Remix of a Classic Rolling Stones Song

This is one of the better remixes I've heard of a classic song. 
It's definitely worth listening to, both because it's a Rolling Stones song and because it's a good track.
This piece is a side project from one of LA's own music industry experts, Reece McLughlin (BeatLab Records), aka Reecifer.

The link to the song is below. Go to Soundcloud now and check it out;
if you like it, you can download it for free!


I wonder what the odds are the rock 'n roll super group, the Rolling Stones.

Where to go Kick it with Kung Fu Kev for Labor Day Weekend

Me and Ren @Ecco for A. Caldwell

Welcome back ya'll

Happy weekend of celebrations and Kickin' it with Kung Fu Kev

Labor Day is a day set aside to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers throughout the year. If you have had a good year of working, this would be the designated day for toasting those accomplishments. If you do not fall into this category; i.e., if you did not have a good year of working (and many of us did not) - I still grant you, by the power vested in me, the ability to designate this day for celebrating. Hell, I'm going to grant you all weekend long for celebrating and throw in Monday as well, for a spot of recovery (As if you needed an excuse to get down this weekend!).

Anyway, while I'm granting such privileges, I might as well grant the privileges of telling you some hot spots to go this weekend.


Saturday Night:

Sunday Day:

And then Monday Day:

That should keep you all busy for awhile. Now remember, this weekend is only supposed to be for those who experienced a year of work worth celebrating about. For the rest of you, the only reason you are allowed to participate in this year's festivities, is due to my kindness and generousity. So, take advantage! 'Cause I may not be feeling this good next year -

Living in L.A.'s 100th Post!!!

Hello, hello, hello.... I wanted to take a moment and interject a bit of knowledge in the middle of your busy day. First, it's good to have you back, as we have more information posted about Justin Martin; including: links to his sites and some demo mixes. Also, we have some photos up from the first submissions for the Photo Contest. While you still have time, send us your alterEgo Event Pics to be entered to win a free ticket!

That's all folks! I told you I just wanted to interject a bit.... Anyway, enjoy the rest of the site! Original beginning of the post:


The Week That Was 

Last week was a 'hurry, hurry, hurry; just to wait, wait, wait' week for me, personally. This prevailing theme set the tone for me to miss one of the most anticipated events of the year, Timo Maas at Ecco Lounge in Hollywood. Of course, he was on the slate for last Saturday night. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed this one; and I have already strained my hamstring from repeatedly kicking myself. So, as far as The Week That Was, I've got nothin' for you...... not even an update as to how good the show was.

alterEgo Events Goes Back to Work,The Fun Begins Here (Nightlife)

Kickin' it 

with 

Kung Fu Kev...

back to work

First of all, thanks to all my people for their support with the new promotion work I'm doing and the years of support with my kung fu. I would also like to send out a special 'thanks' to all my friends who helped me celebrate my birthday this year; one way or another. Here's how the alterEgo Events crew helped me tear it up on the last adventure of my 2010 birthday fun:

Well, well.... the boys here at alterEgo Events took some time off a couple of weeks age to help me celebrate my birthday. We each packed a small bag, grabbed our sun screen, and donned our sombreros for a long weekend of fun..... Tijuana was chosen as the exotic destination for our debauchery. Technically, we were headed south of the border just after my birthday; but once we arrived, I realized it was all right on time.

Justin Martin Flies the dirtybird Coop; Lands atop the Standard Hotel June 6th (NIGHTLIFE)

What can I say? Justin Martin, one of the original founders of the dirtybird party, will be turning it up at the next alterEgo Events' downtown Standard roof top party. June 6th is the date; you better get there early!

Demand for Justin’s skills behind the decks has skyrocketed. His bookings schedule is packed to capacity for the next 4 months. 

alterEgo Events, meet Las Vegas; Vegas, alterEgo (Nightlife)

That's right; I know many of you have heard the whispers, and now they have grown to shouts of jubilation; alterEgo Events is starting a monthly party at Tao Beach (Venetian Hotel) in Las Vegas on May 16th. As the alterEgo Events newsletter reported: (Link)

On Sunday, May 16th, grab your pitchfork & horns and meet me in Las Vegas as The Beatport Beach Party at Tao Beach (The Venetian Hotel) takes shape with Manufactured Superstars. 

 Here are the visuals:

Are you ready to let your alterEgo shine through in Vegas?

Wow! This week rocked with several nights of great music, friends, and dancing:

The Week That Was

The Week That Was ~ The Week Ahead (Nightlife)

THE WEEK THAT WAS (April 19-25) Kickin' it with Kung Fu Kev

 This week was slow for me, as I save energy, money, and ideas for the upcoming week, my birthday week. Also, I was helping a friend remodel her condo, and that took much of my gusto for going out. You can see pics of that by clicking  kung fu carpentry. I attended King King on Friday for Behrouz and DJ Kam and I got to see just how funky the famed DJ can get (I missed DJ Kam as I was fashionable late). Behrouz broke it down, mixing in some far reaching new songs with some of the popular current tracks via a well-conceived, intelligent mix that put me in an all-night dance marathon.

MUSIC: Droog's First downtown Standard rooftop party: Martin Buttrich

Here's Droog's first entry into the Standard pool party season; and it looks like it might make a splash..... None other than Martin Buttrich. The famed producer from Germany, especially known for his work with Loco Dice. Personally, he's one of my favorites when I'm listening at home. But, I hope he redeems himself for his latest show (Avalon 3/6) in L.A.; in which I feel he did not give his best effort.

With all the hi jinx happening, Sunday looks to be a dynamic day: 

Just don't forget to save energy for the alterEgo special event at Ecco Sunday night. No worries; if you plan on attending the Standard event, there's just enough time to S.S.& S. (oh, and get some food!) after the Droog party and still get to Ecco for the night's big event!

Here's the Droog flyer:

Wind or shine, the show will go on with abandon. The time to kick off the shoes and dance the blues is nigh. Armed with two lethal weapons - Martin Buttrich and Konrad Black- our label is set to jump start its second full season of rooftop debauchery and a second year of releasing music. Hitch to our unruly wagon and let's have some serious fun.

The party begins at a usual 1pm time BUT will end earlier -7 pm. Please make your plans accordingly - our special guest will start right after 4pm. We are extending our $10 discount entry until 4pm.

MUSIC: Get Your Weekend On, At My House ~ Nadastrom

http://www.alteregoevents.net/myhouse/
Nadastrom (nä-də strom) - Established 2007: The collective brainchild of Washington, D.C. natives Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom. Emerging duo experiencing significant buzz. i.e. The debut release from Nadastrom sold out on vinyl and became a digital store annual bestseller.

With a Grammy nomination in his collection, Matt Nordstrom has been producing, remixing, and engineering for the world’s top electronic artists for nearly a decade. His work appears on a long list of labels including Global Underground, Ultra, Saved Records, Renaissance, EMI, and Minus.

MUSIC: Tonight there is NOTHING Good to do. No Fun, Females, or hot, A List Clubs......

      That's right: don't go out tonight; Stay Home!  And whatever you do, don't go to My House. The party there will be lame, the music will be poor quality, and you'll have no beautiful women to dance with....

APRIL FOOLS!!!

Now, that didn't FOOL you; did it? You weren't seriously entertaining the notion of staying home, were you? If so, shame on you; you MUST have forgotten that this is an alterEgo Events party; because: they know how to make the party go just right.

Seriously? Home? OK, that's fine; stay home - that's more to go around for the rest of us; but you'll be sorry when you hear about what you missed.... We will be rockin' all night with Hollywood's sexiest crowd at the hottest place to go on Thursdays! I Want My House Music @ My House!!!

~And, seriously, if you don't go, you can look at the pictures in a couple of days and see just what you missed ~

What? Oh, right!! April fools on me....!! Damn, you had me going. I actually thought you were going to miss this party AGAIN, ignoring all the signs of universe telling you to bring your butt to My House!!

But, Seriously: Happy April Fools Day Everybody! Come celebrate the day, and the night, with us!

AlterEgo Events Launches Egotistic: Sun 4/4 CHARLIE MAY on the Standard Rooftop (Nightlife)

There are few more inspired artists working in electronic music today than Charlie May. As the architect behind many of the stylistic blueprint shifts in dance since the early heady days of acid house, May knows a thing or two about what makes a dance floor tick. One half of revered progressive house pioneers Spooky; the engineer and producer of many of Sasha’s biggest singles and albums; highly respected solo producer in his own right, May has remained at the vivacious beating heart of house since the early ’90s, taking the pulse of the clubbing populace and ensuring it remains in rude health.

From his first steps into the world of dance music as a starry-eyed, inspired raver attending London’s legendary Brain club nights in Soho, to his current position as the go-to guy for breathtaking, sonically adventurous technoid future dance, this producer and DJ has consistently blazed a trail of innovation which has underpinned many of the most important developments in electronic music.

Egotistic presents: Charlie May @ the Standard Downtown! Pool Party on Sun April 4th! (Nightlife)

Let the POOL PARTY Season Commence!
Also: A Pool Party Survival Guide....

Well, I just wanted to interject a bit..... The weather has started to comply nicely with all requests for a season change. Now, it's time to hit the gym, get a quick tan, and do whatever else you have to in order to look good in your bathing suit; 'cause this Sunday is another pool party atop the Standard downtown hotel! Although this still isn't the official start of the season, that date IS fast approaching (that's pool party season, NOT football season, for those of you needing clarification).

SPRING OFFICIALLY ARRIVES

So, the calendars say that spring arrives on March 20th, but as we approached that day, the general 'feel' in Los Angeles about the season change was blasé at best. The weather change was sluggish, as temperatures were climbing, but still not spring-like; the plants had no blooms or smells; birds were nowhere to be found; and the people were staying indoors and dressing like it was still winter. What to do, what to do?

What quote has inspired you lately?

I love this one, not only because I dance; not only because I have volunteered at an alternative cancer treatment facility and been an unpaid writer; but also, because I have loved and been hurt:

'Work like you don't need the money;
love like you've never been hurt;
and dance like you do when no one is looking.....'


I just heard this one tonight on sports talk radio. The show's host was a bit overzealous and overly optimistic about Kobe Bryant's return from injury before the all-star break, and this is how his guest, a sports medicine doctor retorted:

"Men make plans, and God laughs."


And this, of course, is from one of my biggest childhood influences, Henry David Thoreau, in his immortal text, Walden:

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler."


Wow, these really get my juices flowing; but I've always been moved by the written word....
How about you? What quotes have inspired you lately? Please comment with the quote of your choosing....

Thanks!
