It’s Monday morning, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been drinking a large coffee and listening to Lindstrøm for the last three hours. I hope you’re nothing like me. Well, maybe just a little bit.

Anyway, I’m rather excited for Thursday night. The Lacquer DJs will be joining the TRAMP crew for the first party at our new location, Pink, on 16th between Mission & South Van Ness (map). I’ll be DJing for an hour and dancing for four hours. Come by and join the party if you’re around. I’m taking requests.

I’m DJing at the W Hotel in San Francisco (map) this Friday, July 18th, from 10pm to 1am. I’ll be spinning everything from IDM/glitch to 80s to indie rock, so swing by if you have a chance. I’ll even play your favorite song, unless it kind of sucks. See you on the floor!

Well, last night was one of the most fun nights of my life. Thanks to everyone who came out, and I can’t wait till the next Kissing Booth. Or the W next week. Or TRAMP on the 24th.

But in the meantime, there’s something very important I need to talk to you about. I’m DJing a house party tonight. Mexican Wrestlers vs. American Gladiators. It’s high time I got over my crippling fear of Mexican wrestler masks. Either that or I’m going to have one scary time. Live funk band followed by my DJ set. Check the Web site for the details. And come enjoy.

J.O.R.Y. and I are switching up the format at our monthly Make-Out Room nights. Starting tomorrow, every second Thursday at Make-Out Room will be Kissing Booth, indie songs for romantic lovers. TRAMP will be moving to Pink starting on Thursday, July 24th, and it will still make you dance your little pink hot-pants off. We’ll have Mario Muse DJing with us for the July dates, and hopefully for many more. See you at the disco.

Hey you,

Long time, no talk, occasional text, and that time I Facebook poked you when I was drunk (I never poke sober, I swear). Well anyway, as luck may have it, I’m coming back East from July 31st to August 13th. New York, Jersey Shore. It’s going to be all Black Keys, white weddings, Red Stripes, yellow kayaks, and blue balls. Wait, not that last one.

So if you’re around, lets get hopped up and make some bad decisions.

Hugs and kisses, love and wishes,

KP

I swear, I didn’t see the sign till afterward.

Yo party people. I’m DJing at the W Hotel in SF tonight (map) from 9pm to 1am. I’ll be spinning mostly 80s and rock, fun dancey songs. Come by and hang out if you’re around. I love you.

I woke up Sunday morning inspired to make a neo-disco-infused mix. Because that’s normal on a Sunday morning. Miraculously it all came together quite quickly, and it’s by far my favorite mix to date.

Track listing:

Róisín Murphy - Overpowered
Holy Ghost! - Hold On
Gui Borrato - Beautiful Life
Mark Ronson - Stop Me (Chicken Lips Remix)
Rufus Wainwright - Tiergarten (Supermayer Mix)
Quiet Village - Desperate Hours
The Black Mustang - Mad as Hell
Fern Kinney - Together We Are Beautiful

And the mix:

MP3: K.Y.L.E. - To the Stars

It’s been quite some time since my last DJ mix, but the new year brings new motivation. This latest mix was actually recorded on December 31, 2007, but with an eye on the coming year. Went with a few different styles and tempos in the beginning of the mix, but it builds up into a nice beat. The track listing is as follows:

Kate Havenevik - New Day
Tiefschwarz feat. Tracey Thorn - Damage (M.A.N.D.Y. Remix)
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye (Jason Bentley Remix)
Erlend Øye - Fine Day
Goldfrapp - Utopia (Tom Middleton’s Cosmos Vocal Mix)
LCD Soundsystem - Get Innocuous! (Soulwax Remix)
Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor (Jesse Rose Mix)
Piano Magic - Incurable
Lo-Fi-Fnk - City (Punks Jump Up Remix)
Dragonette - I Get Around (Van She Technologic Remix)

Enjoy!
