Hyper Crush, Chew Fu, Black Noise, Foamo
It’s been a tough couple of weeks! Again it looks like I’ve been AWOL from the blog, but I’ve been completely preoccupied. Not only have I been working on the Lolla Remix Throwdown and finishing up some new written pieces, including one with Jen Lasher, but the new website is almost done and will probably [...]
Bloody Beetroots vs. Afrojack, Jon Kennedy vs. David Guetta, DJ Kue vs. Kaskade
The Lolla Remix Throwdown is in full swing and it’s awesome to see so many dsquared contributors in there! PeaceTreaty, The 2000, Glasnost, The Sonixx, Dan Sena, Mr. Vega, Kids At The Bar, Religion, GMGN, DJ Kue, Midnight Conspiracy and way more all all in the running! Remember producers, a portion of semi-finalists are decided [...]
The Lolla Remix Throwdown Has Arrived!!
The Lolla Remix Throwdown, Lollapalooza’s official remix contest, is finally here! For those of you who don’t know, I was hired to direct this year’s contest and have been working non-stop over the past month to get everything up and running. For real, you have no idea how much work goes into a contest until [...]
Paul Anthony & ZXX vs. Ludacris, Shameboy vs. Kelis, Tony Oh vs. Duotone
I was supposed to play in Guatemala today, leaving at 7:20 this morning, only to find out that the international airport in Guatemala City was closed due to a volcanic eruption. I called the owner of the club and he told me that much of the city was covered in ash and sand. He was [...]
Chew Fu Mania, Glasnost, Riva Starr and Risk One
Another week of massive submissions. I have to break it up a bit as I’m already above two dozen for tracks I want to post… The more time goes on with dsquared, the more submissions I get that are right up my alley and at a higher bitrate. Just a warning – I’m going to [...]
Kaskade vs. Matt Sayers, Afrojack vs. PeaceTreaty, Kavinsky vs. Studio Brussels
It’s been a while, hasn’t it :-) I’m back in town – was in Milwaukee and Baltimore over the weekend – and have been furiously working on the Lollapalooza remix contest among handling even more bookings plus some work for the Satellite Records relaunch. All that = busy! The weekend was amazing though. Friday I [...]
Morgan Page vs. Only Children, Calvin Harris vs. Digital Freak, Yeasayer vs. DJ Beebs + more
Man…what a week. I’ve been working so hard between the Lollapalooza contest, some of the work I’m doing with Satellite Records, my writing plus all the stuff I have to do for my DJing…and of course, the blog! I’m a little sleepy right now, not gonna lie. Totally looking forward to this weekend as a [...]
Review: Green Velvet’s B-Day Party w/Basement Jaxx & Mark Farina
It’s been a minute since I’ve posted up some articles that I’ve written! URB has been partnering up with China Shop, Red Bull’s online magazine, so I’ve just started doing some pieces for them. This one is a review on one of the best parties I went to in a long time – Green Velvet’s [...]
LOLLAPALOOZA REMIX CONTEST
I have NEWS! Earlier this week I was asked to head up Lollapalooza’s annual remix contest. Yes, I accepted. This means that I’ll be doing everything from creating the rules and structure to selecting the songs to be remixed to marketing the contest and executing all the events related to it, including the live finals. [...]
Crystal Castles vs. Midnight Conspiracy, Audio Bullys vs. Reset! + more
More new pictures! I had my catsuit photo shoot the other day at Debonair Social Club and believe me, posing in a skintight latex bodysuit in six inch heels on a tiny speaker cube is NOT EASY. The one above is just a teaser and I will have the rest from the photographer within a [...]
CLOSED HEY CHICAGO – Win Tickets to Cinco de Mondo!
If you’re in Chicago, and you’re free on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) at 7pm then there is no reason why you should not jockey to win these tickets for Cinco de Mondo at the Congress Theatre. Straight from the site:
Cinco de Mondo is a Mexican holiday feast of vaudevillian-style entertainment, featuring a variety show [...]
Legendary Satellite Records Relaunching!
So there’s been a reason why my label, Calamity Jane, has been quiet as of late. My partner in the label, Scott Richmond, has been busy with a huge undertaking – relaunching Satellite Records for the end of May. If any of you were buying vinyl even as recently as five years ago, you probably [...]
Rico Tubbs, Mike Posner, Hyper Crush, The XX
How awful of me to post teasers of the tracks I was screening for dsquared last week and then not post until now! I hate being a broken record when I keep apologizing for my periods of inconsistency, but truthfully…I’ve been playing a lot of fing amazing parties, am working on solidifying a new bi-monthly, [...]
The Announcement
Today I finally get to announce it – I’m playing Lollapalooza 2010!
I played in 2008 and it’s an honor to be asked to play a second time! Last night was the official lineup announcement party at Debonair Social Club and to say it was insane would be putting it mildly. By the time I went [...]
TONIGHT – The Official Lollapalooza Lineup Announcement Party @ Rehab!

TADT, The Aston Shuffle, DJ Kue, Plus FREAKING REHAB MONDAY
Wooo these submissions are running me ragged lately! You guys know I’d like to post more, but each post I do takes between 90-120 minutes…I get about 100 submissions every three days now and I listen to all of them, narrow it down, upload it and then of course, try to write a couple sentences [...]
New Mix For Ghetto House Radio!
My brand new mix for Ghetto House Radio aired Friday night and is now available on my podcast! If you don’t know Ghetto House Radio, it’s a two hour weekly program that airs on eleven stations from California to Hawaii. They feature mixes by the likes of Richard Vission, Andy Caldwell and Morgan Page, and [...]
Smalltown DJs, Blende, Hyper Crush, DuoTone
Allright! As you can imagine, WMC got in the way of putting a post up last week. It was amazing – got to see old buddies like LA Riots and Donald Glaude, meet new people like Jen Lasher and Frankie Bones and play an amazing packed rooftop pool party! There were definitely a few misses [...]
Chew Fu, Buffetlibre, Frankmusik, Vindata
I’ve been getting over being sick the past week or so – been so busy with gigs it finally caught up with me. Doesn’t help that this week I’m DJing Tuesday through Saturday and then next week is Winter Music Conference. Trying desperately to get better before then…I may not be able to follow the [...]
Monster Squad, Don Diablo, The Toxic Avenger
Spring is in the air – we now have more sunlight and people are definitely starting to go out again :-) That being said, if you’re in Chicago watch dsquared for ticket giveaways for some amazing events coming up and also watch for some new hot parties I’ll be doing at Social 25 (the monthly [...]
