Last month I got to compete for the 3rd time in Red Bull’s annual international DJ battle, THRE3STYLE.  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 from 2011.


There was some serious competition this year and it was great to see sets from Portland’s best, most of which I haven’t had the chance to see live yet.  In the end, I brought home the silver, but I had a great time doing it.  Thanks to Red Bull for putting on a great event, everyone that competed, all the fans in attendance and Aaron Rogosin and Matthew Kort for the photos.

On January 19th 2012, 7 Springs Resort opened a new snowboard terrain park like no other park on Earth.  “The Streets” is an urban terrain park modeled after downtown Pittsburgh.  I’ve DJ’d a ton of snowboard and skateboard events and I’ve seen some crazy parks but this park blew my mind.  Just check the pictures below and watch a great video here…


Shout out to Joel and the park crew for building great parks and knowing how to throw a party.  (If you watch the video on the news site below, you may see someone you know.)

The homie Thomas at Jenesis Magazine asked me to drop some knowledge about the Top 5 Mistakes I see DJs making these days.  To be honest, it was hard to narrow it down to 5.  If you read this and see yourself in here, hopefully you make some changes.  You can peep the full issue here and you should check Jenesis on the regular anyways. The game foul so here’s a free throw…
