FOOL’S GOLD

I don’t even know what time zone I’m in anymore. I just know I have a couple of pictures from last weekend that I wanted to post, so that warrants a blog post. (more…)

The long-awaited debut from ATL producer turned BK neighbor Treasure Fingers is finally out, and we are psyched.

“Cross The Dancefloor” has been turning out dancefloors all year long as a pre-release, and this official, newly mixed and mastered version knocks extra hard. We’ve gone and backed it with huge remixes from Laidback Luke, Lifelike and Curses!, along with a handy “Shake-A-Pella” for all your mixing needs. “MASSIF CHUNES!” as they say.

2×12″ gatefold vinyl will be here any day now is available now, and you can also purchase it digitally on all online stores: TTL, Juno, iTunes, Beatport and everywhere else.

The fine folks at Guvernment have got you covered tonight (6.30) with a massive, multi-room party featuring our own LA Riots and Treasure Fingers, as well as pals like Laidback Luke, Klever, Kill the Noise and many, many more. Check the full-size giant rave flyer (remember the folding joints?!) here and see full line-up and ticket info here.

Time for one of my long-winded tour novelas. I recently wrapped up a European tour that spanned the whole month of May, one which I arbitrarily named the Upper Crust Tour at the last minute, in honor of that beloved chain of sandwich shops found in almost all train stations. After doing a whole bunch of tours with other people — the Fool’s Gold fam, Mehdi, Kanye, etc — I felt like going off to clubland (Europe) and back to raw DJing practically every night for 4 weeks. Of course I wasn’t literally by myself the whole month. In most cities I was sharing bills with friends from either continent. But it did feel like a pilgrimage to the land of the DJ, and on off-days I would often link up with other producers and work on music. I loved it. I started a Flickr page towards the beginning of my trip so you can catch my full set of pics here. Let’s dive into it. (more…)
