Thanks to all of you who came out last week for my birthday - I had a great time as far as I can remember! Special thanks to Matt Sanborn for tearing up the dance-floor as he always does! This week, we will have a very special appearance by DJ Stevie G // Sahara/Umoja/Odara Productions who will join myself and double o7 (Knee Deep)on Thursday!

Steve Gamboa (a.k.a. Stevie G) has been involved with dee jaying, producing, and performing live music for over a decade._He began as a DJ in 1988, spinning hip-hop, rare groove, and funk at various parties in his hometown of Washington, DC. In 1995, Stevie became co-founder and resident at the "Cold Rice" weekly party at the Kaffa House in DC._He spun there once a week playing an eclectic mix of rare groove, funk, house, and drum and bass._He was also resident at this same venue on Fridays under the name, Killa F.M. (Killa From Manila), where he was the opening dub/roots and culture DJ for The Upsetter International dancehall sound system.

Currently, Stevie has been concentrating on his career as a soulful house and classics DJ, as well as a producer._His unique combination of organic styles, ranging from deep to rhythmcentric, also includes a wide range of underground disco/left-field classics and their related genres._In October 2000, he began as solo resident for his own party called, "Sunday Shoutin,'" at the popular DC nightspot Andalu._Guests at his party included Antonio Ocasio (Tribal Winds, NY); Boo Williams (Diaspora); Anderson Soares (Sao Paulo, Brasil); Phil Asher (Restless Soul, UK); Miguel Migs, Rasoul, and Lisa Shaw (Naked Music).

Stevie has also been the main resident at The House of Secrets for over 4 years now. This invitation-only weekly party is probably THE longest running house party
in the world._Located in a mansion near Howard University, this party has been in effect for over 30 years._He once played a private party for Prince at Secrets, where The Artist holds his after-show gatherings whenever in DC.

Locally, he is also Summer resident at M3 Music's Sunday twilight party, "Sunset Soiree Sessions" on the roof top of Club 5 playing a mix of reggae, classics, and world music._Stevie has also opened for the Afro-Beat musician, Femi Kuti, when he performed in DC for his "Shoki Shoki" Tour and has supported local house music DJs, Doug Smith (95 North Records) and Pope and Oji (Poji Records) at The Sanctuary, another underground weekly house party.

During 2001 and 2002, Stevie completed two separate and very successful tours of Spain where he spun in clubs and bars in Barcelona, Tolosa, Zaragoza, Pamplona, Madrid, Bilbao, Valladolid, Gijon, and Logrono.__He also performed at two large music festivals in Mallorca and Jerez de la Frontera where guests included Thievery Corporation (ESL Records) and Jose Padilla (Cafe Del Mar).
