Stronger

What doesn't break you only makes you stronger...never regret any experience but learn from your mistakes...every experience is a learning lesson.
I personally don't think that you realize how strong you are until you are faced with a challenge. We face life changing decisions all the time. Sometimes you make the right choice the first time and sometimes it takes the wrong choice that makes your experience a life lesson.
I have been through a lot in my life so far and I know that I will be facing a lot more challenges ahead, and sometimes when going gets tough and giving up is all that seems to be an option and I start to lose my faith something happens to let me know that God is out there and works in mysterious ways. I've hit rock bottom, not just once or twice but three times. I'm still standing and its my faith in God, my family and my friends that got me through it.
So just remember, when going gets tough, don't give up, take some time to yourself to find peace, do what you need to do to find your strength and don't give up. Face all your challenges and don't run away from them. Just remember, rock bottom three times and I'm still standing.

DJ Excel...that's all I need to say!

It was only a couple of months ago when I first started hearing about DJ Excel and I can't believe I didn't find out about him sooner. This guy is absolutely AMAZING! We had him out in Toronto back in August and what he did on turntables I have never seen before. I was so excited to hear him spin that I didn't even want to go outside for a smoke break (yes smoking is VERY bad for you). I didn't want the night to end and can't wait for him to come back to Toronto. If you missed him, you need to make sure you check him out next time he is here.

He is constantly updating his site with show dates and live mixes. Check him out...you won't be disappointed.

He just uploaded his newest live mixes from a few gigs he did out in Philly. Make sure you download and take a listen...you will LOVE IT!

DJ Baby Yu comes home for one night only...

DJ Baby Yu is in my top 5 favorite DJ's of all time, and when he decided to move to Atlanta to further his career as much as I was happy for him but at the same time I was sad. This would mean that I would no longer be able to hear him throw it down on the 1's and 2's every weekend.
With that said...I cannot explain how excited I am that he will be DJing in Toronto this Friday (October 30, 2009) after a year.

Mass Appeal Ent, Roundtable Ent. & Caché Fridays @ Atelier Noir (510 King St. W., Toronto, ON)
presents
GODSEND
For one night only...
...the return of DJ Baby Yu on Devil's night

This is going to be one crazy party! You don't want to miss it!!!

The Substance Entertianment Group present DJ Jazzy Jeff LIVE in Canada

The Substance Entertainment Group proudly present DJ Jazzy Jeff live. If you are a Jazzy Jeff fan then you will know how big this is. If you are in the Toronto area or Halifax area this weekend then you need to check him out.
DJ Jazzy Jeff is King of DJ's and if you haven't heard him spin live then you are missing out. He puts on a great show and its always a great party.

UNDRCRWN presents DJ JAZZY JEFF "He's the King, I'm the DJ"

After the passing of the KING of POP, DJ's started putting out tribute mixes. I only wished that the KING of DJ's would hopefully put his own mix out. My girl was out in Detroit just recently after MJ passed to see Jazzy Jeff throw it down and the first thing she said to me when she got back was "I wish you were there to hear him do his MJ tribute set, it was AMAZING".

Well, the KING of DJ's has finally given us the pleasure of being able to hear his MJ Tribute.

You will love this...I have heard some great tribute mixes but none come even close to this.

Enjoy!

I wrote about Duck Sauce back in August and since then I have been telling anyone and everyone about how hot it is.
Their EP was supposed to drop in September but by the looks of it, it has been pushed back. Once I get more word, I will make sure to let you all know.

I have posted the 2 video's recently released from their first single "aNYway".

ENJOY!
