The trip to New York was no different than any of my other trips there….simply magical. The opportunity catch up, build, and make new friends was a tremendous blessing. In this era of social networking, and thumb based communication there is nothing like sitting in front of someone sharing ideas, food, and laughter. With the mighty Jus-Ed as my host little could go wrong as I was exposed to some of Connecticut’s most beautiful landscapes. To wrap up the weekend at the helm of one NYC’s most fabled Sound-System’s was an experience not soon to be forgotten. Respect to Jus-Ed, Anthony Parasole, Fred P., DJ Qu, Levon Vincent, Joey, Ian Rock, Lola & Spider, and all those who came out. I appreciate all the conversations as it was truly time well spent. Until next time…
Love | Respect | Power
Head out to New York tomorrow for the weekend. Very excited about returning to New York as it is the Creative Capital of the US. So many talented folks in such a dense space.

How an East Oakland native creates space for techno.
By Zoneil Maharaj
As head of the innovative Oakland-based label Deepblak Recordings, producer Armon Bazile always has his eyes wide open to the pulse of emerging music in the Bay Area. “The musical underground railroad is rumbling,” he said. “There’s some brilliant stuff going on, especially here in Oakland. A lot of people are taking chances again.” But for Bazile (aka Aybee), it’s been an uphill battle without armor. Read Full Article >>
This is kind of new in human history. Up until a hundred years ago – or even less – music was something we did together as a community activity. Live performance was the only music there was. People interacted with each other. I’d like to see that aspect of music flourish in the future. I’m not knocking recorded music, but if listening to music is going to be an increasingly lonely activity, with ourselves and unto ourselves, we’re going to miss something very important about being human: the ability to get together and do something as a community in real time.
– Bob Moog
I remember when I heard Bob Moog say this. It came at the end of his 2003 (Cape Town) Red Bull Music Academy lecture. I sat for a few minutes with tears in my eyes because I felt profoundly what he was saying. To call Bob Moog a Legend is cliche and cheap . Cheap as the scent of perfume in chinese brothel…
Bob Moog was was an Architect of Dreams.
He was an Architect who enabled thousands, and touched millions. The pure Joy that musicians have brought to the world via his instrument is un-measurable. As I sit hear re-visiting his 2003 Red Mull Lecture I am still moved. It is even more powerful after his passing in 2005. I hope you take the time to listen to him, and hear his story. Appreciate the Agents of wisdom available to us…
