Brick City House | Apr 28, 2010 | w/Guest Miss Kai
Posted on April 29, 2010

Good Evening, Friends and Fam!  And Happy Spring!!

I know for some of you it may not feel quite like Spring is here (NY, I heard you guys just got snow – very sorry to hear that!), but trust when I say that it is mos def here and making it’s presence known.  From hay fever to splotches of sunshine, we here at the BCH are getting the full Spring [nose and eye] rub-down.  Sometimes it’s cute.  Sometimes it’s really not.  But one thing is certain, no matter what the weather you will find the sounds that will make it all better!  And for today’s Brick City House show, we’ve brought you something that will do just that …

Miss Kai brings you the Shimmy

Today’s BCH Guest brought us her Southern-Fried Soul all the way from Nashville, Tennessee.  DJ MissKai brings a shimmy unlike any other.  Her sounds are soulful, deep and, yes, even gritty with an ounce of bounce – all at the same time. Her ability to move between genre’s is what captured our attention when we first came across Miss Kai’s sound.  But it was the way she kept us locked in her groove and, most importantly, locked in her vibe that kept us listening.  Miss Kai is on a continuous journey of self-exploration through her Music.  She’s tuned in to the many ways that Music can affect others, and trust when I say that this goes way beyond any dance floor she’s rocking.  When you hear our interview with Miss Kai you will hear where she is coming from and why she has chosen Music as her medium to speak to the masses.  When it comes to her mix, all I can say is this, “trust me“.  No matter whether your in the sun, rain, or snow Miss Kai WILL bring that sunshine-feeling straight to your heart.  So kick off those shoes, relax, and serve yourself a healthy dose of  Miss Kai’s chicken soup for your soul.

Tune in next week as we welcome Chicago’s very own, Karl Almaria, to step into the BCH booth.  DJ/Producer and founder of Bunchlox Music.  Karl has been a solid fixture on the scene for over a decade, and with no plans of going anywhere, you can expect to hear much, MUCH, more from him in the decades to come.  This is a show that you DO NOT want to miss, Freaks!

Till next week, Freaks, do be good to yourself!  Live, Love, and be true to who YOU are.  Freak Freely!
Enjoy Music,
Sista

Some global noise is being made down the road from me…I look forward to working with K789 (the duo of DJ’s K[7] and 789) in the near future  :-)

World Town: Bringing the Global Music Movement to Chattanooga

On September 11-12, borders will be erased, nationalities forgotten, and communities connected through music. The first installment of World Town, a monthly event series based on the slogan “Local based, global minded,” will feature DJs redefining the category of world music and the meaning of what it is to DJ.

The two-day christening of World Town, a year-long project put together by local DJ and MakeWork grant recipient Phillip Allen, a.k.a. K7, will feature globe-trotting DJ, journalist, label owner, blogger, and “bass pioneer” Jace Clayton, a.k.a. DJ /rupture, of Brooklyn. Clayton, who has been described by the The New York Times as “a thoughtful pipeline for music from countless distant and obscure outposts,” will be stopping through Chattanooga following several European and Latin American dates.

“With World Town I am seeking to redefine the community’s perception of the music and culture from various Global Diasporas,” says Allen. “People usually think of a culture and say to themselves, ‘Brazilian music sounds like this, or African music sounds like that,’ but there is so much more bubbling right below the surface. I’m seeking to create diversity through sound, by showing the local community how genres such as Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae, and even the Blues have been reinterpreted in other cultures.”

The event will begin at 7 P.M. on Friday, September 11 at CreateHere with a lecture by Clayton, discussing how his experiences performing in over 30 countries have influenced and helped to shape his original productions and mixes. Following the talk will be a short turntablism and sound composition demo. The night will conclude with a Q&A session and DJ set by local duo K789. The lecture is free, open to the public and will be broadcast live via Allen’s blog, pastichemusic.net/blog.

From 9 am – 2am on September 12, following AVA’s GalleryHop studio tour, DJs /rupture and K789 will take Chattanooga on a tour of the world through music at Contrapasso. The event space will come alive with hot tunes straight from the barrios to boroughs, favelas to townships, and everywhere in-between. Admission for the event is $10 with proceeds benefiting International Justice Mission.

“A good DJ constructs cultural narratives in their sets similar to a storyteller,” says Allen. “For me DJ’ing is like a conversation. Instead of telling someone about an artist I like, I can present it to them and get instant feedback. If they like it, I can go a little further and play more music that’s similar. It’s that exchange that I love the most about being a DJ.”

 In 2006 I did this mix (done with Mixmeister) for my birthday & for some reason or another, never finalized & post it.  A little fun & eclectic mix…a celebration of the wonderful sign of Gemini *cheesy grin*

Much love goes out to one of my dear friends, Fyza, out of Manchester UK.  Also out of Manchester UK , have to say wassup to Zed Bias AKA Maddslinky.  And lastly, I’ll always have love & respect for my homegirl, Joi…had to rep for TN at the end. LOL

Enjoy…
