Look Back at 2009

Well this year has definitely been an exciting and eventful one!  It started out with me making a decision to be much more consistent with posting podcast episodes and I have had a lot of fun recording and posting them each month!

In April, I took my first trip to Harleysville, PA to DJ at The Gates.  It was a great time and I had a lot of fun meeting Chris Le and everyone else who is a part of The Gates.  Unfortunately, I made a simple mistake of forgetting to save my set after recording it that night and was unable to post it online.  I learned from that mistake and made sure to double check my recordings from then on.

June was a very big month for me.  It is the month that my EP was released online and also at the end of June is the great Cornerstone Music Festival.  2009 was my third year at Cornerstone and it was an amazing time.  There is no where else that I can have the opportunity to hang out and DJ with great DJs like Joel Armstrong, DJ Modulation, Tim Richards, Dave Richards, Daalek and Aesias Finale.  (Podcast episode / Download available)

Once I returned home and recovered from Cornerstone festival I got right back to work and released a new track, Red Eye on PWM Records.  It’s great track and I am really happy with the way it came out.  It has gotten great responses from DJs and fans and has been featured on shows like the Dance Chapel. 

In August, my friends at Dream In Plastic had their Grand Opening in Beacon, NY.  Dream In Plastic started as a webstore and they opened a storefront in August and to help them celebrate, I recorded a special mix for their party.   Dream In Plastic was also nice enough to stock some of my CDs to sell!

In September, I was invited back to The Gates to DJ at their One Year Anniversary party.  Again it was a great night and there was even a surprise visit by Frankie Vibe and he closed out the night with an awesome Gospel House set. (Podcast episode / Download available)

Also in September, I was invited by the great members of HEAT Worship House to come up and DJ at their Psalm 119 Rave in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  We had some of the greatest hosts and so much fun meeting, hanging out, and DJing for the people there.  We fell in love with Canada and really had such a good relaxing time.

In the tail end of the year, I took some time to work in the studio some more on some new tracks that will be coming out this year.  Some of I have played in my podcast or posted on my SoundCloud page, some are still being perfected.  Keep an eye out on my website, twitter, facebook, or myspace pages for new releases because this year will be a big one!
