In 2001, I released Original. My very first mixtape, 10 years ago.

IMG_4486

Yeah, thats it up there, made so long ago it actually came out on cassette.

Now ,if you have been following my career, the release of this mixtape proved to be a turning point in my life. Almost everything that I’ve gotten to do, all that I’ve accomplished can be tied to that mixtape. And being that it is the 10 year anniversary of its release – we are gonna be celebrating next week Dec 14th @ Greenhouse in NYC. We are locking in the details – but we have some of the greatest DJ’s coming through to create the soundtrack for the night!

My Bay Area Family… This weekend is Black Friday. Not the crazy post thanksgiving shopping day. The Distortion 2 Static annual party.

And this one is will be bittersweet… As we Celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of D2S and also keep our glasses in the air to Say goodbye.

For my folk in the bay, you should know Distortion 2 Static as THE hip hop show, and
even though I’m from NYC, I’ve been rocking with these D2S fellas for a minute, even gettin on their show every so often ;)

You cats will be missed, thank you for letting me be part of the next chapter!

From the website :

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING: CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF D2S

This year we’re asking you to raise your glass in a toast to Distortion 2 Static’s 10 year anniversary, and then leave it in the air for a moment more to help us say goodbye. Distortion 2 Static has been on air from 2001 to 2011, it’s math that adds up to the perfect time to move on. The support that D2S has received from fans and the surrounding artistic community is what gave the show a decade of life. D2S thanks you! The love and respect are mutual.

The members of D2S are excited to take all that’s been learned through the Distortion 2 Static experience and use it to manifest new beginnings. However, the party’s not over! Join us on Black Friday, November 25th for the FINAL Distortion 2 Static anniversary party. Come out and make a toast like it’s our last as we close out 10 years of Hip Hop.

Viva Mexico – adidas originals celebrates Mexico City Recap…

purchase on Flickr”>IMG_3792

Plane Bloggin. My Favorite pastime. Right now I’m over the gulf , order on my way back to the states from our neighbor down under Mexico… my very first time, and I was out there to help adidas originals celebrate Mexico City.

IMG_3803

Being that it was my first time, I really didn’t know what to expect. Robert Rodriguez movies got me thinking all of mexico looks like Desperado and Machete… But as you can see, Mexico City is as cosmopolitan as it gets …

IMG_3859

IMG_3795

IMG_3855

IMG_3856

IMG_3858

I arrived at the brick hotel to chocolate covered strawberries (fruity fancy) and one of these cool mexican sculptures courtesy of adidas… its all about the little things.

IMG_3798

IMG_3799

I was out their to DJ their opening party for a week long batch of events put on by the three stripes all over La Condesa , the “cool” district of mexico city. All the events involved art, sports and fashion of course, and its a way to bring the brand and culture of adidas direct to the people of the city. Want to know more ? Hit up their facebook page . If you happen to be in the city, this friday you can check out the skate contest and the Concert they’re putting on, and even get in on all the action through the magic of social networking – just check the webpage.

First stop for me was to check out the adidas originals store. This is actually one of the cooler ones I’ve gotten to see, complete with a scooby doo VW adidas van upfront , and a tri-foil bike rack for the hipsters…

IMG_3812

IMG_3807

IMG_3808

IMG_3811

The balloons that are attached to the building were made by one of the artists who is involved in the campaign News, one of Mexico City’s dope street artists… she’s pictured below next to one of the murals that have popped up all over “La Condesa”.

IMG_3815

Part of this celebration by adidas was to commission Mexico City’s Street artist to make the city more beautiful for the week – putting up murals all over the city. I got to see a few of them before I hit the launch party –

IMG_3828

IMG_3834

IMG_3837

After running all over La Contesa, it was time to head to the venue – Salon Mexico

IMG_3804

This was a crazy venue in itself. A hewn out brick building with a tunnel like feel on the first floor, and then a second floor where the party time was going down.

The first floor was turned into an impromptu showroom for the new collection by adidas BLUE.

IMG_3841

IMG_3846

The collection hasn’t come out yet, so unless you were one of the special invited guests to the launch party, you aren’t going to get to see it until january… sorry guys ;)

The launch party was a prettty big hub bub … complete with all the flashing lights of the mexican press that I could handle –

IMG_3847

The room was full of mexico city’s Fashionistas, Celebs, bloggers and cool kids.

IMG_3850

IMG_3851

Besides myself, they had some local mexican acts Pi squared and DJ Pato Watson holding it down for the party peoples…

Party went on til the wee hours, and then we went for some tacos.

Thank you to adidas Originals for bringing me out to Mexico City, adding another stamp to the passport.

Neil Armstrong X gizmodo X huffingtonpost tech section

Do y’all know that in a previous life, health one of the jobs I held was “director of operations” for one of those pesky year 2000 internet startups. I got laid off, order decided to not go back to work and devoted my energy to DJing. The world acts in mysterious ways ;)

Regardless, I’m still a geek and gadget nerd for life, so getting any type of mention on gizmodo or any respectable technology site would fall under those things that would be reallllly cool.

Through a bit of luck, a picture taken by fellow tweeter @everydaydude of yours truly chillin in front of reed space nyc , ended up being used by a bunch of tech blogs to tell the world about Twitter’s new image gallery feature.

What is exactly is Art battles??

ArtBattles began in Brooklyn, remedy New York in the fall of 2000 in a battle between Sean Bono and Max Bode. The initial concept was to find a balance between academic and street art and to create and event/ meritocracy rooted in the clash between the two opposing ideals.

The ArtBattles Mission is to produce live art events and competitions that expose emerging artists to the masses. By presenting the creative process as a form of entertainment, we’ve changed the way artists display their talent and created a new model for exhibition and sales.

The mission of our site is to be the global hub for ArtBattles events and to create a community for international artists to network and battle.

We are pioneers of a Live Art Movement seeking to bring art in to the next generation. We believe the exclusivity that confines today’s art culture must be eliminated in order to ensure that art remains engaging and accessible.

Much love to @Urbmag for giving me spot number 9 for their Lollapalooza list of can’t miss acts .

From the article –

We first got to know this member of NYC’s 5th Platoon crew as Jay-Z touring DJ and a maker of many of our favorite mixtapes. But the always affable jock (and Adidas spokesperson) has been stepping out on his own lately, physician helping to fill a fairly large gap in the hip-hop DJing circuit. Equal parts DJ AM, Jazzy Jeff and Funkmaster Flex, Armstrong delivers New York style DJing to Chicago for his Lollapalooza debut.

Chicago… Let’s get it on baby. See y’all at Grant Park.

BUT alas, ed I must take a quick break to tell y’all that I have finally made a DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG FAN FACEBOOK PAGE .

Why praytell?

Well, healing for one thing, I ran out of friend space quite a while ago, the 2nd time this has happened. First time around, I got kicked off of facebook.

Secondly, we’re doing a couple of giveaway contests soon, and I thought this would be the perfect time to use them to promote the new fan page.

Previously I’ve been just too dang lazy to set a new thing up… y’all know I’m already a blog, twitter and foursquare monster. But, now seems like the perfect time to join the rest of savvy interweb folk and put this page up.

We’ll be tying the contest to the new facebook fan page . What is the new contest?? Well, it has to do with This small “music festival” I’m going to be at this weekend…

Details to come, but in the meantime, won’t you like my facebook page? Come on now, even Kip Drordy got fans!
