Finally got my custom pillow by @mandybobandy! Loving every inch of it from the custom stitching to the details in the packaging. More pictures to come… (Taken with instagram)
Last year, I had an opportunity to volunteer in the TL on Christmas to pass out toys and food to less fortunate people in our community. It was one of the most rewarding and fulfilling Christmases I’ve ever had. Usually when my kids are off to their dad’s for Christmas, I get hella drunk and watch A Christmas Story on replay over and over….
This year, I won’t have the chance to volunteer, but I wanted to be apart of giving back to SF. Tonight at John Colins our Wednesday weekly party will be having our holiday event featuring vendors selling local goods, and Stoli Vodka giving a gift back when anyone brings a unwrapped toy.
All donations will go to the SFFD, whom will distribute the toys to organizations passing out toys to kids like the one I volunteered for last year.
Feel Good music will be provided by myself and DJ Lady Ryan.
Vendors: True SF, Papalote Salsa, Lady Bird SF Jewelry by Nina Parks, Fatal Jewelry, Unscripted Clothing, and more.
No cover all night, and complimentary champagne for ladies before 11. How can you beat that?
was really happy to play at Krazy Mondays yesterday with the Wild N Krazy Kids. This Wednesday at Crush we have a very special guest DJ Gelson coming to bless the decks with the lovely resident DJ Lady Ryan. Come through to John Colins to check it out.

11.11.11 - Marks my 28th birthday this year. In this past year, I have gone through a lot of transitions and ready to take on more…
One of my good friends and DJ sisters, DJ That Girl, whom I share a connection with via 11:11 sightings, warned me about “saturn’s return”. Thinking it sounded cool, I decided to name the event in which I’m throwing this Friday at Eve Lounge. Little did I know it would bite me in the ass at the nick of time…
Come celebrate Saturn’s Return in my life with my good friends and loved ones DJing:
CUTSO, THE WHOOLIGAN, THAT GIRL.
special guests:
DJ BABU (Dialated Peoples | World Famous Beat Junkies)
DJ Merk 1 (all the way From Chicago)

I can’t even express how proud of I am of my sister Inkfat. She joined the Peaches crew this year and has quickly become fam. Watching her grow into a tremendous DJ, whom has developed her skill with HELLA hard work and long time love for music, has been inspiring. She recently released a mix dedicated to her recently passed Mother called “Some Kind Of Beautiful”. The smooth soulful hip hop mix includes drops from a flurry of DJs & MC homies and family from her brother, Allzy aka Illefect to Mama MC extraordinaire Melina Jones. The mix displays her true love for music and the community, and the love she gets back from it.

SO PROUD OF YOU BOO!
This summer has been such a musically influential period in my life. I’ve discovered a new found love for more uptempo soul in all it’s forms, visited different venues to hear new (to me) DJs, played out of my normal setlist, and been humbled out of my own comfortability of how I see things from a musical perspective. It’s been an amazing journey and I have my close friends and DJ colleagues (of some sorts) to thank for that.
In this summer journey, one key influential person who has shared music and shook me into the light has recently released a mix as an ode to the summer of 2011. Released on Vinroc’s blog thatsthatstuff.com & mixcrate (for FREE download), a mix by one of my dearest friends and someone who’s opinion and interest I hold high: The Whooligan. The mix includes artist from Jazzy Jeff, Bryan Boogie, Jose James, Fred Everything and much more. The name of the strategically mixed album is called “Heartbeat (a summer house mix)”. Album art work done by Arnelle Lozada whom The Whooligan included photos from this summer’s shenanigans. I’m very proud to have a cameo in the album art work but more so to have the selector of this album as my close friend.

I know it’s been a minute since I last posted anything on Tumblr. But if you follow me on FB/Twitter/instagram, then you should be pretty up to date. If you don’t know (which even if you did follow me, you probably ignore me), I have a new party in San Francisco on Wednesday nights in the city called CRUSH. I’m not a resident DJ there, but more of a curator… Every week, I feature a man and a woman DJ… I do DJ from time to time, only because there aren’t an abundance of female Djs… and not to mention there aren’t an abundance of Female Djs working full time as a DJ. But anyway, I VOW to bring hotness and good music to this event. My other goal is to use this as a hub for Bay Djs to network with other Djs they may or may not have worked with before. The event is at John Colin’s, which is a lovely venue in the heart of the SOMA. All I ask from the party-goers is to have an open mind and TRUST your Djs…
Peep the event here:

Reggie Watts - “Feel The Same”
So Pandora Radio actually came through and actually served me a track i never heard and REALLY wanted. Came across Reggie Watts in a previous lifetime somehow… Long story short, I searched all over the place for this track (which I think has only been released to the UK). zero luck Amazon/iTunes/Mediashare/Youtube… etc. So I ordered the CD from amazon.uk paid dough for shipping just for one track. I hope you like it.
Enjoy.

Made this blend for my son who instructed me through the process. He wanted me to make it for his dance crew at school. With the unfortunate death of M-Bone from Cali Swag District yesterday, I decided to post it. You’re a Jerk + Teach Me How to Dougie Blend - Umami
