We quite literally wouldn’t have made it here without our fellow Brooklyn-based-Cali-transplant KJ Butta.  Besides providing one of the most comfortable couches I’ve ever crashed on while we were looking for our spot upon our arrival from our epic road trip, he is also the owner of the dopest, most inspiring collection of 80’s media, including but not limited to an actual Captain Eo DVD. But even more fantastically, he’s one of the greatest DJs on both coasts, and can be found many a night at the Meatpacking District’s POP Burger.  Definitely one of our most supportive friends, and any given night you can hear him throwing the good peoples that you might normally hear in a club, such as Bambu, Blue Scholars, and even that one crew iLL-Lit.  Here’s a new mix he wove together entitled Good Breakfast Eatin’ and it’s setting my morning off right.  Your turn.

Meet DJ Phatrick. He has one of the most impeccable musical tastes ever in the world, ever, but a dry cynic’s humor so he never seems like a groupie, even to the musicians he jocks the hell out of. And now he has a blog. If you’re a fan of yummy music and asshole remarks that you secretly love, this is for you. DJPhatrick.com, snitches.

Now if you’re into that face-to-faceness instead of just interwebneraction (that’s a real word), come on over to Devil’s Pie in San Francisco on Thursday! Our Brooklyn iLL-Homie KJ Butta flies in to provide the goodies for a Motown Tribute! Light years ahead like a young Michael Jackson, baby!
