I’m back from SXSW and I must say as overwhelming as it was, the trip was mad fun. I barely had time to get to most of the performances and DJ sets I wanted to hear. A Big Thanks to the folks who attended the Billboard Showcase we did on Friday night as well as everyone who rocked with us at The Back Alley Social Club on Saturday. It was nice to see so many familiar faces from across the country in one place ready to hear some dope music. And thanks also to everyone who passed off promo CDs. I have joints to listen to for the next couple of weeks so Big Up.

Here’s a lil promo for y’all too.

My man Mr. Lif’s album will be out next month (April 21, 2009 to be exact). And for those of you who ran into us in Austin, you may have gotten the I Heard It Today Mixtape mixed by yours truly. We had some fun making that joint for y’all. For those of you who didn’t get a copy, here’s the new single from the album.

Enjoy. Share this with your DJ pals and other music lovers.

I’ll post pics from the trip soon.  I intended to film footage for ill! TV but it just didn’t pan out that way unfortunately.  I’ll have a much better plan of action for the festival next year and make it happen.  Also, don’t expect to see us at WMC this week as we will not be making it this year.  I have way too much prepping to do for the tour I have coming up starting in a couple weeks.

Please check out the 50th episode of The Difference for some good tunes to get y’all in motion for all the dancing you’ll do if you are making the trek to Miami for the conference this year. Enjoy the fun, sun, and buns. Ha!

This past week was the shizzle. I say some variation of that a lot but I have to admit that rocking with Rich Medina on more than one night in the same week is a rare privilege that I had over the past 6 days or so.  From APT to Santos to the love at The Walnut Room, I felt like I was on a mini tour from Philly to New York.  One love to all the family from both of my two favorite cities who showed love at each party. Y’all know how to make a bro-ham feel like the recession is over. Sheesh.  No love at all to my hard drive for bugging out at the height of the jam on Saturday night though. WTF was up with that?  Inquiring minds with sweated out perms would like to know!

Okay, I’ve been yapping about Saturday nights to you all and I’ve seen a bunch of y’all in the place. To all of you folks, even if you’ve only made it through a couple times, THANKS, and you know how we do. What I’m posting in this update could be considered a stern and hearty thank you.  For the folks that haven’t made it, the mix below is a small example of what I’ve been doing on any given night at The Walnut Room.  It’s a mix that is a little more contemporary than most of you will be used to hearing from me but eff it. I don’t think I have anything else to prove to myself or followers. Clearly I can hang with the best of the crate diggers, deep house heads, techno-junglist UFO pant, old school boot camp clique hip hop nazi, Jansport types.  Been there and not only done that but done that very well. This night I’ve been posting pictures of is strictly about the simplistic essence of what partying has always been about for me.  FUN. Although I’m always going to naturally push the envelope, sometimes I just wanna hear some good ole tunes I know the words to. Therefore this mix, hosted by my man, Hezekiah inspired by the weekly love and support in Philly, is titled simply, Classic. And much like the party we enjoy so much, you can expect to hear everything from Missy Elliot to Black Milk to Frankie Beverly to Usher. Let’s go there. Click below for the mix. On the media page of my site, you can both listen to and download it. There are physical copies of this joint floating around as well. Enjoy!

And now for some pics of the past few nights.  I know I know.  It all looks like the same 2 nights I’m posting images of.  My mans and them will be sending me pics of other things I have going on in my life. But til then, “This is it. What!” (c) Camp Lo.
