UPDATE:
I recorded a rough practice mix in preparation for the party (trying to test out a few things).

The mix is divided into two parts (an hour each). You can get them here:

Part One

Part Two

*******************************************

This year, I’m inviting some good friends of mine (who also happen to be some of the most talented DJs in Texas) to help me throw a party for my birthday. Instead of doing a typical party where it’s all about the birthday boy, I’m using this as an opportunity to throw a fundraiser for something that’s very near and dear to my heart, National Public Radio (aka NPR) or more specifically, KUT (the Austin public radio station). It’s an opportunity for me to give back to something I truly can’t imagine living without.

Chicken George (Peddlin’ Jazztronica) and Secondliner (Soul Happening / Breakaway Records) are going to join me as we play the finest vinyl grooves; bringing you the best deep cuts, alongside undeniable classics. Top quality all night, like we always do.

I wanted the party to have a beach theme, but not in a cheesy “beach ball, tropical shirt” way so I decided on a good compromise. The theme of the party is to dress in white (sort of like P. Diddy’s Hamptons party, but without all the lame, bling crap) so…

*** WHITE ATTIRE IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!!!***

If you need pointers, this is perfectly acceptable

ALL VINYL • ALL NIGHT • ECLECTIC STYLES GALORE

Party goes down: May 18th at Loft 718 (above Silhouette Sushi) on Congress Avenue. 21 and over please. Doors open at 10pm.

There is no cover charge and donations are voluntary, but I hope we can raise a good chunk of change for a great organization and make it a night to remember!

Tell Five Friends!!!

And one more thing –  in case you don’t get the reference of the flier (and are wondering why there’s red paint on these artists’ faces), it’s a reference to one of my favorite albums. click here to see for yourself.

SIDENOTE: “ROCKSTEADY” (named after the famous Aretha Franklin song) was the name of the party thrown by Starsign and Secondliner, back in 2000. It was Starsign’s idea to resurrect the name in honor of this special occassion.
