Ghostland Observatory with UT Marching Band
I was lucky enough to see the Ghostland show at Austin Music Hall for the CD Release party of Robotique Mystique. I found a youtube video of it and thought I would share. It was a great show, completely sold out, packed to the walls and the crowd couldn’t get enough.
SXSW Gametap Mix
I had the pleasure of playing the SXSW Interactive party for Gametap at Parkside on March 8th, 2008. Everyone was super friendly and fun and overall the night was a blast. Parkside had some great hors d’oeuvres (otherwise known as snacks) and the staff was very helpful nd cool, especially Sean. Big thanks to everyone that night, I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Here’s the almost 4 hour mix from the night which includes everything from dub, reggae, hip hop, indie rock, house, electro, dance rock, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Hot Chip and everything in between. This is not my normal type of gig which is to say I normally play underground electronic dance music and don’t cross as many styles, genres or bpms/speeds. The mix isn’t the most technical but its very listenable with a ton of great tunes. I might add the tracklist inglater if I can find the time.
Enjoy and feedback is always welcome.

Sasha and Digweed North American tour sponsored by Beatport
6 years since the Delta Heavy tour, Sasha and Digweed return to the US for a rock star style tour of the US. The tour starts at the WMC and ends at Coachella and hits total of 21 cities in just one month. They are skipping Texas and most of the midwest entirely even though they played Austin, Dallas, and Houston on their last tour.
To be honest, I’m not fired up about seeing these guys in a 9PM - 2AM format. For me, the focus of these events was the building of the music in a dark club that lasted until the early morning. I’m attending Coachella so expect a report on their set in April.

Ghostland Observatory - Live ACL recording and Robotique Majestiqe Release Party
Ghostland Observatory has posted one of their new tracks, Dancing on My Grave (click to download the Let There Be Vinyl Remix), from their upcoming album Robotique Majestiqe on their myspace page. They played this thumper at their Ghostland at the Opera show at UT’s Hogg Auditorium towards the end of their set and it stuck in my head.
They are scheduled to play the Austin Music Hall on Feb. 29th and have sold the show out with a month to go. While the price of admission is a bit high ($32 before fees), you do get a copy of their new album. I’m sure it will be a killer show and I’m truly happy for all their success. They’ve got a great sound and their live show with the lasers and all is pretty intense.
Quick back story, the company I work for, Roxwel.com, hosted a SXSW party in 2005 on the roof of Light Bar. This was just before Paparazzi Lightning really started taking off and I ran the setup of the show and the mixing board for them. I’ve also worked with them at one of the Texas Rollergirls roller derbies. Both Aaron and Thomas are very professional and take their shows very seriously. Aaron, the singer, is super nice and definitely has amazing charisma. Thomas is more of a mad scientist and doesn’t come off as friendly, but from what I can tell he’s really just very focused and concerned with the sound and visuals of the show regardless of the circumstances. Thomas also used to be a rave promoter back in the late nineties and I actually attended some of his raves. I’m sure that’s where their love of lasers come from.
On that note, here’s Ghostland’s set from ACL this year, hope you enjoy it as much as I did and remember to support the artist by buying their ablums.

Off to Chihuahua to play at 46 Bar & Lounge
Marcos Barrera has asked me to come play at the 46 Bar & Lounge in Chihuahua, Mexico this Friday, Feb 1st. Lance Cashion has played there several times and has had a blast every time. I’m super excited to meet these guys and hopefully rock the house for them. Expect pictures and a recorded set in the coming weeks. If you’re Spanish is decent, check out the event description here and here.
2008 Coachella Lineup Announced
Goldenvoice has announced the 2008 Coachella lineup. As usual, there is a healthy lineup of electronic acts. The big ones for me are Adam Freeland, Diplo, Boyz Noize, Junkie XL, James Zabiela, Sebastian, Uffie, Simian Mobile Disco, Booka Shade and Deadmau5.
Portishead is obviously huge but having gone to Coachella last year, I can say that the smaller acts are a bit more enjoyable than the main stage acts.
