for sale on Flickr”>June 30th Gothenburg Sweden @ Colors - Summer Premier!
Two things are certain about summer in Gothenburg: If the sun is shining the parks will be crowded and if it’s Wednesday evening you’ll find the largest color coordinated crowd in the country lined up outside of Nefertiti!

On June 30th it is finally time for Colors to open the gates again and celebrate summer with a green evening!

Expectations are huge following last years success, online where Colors was elected Club of the Year 2009 by Djungeltrumman. This year we are aiming even higher and we are very pleased to be able to present one of the best DJ’s on the planet for our premier, DJ Neil Armstrong! Armstrong built a solid reputation through his amazing mixtapes and is The official DJ for Adidas events, but during the last years his career skyrocketed when he became The DJ for Jay-Z! Armstrong was also appointed DJ for president Obama’s inaguartion party! Neil Armstrong has been a key figure in the development of the modern music culture, where all boundries and genres are crossed in the quest for the perfect vibe. As such we see Neil Armstrong as the perfect artist for Colors!

As we planned the summer we have hung out a lot at the new favourite restaurant, Moon, which we are pleased to introduce to the rest of Gothenburg. They will present their delicious green curry at the premier. The garden architects at Bellis Växttema has also promised to bring some of the summer park feeling to our outdoor area! This is just a glimpse of what’s to come from our action packed premier on Green Night June 30th!

The DNA of the Blueprint Revisited – Now Tracked out for your pleasure….

Mr Carter has made news most recently with the collabo with super producer Dr Dre. But an important one to me is a different but similar connection.

ambulance on Flickr”>jay and neil 1

Ah yes, patient the MC and the DJ .

It’s been a while now actually since I’ve played the backup roll for Jay- although MOST people still think I still DJ for Jay though, which makes me think people really don’t read my blogs or pay attention to my twitter ;) I still get asked on the daily.

I of course have moved on the bigger and better things – like ending up in the Star Wars “movie” with Snoop and Beckham, and travelling around the world solo for adidas…

Stormtrooper and the DJ...

But, another Bday Around the corner has got me Reminiscing over one of the most whirlwind times of my life.

jay_nel_onstage

About 3 months ago I dropped the DNA of the Blueprint on y’all, and for the most part barring a handful of critics… I think y’all liked it ;)

jay_and_neil_replay

One complaint / request though, was that some of y’all NEEDED it Tracked out , seperated so you could fastforward and rewind with eaze in your car and whatnot.

And I’ve been slacking on that. BUT , since its my bday this Saturday, I figured it would be a good time to get my good karma up and give y’all , my supporters and fans a gift right back.

So here ya go – go here to Download the DNA of the Blueprint – Seperated Tracks ;)

Download a Freebee from the Past – the Best of 2005 Cornerstone Mixtape

Wow, troche in about 5 days its gonna be my Bday… and I can’t help but reflect.

To say I have a crazy life would be an understatement, help and when I do think back there have been a lot of turning points, remedy a lot of hallmark moments.

My buddy Vinroc used to have this theory that if you are on your proper “path”, things kind of come together for most people later in their life, when they hit their 30’s.

For me, that was well, back about 5 years ago ;)

I think what vinny said was kind of true… it was around that time that the outside non underground worldstarted to take notice of me.

Back in 2005 was the first time that Cornerstone asked me to do one of their infamous Mixtapes.

And I think that was one of the signs that I was moving into a different realm.

As it turns out, this mixtape wasn’t widely distributed to my normal fanbase. It was a “Best of” mix for that years music, and was really only sent to industry folk, you couldn’t buy it.

I recently dug it up, and I decided, it would be a good time to Revisit and reminisce over it with y’all my fans and critics. You can see how much time has passed, and what I was doing back then to prepare me for my life now…

Below is a Tracklist for my part of the cd. It starts with #33, as DJ Timbuktu did the 1st half of it. Mr Cee also was featured on it, thats why he’s on the cover. Back then, I didn’t get any cover love ;)

Its funny, the 1st track of the cd – well, it was Jay-z on it ;) Kind of prophetic don’t ya think? ;)

The New Zealand Wrapup

diagnosis on Flickr”>IMG_1109

Yes Yes, healing When I went to New Zealand , diagnosis I definitely felt like a king for a day, thanks to the good folk at adidas, Show Room 22, and Frank and Ivy Liew of Qubic (http://www.qubicstore.com/) and quarters.

From the moment I got off the plane the new zealand Hospitality was imminent , with a nice hand written welcome note and a few gifts ,including the local Rugby Team ALL BLACKS jersey and a boxset of New Zealand Music Artist hits, which I’ve gladly added to my music collection.

i got to do it all it seemed, from Bungy Jumping, to Interviews, to good eats, to site seeing and Party Rocking…

It was ALL captured by NICELY here by frank liew and qubic, directed by Sean Wallace. Another “Day in the Life” type video, with a lot more in depth interviewing and a really good look at what its like for me on the road….

In fact, I had 2 GROUPS of cameras following me, as I made the LATE NIGHT NEWS on TVNZ in their showbiz section…

Screen shot 2010-06-14 at 2.45.04 PM

For those planning a Next GREAT Trip, I would highly suggest New Zealand…

Their Humor is amazin – as we all know from FLIGHT of the Concords and their bungy jumping – look at how their bathrooms look, and their “waiver sheet” , which they call a “toe tag”. HILARIOUS.

IMG_1012

IMG_1011

The food is pretty dang tasty – they even have REAL ACAI, like the stuff down in Brazil, not that American Crap. This is the only other place I’ve seen this stuff served Proper.They got proper meat pies (pause) and of course there is Burger Fuel, which I think gives In & Out a run for their money as far as Burgers go…

IMG_1170

IMG_1076

They got great stores like Qubic and Quarters for your street wear needs –

IMG_1094

IMG_1066

They even got Benecio Del Toro Selling ICe cream out there. COME ON. How crazy is that.

IMG_1083

They got great local artists like David Dallas holding it down over there ON a global scale , as his work has been blogged up on Kanye Wests site.
IMG_1135

IMG_1145

SHOOT – I even ran into STEVE AOKI , our first meeting , A NY and LA AUCKLAND Connection –

IMG_1134

As you can imagine, I can’t wait until I get to hit the other side of the world again… and I suggest that y’all make New Zealand a Destination on YOUR world tour …

Until the next time ;)

Next week I return to Oahu Hawaii… so lets recap the last trip shall we.

I’m here in Cincinnati Ohio / Kentucky , pilule and it IS RIDICULOUS HOT.

Which reminds me, that in exactly a week I’m returning to Hawaii to Celebrate my Bday / Rock for y’all .

I figure before I do that it would be nice to reminisce on when I was last there in april for the Architechs 10 YR anniversary party.

It was fun in the sun, surfing, good music, good scenery, good food and good peoples…

And one of my partygoers Jodee actually flew in from the big island just to party with me, and brought me some Freeze dried Ice cream – she works for an astronomy type spot ;)

IMG_0041

IMG_0040

I pretty much ate the whole thing that nite back at my hotel ;)

As you can see, Hawaii is BEAUTIFUL. Click Here to see the rest of the flicks from the last trip.
