Whew, it's been a busy past few weeks..



Haven't had the chance to update in a while, been really busy with my gig/work schedule. Let's just say, that certain things have started to fall into place that are going to affect my life in a major way for the next few years. I'm excited/scared at the same time but either way, I'm looking forward to everything that's going to be happening in the next few months.

Just a recap of Memorial Day Weekend, to make a long story short, it was a crazy weekend of gigs from Thursday-Sunday which ended in me getting sick. Still recovering but I'm almost at 100%.

So Thursday night, I did NOT end up DJing at the APAHM Verizon Concert. All the acts were singing ballads/slow songs, so the event coordinators felt that having a DJ play Top 40/Hip-Hop during the intermissions would alter the vibe of the concert. I DID however DJ the afterparty which was a good turnout for a Thursday night in the city. International acts, JJ Lin and Evonne Hsu stopped by as well as world famous DJ Mike Relm. All very nice people.

Friday night I DJed at a private event at Club NV in the city. For an 18+ private event the club was PACKED. Keep in mind that Club NV is one of the biggest capacity clubs in the city and the main room was jam packed. I actually took only one picture this entire weekend of the crowd at NV, so you can see for yourself:

Where's J-Trix?? (oh right, I'm taking the picture)


Saturday was another private 18+ event at Kelly's Mission Rock. I hadn't DJed an event there in over 3 years, so it was kind of interesting to be back there to see what renovations they went through. Before when I used to DJ there, a guy would setup the sound and lighting before every event, now it's all installed which I thought was kind of cool.

Sunday was my DJ debut at the hottest new venue in San Francisco, Manor West. Me and fellow DJ Clinton Lee did an audio/visual DJ 2x4 DJ set. The place was packed and DJ Clinton Lee and I tore the house down, at least from what I remember...

So that was my Memorial Day weekend in a nutshell. For a more recent update, I DJed at Cosmos last night in San Francisco. Great vibe + great crowd + me staying sober = a very fun and memorable night!

Stay tuned for a new mix that I'll be uploading onto my site soon!
