BSB0046 – Brand Spanking Bought – Podcast

I don’t know about you, but I’m melting. No, it’s not because of the weather. It’s because of all these hot tunes in this #BSB …

#BSB on iTunes

#LOV reaches back to the Famous When Dead Two compilation with the tune Soft Pink Missy by The Soft Pink Truth.

In the hottest of the hot of new stuff we have 2 from DJ E-Clyps, one a web only gem, a track from Idris Elba called Badman where he shows us how much of a bad man he is in the music studio, Treasure Fingers fine touch on the remix of a Sage Armstrong/Astronomar track and several more!

We also Flashback to BSB0022 with one of my own releases on the Chuck Smoke Stages EP and featuring some previous heat by Melvin & Klein, Will Clark and DJ Funk.

It’s time to #PressPlay and get your #Eargasm on…

BSB0045 – Brand Spanking Bought – Podcast

Even though I am back to the east coast and my #100LongBeachDays of 2018 are over, I am still California dreamin. However, make no mistake, I have love for my east coast peeps.

Now that I’m back in the home studio, LOV (Layers Of Vinyl) returns with a 2005 hit from Dennis Ferrer. And the Throwback Section has been renamed to Flashback. With four selections we flash back to BSB0021.

Check it out. #PressPlay and get your #Eargasm on…

BSB0044 – Brand Spanking Bought – Podcast

My #100LongBeachDays adventure continues!

Along the way here is the latest #BSB podcast. Again, because I’m on the road, I forego the LOV (Layers Of Vinyl) selection and I forward the Throwback Section toward the front of the show.

Get this BSB on iTunes

Still, there is about an hour and a half worth of hot undergound House Music tunes.

Let’s go dance!

BSB0043 — Brand Spanking Bought — Podcast

Oh my god, I had so much fun this past weekend! Anyway, here is the my latest BSB show.

Inside there are shout outs to some cool new peeps I just met over the weekend. And a shout out to an old friend that I haven’t had the chance to catch up with a few years.

Surrounding that wonder is music from Risk Assessment, Jemini G, and PEZNT, Colette and Ghettoblaster, DJ E-Clyps, Franky Rizardo, and more…

Finally, there is a contest for some free stuff. Details for the contest is toward the end of the show.

Hey… If I get you dancing–even in your seat–I call it winning! Enjoy!

Stereotype

Some time ago I wrote prose about this subject. Unfortunately, we all have a collection of implicit biases.

The question is how often to we allow our bias to be challenged?

From the other side of the proverbial coin, I often feel frustrated when I come up against bias. It’s everywhere.

The disbelief in another persons eyes, even when faced with something to the opposite; especially when faced with proof and fact the bias is not true, not as broad, or, my favorite, the truth is a lot more nuanced.

It cuts to the white meat, when I see this internal battle manifest itself in another’s face.

Personally, I have been trying to face my bias any time it rears its ugly little head. It’s a devil that appears on my shoulders at inappropriate times.

I’m sure it does for others too. After all, it is a human condition. Or should I say, it’s a disease.

However, I will continue this exercise hoping that like a weight lifter, the repetitive action of challenging my bias will strengthen my soul, and make me slower and slower to judge while broadening my knowledge if not compassion as well; as it seems to have been working through most of my life.

After all, I don’t fit your damn stereotype…

Stereotype will be an exclusive release to Traxsource on May 30 (pre-order is available now); released to all other digital stores on June 27.

BSB0042 – Brand Spanking Bought

It’s been just over a week since I have been back in the #LBC — Long Beach, CA — on my #100LongBeachDays of 2018. And there has been some set backs and some nice developments.

So how is that for a bad-news-good-news teaser, eh?

I’ll be going into some of the bad news soon enough. The good news is that I and one of my new friends out here from last year and I are launching a new project in the next few weeks. We are looking to have a launch party in late June.

But for now, dig into the latest BSB — Brand Spanking Bought Show.  It was recorded at Our Spot–my last Sunday in Baltimore before I started on this latest #100LongBeachDays 2018 adventure.

It has been awhile since Oscar and I had any face-to-face time–too long, to be honest–even though we have been in the same town of Baltimore for years. Yet here I was crossing the threshold into his store. (I should say their store–Belinda’s wonderful force is just as important in their story.)

There is much that is inspirational about Belinda and Oscar’s story in my humble opinion. But I will not spill those proverbial beans here. I suggest you go into there wonderful massage-barber-wellness shop and hear it yourself.

Tell them Stylo sent you–I’m sure they would love to tell their story. (And while you are there, partake in one of their beautiful soul replenishing services.)

Sacrifice

So I went off a bit on Instagram for #MondayMotivation …

I probably came off as a bit of an ass to some. But here is the thing–I really don’t care.

How Not To Be ‘Encouraging’

The last week of positives culminated in a show for Butter, a last Friday of the month party upstairs at Ottobar.

(btw, I still get nervous for sets. It doesn’t matter if is for 20 people or 2000 people. I get nervous.)

There is no way to suddenly make it big

I guess it was something that got under my skin, this so called positive re-enforcement that was not positive. And this was a way for me to exorcise it.

Their is no so secret to success

No, it was not something in this past week. Yes, it was something that preceded it, but not by much. More importantly, it is a common thing for a lot of people to say, do, or suggest to others who actually have the balls (or vagina) to put themselves out there, who take risks beyond the average person.

I realize that this post or any post of this nature is not likely to be a tide changing event. However, just like putting the music out there, the prose out there, the writings out there, and letting the chips fall where they may so to speak, putting these feelings out into the ether is a way for me to be free.
