Soon they will be available in the mGrooves Music shop.

Tears For Fears

Tears for fears
Better than gone by years?
Certainly better than love incomplete
Tears for a love incomplete

 

Tears will water tomorrow’s flower
Bloom. Stretch. Stand tall. Tower.
Dawn blooms after the darkest night
And tears cool like rain in summer light.

 

It may feel so so far far away
But your tears foretell smiles in coming days
I see you.  And I see you. Feeling blue.
But so is the sky when it is clear. True?


I originally penned this on June 13, 2015.

BSB0026 — Brand Spanking Bought


So the other day I laid down the my BSB show. It was so much fun.

There is a bit of soulful at the top before I go a little booty shakin’ dirty with the beats. As usual, I am active on the mixer as any good DJ would be versus doing the absolute minimum behind the decks.

Feel free to let me know what you think of the music selection and the style bought to the performance.

Flash Life Is Good Life

Although the date was made many weeks ago to be a part of Preview DC at Flash, it could not have come at a better time.

Music–especially dance music in general and House music in particular–is very therapeutic. It is the best dope, the best side-effect free drug, the best medicine.

Flash once again also proves why it has been successful in working with the great talents from the local level to international, but making sure to curate folks to be on the decks who are positive to the entire scene;  not just to their own glorification.

For myself going through a tough break up, these culminated in quite the spiritual re-awakening last night.

I was given a chance to play some of the best I have the pleasure of having access to and releasing on mGrooves Music. I also had the chance to play some of my own creations before a large audience. And again, I was surprised by the reassuring and supportive response to all of the above.

I am glad I have stuck to my guns so to speak regarding being very picky about the newest of projects I have chosen to work and collaborate.  Playing out every weekend and being ‘everywhere’ is not by itself an indicator of doing good work.

Again, thank you Christauff and Jon MFD for considering me again and again for your Preview DC event, and your dedication to the best of local DJs. Thank you Flash for being fertile ground for the new and innovative. And for being similarly picky.

I’ll Be Running In My Underwear Again

I ran with some friends of mine 2 years ago. The Cupid’s Undie Run charity raises money for research into this cancer that afflicts kids. Here I am running again!

Yes there are tons of charities that one could support, and I do spend a considerable time giving. This is just one of the places that I do.

Yet, as in this case, giving can also be outrageously fun!


#GetWithCupid


I will be announcing personal giveaways to those who donate or run with me…

BSB0025 — Brand Spanking Bought

I actually ended up recording this show more than once. I have been testing broadcasting live to various social media channels. This one was to Facebook.

I might do Twitter the next time. I still have to record a mix for DeepTechFM and my man Christauff.

The videos will only be up for a short period of time. To hear the full mix press play below. A download link for offline listening will be posted soon as well.

Inside this one is also a hot remix of my track Bodymore by new comer to mGrooves Music, Dan Gee.


Chuck Smokes Stages Debuts on Traxsource

My latest EP on mGrooves Music debuted on Traxsource Monday December 19th.



This 3 track EP represents a milestone. I have been running this label for 4 tough years. And now here at the beginning of 2017 it seems like momentum is back after several debilitating set backs.

This time I would like to maintain this drive, this strength…

BSB0024 — Brand Spanking Bought

Got down with a new  radio show and podcast over the weekend.

Truth be told it’s been tough trying to catch up. However, music is my escape. And I much needed this release.

This episode starts off with my previous release Fridays Alone from the Blazing Eyes EP and features another one of my favorite throwback tracks called Black Man in Space. I then break some freshness on ya from, Fly Never Dies —  new to my mGrooves Music label, Burnski, and Tiga.
