The Jump Off! Takes over NYE at The Horseshoe Lounge.

New Years Eve….I can take it or leave it.  It is a fun night if you have some good peeps to hang with and a sound system to take over.  Well kids thats just what we are doing.  No cover, No Bullshit. Just the crew throwing down at a friends neighborhood bar.   We have Drop Logik on the decks as well as Dr. Zen with a special all records set.

We do this party about once a month (see pics) and I was able to record this mix last month.  Its way rough in spots as we had drunk pretty heavily (no excuse) but most of these mixes were totally freestyle.  Don’t hate….

Hope to see you out on NYE.   Happy 2010

“A Decade of Flying Lotus” Mixed by Gaslamp Killer

Flying Lotus has changed the way I look at new Hip Hop sounds.  To me he is one of the best out right now doing it.  Funny thing is he has been at it for 10 years.  This is a mix of those past years deftly mixed by Gaslamp Killer. Download it spark a joint and knock your neck out.

Everybody swings on Major Lazer’s “Keep It Going Louder” video but this shit is way more on point.

The Black Pearl aka The Shit Ship is destroyed in Colorado Springs.

After an 8 week tour of the US and Canada the tour bus we deemed “The Shit Ship” became high sided on some train tracks in Colorado Springs and was destroyed by an oncoming train.  It was all over the news yesterday here in CO. , read about it here. We had so much fun on this bus it’s a sad day.  Plus my special tour pillow was still onboard.  RIP – The Shit Ship.

Nina Simone remixed by Troublemaker

Dude is busy.  Bottom line.

The fine folks over at EA asked me to remix this classic Nina Simone song for their new game, The Saboteur. Much like my previous Johnny Cash remix, there were no “parts” or a “session,” just a stereo master to work with on this one.

The game has been getting great reviews, and Jason Bentley at KCRW has already been showing the love on Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Definitely feeling good about this one (horrible pun intended).

I heard this a few months ago but I guess it just got cleared for release.  Got to say that Troublemaker make shit his own without compromising the original works. Commisioned by e3 to remix the track for the video game release for their THE SABOTEUR game.  Pretty amazing stuff overall.  Cop it now and give it a listen.   Gorgeous track.  Lovely Remix.  Thanks Buddy.

“The Jump Off” invades Vail, get ready to get sweaty…..

Super excited to start rocking The Jump Off in Vail at Garfs in the Lionshead area of the Vail. Its going down this Friday 01/04/09 and select Fridays there after.  It wont be a weekly, we will rock it out at least 2 times a month.  Garf’s is located at the base of the gondola basically and is a traditional watering hole for locals and tourist alike.  I have feeling this party could get crazy.  If your in the mountains as a weekend warrior or a living the dream type come party we me.  Let’s get bananas.

This is the flyer that got picked which I think came out fresh.   Here are the alternate designs that where deemed to have to much ass in them.
