Correggio was one of the foremost painters in Italy 500 years ago. Rich patrons paid him to decorate their walls and ceilings with amazing stuff like this. He was responsible for some of the most sensuous works of the 16th century. His masterpieces are on display at museums like the Louvre, the Prado and the Hermitage, and in Cathedrals in Italy.
Guys like this pushed the human creative envelope to the edge using pencils and paint.
500 hundred year from now, I wonder where they’ll display the art of our times?

December is always a bittersweet time of the year. A lot to be grateful for and a lot to remember.
The loss of our sister Tania several years ago echoes strongest this week. We celebrate her life and ours. Christopher Hitchens moves on to green pastures and Vanity Fair will never be as interesting. Paul Ribera is on a celestial bus to a higher place. We miss you dearly!
I wrote the song The Hardest Kiss before I knew loss. Nowadays this song, always a challenging listen, bring back strong emotions that connect with those no longer with us. Rest in peace. See you in the next word where we’ll have a good time.
Originally released as one of the dance remixes from Love Won Another, this, new 320kbps remastered version, is the final nail in the coffin of this song. Guitars by Michael Lovesky and vocal performance by Kenon Chen.
The end of the year is upon us and we have a lot to be thankful for. Another loop around the sun with family and friends and music and images and soccer and other bits and pieces of fun and games.
Our lives intertwine through the chaos.
This past weekend I found myself within the same day sitting in the waiting room in intensive care while my dad had spinal fusion surgery and then celebrating my birthday with Robbie Hardkiss, loads of friends and family and 100 golden balloons at Project One.
Within 24 hours, I was celebrating my friends Ryan and Joel’s impromptu dawn wedding on the 17th tee of the Half Moon Bay Golf Club.
Next day I was putting my 14 year old cat Luna to sleep while my Dad was creeping out of a morphine induced haze.
Thankfully, Dad is on the road to recovery.
While I was waiting in the hospital during his 6 hour surgery, I made this remix of a song with lyrics and vocals by Jonas Rasmussen & music by Stian Rasmussen.
Here’s the soundtrack to an epic weekend with old friends flying in and out to join the festivities. Super fun times!!
One thing I love about this musical moment in time is that there are amazing producers around the globe editing/re-rubbing/remixing/updating/genre-shifting classics of old so that they fit into our new groove. Much credit to the original producers of many of these songs, however, some of the newer versions sound better than the original. I love how we keep re-writing history and re-inventing the past!!

27. Hawke – Everything Is Happening (Atnarko Remix)
All night recording sessions at Hyde Street Studios in the Tenderloin were plenty. We were all falling over each other to get time in this studio. Stationary Tornado was born there and found a home on the first Hawke album “Namaquadisco.”
Released on vinyl in 1998 with a confusion of remixes as ‘Erections from Namaquadisco Vol 3‘, DJs were not sure whether to play the record at 33 or 45 rpms. This original techno-acid version was not made for the couch. With muddled vocals by Laron aka Swan, the track slid snake-like from one dimension to another, as if caught up in ‘the eye of the storm.’
I always loved the sounds and the composition on this one, and last week I punched it up a notch with T-racks so that I could make a solid digital version for DJs.
I’ve been preparing some new edits of classics for upcoming events in Florida and North Carolina. It’s crazy to hear the difference in production standards from 20 years ago to now. I thought I’d put together a new version of ’3 Nudes in A Purple Garden’ but after messing around with it, I came up with an entirely new song.
’3 Nudes’ was the first song I ever made. Swear to God. I didn’t know I had it in me. I bought a Emax sampler and a sequencer and put together a rough version in the Hardkiss basement studion on 16th and Guerrero in San Francisco in 1992. Soon after, with some final production help from the UltraViolet boys, it became the third release on the Hardkiss label.
The song and it’s elegant remixes by Scott and Robbie were played worldwide and helped put me on the map as a producer. I wouldn’t be here today without the the fanfare surrounding that song.

BPM Records was the primo record store in San Francisco thoughout the ’90s. Originally on Polk Street below 3rd Floor Studios (now Moulton Studios), this was the spot to get all the latest vinyl and hang out with your favorite DJs and producers. The store eventually moved to Hayes Valley preceding the crush of high-end retailers and speciality stores to that are4a.
Endless enjoyable hours were spent with Ishmael and many new music relationships were forged under the shelter of BPM. Icons like Chris Lum and Daniel ‘Drunken Monkey’ Lippencott got their feet wet in this record pool.

One of my favorite artists from the '90s has a fantastic new song. Get it! Don't regret it!
The new Frivolous album Meteorology is where I wanna be this winter. 
Bibio re-purposed for the California dancefloor by Dirtybird cohorts. Lovely!
