Le Royale is my new regular Saturday night stomping grounds….
you catch me now, and every Saturday from here on in at a lovely spot that needs no introduction, as many  (e.g. New York Magazine, and Blackbook Mag) have already done it for them…

I’ll have a steady amount of tricks up my sleeve every week….& a grip of heavy heavy music I’ve been itching to unleash onto unsuspecting ears at this fashionable (yet edgy) venue.

Expect to be taken to distant auditory lands (both smooth and distorted) and thrown an occasional life preserver from the Saturday night script, if I see you drowning….

“AK” at the door for free entry and no hassle…

Holler for drink tickets…..

Join us as we team up at for a stacked party at  Stay

Fancy will be upstairs keeping it ‘Friday real’

I’ll be downstairs in a very sexy speakeasy that looks like the lovechild of an ice castle and Cro-Magnon’s caves

say “AK” at the door for no line and no hassle

Join me once again for another heavy heavy Saturday @ Le Royale
….and this time, it’s Tess’s Birthday….

(a la Tarantino’s Grindhouse)
If you can carry out the following correctly (and smoothly) you just might win a lapdance from the birthday girl:
1. You buy Tess a drink
2. You offer her said drink and recite the following EXACTLY:

…Tess, never shall I seek for the impossible,
cast away my life’s lot on empty hope, a quixotic quest
for a blameless man among those who reap
the broad earth’s fruit,
but if I find him Contessa, you will have my report…

Good Luck!!!

Here is something I threw together real quick . My aim is simply to give you a little bit of the range of house/electro/dance that I often pull out at different venues. It’s about 45 minutes long and about every 10 minutes or so I switch gears dramatically.  Enjoy.

A little while back we put together a promo mixtape (from concentrate) spanning 24 songs in 16 minutes.
