THE SHAKEDOWN

Last Saturday was another edition of The Bridge, at Rehab.  Since it was DJ Hapa’s 30th birthday, we had a whole weekend of festivities goin on.  Instead of just DJing on the rooftop of Hotel Erwin, we actually stayed there.  Those are cool ass rooms!  Pictures soon.  Hapa set up a limo to go from the hotel to Rehab… and let’s just say… too many WOO GIRLS in a limo is NOT a good look.  Sorry you had to sit through that Cygnet.

Anyways… We got to the party and I dropped the opening set.  As I mentioned previously, it was a dope line up to be a part of.  I really wish I could remember more of the night, but the open vodka bar for the first two hours kicked my ass.  Good thing I recorded my set, and good thing the vodka didn’t hit me til the later part of my set.

I was in a Hiphop mood.  I haven’t been playing too much good Hiphop, so I took this as my chance to do that.  So if you’re lookin for some good Hiphop, or just wanna see what you missed out on… Click on the picture to download the mix!!

DJ SHAKEE live from The Bridge

I just got home from doing a set on Rehab Radio. Its put on by the staff of Scratch DJ Academy Los Angeles. Honest to say… this is dope crew of DJs to be associated with. There’s a lot of talent going on there. Anyways… I went in tonight not really knowing what to play. Just kinda made up a lot of it along the way (along with some suggestions from Cygnet). Playing in a room full of DJs, is the hardest crowd to play for… but it seems like everyone enjoyed it. I’ll take that compliment any day. Here’s the set for when you’re bored at work. Kid Fish is on the first half. I come on somewhere in the 1 hour mark of the show.

This is a dope line up to be a part of.  I’ve got the opening set, so try to make it out early.  I promise, its a party as soon as the doors open!!  See you there!!

I’m supposed to be working, but then I realized that I haven’t seen the last two episodes of Entourage. Problem is… we’ve cancelled our HBO. So I’m searching online to find an episode. I found this promo instead.

This last 4th of July weekend, I was back on the air with JAM’N 94.5 in Boston.  Shout out to the homie DJ Pup Dawg for putting me on.  Radio format isn’t really my forte, but I think I made it work.  If you missed it, here it is for download.

I guess I’m a dork, cause I still get pretty geeked when I think about some of these things I get to DJ.  I was kinda geeked to see my name on the web player, and the I Heard Radio App on the iPhone.

I literally came across this just now.  Its downloading as I type this.  You should probably go download it too.  Cause really?  You’re worried?  I’m not.  I’m pretty sure its gonna be a pretty damn good mix.  just click on the picture:

free mixes for download at the bottom of the post.

Here’s the line up for the weekend:

1. -Highh Lounge (Hotel Erwin, Venice Beach) – Saturday July 3rd, 2010 – 3pm-7pm
2. -JAMN 94.5 – Boston, MA – Time: TBA

I’ve mentioned it plenty of times… High Lounge on the rooftop of Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach, CA. I get to play an eclectic blend of music.  Everything from Hiphop, R&B, Old School, Soul, Rock, Classic Rock, Dance, Electro, Reggae, Salsa, Samba, Bossa Nova, Jazz, and even a sprinkle of Radio/Top 40.  I’ll be there Saturdays, sometime between 3pm and 11pm.  This weekend, I’ll be there from 3-7pm.  Again, at the bottom of the post there’s some mixes you can download.  It was recorded live from here a few weeks ago.

Also later this weekend, tune into JAM’N 94.5.  Soon as I have an exact time, I’ll let you all know.  Shout out once again to the homie Pup Dawg for putting me on.

and now… the reason you clicked on this to begin with… Free Music.  It was recorded live from Hotel Erwin on the 19th.  One of the days where we couldn’t use the monitor, so this is all “in the headphones” mixing.  I broke it down by the hour, so if you load it into your iTunes or iPod, and set your gaps to 0, it should play seamless.  Had to throw in a bunch of random drops, cause I can’t give you 4 hours of music and not tell you who put it together.  Enough reading for you?  Fine… go ahead and download here:

• High – June 19 2010 part 1
• High – June 19 2010 part 2

Come by.. I’ll be DJing here.

I’m bout to head out, but waiting on the homie Cisco to scoop me up.  Just running through random blogs on the internet, and came across a Dolly Parton track that’s pretty damn funky!  Check this out…

I’ve been workin with The Scratch Academy LA/Rehab Projects for the last few months.  High Lounge is our new spot for the summer.  It’s on the roof of Hotel Erwin in Venice.  We’ll have someone there Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.  I got to open this up for all of us last Saturday, and I get the honor of being the first one to come back and rock it again. Its an amazing view of LA!!  Venice beach behind the DJ, and  on a clear day, you can see all the way into downtown. Come hang out with me!!  I promise you some good music, a variety of music, your favorite tracks, some classics, some new stuff, some stuff you haven’t heard in a while, some stuff you’ve never heard at all, some stuff you can sing along to, pretty much music across the whole board.  Hope to see you there!!!
