WARREN G & TRVS - AM

THE LIVING LEGEND HIMSELF MR. TRAVIS BARKER

BLINK 182 REUNION

Yo sorry, been lagging again on the blog. Had to do a lot of boring shizz thizz week. Had some fun too.  Wed went to the Standard to see Andy Milonakis perform his cult hit Twitter Dat, and Freestyle...surreal to see hollywood chicks watching Andy/Dirt Freestyle for 40 mins..

Thursday was the T-Mobile Sidekick LX launch party. TRVS-AM played as well as WEEZER and BLINK 182. I went w Dirt Nasty and Andy. The party was on the paramount lot. It was in the streets for what looked like a NYC set..not in a soundstage which was cool. I had IL CONO gelato (2 helpings) and every other food item offered. It was packed w hollywood locals and tons of HAWT chicks..

TRVS-AM was great. They did the set they did at Coachella complete w WARREN G. Missed Weezer, but I'm sure they were good. Then a suprise. BLINK 182 performed for the first time in ??? years.  I love TRAVIS...we share a love for rap and blunts..BLINK was never my favorite..( i'm a metal head ) where TRAV is a (punk rock dude)...but it was fooking cool neverthe less...my twitter was blowing up when I started TwitPic'ing the show!!

Hung wit TRAV after the show, and made an appt for next week to swap beats and try to get one more song outta him and MICKEY...

It was a good ole fashioned Bolthouse( shouts to JEN) Production LA party( food, rappers, stars, and loads of girls)....all we needed was to go to Joseph's in a time machine set to 03' and smoke OG wit a pre Brit Federline and it woulda been like Classic Vintage 2000's LA...

Studio today w FLUEE ( been hangin w him a lot) he's got this crazy new style that we r working on..stay tuned for more soon.

check the pix above and check my twitter for more pix of thizz last week

tour dates for Blazed and Confused Tour w SNOOP, STEVEN MARLEY, SLIGHTLY STOOPID, and MICKEY AVALON here.

Steel Panther "Death to all but Metal" video

After looking back through this blog and reading some of the entries, i've realized there has been a lack of hair/glam metal . I love all kinds of music from Sade to Slayer to Brad Paisley to New Kids on the Block and back around again.  ..Anyways as a kid , I basically grew up listening to Hair Metal and  Gangsta rap. These 2 genre's have remained my 2 favorites over the years.  I've had the rap part covered (in the blog) but need to include more Metal in the blog to give u more insight into the mind of DJMACKEY...

So here iz a video from STEEL PANTHER. Guess it's been out for a month or 2..but I just saw it for the first time. For those of you who don't know about STEEL PANTHER...they are the biggest cover band in the world and they make their own songs in the classic metal style as well.  They play every Monday nite at the KEY CLUB. They have become a very profitable act who plays more and gets more $$$ than a lot of the bands they mimic!! Click here and here to get more info on the band formerly known as METAL SKOOL....

Here is their video for "Death to all but Metal"....it talks a lot of shit, just like they do onstage..enjoy!!

more metal coming soon..MacktraXXX

Accidental Burlesque!!

I got a ride home from the OC Awards with our dancers Jillian and Hannah. Jill had to go dance at a Burlesque club (after our gig) and was late so Hannah and I went along. I'm sure Glad I did. It was soooo fun. Amazing live art.. A jazz trio played while a girl danced on the custom made runway/bar. The club was in Boyle Heights and the crowd was lovely.

FNF Party !!!

The GRAMMY energy has definately allready started...1st party post

After our private gig for an A-list director w/ stars like Leo D'caprio in the house, I went w/ Branden Williams (Mickey Avalon's manager) and producer Justin Trugman to a huge party on the Paramount lot inside a huge soundstage they usually make movies on. The party was called FNF standing for "friends and family" of the Industry. It was hosted by Lil Jon and thrown for a couple of people including our friend super producer DR. LUKE (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Avril Levine, Kelly Clarkson and a million others). He's also executive producing Mickey's album.  A bunch of people DJ'd including Pete Rock and the one and only DJ AM (see pic above). Talib Kwelli performed and no one cared. AM came on after Kwelli and got the party JUMPING! He never ceases to amaze me. And after surving the plane crash, he has this super hero vibe to him and is more humble then ever.

The party was fun! Everyone one from the music biz was there. More producers, rappers, singers, writers, A&R's, label exec's and fine womenz then I've seen in one place in awhile. Then guess who I see? Kojack!!, and he was feeling nice!! After spending the last three days with him, when we saw each other, we had a brothers from another mother scream(JYEAHAH!!) and he gave me some vodka...his suit was the wackiest thing you've ever seen. Wish I had a picture. I'll get one I'm sure. Got to meet a lot of the Swede's from Max Martin's school of pop and saw a lot of new and old friends and associates. It was fun hanging w/ all my producer friends and getting to meet some new one's whose work I respect.

But check this! This is theeeee best thing to happen all night! I'm at the bar and I look over and who is it? NIPSEY HU$$LE!!! My favorite new rapper from LA. I've been listening to his mixtape's all week and have been telling everyone about him. I even posted a blog about him and Jay Rock, on my first or second day blogging. So u can see I'm excited. I step to him and tell him that I think he's next to blow and told him he's my new fave and all that. He says thx homie and asks what I do. "I make beats" I say. He gets excited and gives me his number and tells me let's hook up.  So now I'm geeked! Mission accomplished.  Add a hug and a pound from AM as he's leaving and a brief but meaningful convo w/ DR LUKE on my way out, and I'm on cloud 9.

Slept all day today. Now I'm up. Gonna make some tracks for MR. HU$$LE !!

Now so see ya later fam bam'z
