3rd Annual celebration in honor of the mutherfuckin D-R-E, and it’s going down Saturday FEB 18 at the M-Room in Fishtown. Shoutout to Minneapolis’ favorite sons Mike 2600 and Wes from Burlesque of North America for the Dre Day party concept, which turns 10 this year.
I put together a little party break to drop on Saturday and you can listen to it and download it below. Come holler at a super ill g-funk party!
DJs ED BLAMMO, LOW BUDGET, ROMES and yours truly will be on the wheels putting down every classic anthem from the Doctor from ’82-2012, and Buddy Leezle a.k.a Eazy L.E.Z will be regulating on the mic.
Not only that, but the first 40 people in the door get a free COLT 45 40oz, and Colt cans will be cheap and cold at the bar all night.
The ANMLHSE loc’s will be manning the Chronic Album Cover photo booth (see it to believe it), our homies the Decades Hat Co will be releasing their brand new Compton Snapback with a west coast lowrider soul mix from Lowbeezy, and its Ed Blammo’s birthday!
its a mutherfuckin Dre Day…and everybody’s celebrating!

Been working hard on the podcast over at Young Robots. This episode, I interview 18 year old moombahton producer Jay Fay about his upcoming “Bonkers” EP on Young Robots. Jay explains how drumming and the city of St. Louis influenced his unique and percussive style and Jay blesses us with a mix. We also reveal which Fools Gold records star was once Skinny Friedman’s landlord.
Follow the podcast at one of the following locations:
Every few years I throw down on some ribs for the Super Bowl, and this year, I made 7 racks (on racks on racks) to feed some hungry folks. Shoutouts to Tony Rodgers for the home-made sauce.

This Friday, I am very proud to present to the world the Philly International Records 40th Anniversary Re-Edits and Remixes compilation. It’s a comp available only in Europe, part of a series of 14 CDs of retrospective and new material from one of Philly’s great cultural institutions.
I have a remix of one of my favorite songs of all time, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes’ “Wake Up Everybody” on this comp, and it is a top 10 selling R&B record on Amazon UK. Harmless Records, BBC and Philly International were great to ask me to participate in this project and I’m very glad that as the only participant in the remix project from Philadelphia, I have the privilege of presenting it to you. This is the only place in North America you can get this CD (provided all the international shipping comes in on time!).
Furthermore, I am so pleased that we have Del, a great DJ and a great lover of Philly Disco with us to guest, and this also marks the grand debut of the newest resident at The Ball, DJ BRUCE!! We’re gonna show you why disco and house music are the best to sweat to!
There is gonna be complimentary PBR, and yes, KFN has their liquor license issues resolved and is full operational!!
