Last century, Freaky Chakra and Hawke spent one evening in the studio in the Lower Haight in San Francisco. We worked on a remix for local Dub band Dub Addxx. A remix album was slotted to be released on Sunburn Records but it never saw the light of day.
Dom and I had a good time [...]

How’s your Balearic summer going?
We all struggle with the harsh awakening of a Monday morning. So I wrote a song about it. It’s one of my favorite tracks from my new Hawke album which will be released on Eighth Dimension Records in late September.
Last night we set sail with the Sunset Crew [...]

Michelangelo Battaglia has declared this to be the Balearic Summer 2009. So without further ado, here’s a cover version of Happy Mondays “Bob’s Yer Uncle” from my new album “+++”.
Back in 1990, a friend and I were backpacking around Europe, and Scott Hardkiss cajoled us into soaking up some rain and music with 70,000 [...]

This remix of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love was produced in 2004 with the help of Skyler Mic in San Diego. In never ceases to amaze me how the crowd react to it. A hyper energetic romp for the heavy weight rockers and midnight ravers. Sure to take a DJ set into [...]

Mei Lwun crafted this crazy mash up of my track Kiss My Ass together with Prince’s Erotic City.
Dude went web platinum last year with over a million downloads of his classic mashup “Sweet Home Country Grammar” and “You Humped me all Night Long”.
So kiss my ass!!

I always wanted to remake Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love.
Last year, I sketched out a version and then worked with Skyler Mic to come up with a dynamite final mix. I called it “Whole Lotta Fluff,” and sent mp3s to a handful of DJs ranging from DJ Icey to Tim “Love” Lee. [...]

Poi Dog Pondering are an amazing band with roots in Hawaii, Austin and Chicago. Their music shape-shifts around genres and they’re not afraid to jump between rock, soul, house and traditional Polynesian sounds.
I was stoked when Frank Orrall asked me to choose a track from the album “In Seed Comes Fruit” to remix. [...]

My sister and I arrive at a slick restaurant in the valley where we’re meeting friends and family to celebrate her birthday. I notice a girl at the bar wearing dark glasses. I’m at the bar waiting to get the bartender’s attention, and the girl turns to me and says “Will you give me [...]

This track was inspired by a trip to Chile to DJ at a really special event in a fishing village outside of Valparaiso called Quintay.
Architecture students and their pioneering professor, Pol Taylor, cleaned and adorned the abandoned ruins of a whaling station to create the most amazing temporary environment for a music festival. Huge [...]

Rolling Stones classic reworked in a way that Mick would love. Well done!! You can find out more here. 
An eye for an eye! Scott Hardkiss and Q-Burn trade mixes on this fantastic single from the album "Technicolor Dreamer." You can find out more here. 
Q-Burn's Abstract Message has a song called "Chainsaw" which doesn't sound like one. Pleasant mid-tempo balaeric vibes all round. Check out his blog here
