Its great to find a happy memory time to time. Here’s a clip from a Bagpak Rooftop Jam from last summer in Nolita, NYC.. fun times!
Jazz at Café Del Monko
Here’s some moody jazz flavors from a Wednesday night at Café Del Monko. Recorded during my travels to Montreal back in June. I went there for Mutek festival and I am definitely doing it again next year. Highly recommend it as well. A stark contrast from Detroit Movement fest where I was just at a weekend before. No glow sticks, no under aged kids high on speed.. As much fun as it is to observe it all, I was glad to be a part of a much more mature audience. Plus visuals! Really good too. A lil’ disapointed that one of the main events ‘Piknic Electronik’ got rained out both days, but it was well worth the trip still. Well organized festival indeed and the town is lovely! I cant wait to go back.
Hope you enjoy.

Sealion (Scrimshire See an Enemy Remix)
Wicked jam from Scrimshire here.. cant get enough of it:
by Scrimshire
Scrimshire:
A remix done earlier this year after being given a short 3 minute re-working of the original Feist track.
It needed more intro and then I just got carried away and made my own. There are some elements of the original untitled remix in the 2nd or 3rd minute (a few bars). I’m not claiming that part to be exclusively my own but have not been able to locate the original. If anyone knows please tell me and I’ll credit it here.
Apart from that it’s all mine. Feel free to download, embed, play and enjoy. Maybe drop me a line if you’re playing it out or on radio/podcasts etc.

NY Press Bash Compactor: 23-Hour Party People
At the Panda NYC party with DJ Zhill
When your hair is fabulous, your night will be, too. It’s a known fact. Saturday night found strangers complimenting me on the street on my platinum ’do thanks to lots of teasing, gel and bleach. Nancy Spungen would’ve approved. That’s why I decided to go to a straight party for once—it’s refreshing to be hit on by the opposite sex.
Standing in front of Panda NYC, a Chrystie Street bar and lounge that opened earlier this year, a burly thirtysomething guy with curly brown hair approached me. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” What had I done now?
Turns out he was a film director who wanted me to take some photos of him. Fine. Then he proceeded to pick me up and twirl me around. But why do strange men enjoy bringing me into the bathroom to snap pictures of them doing their business? “It’s your turn,” he leered. “No, that’s extra,” I replied. I wouldn’t mind seeing him again.
It was the first Panda NYC party by DJ Zhill (Zilvinas Stumbras), a Lithuanian ex-pat and cofounder of Bagpak Music. My friend Cole had attended his loft parties in Union Square, and some wild rooftop bashes he threw in Soho. Now, he regularly hosts Bagpak Sessions with Yellowtail and Zero Chaser at Lolita Bar. The co-host of the night was Holmar Filipsson of Thugfucker Records, and originator of the first rave parties in Reykjavik back in the early ’90s. He later moved to New York for the ‘N’Ice’ parties at Baktun and Centrofly. With these pro partiers, music was the big deal—a mix of deep techno, broken beat, house and random bits of electronica. Other than Zhill and Filipsson, other DJs included James Boatman from Vancouver label Wagon Repair, Pete Sung, DJ Grey and Yellowtail.
“Oooh! I love your hair, it’s as good as mine!” exclaimed a woman with a huge lion’s mane covering her face. Under the tresses was Goda Budvytyte, a Lithuanian artist and graphic designer from Amsterdam. She was the other life of the party, doing pushups and leaping on the windowsill and benches. The crowd was in its twenties and thirties, a funky mixture of Euros, Icelanders, Russkis and New Yorkers from all over. And yes, the boys seemed to like the girls. Maybe that’s why one of them got red lipstick marks all over my face.

Extension FM
Yesterday was the first ever SoundCloud NYC meet up! (soundcloud.com/pages/meetups) Yup.. New York finally caught up and altho modest, ideas were exchanged, a few pints downed and now we can say that we did it too! Had fun with the one deck serato improv (gotta love the local bar scene)! 1st one for me too.. 
Here’s also something new I learned that night and figured I’d share. extension.fm is a great Google Chrome browser extension thingie, that neatly organizes your music pages into iTunes like interface.. Works great when listening to and browsing through multiple soundcloud pages for ex or any page with music for that matter. Try it out. It changes the behaviour of mp3 links/play buttons on sites, so keep that in mind since it can be a bit annoying, but you can always enable/disable the extension as a workaround. Perhaps their next version will have this issue fixed.
