A couple of weeks ago, the We Get Famous blog team stepped into The Lot and did it real big with us.

Check out their review of our DIRB! Saturday nights at The Lot on Washington (4212 Washington, 77007)!

This Saturday night (05/14), DJs Dayta and Gracie Chavez will be on deck. And next month, we’ve got very special guest DJ Mel returning to DIRB! with us, too!

Check for updates and RSVP here: DIRB! Saturdays

Here’s a bit of the hair of the dog that bit ya last weekend.

With so many Valentine’s-themed mixes to choose from, it felt like standing in front of the condom aisle wondering which was gonna get the job done.

I rounded up five mixes, so choose a flavor to get you in the mood. Or try them all–just be sure to also pick up Alka-Seltzer for that love hangover in the monin‘!

1) The Motel Mix 2: For the Ladies – DJ Mel (aka Mel Caravicci) [mediafire]
A nice segue from our last post, this smooth transition is brought to you by none other than our dude in Austin, DJ Mel.

It’s been a minute and since it’s that Valentines time of year, I’m breaking you off another volume of THE MOTEL MIX. This time around, the focus is on the ladies and female R&B groups.

Get the track listing at www.smellyone.blogspot.com.

2) VDAY Mix – DJ A-One [mediafire]
Double-whammy! Also coming off an All-Star weekend high, Dallas’ DJ A-One found time to drop this joint. Find out how insane it got at www.djaone.blogspot.com.

3) #CHNS2DSD – Bobby Trill [zshare]
This one hails from our boy Bobby Trill in S.A. He’s been rampin’ up on them Twitter hash tags and this is the pantie-droppin’ outcum. Squincy Jones pimped it on his blog Awwready:

This mix hops around genres with dope cuts and blends while staying on that luvy dubby tip.

4) Cowboys & Girls, Vol. 1 – Ace Boon Coon & B*Luxe [mediafire]
B*Luxe dropped this hot one on me via email. Now that he’s back in the H, B*’s ready to ro-de-oh with pahtnah Ace BoonCoon! Check ‘em out at www.cushcushco.com.

5) LuvStep – Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix [direct]
With dude-step now synonymous with dubstep, it’s a huge relief to hear that Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix exposed a softer, more feminine side thru LuvStep. No half-steppin’, this podcast mix made me wonder why I didn’t think of it first (thanks, SDF-One ;P)! Mami likes!!

We live in a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors, so what’s in a wobble? You don’t have to be a smart man to know what love is. LUVSTEP completes you and is programmed for pleasure. It’s music for starry nights and candle light…slow wine and grind time. Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix are your captains for this maiden voyage into the heart of the boom’s cosmic bosom. It’s amazing, the love inside. You take it with you.

Peep the track listing and more on Mad Decent.

For those of you not feelin so lovey, dovey, here’s a video treat ripped straight from the heart of the Mad Decent camp.

Tonight’s Friday the 13th–ahem–festivities kick off with The Return of Karma at La Strada and Lovers & Friends at Block 21.

You won’t belong to me, I let you down
I walk around ‘n’ see your night skyline
I feel the light but you don’t want to stay
So lonely now, just let me off downtown
Sad and free, sad and free
Sad and free, sad and free

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won’t be long for I’m leaving all my love
But I’ll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin’ on my own, so free

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
(Repeat above over next verse)

Love it! Thanks Smelly!!

And more random SXSW 08 shots here.

I’ll also add that Z-Trip will be back at SXSW this year and I hope to have a flashback of his 2 x 4 with our ATX boy DJ Mel in 2005 I believe. That set had to be one of the best sets I have ever heard period. So good stuff is always expected from this man.

He shares the bill with MSTRKRFT on March 15 at SXSW. Lin k to his MySpace page for details.
