After some undetermined hiatus, Lev is back in action with Tales of Mere Existence. I think he’s hilarious, but, there’s no accounting for taste, eh? In any case, Lev continues to explore everyone’s favorite topic

Smooth. Very, very smooth

We’re staying with the down tempo/deep house/lounge vein with tracks from Blue Six’s Beautiful Tomorrow and Aquarian Angel albums. Blue Six is Jay Denes, who with a couple of partners owns and operates Naked Music NYC. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:

Naked Music is a dance music record label, centered in San Francisco and New York City. It is known for smooth signature deep house and downtempo. It began life as a production company in New York, in 1992, when founders Dave Boonshoft and Jay Denes scored underground success with releases on indies such as Francois Kevorkian’s Wave Music, and UK’s XL Recordings. A string of high profile remixes followed with artists as diverse as Sade, Kelis, Maxwell and Britney Spears. Blue Six is the alias of producer Jay Denes, whose debut album, Beautiful Tomorrow, delivered a mix of deep house, soulful pop, and smooth jazz. In 1998 the production company became a true record label.

Check out the Aquarian Angel website too. This is about as “indie” as indie gets. If you like this stuff, buy it so they can make more of it.

Rangs and thangs…

Big news.

Very big news…

Rowdeezy’s gettin’ hitched! Long time Super Tuesday partyers (bofem) may recall Row was our first Mixalot, slinging all kinds of crazy cocktails, from the sublime to, well… the not-so-sublime. But we learned something: there is no cocktail so bad that somebody doesn’t just love it! Row’s been crazy busy getting everything organized, I’m sure they’ll swoop through for a visit once the dust settles and the smokes clears!

The last Super Tuesday found a whole roster of new faces, including Mallory, Deanna, Ahang, Nicholas, Amy, Angela, Bonnie, Courtney, Scott and Chloe. Based on experience, we’ll see about 1/2 of these folks at least one folks sometime in the next year. Looking forward to it.

Speaking of the last Super Tuesday… the Bay Bridge fell apart early that evening, blocking traffic up for miles. So we lost the East Bay contingent: Mixalot, Scott and Jolene, Dav and Derek didn’t make it. All had to turn around. Bummer. We missed them. They missed us! And we had DJ NativeState spinning. We’ll try to get him spinning more than once a year. He’s got the Super Tuesday vibe nailed.

Sean is blasting out fine art woodblock prints. He’s currently finished with 46 of 101 original and unique woodblocks. These are very cool, and he’s letting a few of them go for more or less postage. I have #1. Ask if you’re interested in owning one of these.

Niels Hoven is back in San Fran, lately from Seattle. It was nice to see him.

Sarah K is in Costa Rica, surfing in warm balmy water and scoping out the scene for a new venture. That’s her story to tell, she won’t be back until December.

Mumtaz is back in Dubai, work work work!

A bunch of us went to see alum Ismael Rodriguez open for John Fleming at 1015 a couple of weeks ago. Ish is good. He could tour. He should tour. He spins a highly danceable mix of deep house, electro and trance.
