The last couple weeks for me musically have been insane. I've gone to see some amazing djs perform and also have been fortunate to share the stage with some dudes that make me swooon.
So much so, that I have been saving up all my reviews of the artists I've seen for one Giant Post!
It all started on October 31st in a city called Juarez in Mexico. (just so happens to be the murder capital) Staccato played a festival (Border Noise) with some of our biggest heroes in the world. We played on the MINIMAL day with freaking Tiefschwarz, Audiofly and Steve Lawler.
Here's a random "fan video" we found....
Then we get back to LA...
and The MAJOR CREW (STACCATO, ACID GIRLS, MIKE B) played DJ SNEAKS BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!!!
And I must say, Derrick Carter played the sexiest DJ set I HAVE EVER HEARD.
The next night I went to watch Kaskade at Vanguard. I mean, I love the big room sound...but when I go see Kaskade, I wanna hear DEEP HOUSE. But when I saw him spin he spun 90% Big room Ibiza House..... But it still sounded beautiful on that Function One Soundsystem.
The next week, we went to go kick it LA's FIRST ALL DIRTYBIRD PARTY Featuring Claude Von Stroke, & The Martin bros. KILLED IT!!
Michna had his album release party that night... but he joined us after...
SO THEN THATSATURDAY THE COPS BROKE UP MAJOR WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR OF THE PARTY. ASSHOLES. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME OUT AND MAKE AN OFFICIAL APOLOGY TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT. THE ANTI-RAVE TASK FORCE IN LA IS BACK IN EFFECT. JERKS.... AND A BIG SHOUT OUT TO JEMZ & MICHNA.. WHO WILL BE ON THE MAJOR AT WMC NOW INSTEAD.
So after all that rain and sadness came the sunshine and happiness AKA my Favorite, Laidback Luke at CINESPACE.
here's a video.
Please Ignore Steve Aoki screaming on the Mic in the first 10 seconds "get off the stage" but for real the stage was about to collapse due to the amount of people on it!
AND TONIGHT!! IM GOING TO WATCH AK1200!!!!
Anyway, I guess my point is, LA is Killing it right now... and for the first time This NYC Transplant can say "I LOVE YOU LA!!!"
