Showcase Live

Had a great time at Showcase live playing with Timbaland and Sebastian. The party was a celebration for Sebastian's birthday and was just sick. Showcase Live is an amazing venue with 50ft projection screen as well as multiple projectors and screens. The tech crew there were the fastest and most professional crew I have come across in the US so far. We did the show hang about with our good friend Kev Mitchell then went back to the hotel and talked them into letting us use the pool till the early hours.

Geoff flew up to St Andrews last weekend to play, said the show was sick. Then last night I played supportingLotus at the Mecury Lounge, party was great fun, audience was great. Tonight I am playing at Happy Corp for the lunch of Paul Pope's new DKNY clothing line. Been hanging out with Paul quite a bit recently, check out his sick Kid Robot action piece.

Adam Matters

So... did the Intermix Party for the opening of Fashion Week, tried out some new videos then retreated into production mode. Been recently working a lot with Dark Igloo who are working on new Eclectic Method designs and projects with us. One of those projects last week was filming the excellent beatboxer Adam Matta , check his video entertaining the wildlife:::

U-God from Wu-Tang dropped by my place and the video is now up on the new Crossfader site of his visit. Tomorrow night there is an Eclectic Method jam with Kotchy at the Lucky Cat in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I will be playing DVJs and CDJs through the SVM and Kotchy is playing an electronic drum kit, samplers and vocals. He'll be dropping a few tracks off his new album and i'll be doing a DVJ set as well.
Then Sunday I am off to Foxboro Massachusetts to do a gig with Timbaland, no jokes. Next week Wednesday Eclectic Method is supporting the band Lotus at the Mercury Lounge in NYC.

Inner Party System

Check out this excellent audio & video remix we did for Inner Party System:::

The remix is a sick (literally) media overloaded onslaught of a mix. The Inner Party System guys asked us to go ahead go nuts go ape-sh*t.... so we did. They liked it so much it's coming out as an audio only mix for djs next month as well. Also Mediatronica built a online video remix sampler out of the video samples and riffs we used to construct the mix and you can play/jam jam with that yourself here....

U-God

Yesterday U-God of the Wu Tang Clan came to my place with my mate Darek to film an interview about Eclectic Method for the brand new crossfader site. The crossfader site is being relaunched and luckily they took down my last videos in which I mastered the art of looking like a twazuk on camera. U-God was great and well into it, my favourite quote of the day being, "This blew my motherfucking head off!! I've never seen nothing like this... this is some NEW SHIT!!! Kids is gonna love this..." He asked us to do some remixes, possible work on tracks together, exchanged details and departed. I then went to spend time with Sascha (aka Sport Casual) who is my favorite dj at the moment, check out this killer latin mix from him. This saturday me and Abe are doing live AV jamming at the Lucky Cat and Sascha is going to be playing with us as well.

EM on Solid Steel

Eclectic Method DJ mix on SOLID STEEL this week. A sneeky download of it available here. It's our second time on the show, I have been a fan of Solid Steel since I was a kid so it's always something like giddy excitement for me when the Ninja's ask us to make a mix. The mix has a definite more global/leftfield flavor then our usual dancefloor kicking mixes, should be streaming on their site all this week. Solid Steel has been around for ever, it started out as Coldcut's regular show on KISS FM then expanded to include members of DJ Food, Darren (DK) and others. They also started syndicating the show to stations around the world about a decade ago. Anyone who has heard Coldcut's Journeys by DJs (JDJ) will know the killer eclectic mixing styles that Solid Steel contains. Liam Howlett (The Prodigy) stated it as his number one influence for doing his astonishingly good Dirtchamber Sessions Vol 1 mix.

Little Big Beef

We've recently been working on levels, remixes and some development ideas for the new PS3 game Little Big Planet. The game is sick fun and has the most important ingredient for a game that is going to be huge, girls love it! We also recently spent time with Quincy Jones III of QD3 in LA who is working with our friends Tim & Raphi on some video orientated projects. We took QD3's Beef series, a bunch of documentaries about hip hop beefs. Check out the first Eclectic Method BEEF mix centered around KRS ONE and the South Bronx. The south south Bronx!
I am locked away in Brooklyn with a pile of drives, Ian is doing much of the same in LA and Geoff in London. I am doing another video jam band thing with Abe at the end of the month at the Lucky Cat in Brooklyn and then Fashion Week gig here in NYC and Geoff and Ian will be playing 2 or 3 times at BESTIVAL. So much remix work in production at the moment , brand new zeitghost, motown mixes, tv show , convention specials.
