Ah, February. The month when we finally stop writing last year on our checks and really start getting into the swing of things. For us here on the Beatery, it’s back to a regular schedule, back to the popular Five on Friday podcasts and of course, back to the absurd food metaphors. So, if you’ll indulge me…

On today’s prix fixe menu we have a delectable blend of new sounds sprinkled in with a couple of older yet under-appreciated gems. We start off with a classic remix from Beatery favorite Fukkk Offf, presenting a softer, smoother texture than expected. We follow this with a duo of progressive breaks entrees; note the contrasting funky and trancy flavor profiles. For dessert we’re featuring a pairing of nuskool breaks and electro house numbers, both bold and assertive to send you home satisfied. Bon appetite!

Five on Friday - Listen

Two weeks ago, Matt kicked off our “Five on Friday” feature, and the response was so positive that I couldn’t wait to post one of my own. While the format is certainly a good way to propagate the, ahem, new hotness, it’s also a great opportunity get some older tracks out of our systems that we haven’t been able to work into other mixes. That’s what I’ve gone for here… a short sampling of few backlog tracks you haven’t heard from me before.* Hope you enjoy the bite-sized beats.

Cure For The Mondays - How I Got my 1st Gig in Bolivia

So for those of you aren’t avid followers of my status updates on Facebook (one of these days I’ll graduate to Twitter… I’m a classic “late majority” guy) I had my first gig down here in La Paz, Bolivia last Friday night! How’d it go?  Well, you kinda got to understand the dynamics of the club a bit.  We will defiantly get there, but first, I wanna share the ridiculous story of how I actually GOT the gig in the fist place.

Getting gigs as a DJ is other worldly hard.  Unless you own a club/series of successful parties, are friends with the former, or produce music and are backed by a label your path to the decks are full of more perils, pitfalls and booby traps than Eddie Murphy’s quest for “The Knife” in “The Golden Child”.

I’ll sprinkle in some the tracks I played that went over well throughout the post:
