Maybe I’m just too easily impressed, but seeing this custom Akomplice x All Us Winter X-Games skateboard deck with my name on it at last Thursday’s party was really cool (and I know I’m not the only one that thought so…lol). With more than 50 sponsors contributing a wide variety of iddish for giveaways (the gift bags were INSANE) and all the chaos of a packed party I didn’t catch which one of the numerous companies involved made the deck, but it was the craziest of a bunch of dope giveaways. Anyways, I imagine there’ll be more details on the Akomplice site when they post up pictures/video from party sometime soon, stay tuned for a link.
THURSDAY, 1/22 -> Yep, it’s that time of year again. Winter X-Games fever has hit Colorado and anyone who doesn’t hate the winter is excited for them to start on Thursday. Akomplice & All Us Shred Magazine are gettin things off to a dope start at one of Aspen’s best spots, Club Chelsea, with the Local Launch featuring music by me and two of Aspen’s finest, Deeogee & Big O Tone. It’s the only party at the Winter X-Games thrown by companies from here in Colorado, there’s gonna be giveaways from everybody with a logo on the flyer above & since it’s one of the only big parties open to the public on Thursday, you better come out early (last time I DJed at the X-Games the party hit capacity within fifteen minutes of opening the door and it was one in, one out for the rest of the night, PLEASE make sure you come early). 21+ / 415 E Hyman Ave in Aspen.

TUESDAY, 1/20 -> Come join me, DJ Squirt & Boo Bear on inauguration night at Cherry Creek’s Bar Luxe as we get the next 4 years off to a great start. The vibe at the spot is cool, we’ve got a bunch of specials (on everything from champagne to beer to martinis) & of course, dope music with an extra motivational/political feel (I’ve got some great stuff to play, trust). Come put the perfect wrap on a great day in American history with us. Downstairs at 231 Milwaukee St (2 blocks north of the Cherry Creek Mall) / 21+ / No Cover / Music at 9.
* PS The image above is a piece done by Chris Cox aka Change The Thought, one of my favorite artists in Denver. His art won’t be at Bar Luxe on Tuesday, but he’s an AMAZING artist who you should look into regardless.
SUNDAY 1/18 at 10 pm est -> The day before the XM/Sirius merger, me, TM & Aeon all recorded an episode of Subsoniq Radio while we were on the Hiero tour. Well with the merger shaking things up, the episode didn’t get to air as scheduled this summer. Now that XM & Sirius have sorted things out, you can catch the Tanya Morgan Subsoniq Takeover on air tonight on Hip Hop Nation – channel 67 on XM Radio, channel 40 on Sirius or channel 847 on Direct TV.
We talked about the tour (everything from trannies in New Orleans to cockroaches the size of baby feet in hotel rooms), as well as the TM/88 Keys collab, TM’s acclaimed Bridge EP & a lot more, and we played a lot of rare/unreleased TM/Low Key/Aeon joints, you don’t wanna miss it. If you don’t have Sirius XM and want to listen to the show, you can get a free trial subscription at listen.xmradio.com. Last but not least, definitely stay tuned to Subsoniq Radio w/Doc & KB, it’s one of the best hip hop shows out right now.
If you know me, then you probably know Tanya Morgan, the group I DJ for. And if you know Tanya Morgan, then you better know Ilyas aka I-El, even though he’s most elusive member of the group. Well Il decided to get 2009 off to a good start with this free solo project, titled the Prelude. It’s an introduction to Ilyas/I-El the solo artist & a preview of what’s to come. Check it out and stay tuned for monthly videos from the project courtesy of Ilyas the director, coming soon…
