Last night after I DJed the Brian Lichtenberg Fashion Show Afterparty, I went to the Fools Gold Tour (Featuring Kid Sister, A trak, Mehdi, Kavinsky, Catchdubs, Cool Kids). It was the perfect blend of streetwear jocking, crunchy electro kids, and it was ridiculous-insane-crizazy, A-Trak killed it. Dude is such a good DJ, and fuck the turntablist shit he did what good DJ’s do. He played the hits, and played them right. That place went OFF! Like ridiculous, and me and Brick both had a serious moment. We just looked at each other and were thinking the same thing “How the fuck did this happen?!” I remember hearing Waters of Nazareth in like 2005 when I was still playing college football, and realizing this was some life changing shit for me. But I never EVER EVER EVER thought anyone else would give a fuck, this shit is techno. Nobody likes “techno” in the united states. Nobody cool at least. Brick was right there in the beginning too, he was workin at dim mak when Russ started. Then when Russ and I met at “The Sounds” tony the beat video shit really started poppin, between guest DJ spots, Hush Hush, and other shit me, brick and about 25 other people have witnessed a revolution. A legitimate revolution.
I can easily remember my first DJ gigs, playing fischerspooner and crappy electroclash and trying to play “we are your friends” while it cleared dance floors. Not just in bougie clubs, in every club. At hipster spots you had to play the strokes, the yeah yeah yeahs, interpol, things of that nature to get people dancing (of course classics are classics).
So to watch a whole building about to explode to we are your friends, watching trashy OC girls, Punks, Hip Hoppers, Hipsters, Bohemian Kids, all coming together to chant “we are your friends”, body surf and dance the night away to some fucking techno. This is some mind blowing shit. Like some mind fucking what is going on here bizzaro world shit.
I’m sure pictures will be on cobrasnake soon (shoutout to the mini cobra’s) but for now I leave you with this flickr photo I found from last night.

I kinda miss the old days of no blog house. I remember dropping that Faint remix of Y-Control and everyone flipping out, ahhaha.
