Chez Damier at SoundTable and Joe Claussell at Tambor Party

This weekend, Atlanta was in for a treat. On Friday night, Kai Alce brought down his mentor, Chez Damier to the SoundTable. I am usually a bit hesitant about the some of the Detroit sound. However, Chez blended it perfectly. Had me dancing all night.

I will say this though: Kai's set was the BEST set I have heard from him. Made me a bit emotional because you could tell he picked out every song and vibed along with the crowd. From beginning to end. I give big ups and much Love to him. Made a sista smile from ear to ear.

If you missed this, you MIGHT wanna save some dollars and head up to Detroit Memorial Day weekend for Movement Electronic Music Festival. Now for the pictures:

On Saturday, Atlanta was ready. Hell, we already had the baby powder and shoes ready for Joe Claussell. Words cannot explain the high I had. If you were there and CLAIMED to be a house head and not dancing, I am gonna need for you to retire. The emotion he gives through movement and music made my heart sing. Big ups to Yoli Chisholm for rolling through. That is a TRUE House head. Much Love mama!



We also had the honor of hearing Miranda Nicole saaaaang! For those that do not know whom she is, her track has been rotation for a while and was JUST released. Ian Friday has had it hot and heavy in his arsenal. I have been hearing for a while now and I always wondered who it is. Go COP 'Kissing You' on Traxsource!!!! Congrats darling! Atlanta is setting it up and throwing it down when it comes to the scene. Now for pictures:

It is safe to say that I have not danced like that since WMC. Thank You Joe Claussell, Chez Damier, Stan Zeff, Brian Edward and all of those out there who are in the name of HOUSE.

Much Love.

Countdown ATLANTA!!!

DJ Ausar (Cali, Atlanta)

I took a different approach and decided to have ALL eyes on the person I am interviewing. Big ups to the Kalakuta show with DJ Ausar on WRFG 89.3. Let's go!

deephouseATL. interviews Carlos Mena (Ocha Records/Yoruba Records)

Such an honor interviewing this gentleman. Always show Love whenever he rolls through Atlanta or when I see him. Tell the lady I said what's up! My good friend, Carlos Mena.

P.S.- When you gonna bust out some Soca again?! Juust asking. Love.

DJ Sabine and A Lady Named Pearl

It is amazing to see women in the movement. I had the chance of catching DJ Sabine spin at Brooklyn Mecca during the Winter Music Conference and A Lady Named Pearl during Afrique Electrique (ATL REPRESENT!). Phenomenal indeed!

Check out the interview here:

Winter Music Conference 2011

This conference OFFICIALLY blew me away. The amount of energy that was received amongst all who attended is nothing but extraordinary. I am still going through footage and interviews. They will be up next week. I have to put a few pictures up of the amazing individuals I met while down there:

My favorite events of WMC are: Brooklyn Mecca with Ian Friday and DJ Sabine, Afrique Electrique (Big ups ATL for shutting it down) with Salah Ananse, Dave K, Kemit, Daz-I-Kue, Wasabi and so many others. Of course the TRIBE Party with Ian Friday, Zepherin Saint, Carlos Mena, DJ Spinna and Kristelle Morin. The South African Miami Invasion Party shut it down. I lost my damn voice and had to end up using a whistle for the rest of the event. Culoe De Song, FeU, DJ Fresh, Nick Holder and Black Coffee all deserve big ups. The performances from: Q, Roland Clark, Chappell, Zakes Bantwini, Bucie, Vikter Duplaix and so many others really made my trip worth it.

Next year will be on point as well. Atlanta represented well and showed everyone that we can do it like anyone else can. Until then my fellow House heads...

Mark de-Clive Lowe and Tambor Party with Timmy Regisford (Shelter, NYC)

OPEN DISCLAIMER: When people are dancing, do NOT interrupt them! I do not understand why people do that. If you are NOT dancing, do not break the groove for someone else. Wait until the person has finished and then approach them. Better yet, wait until you see them at another function to converse with them. I HAD to address this once again.


The End of January and February have been brewing some hotness for the Atlanta House Scene.

Mark de-Clive Lowe made a stop through ATL real quick. Always a pleasure seeing him play a broken beat/house/soulful set. Bugz in the Attic's own, Daz-I-Kue warmed up the floor JUST right. Yes, it was last minute. However, it was so worth it! Big ups!


Quick pictures:

Let me just state this for the record: We are ALL one. No division when it comes to the sound of TRUE house music. That is EXACTLY what I felt Saturday night. Still on a high. That speaker was done with because of the energy beaming.

It was packed like damn sardines. Glad I got in early, broke it in and did the damn thing on the dancefloor. I only left for about ten minutes and then came back. Timmy was supposed to come last year and unfortunately it fell through. He did not disappoint and I cannot wait to see him and Joe Claussell at the WMC Shelter Party. Get your tickets. I can only hope that I am able to walk after that event. The energy is gonna be through the roof! Timmy did his thing and it was good to see some familiar faces and meet some new house heads from out of town. Big ups to Brigette, who came ALL the way from Toronto!

Atlanta is no joke right now when it comes to the scene. We know what's up! Now to some pics:

Big ups to again to all who came together for this event in the name of HOUSE! I cannot wait for WMC!!! ATL: Carlos Mena tonight @ SoundTable! See you all there and much Love.
