If you can't tell by my (lack of) internet presence as of late, I'm really over playing the 'look at me' game... Turns out it's tough to promote a show I've got coming up from this space but I'm really trying my damnedest. With that said, I too will keep this one short & sweet.

Gigs for me are now more special than ever. My family & career are my main focus & I'm pretty much living a completely different lifestyle at the moment which leaves very little time to blow off steam on a dance floor.

I am STOKED to rock the decks this weekend. I don't know what or how I'm going to play & chances are I will absolutely be all over the board rocking new stuff, classic stuff & a dash of drum & bass.

I'm going to keep this one short & sweet. Dj Uplift is one of the best house jocks in the game, only a few DJ's in Iowa have the tools to hold a candle to his work in this class. I used to watch this guy DESTROY Gabe's in Iowa City deep into the late 90's, showing up headliners that traveled from all over the globe to play in that old 'Rotation' DJ booth.

With nearly 3 decades of experience working the controls, his sets as of late tend to show a lot of restraint, allowing the music he plays to build with an incredible patience. But don't let this sense of calmness fool you, as soon as he smells blood in the water he's fully capable of lighting the fires. I'm really excited to hand the decks over to him this weekend so that I can spend some time on the dance floor my damn self.

Outside of a set I get to play at The Great Beyond up in MN at the end of the month, I'm going to spend the rest of the summer dancing it out on the floor.

REALLY excited to head to Madison to experience my good buddy Jason Van Nurden's 'Musique Electronique' event outdoors followed up by an incredible afterparty event at the High Noon Saloon. Danny Daze & Kenny Dope are on my bucket list & I get to see them BOTH this Friday!!!
