I made these 2 tracks for my recent Red Bull THRE3STYLE competition.  Time to share my toys.

It’s that time again.  Red Bull is holding the regional qualifiers for their annual THRE3STYLE international DJ battle.  If you’re not familiar, it’s a battle where DJs perform a 15-minute set consisting of at least 3 genres of music.  It’s a great concept and it really brings out some super creative talent from around the world.  For more info check out the THRE3STYLE site or watch my video below from 2011.  I’ll be battling against 7 of Portland’s top DJs to move on to the next round in San Francisco.  If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come support me and the event!

Sorry it took me a second to get this up, I’ve been hella busy and didn’t find the pics until right meow. 

New Year’s Eve was out of control!

Crown Room opened the doors at 9 and were packed to the brim by 10.  There was a line around the entire building of people that didn’t buy the presale tickets all night long.  The Love Loungers set the mood and when I went on at 11 people were dancing like maniacs.  It was a great vibe all night and probably the most fun I’ve had DJing for NYE yet.  Enough about all that, check the pics…

I love my photographer, Laura Petrilla.  She has a great eye, is wicked fun to work with and always brings the best out of me in our shoots, despite me constantly making my “I’m trying not to smile but it looks like I want to kill you face”.  We recently shot my 2012 press photos and they came out great.  Shout out to Sam and Martina at BITE for the cool backgrounds.  Laura even wrote up a little blurb on her site about the shoot.  Check it out her write-up here. ..

Kanye wouldn’t send me the acapella and James Brown already died so I had to make due with what I had…

You’re probably looking for somewhere to celebrate New Year’s Eve that isn’t full of douchebags…  You probably want to hear some good music, eat some good food, get your drink on and not spend an arm and a leg doing it.  Lucky for you I have just the party…
