Saturday February 27th is the date. Two of Los Angeles’ heavy weight crews (we mean that literally cause we have Torin) will have it out and the battlefield will be BALANCE.
Get ready for The West Coast Collective vs The Three Amigos. Kevin, Dustin, Torin, and Ricardo of the WCC have been training hard and we have been practicing our ninja house moves to take on these worthy opponents. We are sure that Adam Auburn, DJ Depth, and David Bullock of the Amigos haven’t been sitting on their butts either.
Someone told us that one of their secret weapon move is something called the “Dirty Sanchez”. We’re not sure what that is but we have no fear cause Torin’s spatula can stop anything!
This epic legendary battle will be know in the history books as “Hollywoods HOUSE MUSIC NINJA Showdown”.
RSVP HERE to get in Free before 11pm!

On Wednesday November 4th I'll have the chance to play back in my hometown of Montréal at an event called "Les Mercredis DJ" which takes place at Mange Boire in Little Italy.  I will be playing with up and coming producer and DJ Bacanito who has had a few releases on UK's Baldeelox label.  It's going to be a really fun night of great people and great straight up House Music.  If you live in Montréal I hope you can stop by and say hi.  I will probably start spinning around 9 or 10pm.  I heard the food is fantastic there also so if you plan to come early and eat I suggest to make a reservation.

Mange Boire is at 6961 St-Laurent street / corner of Bélanger.  If you need to make reservations call 514-242-2316

Yes it's that time again.  The WCC will be doing their 6 hour little deal at BALANCE this Saturday Sept. 12th.  I know that those of you who don't live in Los Angeles really care cause well... you can't be there.  This time you will have the chance to kind of be there virtually.  The nice folks at In Soul We Trust will be broadcasting live our full night (video and audio) on Ustream.com.  You can watch the broadcast on Ustream or right here on this page since I will embed the video and the chat for that night. I hope you get a chance to join in and jump on the chat board to talk to us.  If you are nice we might even take requests :)

If you live in LA no excuses and make sure you come support us.  Experiencing the WCC live in person with the proper sound system is in another league than watching it on your computer plus we are better looking in person since the camera adds like ten pounds on us.... See you Saturday!

BALANCE is every Saturday at Club King King.

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.

Sunday July 27th starting at 8pm the West Coast Collective invades Santa Monica with an exciting night of soulful beats less than a mile from the Pacific ocean. We are having a special party for our friend David Barton who is going back to Manchester, England but not before he gets to drop some tunes with the WCC. Also on the decks will be Soulsessions' Sal Antaloss straight out of the Netherlands. The whole event takes place at Main, a new club right in the middle of Santa Monica's trendy Main Street. If this night goes well there is a very good chance that the WCC will turn this into a regular monthly or bi-monthly thing. Please come join us while we do it west coast style on the west side of LA. This event has no cover charge.

There is a new Thursday night happening here in Hollywood called Mondial. The whole thing launches Thursday April 10th, 2008 at the famous Rumba Room in Universal Citywalk. The concept for Mondial is very interesting. The main room downstairs will cater to a more commercial crowd with main stream club music and a live band playing Rock en Espanol but the more intimate room upstairs will be nothing but Soulful House hosted by the West Coast Collective. I will be playing all night on April 10th and if things works out we will be rotating the different members of the WCC for future dates. I personally think that it will do great since the promoters are experienced,they know what they are doing and they are doing it right. I'm also excited of having the crowd from downstairs coming to check us out and discovering the style of house we play and hopefully make a few converts. For more info about guest list and all that jazz check out the front and back of the flyer.

In the last few months I have received quite a few emails from people wondering what had happened to my old mailing list or why I wasn't sending any updates.  They were wondering if they had been dropped from it. I would send an email once or twice a month to let them know about new mixes or gigs. When I re-did the new site and I included a blog I didn't think I would need the list anymore since people can subscribe to it and get the updates right here. Well, the list is back!  New and improved. When you join now you can chose your interest so I can send you an email that is relevant to what you want to be informed about. For example most people want to know when I have a new mix up but not necessarily when I have a gig in Los Angeles if they live in Barcelona. The emails are also in HTML format now so they look much better than the old ones. You can join on any of the site's pages by entering your email and clicking join on the sidebar to your left.
