While Squincy is on an evangelical tour of the bible belt with his Nintendub beats, El Jeffe and I are gonna do it real grande at Speakerboxx this Thursday.
The Don Santos and Dayta will also be on hand for the take-over!
This weekend kicks off with a bit of a Ruff Cutt reunion at Boondocks. Fredster and Jeffe regularly “F” the Scene together but this Friday I’ll guest DJ along with them as “Gracie ChaFez.”
So come prepared to put it down on the flo. No requests. No filler. Just murdah! Now that’s bigger than DIRB!
And this Saturday night is our DIRB! Block Party at Block 21 (2420 Washington) with DJ Pooksin the Howard Hughes room. Pop champagne!
There’s a first time for everything. In fact this is our first DustyCrates post for the year on our first anniversary. And although we’ve been operating as a “DJ collective” for about 3 years, DIRB! has never come together to play under one roof. Thanks to a holiday visit from Matt (a.k.a. Sizzle), who is holding up the DIRB! Seattle chapter, we were able to make it happen on Saturday night at Block 21 (2420 Washington, Houston).
Matt, Antonio, El Jeffand I Did It Real Big [DIRB!] at our bi-monthly, BLOCK PARTY, with Squincy Jones (dood, you’re pretty much DIRB! now) and all our friends plus more. We may not have another opportunity like this, so it couldn’t have been any more special.
The band photos are up; shit’s way too white bread now! Whut!!?
Thanks to Midge and Amish for snapping some pics throughout the night.
Just like Ralphie Parker, Matt made me go back and decode this e-flyer. Truth be told, it had been a while since I saw A Christmas Story and forgot how some folks turn classics into nerd fests.
Anyway, in honor of Matt’s (aka Sizzle and DIRB! founder) holiday homecoming, we’re officially coming together to DJ as DIRB! for the first time. As the e-flyer states (thanks for that, too, Matt), it’s goin down on Saturday, December 20 at Block 21. [Check out the "cool" writeup we got in Houston Press, "21 Jump Street".]
So, no secret circles. No secret meetings. No decoding. Just dip thru this weekend and DIRB with us (Matt, Gracie, Antonio, El Jeffe & Squincy Jones). Your life could hang in the balance.
Another crummy post brought to you by Dusty Crates, DIRB!, Awwwready, Grills/Frank151 and Ovaltine.
Ralphie gets his decoder ring — and learns something about the world.
Come out to Block 21 THIS SATURDAY to celebrate the b-day of Gracie Chavez along with some of H-town’s best Djs: Squincy Jones, El Jeffe, G.Wizz, and last but definitely not least Antonio who just dropped his DISCOTEQSAS mix that is straight FIRE!
If you haven’t been to Block 21, here’s your excuse!
