2012 So Far

A quick post to talk a little about what’s been going on in 2012 so far.  I think about this first month and how incredibly fast it’s gone by. I’ve had a lot on my plate between “daily life” responsibilities and the music business.

I have some major announcements coming up related to my personal life and a change of scenery (though still staying local to Seattle…). Also, with my first child in transit to the material world, you bet your ass I have a lot on my brain!

Music-wise, the snow screwed up my show for January and that was rescheduled for 2/15. The downtempo/original music played there is the first step in the right direction for me as I break into a lot more of my original works and focus on promoting those along side the continued momentum of my house music. This means that a few back-burner projects with Sliptide are coming up, as well as some delicious and very current work with mrastrong, Silver Standard, and Wob Saget.

Many, many plans in the works. It feels great as I check off bits and pieces of them along the way, and I can’t wait to share more music and things with everyone. =)

Sliptide plays oBASSity

I had a great time playing at Electric Tea Garden in Seattle for Miss Shelrawka’s oBASSity! Thanks to everyone who came out to the show to hang out, dance, and have a great time to Miss Shelrawka’s DJing and my live house PA.

November Haps

November brings the start of a crazy busy 2 months. Birthdays (mine, my wife’s, my Dad’s, a bunch of friends…), Thanksgiving, Christmas, retail season at my day job… add in the chaos of home shopping in the winter market, working on music for my live shows in December and January (house and downtempo, respectively), and I’m almost shutting down from overload.

Though, there are a lot of things keeping me in check, and I’m trying to take everything one day at a time and work towards my goals.

Right now I’m listening to Silver Standard’s first self titled LP that hit Bandcamp last spring. The album is due out on iTunes/Amazon/Spotify/everywhere else sometime this winter— I’m very excited for it as I still enjoy this album a lot. I look forward to the future of Silver Standard as an experimental project for Jeff and I.

We’ve been working on another project that takes chillwave/80’s/retro/8-bit influence with a side of light ‘wobble’ and wrapped it all up into “Wob Saget”. Ohhh yes we did!

;)

Cheers to all, and I look forward to sharing more great music, photography, and other ish with you Tumblrs out there!
