Cali, London, Ibiza and Berlin

Hey ... What up my fellow house music lovers! Here are a few words on the Original House Gangster’s road adventures for the past month.

Lets start with the very anticipated return of B3’s JUJU BEATS. This was an event that I was actually very prepared to do and I pulled out the Sneak Classic Bin JAMZ for this party. The party went off in an incredible location and even though it ended at 2 am, it went OFF! I loved every minute of it, the production was incredible, the areas were on point, and the DJS came to do work. I did walk around the party a few times, I got a good view of all the Areas and it looked great from all angles. As usual, yours truly came with the HEAT. I went back to the classic JUJU beats time and delivered a great throwback DJ SNEAK SET from the 90’s. Wally Callerio also threw down LA styles and the rest well they did their best as well. I’m looking forward to many, many more JUJU Beats to come as well as HOW SWEET IT IS! Stay tuned to get some info on future events. I truly believe B3 is on the way back to great Parties in Great Locations with the best House line-ups like they always brought it to So Cal. Check out the limited mp3 downloads of my set and pass it on because this music is loved and will come back on top. Mad love and shout outs to all the true hardcore fans that showed and enjoyed with us, respect!

OK! San Francisco .... I love California and I LOVE this city!! All I can say is that if you went to the 12 monkeys Little House In the City Anniversary @ Mighty, you got a proper House schooling session ... Derrick Carter & DJ Sneak together ... what!!?? The last time we played together in SF was like 12 years ago. Anyway, the party was off the hook, we came to play HOUSE and that is exactly what we did! I get a real good feeling when I get to play with my favorite HOUSE DJ and mentor in many ways. I had the pleasure to open up for Derrick and set it up for a real dope DC house set that he can gracefully deliver. Everybody there had a blast and the OG peoples came out to have a good time, and my friends this was just the warm up to my UPCOMING SNEAK BIRTHDAY BEATS! In CALI this year after many years of doing it in Toronto where I live. Stay in touch and be aware that I am putting together a great event for 2008! I want give Thanks to Aaron and his Crew for putting together a good house down at mighty. Also, if you didn't get a House Gangster T-shirt from my boy PINGA you can buy them at www.tlaser.net. Sorry! All the free ones were handed out already. But!!! here is something free that you can have ... a limited SET of the night ... first come, first serve. Enjoy again!

London Town! Wow! things a have really changed in London, I’m loving the guys on the tuck-tuck/rickshaw/bikes things! They're a great way to get around. I did some work in the UK after not coming to play for 3 years. Corsica Studios was a good little warehouse event, fresh faces and old school heads all alike. I think it’s just what London needs after all the CLUB closings they have been dealing with this past year, I heard 4 venues are gone this past year with the saddest closing happening soon ... the club THE END. I met with some cool house heads that really appreciated the coming of sneak beats back to London. Shouts to Smokingroove for the interview! Check out the podcast, as they said to me that it was the longest most important interview they've had in years. I know someday very soon things will go back to some great underground vibes in the UK, I’m working to make this happen, stay positive and things will change like OBAMA!

Oh Yeah! WE LOVE @ SPACE was no joke man! After a dreadful flight and delays getting there, I finally arrived and did the SNEAK BEATDOWN of the summer, I played in the main room to a fully packed floor. I really think people were ready to be blown away with good house beats again. I took over, and the VIBE changed as I got crazier and crazier on the decks. There are some videos out and you can also check out my personal videos here too. The set was recorded and will be podcasted on Itunes soon as part of the WE LOVE. I have to be grateful to the many people who still want to dance and have a good time; this yearly Sneak “Rockdown” has been steady and always expected, as I don’t play what everybody else is playing on the Island. While there, I went to see Derrick Carter at “EL Divino”, Roger S at “Pacha “ and the craziest Cocoon Monday night party that has been taking over the Island with the real people who love to still party. I hung out with my friends from Romania; Raresh, Calin and others. I also chilled with Ricardo Villalobos and he even bumped one of my newest cuts I produced as soon as I handed it over to him. I love this guy’s energy and drive, he really represents for the Latinos of the Music World, Much LOVE and Respect!

There are some videos of the madness to see, check it out. Make sure to check out the Podcast, it’s a great one. Always much love to all the people that I get to see and hang with every year in IBIZA. Special thanks to my dear friend PAPI @ Hyper Centro Cafeteria for all the great coffee and food, mucho amor! Also many thanks to all at WE LOVE ... I love it in my life!

Visiting Villalobos

Then it was off to Berlin, the city of Minimalism and Wurst Sausages! Well Berlin got “Sneaked Up” by some good old house MUSIC! I went to plant seeds and put the funk in minimal’s ass. The Gig was very good indeed, even though the crowd was a bit more commercial than usual, I still put it down the way I always do, deep n funky! The people reacted well to it, some were asking for hits but you know I can’t go for that. I played to a good mixture of Germans and outsiders from near by Countries; they all seemed to love what I was laying down. It was very refreshing for everybody there including the Marlboro people who put on the event at weekend. I'm definitely looking forward to going back to Berlin and the rest of Germany soon cause I truly believe they want the Chicago sound back to their scene. Mad love n respect to Gojko & Olav, also Jay Haze n Dubs for the green times. Check out some footage from The Anja Schneider Radio Show where I played live to radio and did a 1-hour set plus interview, good stuff to check out.
