WCC Live @ BALANCE this Saturday June 6th
This Saturday June 6th
the WCC will be back at what has become almost a
rotating residency at our favorite house club,
BALANCE. Dustin, Kevin
and myself will be playing for another 6
hours. We will be recording again to post
the set in the near future. Actually
chances are that you will soon be getting 12
hours of live music from the WCC since I still
have to post the set from our last time there
which was April 25th. I still have to
index that 6 hour set and I've been busy with
work so it's my fault it isn't up yet but soon I
promise.
If you live in Los Angeles or are going to be
visitng the city on that date please come hang out
with us. It's always a good time and I love
to meet people who support us.
BALANCE at King King. 6555 Hollywood Blvd. @
Whitley.
Enter in back.

WCC RADIO EP-018 is ready
I'm very happy with this show. I got to experiment again with some accapellas and some live edits using 3 decks. You will hear that with Osulande's "Momma's Groove" and Jay-J's "Keep on Rising". I have to give props to Yogi and Huski from Random Soul cause I heard them do that live edit of "Keep on Rising" and I thought I give it a try. I also found some great house remixes of Janis Joplin and the Doors. If you don't now who those artists are then I feel like a relic. I wasn't sure about these cause it's real hard to do a house remix of a classic rock tune that is not cheesy but Latenight Society and Mr Patron came through with two of my favorite tracks from this month. Check out "Southern Comfort" and "Storm Riding".
About a third into the show the set gets real Jackin' and Funky with great tracks by Tommy Largo and Jazzy Eyewear but the highlight and my favorite track this month is the craziest and funkiest in the set. It is courtesy of two guys from Belgrade, Serbia who go by the name of Gramophonedzie. "Why Don't You" is one of most creative house tracks that I've heard in a while. It guarantees to get the party started where ever you play it. It's not for nothing it is in the top 5 of almost every House Music download retailer. I played in Belgrade a few years ago with Jon Silva of Pesto Music but I don't think these guys were around then. I would have love to have met them.
The set ends with and old forgotten B-side from Naked Music and Miguel Migs. If it wasn't for my compadre Dustin Brown of the WCC I would have completely let this track go into House memory lane. I heard him play it during one of our jam sets and it reminded me why I felt in love with the West Coast Sound. This Atjazz remix of "Take Me to Paradise" is everything that is right with sexy soulful House. If you like it then you will like Dustin's new mix that will be up soon that includes this track and many more like it to bring you back to circa 2000 when Naked Music was in his glory days.
You can of course do a direct download of the show on my radio page or you stream the show online or subscribe to the podcast on SS Radio UK.
WCC RADIO EP-017 available for download
You will also find a lot of these tracks (and more) in the last recording the WCC did at BALANCE on April 25th. We have another 6 hour set that will be available for download soon. The live recording from March 14th is available now. Don't forget to rate EP-017 after you've listen to it. Thanks!
WCC back at BALANCE April 25th.
The West Coast Collective is back at Los Angeles' primo House club, BALANCE, for another full 6 hour of soulful and funky beats. Dustin, Torin and myself will start taking out those summer tunes to welcome the the hot Californian summer nights that are on the way. Join us on the dance floor April 25th.
