um... care to kick it?

Hola Beat Faithful,

I gotta be honest , I am way to stoked about this week/weekend. Surprisingly, among the other crazy Bay Area events, Love Fest has become my favorite despite being a relatively young happening. I’ve done Love Parade in Berlin, and Pacha and Amnesia in Ibiza on a couple of occasions, and I really feel like this event in SF is filled with a similar energy, yet still remains very distinct. If there was ever a week/weekend to let loose, this is it.

I am fortunate to be playing 3 gigs over the next few days and am pumped to be contributing to the musical soundscape on offer. There will be no apologies, just chunk and funk. (mad funk, we’ve not yet begun to stunk, what you thunk?) See your asses in the mix, YA DIG?
