Have you heard this new one from Fitz and the Tantrums? I’ve been playing it for a few weeks now and it’s killing on the dancefloor. Check it out!

Bainbridge Island Street Dance
While working on music ready for this year’s street dance, I started looking through my pictures from last year. Wow! What a great show that was! Continue reading
Seattle Wedding at Alexis Hotel
One of the many great things about the legalizing of same sex marriage in Washington is that we’ve become a destination wedding site for many same sex couples. I can’t begin to tell you how happy it makes me to work with all of these couples who finally have the right to marry! Continue reading
Glorious Hipster Wedding at Hotel Ballard
Every year there are just a few weddings that stand out above the rest for one reason or another. Not only was this wedding at Hotel Ballard one of my favorites of the year, it’s definitely now an all-timer! Continue reading
Lighting Up the Night at Robinswood House
This wedding was my first opportunity to work a wedding at Robinswood House and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. This place is gorgeous! Add in that gorgeous venue with a clear, sunny Seattle summer day and a really fun couple and you get one of my favorite weddings of the year! Continue reading
Feelin Good in the Spring!
Sometimes Spotify hits it just right. I was listening to a station I have built on Hemiplegia from Haerts this morning and I hit this AWESOME series of songs. Listen to all three and I swear you’ll be in a great mood!
Holy Crap New from The Grouch!
I love when I hear people complain about the current state of hip hop. This only happens because they’re limiting themselves to what’s being pushed by the mainstream. The truth is that the current state of hip hop is FANTASTIC!
Why? Because of people like The Grouch. Keeping with the Pacific Northwest style of upbeat, positive music and lyrics, this new song, All In, is my feel good song of the year!
This was requested at a wedding I played back in February at 1927 Events in downtown Seattle and I nearly pooped myself when I saw it on the request list. It went over SO well and the staff loved it, too! Check it out!
New Music from Augustines!
Now, you know I’m a music geek. I’m also kind of a locavore, so I really geek out when I find great new music that’s also local.
Enter the new album from Seattle band Augustines, formerly We Are Augustines. I first heard this on KEXP in October and they dragged out the release FOREVER!
Well, it’s finally out and you need this! Really, you need it!

DJ Set From C89.5
The past week I’ve been going through a lot of the deep, dark corners of my music database. What I have here is a set that I played on C89.5 a few years ago. It was a pretty awesome opportunity to play this show since playing mobile events can be a little musically restricting. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, but I do have tons of music that will probably never see the light of day and this was a rare opportunity to play some of my favorite tunes.
This rides the line between progressive house and trance and is pretty high energy throughout. Enjoy!
