This Saturday Feb 27th WCC vs 3 Amigos
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!
The second I Love LA is coming
WCC Live @ BALANCE Dec. 26th
The WCC are finishing
the year strong with a rocking after x-mas party
at their favorite house club - BALANCE Los Angeles.
Dustin, Torin, and Ricardo will be throwing
down and will make you lose the extra pounds
that you gained during the holiday. You will
dance baby! We will play lots of classics and
some of the best house tracks of the year.
Again we will be recording the full 6 hours and
broadcasting live audio and video for those who
can't attend on insoulwetrust.com We really hope
to see you there! It's going to be hot - we can
feel it!
Opening for Random Soul @ BALANCE
This Saturday, October 3rd, I will have the pleasure to open up for my friends Yogi & Husky of Random Soul at BALANCE. They are kicking off their US tour here in Los Angeles. If you live in the LA area do yourself a favor and come check out these guys. Yogi is an amazing singer and he also plays keyboards during their DJ sets. I hope to see you there. I'm playing from 10pm to about 12:30am and Random Soul will close the night.
WCC Live @ BALANCE with live broadcast
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.

WCC RADIO EP-020 special extended live set
Since it's the 20th episode I took this show out of the studio to give you the live recording of when I had the chance to warm up the dance floor of BALANCE for my friend Jay-J last Saturday night. This is my full set before Jay-J jumped into the decks so this show is a little longer than usual. Almost 3 hours. You might hear a couple of songs that I had already played in EP-019 but in a different context. If you've never experienced BALANCE this will give you a taste of what that amazing club is all about. It was a great night and as usual the crowd was awesome with it's amazing dancers. The show fades out when Jay-J started his set. You will get a chance to hear him when he puts up his portion on his podcast. Just for the record you will hear a bunch of "Jay-J" drops especially near the end. He really isn't that narcissistic. That was me doing those to f@#$k with him because he is a such a low key and humble guy... I was trying to embarrass him. I didn't succeed.
The show can also be streamed or podcast on SS Radio UK but this is a two hour edit of the show.
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. @

Full BALANCE set from March Available
The full 6 hours BALANCE set from our gig back in March is now available for download on the West Coast Collective site. Instead of one huge file with the full 6 hours we divided the set into six 1 hour segments to make the whole thing more manageable. If you play these files back to back (especially in iTunes) you will hear no pause or fade out at the end of one of the hours. The whole thing will feel like the original 6 hour set. It is available as ACC with the tracks name imbedded in the file and indexing or as a simple plain old MP3.
The West Coast Collective will also be back at BALANCE Saturday April 25th for yet another 6 hour House Music extravaganza. We will be again recording the whole night for future postings. If you live in LA or will be visiting around that date we hope to see you cutting the dance floor with us.
BALANCE set from March and video.
We've also added short video clips of that night on our Facebook fan page but if your not on Facebook you can check out the videos on this new video page on my site.
The WCC will be back for a full night at BALANCE on April 25th. We are going to be welcoming the summer West Coast Styleeee.
Solo Casa - WCC night
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.
Opening for the Groove Junkies @ BALANCE
This is short notice but Saturday April 5th I'll be opening up for one of my favorite house duos, the Groove Junkies. Of course all this goes down at the top Soulful House club in Los Angeles: BALANCE. I hope to see some of you kats on the dance floor!

Tracklist is Complete for Balance Live Set
6 hour live mix for your NYE from the WCC
First of all Happy Holidays to you and all of your love ones. I want to thank you for the support that you have given me through out 2007. I can't believe this year is already over. It certainly flew by for me.
As a "Thank You" and a late holiday gift I would like to offer you the full set from our last gig at Balance here in Los Angeles. This is kind of rare that you will find sets like these online because it is 6 hours long! It is our full night un-edited. If you are looking for music for your NYE party this year you just put this on and you are good to go. It starts off smooth and then just peeks with some old, new and rare tracks that we like to take out when we play live.
You will find the tracklist for all 57 tracks on the download page with who was playing what. Basically Torin Rea, Dustin Brown and myself were rotating every 4 tracks so we kept it fresh. We compliment each other when we play but we all have a little bit different style (in a good way).
This download is pretty big, 317 MB. On a standard broadband connection it could take from 10 to 20 minutes to download so please be patient when you do. I need to thank Pablo Godel of Server Grove Networks for letting me host the mix on his servers. If it wasn't for Pablo's help I wouldn't be able to offer this mix to you because of the amount of bandwidth it would eat up with all the downloads that it will have. If you need any kind of hosting solutions please check out Server Grove Networks and give them a try.
Again thank you for 2007 and have a wonderful, safe and fun New Year Eve and stay soulful trough-out 2008!
