Bryant for their remarkable 2006 season. Don't be fooled, I am not saying I am a fan, but now that they are somewhat considered and underdog, it makes them a wee bit harder to root against. Anywhoo, the point of this blog is:

Steve Nash will be named MVP for the second year in a row. When any basketball enthusiast knows Kobe is most deserving (scoring leader, 81pts in 3 quarters, blah). Personally, if I had a vote, it would go to Kobe first, LeBron gets second and Nash somewhere down the line. It's an understatement to say the team around Kobe is awful... Luke Walton? Yet, Kobe has the Lakers sitting at the 7th seed in the West... Smush Parker? In other words, Kobe got screwed... Devon George? And tonight, when he faces Nash, I'm sure he is not going to do anything crazy to prove anyone wrong, especially the MVP voters... Chris Mihm?

My "bold" Game 2 prediction: Kobe drops 45+

P.S. Regarding Coach Of The Year honors. Don't get me wrong, Little General is a great coach, but for the 2006 season, he is not deserving of Coach Of The Year status when Allie McDunleavy's father got the Clippers in the playoffs?! Yes, I said Clippers and Playoffs in the same breathe. How great would it be to see both L.A. teams matched up in round 2?

TTL Party @ Red Room, Shanghai China. Expect plenty of Bass/Booty/Freesyle/Baile/Bmore/House/Hip Hop/Broom Step/Dork Wave/Cold Pop and the like. More details to follow. Thanks to Contra and Gianna Rellman for the flyer.

I'm going on record as saying it: best movie ever. Here's what instantly sells me on any narrative: time travel, dinosaurs, submarines, and I have a soft spot for those "reality is not really reality" movies that were popular for like one summer.

That being said, Crimson Tide is so crushingly good I recently bought it on DVD just to show it to 2 friends who had never seen it. Denzel pretty much comes into his own as the indignantly articulate, incidentally black guy who has to use his booksmarts to overcome prejudices people have against him. Gene Hackman also comes into his own as the narrow-minded, mega-intense older guy who terrifies people when he loses his cool and screams (slash puts a gun to Petty Officer Hillare's expressionless head).

I dunno what it is, I get a big kick out of people yelling at each other in curt military tones, a la

"Conn! This is Sonar! Holy shit, sir, the Akula Hunter-Killer sub got a torpedo off before we hit her!"
"Conn this is Sonar, torpedo in the water bearing 1-9-0 heading fast sir, it's gonna be close!"
"Launch countermeasures!"
"Countermeasures are in the water!"

Or

"Stand down soldier, that is a DIRECT ORDER! (about as explicitly intense as it gets in the army world I imagine)"
"Sir I will NOT stand down!"

Plus in any submarine movie there's always that part where one section of the sub gets flooded and someone has to lock his friends in the flooding room and watch their faces through the circle window banging on it going "Glub glub glub GLUBBB!!!" and the guy not in the flooding room falls to his knees because he's seen the true horror of war.

On a side note, I'm glad to see the blog is getting hatery. I don't want it to become that "digger's forum" where everyone hates on everything mind you, but I have had enough of blogs that're all "this shit is fiery hot bananas right now! Plus, checkout these AWESOME DJs playing at whatever o'clock at Douche Bar on Friday!" BTW, I'm spinning with Deus Ex Michna at Lit the last Friday of May -- details forthcoming.

Also, Pete is gay/woefully out of touch.

Also, welcome James to the blogging community.

Mr. Scruff and Nico.
Two of the nicest people.
Two of my favorite DJs.
Cheeky new shirt.

P.S. Turntables Six Remix album out now!

Sometimes the neighborhood Exxon/Dunkin Donuts wins over the "summer body".

I hate rodents. So does Lloydski. Rats in the subway, trash, whatever. It's a dirty city, no big deal. But when you clean your apartment as infrequently as we do ( we have food leftovers from the SuperBowl in our fridge), sometimes you come across some shit. Drewzy used to exterminate when he was crashing on our couch, but now it's all us. We were just shrieking like little girls. I thought something smelled weird.

I hate to set off my blog-life on some hater shit... but you guys are killing me with this Gnarles Barkley shit. While I'd love more than anything to see Big Gipp & Just Blaze put the smack down on these two, I have to admit, "Crazy" is a cool enough song. My problem is that the last 5 out of 6 times I've DJ'd the DJ before me has ended their set with this little gem, resulting in a dance floor that clears faster than Diddy's face on Proactiv. I'm not just talking about soft ass L.A. DJ's either, some of NY's finest are falling for it too. What's up? Can't we get a Josh Patrick remix with some real drums or something?

If you can flip this in your set and keep things moving, your the man. But don't drop it on some "now I'm gonna let the world know what i'm really feeling" and than bounce shit.

P.S. The theme photo shoots aren't helping.
P.P.S. Look out for Flames Worthy (Blu Jemz + Witch Doctor) debut full length coming in the '09 on (where's my) Money Studies Records.

To mark the occasion of the new Rub Remixes Vol.6 EP rolling through the doors of the Lab (and onto the daily tonight!), I thought it might be nice to relive this moment from a few months ago. Ladies and gentlemen, we present DJ Ayres, Cosmo Baker, Cool Disco MC Spank Rock and Teki Tek of TTC at SXSW. Fight fight fight!

get hyped frenchman!
the cool one shows a rare burst of emotion.
villareal game tomm....

China is like the opposite of Miami. Strictly A-Cups and flat butt.

increase the hype.
thnx induce.

p-gorgeous kinda looks like mcnulty from the wire when unshaven,
but in inside, he's totally him.
standing up for morality and justice on the tough streets
in a f-ed up system... combating darkness with darkness.
the only thing he fears....
the korean krossover.
shipshet will go down.

im calling it now,
we get defensive specialist:
matt "ball hawk" arlyck.

pretty crazy logo for a big wig pharmaceutical company.
works tho.

Is it me, or does Shipset crew member T-Kat bear a borderline disturbing resemblance to comedian David Cross?

Not saying... just saying...

i really really really like seeing this band live.

So we know office basketball games are cliche and bound to spiral out of control (just ask Pete about the unravelling of his squad last match) but we at Lab HQ haven't played in a while and it's high time. There are some new people in the mix and Liz will document. Maybe we can youtube the highlights. The ugly part is that we're all pretty shitty and everyone is playing really hard. Adult sports are awesome. We trounced the production squad last time even though "the mngmt" got hot from the outer arch. We've got a big void to fill as Young Drewzy is in LA. Anyway, a look at almost all the starters......Sizzle will coach as he has a bum wrist and smokes too many butts. Lloydski declined a photo as he's still getting his "summer body" in order. shipset in all it's faded glory....Rainey, Ak-Boogs, Sizzy, T-Kat, and Old Man Gorgeous. We're working on a full body shot of Dave Pitts.

"pull your sack up"

number 5 is alive!
sitting in bed yesterday, I thought it would be cool
to go back to the old Lab site and start re-posting top 5's on the blog.
this one is from July 2003.

1) the nature hookup
dj nature sent us a box of incredible records from Puerto Rico. for free!

2) rhode island getaway
i think this was when the mgmnt went to rhode island, ate chowdah, played cards, etc.

3) stress drops the bomb
okay, this one was a bit cryptic, but since it's almost 3 years removed, we can tell you the details. dj stress had to go #2 quite badly, but made the wrong decision to go the Starbuck bathroom. trapped in line behind moms with their kids, and other caffeine-induced bomb droppers, stress created a brown baby right there in line. true story!

4) grimaldi's, best pizza in bk
this place is 5 minutes from the office. jasper rescinded his endorsement in a later top 5, giving the award to difara's.

5) drunk dirk
a friend of a friend ran into dirk and nash at a bar. hammered.

woodman.
don't make me...

Yes that's right you worms! Crawl at my feet! Ping-Pong champion number one ovah heah! I'm the fucking King of New Jersey! Yes, yes the rumors are true... after not winning any video game since Megaman 2, I somehow won the Ping Pong Rockstar Games/Turntable Lab championship. Mostly by playing dirty! My strategy for the whole thing was 2-fold:

1. Beat everyone in my division so I could face off against Pete, with whom I've been email trash-talking lately (it was round-robin style, plus Pete's last blog entry about Cut Copy was just embarassing. It was like that Rolling Stone 2 months ago where they're all "TV On The Radio is a great new band no one knows about!" Good thing you have hip interns, Rolling Stone! I think NPR even beat you guys on that one!)

2. Use my man Liu Ping (Previously referred to as "The Avatar of China's Perfect Overarching Rage") and be like the Chinese economy -- UNSTOPPABLE!

I am the best. Then afterwards, Lab employees went to Nublu and got punk'd by Nuyorican Soul Poets Cafe rejects. I get it, everyone there, you like Nina Simone!

i don't where the hell i was going with this image, but watching Arsenal play last night has to degree, restored my faith in art and style. watching them work their one touch magic and incredible ball distribution had me yelling out even in non-attacking midfield play. Henry was again untouchable, making that same move on the end-line several times untouched. Is there anyone quicker? Moving away from my style theme, the player of the game had to be Gilberto. That guy completely disrupted Riquelme's game (although his free kicks were pretty incredible) with bullying and fierce challenges. Hleb is quickly becoming one of my favorite Gunners, he's unveiling more and more moves as the season goes on. He's like the equivalent to White Chocolate, but he rarely turns gives the ball away. Villareal is a great team though, an underdog that I would normally be rooting for if Arsenal wasn't still in it. BTW, was it me or was the ref totally biased against Villa? Make sure to check the second leg next week on ESPN. Night games rule.

If Barca and Arsenal advance, it might be the most creative final in history.

Holy crap yeah, that was a good time. For those of you who might've been thinking about it, don't even. Woody + The Avatar of China's Perfect Overarching Rage + SNAP: The Power (and Oran "juice" Jones, Ect.) = UNSTOPPABLE. Don't mess around or you will be.....seeerrrvedd????? (ahhh...hahaha....)

And for those of you who weren't satisfied with freaky Nepalese baby, go ahead and do a google image search for "harlequin fetus."

(P.S.- Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, out 5.22.06, $39.99. The play is fuckin vehement, and it looks mean like something you haven't seen--unless you PC Game, but this moves better, and it's fun, like a cheetah-with-a-keytar. Apt of Rockstar to hone in on and showcase the capabilities of the next gen consoles here, before looking to something more massive (Midnight Club, Warriors, GTA, ect). And all that. I could say Table Tennis is polished, but really it gleams--yes give me beer and I will apply my vast and unbounded use of the online thesaurus in your favor. Anywise, admirable for what it is. I game so I know--natch.)

(Ok I've said my peace, and I'm signing off before I try to make a joke about someone getting Ping-P0WNNED!!!!1!!11!!@!!!)

-Tha Prodigy

one of the coolest way to get your product some shine.
Rockstar invited the Lab to this swank pad in Chinatown
to check out their new ping pong game.
After romancing us with free pizza and beer, we proceeded to participate
in the first annual Rockstar-Lab Ping Pong Tournament simultaneously
played on 3 flatscreen setups. Woodman prevailed taking
out "The Prodigy" Liz Spangler and "The Outsider" Freddy Got Fingered.

some observations:
1) match of the tournament: lloydski vs. The Prodigy, 50 hit rallies
2) shot of the match: The Prodigy's winning death shot vs. lloydski with the expression
of an assasin
3) unfair advantage: they played Snap's "The Power" which gave Woodman
and extra boost in the finals, conversely Black Moon brought him down
4) asians prevail in video games once again, big surprise
5) note to big companies: give us free food and a good time, and we will blog you.

Say what you want about House Industries. Sometimes their font collections can be a bit kitsch or considered a novelty, but their designs are always on. I am definitely feeling their new release; United, which is a nice departure from the overly used Machine face.

I don't live in a box

Check out the newest Bay crack and listen to this new "VANS" song. That's right, I said, "VANS SONG." Shit is crazy. If you told me in my skate days, while I was patching up my ollie holes in my hi-tops Vans with shoe-gloo, that in 2006, gangstas would be sportin the same shits, calling them crispy and clean, I'd call you a liar and prolly spit in your slurpee. Word is, no matter how ridiculous this sounds, its true, and its catchin' on like fiyah, and everybody who used to sport Vans is loving the due respect that these simple foot gear deserve. Cali contacts even report massive airplay on 106 KMEL, and the myspace page even has kids thizzin' and repping slip-ons.

I was looking for a reason to post some picts of Xiao, the RE:UP Manual 10 cover model. We knew she worked here, but just found out she moonlights for these guys as well. So, there it is... my "reason."

Sticking with the VJ thing, gotta go with this look for the next cover.

Sometimes Chuck Klosterman is the worst guy ever, and sometimes he's the best. About 50% of Killing Yourself To Live is worthless navel-gazing and about 50% of it is relatively valid social/musical commentary. Ditto with Sex Drugs & Cocoa Puffs. Every once in a while though, he will hit comic gold.

Everyone loves the In-N-Out Burger. The shit is super tasty, every meat eater loves them, they cater to vegetarians and that whacky Atkins crowd, and, allegedly offer outstanding employee benefits. They will also do whatever you ask... You definitely don't get that kind of service from this guy.

Ironically, I caught this image from these dudes.

This takes me back.

Got a new employee this week...
Say hello to Jowls Peterson.

In no particular order, my heroes in this cold, cold world:

1. Thank you, Los Angeles and 90210-era guitar noodling

2. Archibald

3. Fellow Chinese-American!

4. Whoever came up with this site

5. Phil Spector for the 00s, sans gun-wielding

6. Thankfully, dude is dorkier than me

7. He is superior, Constructicons inferior.

8. Have you seen this record cover? Dude is all "I'm fucking crazy so get in line to suck my junk!"

9. "You got the memory of a fuckin' fly!

10. And of course, the second-richest duck in Duckberg

Am I just an old hater? When did I become totally fucking incapable of expressing any sentiment in a sincere manner? Is it just because I used to work at the Lab store with Andy and Kyle, the two biggest haters on the planet? I literally just walk around seething all the time, it's like I'm the only sensible human being left in a world full of horrible taste. Do people not understand the concept of gaudy and ostentatious? New York City is an endless all-out assault on the senses!

It's like, Jesus! Good thing I'm crossing the street to avoid the pan-handler/Greenpeace people, only to be deafened by the screeching announcements of keeping my eyes open for suspicous packages. Ah at last, the F train! Now all I have to do is inhale this inescapable stench of urine! I hate you, my own body, for having to breathe in order to stay alive!

It's like Led Zeppelin and Bob Marley: not inherently terrible (actually quite good, if you're a pothead high-schooler), but it has become terrible due to the overwhelming tidal wave of douchebags who like it. Johnny Cash and the Pixies have gone the way of the Zep, and now when I see this shirt on anyone, it may as well read "Extreme Right-Wing Republican."

Only OMD, "Training Day," and Charles Schultz understand how I truly feel.

definitely got to cop multiples for
me and my future offspring.

Spending too much time typing? Maybe this will help.

I saw this amazing documentary the other night called "Following Sean" about this kid growing up in Haight-Ashbury in the late sixties and how his life and the life of his family has changed over the years. Sort of like Michael Apted's "7Up" but better; more personal, more subtle and really insightful about the way this country has changed since the sixties. It's opening at Cinema Village in NYC on May 3rd - it's the kind of film you REALLY need to see on the big screen so check it out.

Sunday afternoon. Here I am with Egg Foo, about to go in like pervy surgeons at an infinite blob of records. No joking around, this place is unbelievable and this is only the top floor. The basement is ten times bigger and loaded top to bottom with dust and hidden heaters. DJ's Not pictured: Snackmaster, Poignant, and Austrian Steve. Exclusive finds: Moochie Mack - Inst, Wavo LP, DJ Kinzzie 12", and "Bombs over Batman". All Summer heat you dont know yet, but will soon enough. The wierd part is none of us planned to meet up there, we kinda just did.

browsing the web, came across this on a Skins' fan site. early prediction, you heard it from b. genius first, Redskins takin it all this year. oh yea, fuck the eagles.
