Earlier this year, my good friends Richard and Asher officially released their single “Love Burn” on Hervé‘s record label Cheap Thrills. The release went over well and was even supported with solid remixes by both Mighty Mouse and Max Morrell. Since both the remixes were more on the House & bass heavy side of dance music, I wanted to try to turn “Love Burn” into a dubbed out Disco-Rock tune.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been inspired by the Disco producer Gino Soccio and definitely tried to incorporate a lot of his techniques into this remix. Considering it’s the first Dub remix I’ve ever produced, I wanted to come at it with an old school mentality which could give it that organic sound I love. I hope you enjoy it!
It’s almost been two years since I released Carded & DisCarded. Although that is a very long time period, I do feel that it’s safe to say both my style of DJing and taste in music have developed since then. I don’t mean to discredit Carded & DisCarded at all, by any means, but over this time I have had the chance to explore new concepts and styles of mixing that I discovered to be more beneficial when incorporated into my DJ sets. With these changes occurring over he past two years, I’ve come up with an idea that has finally taken form – I’m happy to announce my new bimonthly mix series; Palette.
The concept behind the series is that for the next 6 months, I will hand pick and craft a mix for your listening pleasure. I decided to kick off the Palette series with a program of songs that all mean a lot to me. Not to mention, I also decided to throw in a few of my favorite transitions that I’ve enjoyed playing live at most of my shows over the past couple of months. I may not be able to promise that you’ll enjoy every mix in the series, but I can promise that I’ll work hard to make it interesting for you all.
I really hope you all enjoy this months mix and look forward to Palette Two in early April!

Wilson from Boy Kings recently invited both Black Holes and I to join him in hosting an episode of BKTV with up and coming, Chicago-based dance act Gemini Club. For those of you who may not be familiar with Gemini Club, I highly recommend keeping them on your radar because these guys have potential to dominate the dance scene. Not only does the trio have the talent to compose catchy, electro pop tunes, but they also have the live show to back it up, which, in my opinion, is very important.
I’ve had the chance of working with Boy Kings before on previous BKTV’s and I’m going to go out and say that this newest episode featuring the act is the best that’s yet to come. I mean, you get to witness the genuine expression on Black Holes’ face as he pops his first bottle of champagne! It really doesn’t get much better than that. I have the pleasure of sharing the stage with Gemini Club this Saturday as we both support DFA heavy hitters Hercules & Love Affair at The Abbey Pub, so be sure to catch their set!
