Introducing a new concept for this year's WMC, Hot Natured is about artists setting free their undiscovered house and electronic disco treats.
A rare chance to witness alternative sets from some of techno's most sought-after new stars, providing insight into the varying sides of their musical personality.
Guests already announced include Craig Richards, the legendary Fabric resident and Jamie Jones, the future face of techno whose debut album will be released this summer on Crosstown Rebels.
Also on the bill are Lee Foss, the Chicago-born DJ responsible for seminal parties at the Buddha lounge and resident at LA's renowned techno shindig Droog as well as the Droog DJs, who have been responsible for throwing LA's nightlife into the spotlight. Surprise sets from old school heroes are to be announced in the coming weeks as will the location of this prolific affair.
Closing the week's festivities in true party spirit, Hot Natured announces a dancefloor friendly assault and an evening of musically-infused revelations.

I went to my first Shoddy's music event.. I took some press shots while things were setting up.. some beats to soak in on Sunday.

I shot Mark Kane on Saturday night, we went over a style, and then I pulled it off in my parking garage. Brick looks gnarly @ f11.
Friends, if you want to see the whole set, shoot me a message.. these are some of my favs.
I've always loved how I run my photo-blog, it is very quick, concise and the quality is all there.
But, for the past year, I've always wondered if I should think of a catchy business name/spinoff...
Sometimes it's hard to remember.. or you could butcher the URL and never find my site..
soltis, solstice, saltis, whatever. ;)
kind of like chipa-topa-lay when you mean chipotle.. jack in the box anyone?
chipoodle!!!
So, before Miami season, I will have shirts,flyers and free promo CD's from some of my favorite DJ's in the archive.
2YEARS later.. a lightbulb went off in my head.. so I changed it out with a CFL. ;)
and I am happy to announce
NIGHTMOVES.ME and THENIGHTMOVES.ME
as my own sister domains..
same photoblog,same access to all the great weekly galleries.
Now you can say...
The night moves me

Had about 6 galleries that I submitted get picked over the course of 2008, moreso picking up around the summer with our awesome string of standard parties+cinespace.
We have Gui Borotto,Lawler,Magda,Drumcode night,Bill Patrick and Burridge + a few more.
I'm really happy to showcase this for the year, enjoy.
Thanks RA!

Plus I can finally speak ;) COMPRESSION: mini-magazine coming soon. :)
In a city where movie stars and models reign supreme, the dedicated crew who run the revered techno night Compression have steadfastly seen their party through a litany of memorable events. On November 28th, Compression will mark its third anniversary with a post turkey day blowout featuring Funk D'Void and Mistress Barbara at Cinespace. A slew of other cool shows are confirmed well into 2009, featuring the likes of Cassy, Anja Schneider, Christian Martin and Mike Shannon. Big Shot caught up with Compression's founder and managing director, Robtronik, and got the lowdown on the party which has featured genre stalwarts such as Steve Bug (pictured above), Richie Hawtin and Josh Wink.
After you've recovered from that food coma, it's time to hit the club. Friday after Thanksgiving, Compression celebrates three years at the heart of Los Angeles' techno renaissance with Funk D'Void and Mistress Barbara providing the soundtrack at CineSpace.

Thanks beatportal and damien.
Matt and Jaren Cerf produce&record dance tracks and have become some of Trance/House music heros. Matt's unique production style and Jaren's Vocals made for one of Dance music's biggest productions of 2007. Light the skies.
We have been friends since I took on my dance music career in photography. They had just finished green screening a music video and had extra studio time.
I setup for an hour or two and had some fun!
Another e-flyer.

Used my images from the last Pan Pot.
It's time to take the crown, to the underground. ;)

READ IT ALL:
As Hunter S. Thompson might say, Hollywood is a cruel and shallow money trench, a plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.Ever since the booming 1930's movie industry, Hollywood's reputation has been double-sided.......
I just dug this one out of the archives and retouched it.
At bunker; we dance and laugh and sing, I took this in the early morning.
