Some footage will be shot Saturday July 24 during Chris’ set at Krave.

The rest of the shoot will take place on Sunday July 25 at the Crown Nightclub in the Rio Hotel Casino. If you would like to be part of the video, be at the club no later than 11pm. Free entrance to Crown if you say you are coming for the “Oh Mama” video shoot. DJ Frankie’s Roller Boogie party will be taking place, so dress fun and be ready for action!

Interesting video interview with Dave Smith, who is credited as the father of MIDI. He created some of the best keyboards ever (Prophet 5 among them!). I own a Prophet 600, which was the first synthesizer to ship with MIDI on board. This clip was from the old Tech TV show “Screen Savers” with Leo Laporte. Great show for us nerds!
Special guest also on the show is Steve Wozniak, the co-creator of Apple! Enjoy!

Was just informed that my new single with Las Vegas club legend DJ Frankie is released on Beatport ! I realized it’s been 8 years since my last single AS the artist (and not just the man behind the scenes).

The track is a nice compliment to ANY summer gathering! I would LOVE and appreciate your support in heading on over to Beatport and buying yourself a copy (or 3).

Get it on Beatport now!

People often ask me, “so what are you working on now?” It’s asked in interviews, in clubs, and by peers and friends. I don’t know how to answer this many times because SO many things can change during the course of a project that it might not turn out to be the project you previously announced. I get so nervous when I see producers say “I’m in the studio working on…… with ……” (I’m guilty of it myself)

Why is this bad? When you announce the birth of something on the night that it is still being created, too many things can change that will leave people asking in the future “whatever happened to that song that you said was coming out?” It’s like the tradition of not discussing a pregnancy until the 2nd trimester. Even if you did an amazing job in the studio, the project is still at the mercy of management, labels, promo people, lawyers, etc…. Maybe the artist gets dropped, pregnant, or involved in some scandal that halts an entire album (been through ALL of those). In other words, until a record gets released, it does a better service to the artist and all involved to be a little more discreet. Plus, it adds a nice air of mystery when you can just release a project and people can THEN view the “behind the scenes” moments. For that same reason I hate seeing specials on how a movie was made BEFORE I have actually seen the movie.

I know it’s all about hype, promo, and bragging rights to tell the world what you are doing the second you are doing it, but I personally enjoy the privacy and uninhibited nature of the recording studio. Of secretly working in the studio on some monster that you will soon unleash on the world!

So with this is mind I can honestly tell you that I am currently working on:

1. a track by a person who used to be in a big band
2. a track by another person who is still in a big band
3. a track by a big artist working with another big artist
4. a track by an artist who hopes to be big someday
5. a track by an artist that you have not heard of (yet)
6. a track by a guy who makes tracks for other people

There! Time to get to work………..
