Hello, helloooo, HELLOOO!!!

Yes, it looks like I've been on hiatus for the entire summer. I apologize to those of you who have been waiting for a new post from me. It seems as though I've had quite the summer and start of fall. A lot has happened! Many more Wake the Towns at Mad Dog in the Fog, a new reggae night added at the Missouri Lounge in the East Bay last Thur of the month and best of all, I've started 2 new Soul nights in SF! I have a bi-monthly (every 2nd/4th Fridays) and a once a month (usually last Wed) at Mad Dog in the Fog and Otis, respectively. The nights are called Where It's At! & Soul Fever. I share the decks with my dj partners in crime, Shawn & DJ Big Willie. We play everything from 60s R&B to Motown/Tamla/Gordi, to funky, funky soul, disco soul & boogie! We do it the old school way, strictly vinyl, baby!





The next Where It's At! is actually this Friday night, October 16th! We're doing a special night, since last weekend we traveled down to Morro Bay for a friend's wedding. In addition to this, on the 17th, I will be guest DJing with Covi & Ryan at Funk & Soul at the Noc Noc on Haight & Fillmore! Two nights of fantastic, booty shakin' tunes in the Lower Haight! Don't miss it! Where It's At! will be back on track for the 4th Friday next week!

Okay, now that I'm back up and running with my blog, let me collect a few pics to post for ya'll and I'll update you on what's been going on and where we'll be going next! Keep your eyes and ears sharp! See ya soon! Cheers!!!

Hello! It's time to get down!

Hello Friends and Blogger World Peeps!

Sorry I've been absent for a couple of weeks. I've had so many things going on lately. I took on a freelance sewing job for the San Francisco Electric Tour Company. http://www.electrictourcompany.com/ I made patterns and have been cutting and sewing like a mad woman the past couple of weeks! 60 safety vests are the order and they new design is looking great! This company offers tours where you get to ride around on segways! So cool!!!

Also, Easter weekend, I took a short trip down to L.A. I played records at my friend's club in Long Beach Friday night...(get on the) GOOD FOOT! www.myspace.com/goodfoot www.goodfoot.org ; got to hang with my friends and family Saturday and then Sat. night went out to Soulside to support my friends and have a chance to shake my tail feather! Shawn, of Wake the Town fame, was guest DJ both Friday and Saturday nights! www.myspace.com/clubsoulside The weekend was a blast, but way too short!

This week holds a couple of notable events: first off is Tuesday evening HAPPY HOUR with me & my special guest and friend MINI @ TWISTER! Koko Cocktails is so gracious as to host my twice monthly musical journey experience!



Next up, my friend and DJ extraordinnaire, Mr. Ryha is guest DJ @ Monkey Time Wednesday night in SF. In his own words: "Spinning this WED April 22nd at Monkey Time with Sergio at Delerium on 16th near Valencia in San Francisco. A chance to spin 60's soul and 60's in general that I haven't had a chance to spin in years. Jamaican soul too of course."

Come on down for Happy Hour drink specials and some smooth tunes that may just get you in the mood to tap those toes! Twister! is a musical journey through space and time and offers a wide variety of sounds and genres, smoothly pulling the common thread from one to the next. A bit heavy on the Soulful/Funky stuff, but travels into 70s soulful disco, 80s, UK alternative, Indie, Jamaican sounds, including Reggae of course, Brazilian, African, Afro-Latin, etc. etc. This is a 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month happening and I am happy to share the turntables with some really great SF area selectors!!!
