Winter Music Conference 2012


What can I possibly say about WMC that hasn’t already been printed, videoed, lived, survived; all of it Loved?  I have personally registered for 17 of them. (I still have the badge on lantern to prove it.  I was doing WMC when that badge made you a Club King.  When it had it’s start in Fort Lauderdale.  I have my picture (*eating breakfast at the Nervous Records “Denny’s” party, after coming back from a marathon party at Space, so ya know (w), in Mix Magazine.  I’ve even DJ’ed my fair share of WMC events....and have the flyers to prove it.  (not going to drop the names here.) Fun times. Lots and Lots of Great WMC stories to be told.  Feel free to send me some of yours. I’ll tell you some of Those stories next time we have lunch.


But, Musically.  The Thing....that I Love about WMC is.  No matter Where you go....What party you decide to endure. Or, which one you go to, to get you to the Next one.  There will Always be a DJ in charge....that is There because he/she Truly Loves the Music...the Process...the People....and he/she Will be intent on serving up something musical to connect the Creative, the Current, the Classic, and the Unique.  And he/she will Always try to make it so you walk away feeling like you have heard or experienced something that you will have not heard at any other event.  Something that you will want to say to others....”You Should’ve heard this set.”  And, they will Wish It.


That’s....what I try to bring to the weekend.  Hey, you Never know who could be listening.  So, I Test a Lot of new music during this time.  I play some Deep Classics to connect with times past.  Some styles that may not always be “Friday night”.  This is that set.  It’s live at the club....they are spoiled.  Fun times.


So, As My world spins....I hope our planets collide on a dancefloor near you soon.  Meantime, Stay tuned.  Call your mom....and spread some love all around.

A Taste of Sweat 2012

download taste of sweat mp3

Time to catch up,

Heyyyyyy.  Well....Since the Last time you heard from me.  Yes, I played a fanTasticly Sexxxy party for this years Winter Party in Miami.  Other than the party being in Fort Lauderdale....at Bill’s Filling Station; the Energy was Still hot...Very.  I had originally said that I wanted to play them All my “currently Favorite” tracks.  Being more realistic....I turned Out that party with the perfect set of Herbicidal hotties.  

This set is about the middle of peak night.  So it’s full of that big synthy, progressive, vocal that I love.  Hey, there are Only so many tracks to play in a night....and This was That one.  They had fun.....So did I !!

I want to personally thank All the friends and fans (*You know who You are.) who came out that night.  Remember me telling you about the “List”...and Me being On It....the “The Hottest DJ’s the Planet Has to Offer”...(*list). And, who had to put up with (*again), my seemingly endless, and Shameless, self promotion.  But Hey,....it Obviously worked.  And, I’d Do It again....and Again.
(*note to self....”Do IT Again.”)

Some Great Songs in this set.....and, I do Really love them all.  Not all are brand new...but Just because it’s New....Doesn’t always make it better.  I hope you still “Get Me.”  Never stop listening.  As, Miles Davis said once, that he would listen to Everything as rhythm.  Think about it.  Never underestimate the connective Power of Music.

That in mind.....Keep your head to the sky....It’s listening too.

Love....All around.
Herbie


PS. In case you’re wondering.  I AM Still a CD DJ.  If you’re listening for that sort of thing.

The headline reads “the Hottest DJs the Planet Has to Offer.”  


Scroll down the page, and you’ll see....I’m On It.  


Wow, and the some More Wow.  My tail has hardly stopped waggin’ since I got  “the call”.  Not totally sure how it all happened....but I know that the universe knew it was suppose to happen.  So I’ll take it.  And, I’ll do my Herbicidal Best to make it Really Hot. 


It’s been a few years now...but I’ve played for Winter Party twice before....(*the Mineshaft party, 2006 and Five Ring Circuit, 2009 ).  The Universe obviously knew I was due another. (*re- The Hottest DJs the Planet has to Offer...wagwagwagwag.)  


So, here’s my invitation to all my favorite beat bunnies....Get Here!  To Winter Party in south Florida. There are a Lot of very Hot events to attend and support. Not all of them involve a lot of money or energy.  Me, I’ll be playing the Tres Sexy “Sweat” event.  It’s here, in my home town, Fort Lauderdale, at Bill’s Filling Station; on Saturday, March 3rd, from 9pm to 3am. The cost is Cheap...$10.00 at the door...and it’s Winter Party....worth Every Cent.


The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force provides numerous services to assist in the support of OUR community. http://www.winterparty.com/about  Power in numbers!


Yes, I’m “local” and you Know me....but Here’s a Pervfect opportunity to hear me Out of my comfort zone.  And, for ALL those people who don’t Ever get to hear me in my home-bar...and complain that you don’t want to infringe....Here’s Your chance to Support your Local “Scene”. I urge All of you to support My event....and if Not...then get out and show Powers in Numbers at some of their Other sexy events.


Musically; I make no promises.  I've prepared to play these parties all my life....musically.  I'm just going to play a party with the music that's in my bag.  Which, is the music that I Love...and that makes My drummer beat.  I will try to be Herbicidal....which I Hope that you will, or have, come to expect from me.


I look forward to a Vibin’ Sexy Sweaty Event this Saturday....and I hope to see All my fans and Music Lovers out for a “Gay Ol’ Time”.


Love all around, 
Herbie


ps. Here’s a little Herbicidal Taste to wet your whistle....BoomTsst, BoomTsst, BoomTsst, x a Milllion.
