Alex English and Prince Language.

This Thursday we are honored and excited to have Alex English guest DJ at our Common Folk Party at Home Sweet Home (131 Crystie St and Delancey.) Alex is a dinosaur of a DJ who has worked with everyone you can think of. He has been spinning records for over a decade and is a big part of GBH who was nice enough to get us a guest DJ Set at East Village Radio last week.

it was a total blast. East Village Radio is pretty much like DJ'ing in a fish tank on 1st St and 1st Ave. It is a DJ booth in a glass store front. Spinning there was a really challenging experence. I wanted to play some rare music to show off a bit and I also wanted to play my friends music to get them some exposure.so therefore I found myself trying to mix The Ohio Players - O.H.I.O with Lauren Flax's C.O.Y.A. Heartsrevolution remix, plus I was stoned and yelling in the Microphone for Boy Boy to call the station. it was quite a site.

Over the weekend we went to Wesleyan University in Connecticut to play a show with Plams Out artist and friend Leif. we had a blast, Leif killed it and thank you to everyone from the college that showed us a great time and enjoyed our party. I'd come back anytime you guys to campus life right.

Friday we have the privilege of DJ'ing with one of my favorite people in the world Eamon Harkin and super respected DJ and artist Prince Language. He has worked with names like The Rapture, Juan Maclean and Death From Above where he made official remixes for all three. I am stoked.


I came up with the idea of having a Disco'esque party, which pretty much means groovy DFA remixes mixed with Grace Jones, The Bee Gee's and a little Donna Summers to top it off, as an excuse to get more dressed up for gigs. Can't wear a fitted cap spinning disco. Or maybe I am just completely self indulgent. I will be wearing some amazing wing tips I got for $8 at a Connecticut thrift store.

Anyway, I have a bunch of friends helping out on Friday including, my new homeboy Bradley D, Palms Out, The Honorable Mayor West Pain (who needs no explanation) and our new promoter Pepper.

It should be like 60 degrees or something, Savalas is a great venue, with a awesome owner, staff, bouncers, bartenders, drinks, decor, and the sound, this has all the ingredients of a great time.
