Come out! As we speak! :D

BOOGIE!

Besides being just a great hat shop in general, Goorin Bros. Hat Shop once again decided to throw yet another fun shingdig for all you hip hop lovers to come out to (local music? Oh SSSSSSNAPSSS!!!").

Besides serving your usual free cups of champagne, mixed liquor and primo beer, Goorin Bros. also has a great selection of great hats to choose from.



(Homies over hoes.. check The Boondocks if you don't know what I mean..)

See you guys here!! If I don't see you... Have a Happy New Year Regardless!!

Goorin's Holiday Party

Kickin' it with DJ Pryme at the Goorin's hat store located on 45th Street on the Ave though I DO have a final tomorrow (for a class I haven't been to in like.. a month...?!?!)...

My father has flown back from Seoul... if you don't know, Sam Lee is one of the biggest influences in my life as far as music goes (wait a sec... shouldn't he be anyhow??). We will be working on a collaboration mixtape in which I will be releasing a lot of fusion, jazz, funk and breaks laid over with riffs and plenty of fresh guitar solos... Don't sleep!

Argh! I shouldn't be this faded though before a final!... Not good!!!!!

I'M AT YOUR SESSION DAWG! VOL. 1 !!!!

How is everyone??

It's getting colder, so being stuck inside a 30F* room, I decided on making an unedited mixtape that will only improve my "on-the-spot" experience (so if I ever play live, I might sound a LITTLE better than the next DJ... Don-cha Think?). There were also a bunch of mistakes I noticed while/after recording, but hey, this is the first volume in it's series, so isn't it supposed to suck? DJ's aren't perfect, we all make mistakes, so this mixtape is what it's supposed to be: a real mixtape, not a perfect one.

THIS MIXTAPE IS OFFICIALLY 25.564% MISTAKE FREE!!! OH BOY OH BOY!!!


DJ FISH BOOGIE - I'M AT YOUR SESSION DAWG! VOL. 1

Frostbite event? Oh, it just motivated me to work harder. That's all. :O

Updates Updates Updates!

How is everyone doing?

Anyone read those old Mazinger Z comics from back in the day? Came across a new series that was created, but much more sinister (as well as not kid friendly...Yikes!) Mos definitely check it out if you're a fan of old Mecha comics and fighting robots





KSA Night is coming up this weekend. Hope to see you folks there!!

It's been a long time since there was a last post!!... Here's a few things going on at the moment:

1. $$$ CHA-CHING. Payroll baby!!!

2. Vegas Nights: VSA/Puzzle Entertainment



It was a fun night, full of heavily intoxicated folks who wished the bars were open all night because this night was BANGIN'. With DJ Lourawk and myself on the 1's and 2's, there's nothing short of what we would call "fun":



Notice baby girl's pinky... she can't close it because she cut her nerve cutting me an apple! I'm so sorry about that!!



It was packed... :P

3. KSA Frostbite Event: I'll be going over that after next week... December 5th is the night ladies, so be sure to catch your girls and yourself in your best dresses, men, please DO NOT ROCK NICE SNEAKERS... expect to get stepped on throughout the night.

Just lookin' out for the homies... But yes, full update next week!

This kid has been eating his vegetables... DAMN.

Speechless!

Safe Futures: Back to School Jam Oct. 3

This was probably one of those jams where a lot of different things going on in the event just made it much more memorable... There were a few funny battles, as well as moments where the host would crack real mean jokes (although hilarious). I had a lot more fun with this jam than any other ones in the past for... quite awhile now actually?

After last night I have come to a realization that I just need to work harder in the things I love doing. So hopefully this post will be some sort of reminder to me in the future.

More events coming soon! This Thursday, EQPT is having a back to school event (that is being DJed by yours truly and DJ Lourawk). See you guys there!

BOOYAH!

I'll be kickin' it there with the guys from PRC/EQPT, as well as my boy DJ Lourawk out at the EQPT store here in University District. Bout to be spending time cuttin' up bits and pieces of a bunch of new instrumentals I'm hoping people will be bouncin' over... as well as plenty of drinks, a 30% discount, and a fun time! Only drawback is, all the fun and games will begin at 12PM-5PM, which means you'll see me tipsy 2PM in the afternoon.. LOL.

See you all there hopefully!

The REAL streets

Real legitimate street hip hop. Word up.

Mystikal Powers

Mystikal... wait... NOOOOOOO!!!!!

NOT FOR THE KIDS!! DO NOT WATCH IF YOUS A KID! 18+

Dwele - Travelin' Girl

Enjoy folks.

Crown J aka Jailbaited!!!

First off, by mentioning I had come to the rescue last minute, ON THEEEEEE day of the event, everyone should be in the seat of position where you should be saying "Fish, you deserve a gold star for being patient with everyone." Yes, I deserve a gold star, and MORE:

Upon getting there I was greeted by all the promoters and Korean Reality-TV Celeb-Gone-Rap Superstar Crown J (whom didn't even bother to give me his name when I first met him... alright?). After setting up and finishing the soundcheck, I prompted myself toward getting some food in my systems--to which we (being PRC Clothing staff + Friends and myself) walked to a McDonald's (remind me later why the hell McDonald's looks so different now, I can't find shit on the menu anymore). We head back toward the venue so we could finally start the show.

While the lights are dimmed inside the room where the stage was in, I began to adjust my eyes to the bright lights that were burning holes through my eye sockets. I had realized how many people have already went inside the building (what an astounishing number of korean girls... all ranging from 14-20!...uh...Jailbait?).

The show went on, and we had fun doing so. Won't go too much into details about that, but what I learned from this bittersweet experience is that you could never really be too trusting toward anyone backstage... truth of the matter is, without your Dj, you ain't much of a show... just a jukebox with an emcee.

Thunder Clapz!

Oh my Goodness!

WARNING: Viewer Discretion Advised 18+ Y.O. or NOT FOR THE KIDS!!

Getting more work done as soon as I get the tracks from my new friend Ca$hflow, who is an emcee residing in Arkansas/Colorado being sponsored by PRC Clothing (or the People's Clothing). Peep his myspace for his music:

http://www.myspace.com/cashflowdbc

Probably will contain other artists as well, although I am not 100% informed of who's contributions will be in the tracks, but I assure you it will be a good mix indeed.

As for other news, I am currently working on multiple self-produced beats, all of which have a wide variety in genre (ranging from house to hip hop) with none having an exact deadline on it.

Here's a track most of you would probably enjoy also, not sure if you are into catchy tunes, but hope it works out:

My next track release for the Chrono Trigger Remix album is aiming toward next week. On the track I decided to use my good friends Emcee Inglish and Noah to spice up the song.

Also, can everyone NOT throw events at China harbor please? It is SOOOO anti-fun.

CHRONO TRIGGER FAN?

If you like Chrono Trigger... this is the track for you my friends.

http://www.zshare.net/download/6115827843ad5c15/

It's the start of a new album I will be working on all summer. I'll be taking samples from Chrono Trigger and making them into full fledged beats alongside hip hop artists such as Twista, Sonny Cheeba, and many more. Tell me what you all think!

Finished the mixtape!

Hey ya'll, a few updates for what's coming up:

- I was unable to fly out to Las Vegas for the Rival Schools jam, turns out due to my irresponsibility of buying my ticket on time, it prevented me from wanting to spend an extra few hundred dollars on a trip that would only last for about 3 days or so... Stupid me. I lost such a big opportunity. "Maybe next time Fish.. maybe next time."

-I finally uploaded my "I LOVE SHARK WEEK VOL. 1 BREAKS" mixtape. Look below for the download link, since I find it pretty useless to repost the album cover again and rewrite another amazing post about how awesome my mixtape is (it's super awesome sharks-and-gay-fish-touching action makes you wanna jump into some water if you know what I mean). Download that shit, PLEASE! I'll probably check it out myself to see how well it turned out (although I KNOW I could've made a more perfect mix... we live and learn).

-School is kicking my ass!!!!!.... My priorities as a student have fallen short of my dream of becoming one of the best breaks Dj's in the world. Yes, I am going to write it, ONLINE, and straightforwardly. My dream goal is to travel to all the major bboying spots (Europe, Russia, Asia, shit, everywhere!) and "plant my music seed" into all the listeners I meet. It sounds corny as hell... but damn, as the great Christopher Reeves said:

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

I am someone important, and someone to remember. Think about it.

SDV CREW.

Oh, and if you guys got the time, peep my boy DJ Lourawk's blog as well. The guy is probably one of the most creative people I know, as well as one of the biggest homies since he helped clean up puke I found in front of my bedroom door when I was throwing a party. Half drunk as hell, and still a homie. Can't find that too often. Damn.

Here's also the link to the new mixtape if you guys are too lazy to scroll down to find my other post.

White People Know How to Party

My title says it all. They are the ones who are down for anything, will dance on and offbeat to a Brittney Spears song, and will be usually the first ones to hunt down the Dj to tell him "You're the shit! I love you man!!"

White people, if you are reading this and seeing yourself nodding your head, you really should be. From what I've witnessed from frat parties thus so far, white people really, are the ones who seem to have the most fun at the worst places possible, meaning that they are perhaps one of the most optimistic groups of people ever.

By the time I was shaking my head in disappointment after listening to Soulja Boy's new cut that has him using one of those retarded autotune voices (robot voice HAHA) I saw white people learning the new dance to a song that had just come out (DO DAH STANKY LEGGGG, DO DAH STANKY LEGGGGGG).

They really know how to have fun, ranging from the big jock football players, to the big white girls who's wearing that super low cut shirt to holla at the DJ when he decides to sneak a look at her...when he decides to that is.

To end this post since I am killing super time in my Philosophy lecture... White people, my announcement to you!:

GRAB YOUR DRINKS.
DANCE HARD.
SAY WSUP TO THE DJ.
DANCE WITH THE LADIES.
DO THA CAVEMAN.

(I literally saw someone toss a girl over his shoulders, scanned the room with the biggest bloodthirsty look, then walk out flexing as many muscles as possible, alpha male status)

Get money... Get paid.

Schools For Fools 3

So, I am sitting here spending my last night, surrounded mostly by people I have just met during the course of last weekend, many of whom which it is the first time actually hanging out with. Just to reflect, there's just a few new things I have learned from traveling out here to the LAX:

-Try to communicate your needs directly and immediately. There had been times where I had felt utterly isolated amongst a group of people I have met for the first time-with it I usually forget their names if there's too many people-and actually become... quiet? I realized that for some reason I actually start feeling uncomfortable about being there, despite being someone who's open.

-I'm starting to really feel the adrenaline rush and enjoyment in spinning out of state. I literally felt shaky, nervous and sweaty standing behind the turntables. There was this tingling sensation that made me feel like, "hey, I am probably the most important person in this room right now... cool!"

-LA Korean BBQ is indeed one of the best places I have eaten at in my life. Not only did I get the opportunity to eat it once, but in fact, I ate it twice! Firstly, the $12.99 deal for unlimited bbq is ridiculous... with about 6-8 different choices of meats, it's really hard to go wrong. The restaurant afterward however was pretty tasty too. I can truly understand why LA was the originators of the Korean Galbi.

-MIXTAPES AND BUSINESS CARDS ARE CRUCIAL! Let me tell you... sheesh, I just know I need to go out and make more more more!!

-FB

The new mixtape! YEP!

Not quite sure why the background or the shark's eyes are a different color, but this is pretty much the layout of my new mixtape I will be releasing this weekend (minus the weird colors... eww) exclusively for the first time (I'm getting SOOOOO O-fish-al now BWHAHAHA!...). Pretty excited to fly out again, this time to an entirely new environment--I had gone to the LAX a few months ago but only went to a jam and straight back, no time to really enjoy anything out there... Hopefully the lovely people of the LAX will love me and I would be a happy Dj for the entire weekend. :]

Are you guys ready for it? I'm obviously not, but somehow, it'll work itself out.

Bleh for finals, hope everyone is faring well... DO WORK, HAVE FUN NOW! DENG SAUCE!

Edit: The Mixtape upload you all were waiting for:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8C57SR64

YIK! No new updates... shame on me!

Alas, I am sitting here in my underwear contemplating whether or not to cram for the last hour or so before I head out for one of my finals that I didn't really go to in my Scandinavian Children's Literature class. I suppose a lot of things have been happening since I last posted an update a few weeks ago:

1. Fat Laces - Truly a fun experience up in Shoreline, it was great to know that I was doing well off after the first hour, then slowly started keeping the same pace or so the rest of the event. Looking out into the crowd and seeing that everyone else is feeling what I was playing made my night (despite frantically looking for the next song to play... it's such a pain!). You can peep the battles I Djed for on youtube at www.recbattles.com.

2. Winter Storm - This dude was shady! I'm not even going to lie, first off, PLEASE never promise someone a certain amount of money, not contact them UNTIL the day before your event, and have your DJ call YOU instead of yourself (it's your job promoter!!). Good thing I declined his offer of a meager $75 + a contract saying he would happily pay the rest of the money within "a week or so"--I really can't trust guys like these... I've lost so much money in the past from these type of guys!!!!!!! From this event I lost $25 from canceling a lousy hotel down there... thanks a bunch man!

3. LAX - Schools For Fools - WOO! First event I will be spinning at out of state! I really am excited to see what it's like out there, knowing that most of my music will be much different from what they normally play since Seattle has a different scene compared to the LAX area. Hoping to meet lots of new people down there and fully appreciating the essence of traveling and sightseeing... and it's only one week away! SHEESH!

4. Vegas? I should be flying out again there sometime in April, just have to make a few contacts to see if that's still going down, yet again, I will be excited for that most definitely!

5. Misc. Events - Music4Life, a semi-formal, and maybe a few parties are heading my way just in this springtime. I really haven't been digging around for new joints for the club, so I should be getting on that, stat.

Wow, March is just a crazy month for me, for Djing as well as many other things coming up just because the sun is out now:

-Managed to book a few gigs outside of WA for once! First off, big THANK YOU's to Just-roc (Battle Snakes) for even considering me to Dj for his event out in LAX, as well as a hug THANK YOU to Chai (Runaway Tribe) for an opportunity as well to fly out in April. Few parties here and there, as well as gaining a closer step toward those frats/sorority gigs.

-DIG! I need to do that, I haven't been out to a record store in ages!! SHEESH!

-After registering today for school, I realized how much I hated the system for signing up at UW. I managed to lose 2 out of the 3 classes I wanted to have picked for the Spring quarter, so to replace it, I am now taking two semi-difficult classes (well, classes that would require more attention than I have been giving school for the last.... year and a half HAHA).

Here's the link to the mix, the latest compilation of different vibes, genres, or whatever you'd like to call it. It's all breaks of course:

Fish Boogie - Sneak Peek Mix Vol. 1

Peep it, and if you like it, hate it, or just wanna holler at your boy, you know where to contact me!

-Fish Boogs of the Ocean

Quickie

First off, I'd like to thank all those who have given me (or even considered giving me) the opportunity to spin at their events, whether it's a house party, club, bboy event, any little bit at the moment is helping me put myself out on the map (and hopefully stacking that paper soon WOOP WOOP)! It's always such a good feeling at the end of the day, realizing you have made about 50-100 people's night experience something to remember about (what you know about those panty droppers? LOL).

My boy DJ Lourawk and I were KILLIN' it on the tables last night (house party at my friend's). We really didn't even have to touch anything above the 102 bpms just because we had so much material, I figured we didn't even need to go any faster (or slower) all night. At some point in the night we had about a good amount of people dancing, enough for the floors to be sticky and slippery (from condensation.... disgusting).

Upon arriving at Jack in the box at around 3AM, I had a realization that we just got ourselves a little bit more ahead than before with making the "DJing" dream come true. With the coming newer gigs (as well as club nights with Lou, YEAH THAT'S MY BOYYYY) I feel like this may be taking us in a direction that will be... quite interesting. I'm actually curious about how things will unravel, and how we shall overcome it. I'm just lucky to have such a good partner starting off (most definitely).

So, to be a bit more stricter with myself, starting this week I will be making weekly mixes to see my own progression with mixtapes and if I do feel it necessary, I will put them online for all of you lovers/haters to download to throw on your ipod, cellphone, myspace, facebook, whatever the hell you use to communicate and flaunt your style. GIT IT!

It's time to get a bit more serious than before. As winter is melting away, I hope that as Spring arrives, I will do a bit more about "Spring cleaning" my priorities as well as my room.

RESURRECTION: The mixtape that never came..

So, beyond ALL comprehension of how long I said I was going to take on my new mixtape... it merely took about an hour to finish it (roughly about 30 minutes recording, 30 minutes to upload and edit.... yeaozah!). I feel that this mixtape was thrown together because:

a. I needed updated material to show my investee's how proficient I was in mixing

b. I needed to update this blog by actually posting something important than just another "rant!"

c. Looking back at the date of when I said I was going to finish my mixtape gave me sore eyes and a few teardrops fell as I realized that I was not only just a week overdue... but MONTHS. NO GOOD!!!!

So peep the new mixtape ya'll, tell me what you think, and make your bed go BOOM BOOM!

-FB

PS. I realize this isn't a breaks mixtape. It isn't.

PSS. I'll be putting that together when I start collecting joints for a few newer jams I'll be spinning at for the next few months... LAX HURR I COME!!!!

PSSS. All photos are copyrighted toward their rightful owners and that Google is just a nice tool I like to use to find some of these photos. Please don't sue me. I promise I'll be better with originality, but for now, this will suffice.
