DJ Baz will be spinning at Sanctuary, Providence’s premier Goth/Industrial night for their "Combat Zone" event. Now back at The Dark Lady, Combat Zone showcases a wide variety of electronic dance music, and this November 16th is bringing DJ Baz down from Boston to spin his unique blend of pumping PsyLectro Breaks alongside Sanctuary’s fabulous resident DJs.

For those of you lucky enough to have snagged a ticket to this awesome fire performance training retreat, you will get the pleasure of hearing me alongside Kirsa and Hideki as we rock the night-time fire jams. Oh yeah, and I'm lugging out my JBL SRX725s, so we'll be enjoying sound quality unprecedented at this event!
For those of you who want to know who is spinning what and when, we are instituting a new element - the super-cool DJ dry erase board! So instead of seeing all three of us tag-teaming it through the night, crossing genres with a will and a passion, and confusing the living daylights out of people waiting in line to perform, we'll be doing "real" sets, and we'll have our times and genres listed in front of the booth for all to see!
Oh yeah, and I'm also teaching the intro to poi 1 and 2 classes. I'm looking forward to taking a break from teaching my advanced classes in order to help beginner spinners develop the kind of strong fundamentals and logical approach to flow that I wish I had been taught, those many years ago. Sometimes it amazes me just now new this present incarnation of the art form is!

And he's also banned from the United States for a couple of more years due to visa related violations :P
Damn "the Man"!
I think in 2010 he's allowed to "apply" for the ability to re-enter this country as a tourist.

Download it at www.box.net/shared/r472dypjmpIt's all bouncy electro house. It's summer - and time for some serious bouncy hooping/spinning music.

Like my music collection, I have been rebuilt - stronger, faster, better than before! Branching out to new tempos while celebrating old favorites, here are two sets from before the snows of Winter, only now emerging from hibernation just in time ...

Hey all. For those who've been awesome and contacted me over the past several weeks, I have been computer-less and working off my blackberry...which, as I shall explain, is kind of tricky right now.
The story thus far:

My half hour long closing set from Sanctuary in RI, and an hour long set I performed for Sonya's birthday. I hope you enjoy them :)

Hey all. For those who've been awesome and contacted me over the past several weeks, I have been computer-less and working off my blackberry...which, as I shall explain, is kind of tricky right now.
The story thus far:
Over the past year and a half, I have been suffering from a bizarre collection of chronic ailments, including intermittent hearing loss, dizziness, excruciating spinal pain, a host of other random crap, finally culminating in full body spasms. Freaky, right? Sonya found me...

I'll be going on at some point after 10 PM - we're still working out the details. Some of my favorite old material, some brand new original remixes, and my usual signature flair!
To everybody who's been asking when I'll be DJing next: Nov 8, I'll be spinning at the Boston Burning Man Decompression party. It sold out really quickly this year, so I'm just an extra reason to actually show up and/or stick around (the set times haven't been sent out yet).
If you can't make it (due to distance or lack-of-ticket issues), I will also be spinning at Sanctuary in Providence, RI on Sunday, November 16th. It's my first time spinning there, so come out and boogie down - and y...

Baz is truly a marvel. There has been much heralded of his phenomenal ability with poi, his dashing good looks, and debonair style and though these all conspire to contribute to the identity of Baz, I wish to speak here of the man himself.
He is thoughtful and cunning yet spontaneous and offhand with this air of roguish mystery that just rocks me to the core. He can devise ways to teach just about anything, and has bouts of mad genius that result in the most inspired and ludicrous ideas that make you both laugh and imagine at the same time.
He is also a brilliant performer with a talent for doing things to music that are completely unparalleled.
What can I say, the man is sharp as a tack.

Undoubtedly one of the best tech poi dancers in the world.

Baz is a truly unique cat (and that would be a black cat, prowling the alleyways...) who I have found so truly inspiring and wonderfully delightful in intelligent conversation.
He has inarguably good taste in food, drink AND, the most important, DESSERT!
I truly look forward to enjoying more encounters of the mind, poi, music, and more (dare I say?)DESSERT!
;-D

!Craziness. It was so strange to see you at Meat vs Death Guild the other night... but good strange. :) SF is a great place I'm glad you made it out!
