got the phone - thnx

Any suggestions on places to hit - peeps to contact? WIll be there for 2weeks (march 21-april 2). Thanks -EMC

To all those bostonians making the trip - have a blast - Swells, Catie, Chueng et all.... Wish I was here to experience it with you but Argentina is calling and I am eager to spend 2 weeks in another country (although one could argue miami is anoter country in itself). Have fun, enjoy the people, the music, and most importantly life. Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you cats up in Boston soon - I need a return visit to the craziness you guys (and gals) call home. -EMC

Looking forward to this night - so long as I am not playin anywhere this week - I am definitely there to support my boys Sammy and Charlie. They have been quietly amassing quite a buzz - and duely so. Respect also goes out to the NG duo who have graciously opened there sobe home to me last week. Things are in the works for Sammy and mines venture 'Product One Music' - so keep your ears to the ground for events popping up on that soon. -emc

according to the post by ng - yes and its till 1am... so come get your drink on ladies!!!!

Just a reminder about Boombox tonight - Come together for some deep, soulful house. -emc

Look forward to having the boston crew back down in my house. good times, good music, good people is recipe for sucess. Se you all in march!!! -emc

Southside @ Gryphon on Fri - if you want to venture up to the hard rock. funksion on thursdays as well as boombox for smaller venues. Shine is a def must hit this weekend and Ceballos is at Space on Sat. Spire - rooftop bar for a start off - 8th and collins - overlooks the ocean and the bartender Joey makes a mean drink. The room is also a good starter (back on 1st behind opium. Those are just a few of the many - depends on what you value most ... good music, chic, or other....

hahahaha - I know - its one of those places you have to go and see for yourself. It is actually a rather nice little place to sit back and dpwn a few. The food is cheap and rather good. Very bohemian with an eclectic mix of people.

UVA 69: The third tip of the triangle and latest success story faces the gas station at 69th, its tiny tables abuzz from breakfast through dinner—at least when the weather is fine. Like Dogma, UVA 69 is an all al fresco experience with no indoor seating and a funky following. But UVA also offers live music weekend nights and some highly refined, fairly fast food with a French-Spanish-Cuban flair.... http://www.where-miami.com/editorial.cfm?ID=332

If anyone is looking for a nice way to start their friday night off, swing by UVA 69 for a nice cheap dinner. Good deals on wines and beers and I will be providing the musical ambiance (deep/soulful blend). Time: 7-11pm Uva 69 6900 Biscayne Blvd (westside) Miami Hope some of you can make it out - and don't forget about this Thursday as the NG crew opens up their decks to me for a couple hours @ Boombox. Respect, -emc

Call to all CPs, I would like to invite you out to Boombox this Thursday, January 19th as the Next Generation and family open their house to myself (EMC) and 'The Kid' Colione. Stop by and take in a night full of deep, soulful house. This night is slowly building to be a must stop on the Thursday circuit. Hope to see some people stop by - say hello - and share a drink...or two. -emc

I have a pioneer DJM 500 and have played on numerous 600's and 3000's. I have notice this to be the problem with every single one. I would chalk it up as an unexplained fault with the pioneer mixers. Still great mixers but have yet to find a reason/solution to this.

Anybody swing by for a minute? Didn't see anyone I recognized and would def like some honest feedback if you did. I felt it was a pretty good time - atleast Rick adn I had a blast!

yes, yes y'all and you don't stop... keep on rockin till the beat drops

For those looking to start the evening off on a more casual note, I just picked up a guest spot filling in for Mike Sike at 'Stop' over in the design district. Joining me will be Rick Longman - we play from 10-2ish or longer ??? Stop is located south of 36th st on NE 2nd Ave next to Cane Sucre. Hope some of you can poke your head in. Nice selection if wines, cheese, and brews and of course music. -emc

Hey gang, Just wanted to drop a quick message to let peeps know that I will be filling in for Mike Sikes this Friday at Stop - Miami. For those who have yet to go - it's a swanky lil wine and cheese joint in the design district. Music kicks off around 10 and goes till 3ish. For those not yet familiar wih what I play, here is a link to my latest mix: http://www.macillustrations.net/music/emc006.mp3 Stop is located on NE 2nd Ave (just south of NW 36th St) next door to Cane Sucre. If you are looking for a low key place to hang on a Friday night - stop by. Hope to see some peeps there. -emc

Good luck Mikey See u in March!!! -emc

Hey gang, Wanted to throw out that I am playing for the Wynwood/Design District Block party on Saturday from 7-11 at Art Fusion (1 40st off of N Miami Ave). It's a block party with Myself, a Latin Orchestra, art of course and an open bar. Hoepfully I will see some peeps out - Afterwards, I am off to 'Stop Miami' ( On NE 2nd Ave next to Cane Sucre/Midtown Miami) for a tagteam with Mike Sike and Rick Longman. If anyone is in the neighborhood - stop on by. Cheers -emc

Check your lease - because actually most of the time - the owner is not responsilble for any damages caused to personal propery unless it is negligience on their part (i.e. due to a major appliance). Things may be different in Boston, but in Miami and even Ohio - that is the case. If your landlord covered your damages - consider yourself lucky!!!

good times last night - great to see some proper house heads and DJs passing through. As always - thanks to the NG duo for the warm welcome - hope you guys dig the new cd. Music was great only downside is that the ventilation in that place needs some serious rethinking. When your eyes are watering and you can smell the smoke permiating off you when u r IN the venue... stinks (no pun intended - well... ok maybe). It was great to here b-side finally play. Great tunes, great peeps and an all around great vibe. I definitely see this building into something faaaaaaaaaaantastic! See you all next week!!! -EMC

Like the phat kid on a seesaw I am down - will be rolling in with a few peeps as well. Look forward to hearing you guys play again as well as sharing a drink or 2. Excited to meet b-side (Rick L) says hello. Should be a good time - hope you get a proper reception.

Hey guy, I know most people do not reply to these things, but I jammed your set at work today. Although I admit to not being able to give it a proper listening, what I did hear I liked. Kudos.
