R.I.P. Michael Jackson Aug.29th 1958-June 25th 2009

2009-06-25T21:46:00.005-04:00

This is probably the hardest thing I ever had to post. I am still in shock! Today is the day the world stood still as news of Michael Jackson's death hit the airwaves. I refused to believe it (as tears rolled down my face). But when it was all said and done - what I thought was a dream was actually reality. Michael Joseph Jackson was pronounced dead today at 2:26pm. He was 50 years old.

Michael Jackson made me truly love music. His "Thriller" album was the 1st record (yes vinyl) I ever bought. I remember going into A&A Records on Yonge St. with my Mom in 1984 and handing over my $11.97 for that classic album. Today is one of the saddest days, but I will always remember Michael Jackson for the icon he was and will always be. From witnessing the "Victory Tour" 1984) at Exhibition Stadium to playing his joints in the clubs today. As A DJ, I will continue to pay respect to my personal favorite artist of all time! The world will truly miss 'The King Of Pop' - Michael Jackson.

Favourite Michael Jackson performance ever!

Jester 'Stylus' Experience Quote

2009-06-03T10:01:00.004-04:00

I was asked by Nurse Karen (of 'Soca Therapy' fame) for a quote on my 2009 Stylus DJ Award experience and here's what I had to say:

"It was honor to be a 5x nominee for the 2009 Stylus DJ Awards, but actually winning really surprised me. The competition was very serious in all the categories I was nominated in (College Radio, Club DJ, Toronto DJ, Myspace DJ Page, Soca DJ Of The Year). I was shocked to win 'College Radio Show Of The Year' 2 years in a row (for the 'Worldwide Wake Up Show' CIUT 89.5fm Thursdays 5:30-8am http://ciut.fm). I have to thank all those who have supported 'Worldwide' over the years. My goal with 'Worldwide' is to never make it sound cheap or unprofessional. I believe quality is important with whatever you do. Now to win 'Soca DJ Of The Year' was the real shocker. Definitely a competitive category (with Bandit, Soca Sweetness, MArXman, among others nominated in this category with me). I love calypso & soca a lot. I do so many things outside of soca music, but I always make sure I do at least 2 soca mixtapes a year and try my best to connect with the artists. I truly believe it is important to expose soca to the masses and break music. I believe that in any genre of music, but more so for soca. When I was a member of the KOS Family I was able to build with all of the artists that I met over the years and now as a member of the X-Caliber Entourage I see how hard it is for a soca artist to get his/her music heard since working with Dawg (Mr. Slaughter). My 2009 Stylus experience will defnitely be something to remember. Even if I don't win an award I truly believe having your name in a category with some of the countries best means alot. From DJ Wristpect, P-Plus, Ill Kids to Bandit, Soca Sweetness, & JUK, I am in good company and it shows my versatility even more."

Drake 'Live' at the Sound Academy!

2009-05-14T06:05:00.003-04:00

Last night I attended the highly anticipated Drake concert. I made a bet with a couple friends that this event would do over 1500 people. That it did. For those that don't know Toronto is known as the "screw-faced" capital of the world, so rocking a Toronto crowd is definitely a test.

I felt the love from the T-dot crowd towards Drizzy! From start to finish. I am very proud and happy for our city! From Saukrates, Kardinal Offishall, Melanie Fiona, Colin Munroe and Drake - Toronto is making noise. The 2000+ people who were in attendance at Drizzy's concert would agree. Its our time!

Last night proved to me that everyone in the Toronto industry has to step there game up now & forever. From promo to branding! It has to be done. It's time to shine!

Melanie Fiona - Give It To Me Right

I've been telling you for a while now that Melanie Fiona is the truth. Well today her video released for "Give It To Me Right". I met Melanie a long time ago when I was DJing Kardinal Offishall's Christmas Party 2-3 years ago. She performed at that event and I was blown away by how powerful her voice is. I've said it before and I will say it again - she has one of the best voices I have heard in awhile. Nowadays it seems like everyone is a singer (with or without autotune), but she is something special. Melanie Fiona... It's Not A Joke!

This has been a work week (not like every week isn't one)! So I gave u "Encore Vol.5: Breaking Hits" yesterday (scroll down) and I am excited to present my 2009 Groovy Soca mixtape "The Jester Experience". I got inspired to do it for a party I am doing for my boy Ian Andre Espinet called 'GroovEssentials' which a groovy soca party @IslandMix in PIckering (1050 Brock Rd)! So if u want a hard copy of the mixtape check that event. I am actually running late for a meeting so without further delay here it is....

I was on a fellow DJs blog page - my homie Baby Yu and stumbled on this clip and I could not stop laughing! Tears were rolling down my face. Uncontrollably! As someone said in the clip "you can't make this stuff up". It's amazing how a fart can just change the mood of any event, gathering, meeting, etc.

As a member of 'Smash Squad DJs', myself and Clinton Sparks have been friends for a few years now - this video says it all on how u hustle & grind. Many people talk about grinding but aren't really doing it. Have your foot in every angle, in every door of the industry. Whatever it is you want to do or achieve. Me... I do college radio (CIUT 89.5fm), commercial radio (Flow 93.5fm), internet radio (www.globe-radio.com) as well as mixtapes, clubs, touring, etc. Thats what we do! Non-stop! It's Not A Joke!

The All New Mac Mini

2009-03-16T15:47:00.000-04:00

For all you Mac fans (not the makeup company). Apple has released the new, more powerful Mac mini. The world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer. I was a PC user but Mac has me sold with this computer! Fast & efficient! Features: Intel Core 2 Duo processor, advanced NVIDIA graphics, and more, faster memory. And there’s plenty of storage space — up to 320GB. Mac mini includes five USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 800 port, so you can connect your keyboard, mouse, iPod, iPhone, digital camera, DV camcorder, external hard drive, printer, and any other peripherals you use. Mac mini even lets you connect up to two displays, including your TV, with the mini-DVI port and Mini DisplayPort.

DJs vs. The Industry vs. Other DJs

2009-02-08T18:25:00.000-05:00

Diddy sure created a lot of noise with his statement "DJs Killed Hip Hop". I have had discussions with promoters, music lovers & other DJs about this topic. One thing people fail to realize is that a DJ has to want to break records. A lot of DJs are just content playing there Top 40 hit list week after week and month after month. I agree that if a DJ is not breaking records, he is not doing his job. Especially if that DJ has a following and can create a hit by playing a joint nobody knows. Some people get into DJing for various reasons - whether it be the love of music, money, sex, or fame! From Kid Capri to DJ Drama, Starting From Scratch to Jazzy Jeff, or Clinton Sparks to yours truly... we all thrive off of new music. DJs not only have the power to break a hit, but also make the hits - the rest will follow! I am that DJ.

DIDDY'S RESPONSE TO THE DJ...

2009-02-05T23:37:00.000-05:00

Diddy had recently said that "DJs killed Hip Hop". Here is his response to "the DJ". Passion for music is real! Here's my take:

Let me say this... DJs didn't kill hip hop. Especially in Toronto.. As a DJ, if u are not playing new music and breaking records YOU ARE WACK! What ruined the life of a record is people relying on the mass media to dictate whether a record is a hit (i.e. BET, MTV, Much Music, etc.). Nowadays, DJs are searching for that next hit to say they broke it or played it first! Maybe some DJs don't take the risk in breaking a new record - but don't categorize us all the same way. I had the convo with many DJs - the "digital" game (Serato) can do 1 of two things... It makes a DJ even more creative & passionate or it makes them super lazy! Everyday is like Christmas to me... sometimes u get that record that blows you away. That would be like the "super gift"... that toy u wanted when u were a kid. Some tracks are like getting socks & underwear - just ordinary. Nothing exciting!

Basically... Don't blame all DJs! Those DJs who aren't willing to expand know who they are!

Trish has her own style and its like no other." says award winning Smash Squad DJ Jester, the music arbiter who officially presented the single. Like many of her listeners, he didn't need a second listen to jump on board with her career.
