Posted by j matthews in Events on March 8, 2012
What up? Only several days away and I am already giddy about getting down and seeing some of the best DJs and Producers on the ones and twos. Coming up March 16th-25th is the 2012 edition of the Winter Music Conference in Miami, FL USA.
And whats going down? A shit ton, but what I am most excited about is that this is my first year visiting AND playing! So if you are down there and want to come say hi, this is what you do:
Go to this on Tuesday, the 20th at the Clevelander Hotel. I’ll be playing along side the greats such as DJ Mes, Kinky Movement, Corduroy Mavericks and many more!

Great Weekend!
Posted by j matthews in Events on November 7, 2011
I have to say, last weekend was probably one of the greatest weekends for House Music lovin IMO. Of course I am biased because I DJed two of the bigger events in the cities. I guess what I mean though is that being a part of these two events (even if I opened both of them) help build stronger my bond with House Music.
House music for the WIN this weekend for sure.
Friday Night “House Proud V.3″ at Honey:
Below is most of my opening set at Honey Lounge in Minneapolis, MN. Live recording with instrumentals by Chuck Love (honored!). There were 2 people on the dance floor at 10pm. buy 11:30 I would say close to 200 people were in this small club and groovin’ to the music. Both Brownie and Bryan Gerrard (Celebrity Records) played and god only knows how packed it got (I had to bolt a little early to survive).
Saturday Night HotDish “Throwback III – GLow Party” at First Avenue:
Saturday night was the long running HotDish party at First Avenue Nightclub in Minneapolis, MN. Holy crap was that a party too! I was a little nervous, cause this is the show that me and Nate Laurence are responsible, and after Friday night, I was a little worried that people wouldn’t come out because they were recouping from the House Proud show.
Boy was I wrong. This was an insanely fun party as you can tell from the picture below. It was indeed one of the best nights ever for HotDish. All the great costumes and outfits. One girl was glowing so bright from the black lights, she was burning my retinas (Ehem, Holly).
Natas, the second DJ that played that night threw down some classic tracks that I totally forgot about that still control the dance floor. Our closer and one of the best known DJs in Minneapolis and surrounding, E Tones, was an absolute GEM on the decks. When he comes through, just expect your body to be controlled for his entire set. Both were such a pleasure to have in and HotDish cant thank them enough.
One huge element that was missing though was Nate Laurence. Unfortunately he couldnt make it to this show. I felt really bad about him missing this. Plus he was so instrumental in making this happen too.
Maybe later I will update this post with my mix from that show (it was recorded live also). But for now, if you stare at the pic long enough, you will get an idea of how dope that was. To all that came out and partied, huge thank you. The vibe in there was incredible.

Facebook, You Suck

Hey Facebook, I hope you are reading this.
Today my account has been disabled because they think that I am a “Fake Profile”. Really Facebook? Ive been using that account for 4-5 years and you NOW think that I am fake? Well, I hope we can get this situated because I am very real and I dont understand why you turned on me.
If its because I am a performer and that I am inviting my friends to events, then good god, about 75% of the people I am friends with on FB should also be disabled.
You suck and you know it.
Ok, now that I have vented. If you are reading this, I hope to be back on FB fairly soon. So hang tight.
BTW, go check out my Funk Yeah! FM site. I have a local guest that I am really excited about. Its going to be live and he is way better than facebook.

Promo Mix for the upcoming Funk Yeah! FM radio show
Posted by j matthews in Mixes on August 14, 2010
LOL.
So I had an itch that I scratched earlier. To help with promoting the Funk Yeah! FM radio show and to play some of the new house music tracks that I got recently, I decided to make this mix.
There is some really good shit out there lately. I have to say that some of the producers on this mix are in TOP FORM.
So, enjoy… I voice over a little bit, just to talk about the upcoming show, but otherwise, pretty solid/slammin mix.

Funk Yeah! FM
Posted by j matthews in Events, News on August 13, 2010
Sept 29th, 2010 I am going to be starting a monthly online radio show that I am super stoked about called Funk Yeah! FM. I have the privilege of being a part of Chicago House FM, created by DJ Camouflage. Check out the news about it here: Funk Yeah! FM.
I’m a little geeked out about it right now and I am still a few weeks away. Its going to be a live broadcast (cross fingers it doesnt crash or I have tech difficulties) and will feature some of the best producers and DJs in the underground house scene. Oh, and also its focused on funky and jackin house music, from Chicago, of course.
Check it out yo! It airs 7 pm cst (12 gmt) Sunday, Sept 29.
Fresh Start
Posted by j matthews in News on August 13, 2010
Instead of chasing the summer storms, I decided today that I would start working on my website. Because if you have been here before, it was very outdated, and needed to be redone. So, as you will see, there have been changes made and hopefully doing so will help me with providing more up to date content for you. So feel free to browse around and have some fun. There are mixes, links, and other bullshit.
Enjoy!
