Aftermath I

So the month of September has been interesting. I had two EP releases this month. Terraza ep and Martleb Remixes ep. One of the remixes from the Martleb EP got charted by Hernan Cattaneo. Hernan is one of the most well known and respected djs in the world. It feels good that he has been playing one of my tunes. That was big news!
Moving on...I took a road trip to Austin recently to catch one of my favorite bands Miami Horror. It really was a disappoint. My first time being at The Phoenix (venue) is a nice club. They had open bar from 9-10pm. That was great. There was a fashion show...that was ok. There was 3 bands on the line up. The first band...completely forgot the name of the band...I didn't really like it. I didn't move from where I was sitting. The second band French Horn Rebellion. They seemed cool. But I noticed from the stage...the sound was not great at all. You could not hear the guys vocals at all. I knew from there that Miami Horror was not going to be all that great either. I'm a sound guy myself. I need to be in a club where it HAS to be loud n clear so I can enjoy the music....or at least get in some kind of groove. The band took a long while to set up. They didn't start the music until 2am. I noticed there was problems with some of there keyboards and used a different kind. As soon as they got on...the sound did not change at all. Big failure on that. I don't what else to say about the night. The sound makes a difference everywhere to me! I can't really say anything bad about the band, it had nothing to do with them. Oh yea...another thing that stood out the most was this guy that smelled realllllyyyy bad. Whoever is reading this and went to the show, you probably know who I'm talking about! Haha! Smelled so bad my nose hairs fell out.
Day 2 of the weekend. I had to be back for my show that I created. I booked Justin Martin at Cine El Rey. The whole 5 hr drive all I was thinking about is the SOUND and people attending. After the whole Miami Horror show I knew I wasn't going to let that happen for this night! All I had to do was wait really. I had the sound going early. And the sound was great! Had so many people calling and txting. I got tired of it. I was running around like a mad man. Time flew so fast that 11pm came around. That was my time to dj. After my set I was given so many props. That was cool. I had fun...looked like the whole venue had fun. The crowd that came in was good looking crowd. That's what I liked! All the events I do is all about FUN. Always. Just like my any other gig I do really. Just have fun and enjoy yourself. Justin Martin played a awesome set by the way. He rocked the party. Justin told me himself that McAllen is way better than most of his other gigs. That's really good to hear. I know there's a scene down here. Just got to have hope. I'm trying to make it bigger! This night made up for Miami Horror that's for sure!

ciao!

Here is my set from Justin Martin. Cheers.
