Get Your Evolution On

Here it is, my first published track after being introduced to the powerhouse combination of Reason and Live. It's an anti-club, club song featuring Dead Prez vocals from the Pete Rock track "Warzone."
For me, the club scene has always been a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have the primal need to turn it up to eleven, party and get down. On the other, you have skrillion dollar cover charges and Top 40 music (if I have to hear "Single Ladies" one more freaking time...).
So I give you an upLIFTed alternative, for all of you club bunnies and thugs. It's got a real grimey, yet punchy beat with some sweet synths and that Dead Prez soldier-swagger that we all know and love...
Download it here, turn it the f**k up, check it out and let me know what you think.

New Indaskyes Mixtape: Under Radar

Yo. Web.
Jared Lindo, also known as indaskyes, just released a monster mixtape entitled Under Radar. You can download this 53-minute long hip-hop head trip right here on his website. It's heavy... grimey... psyphy...My personal favorite tracks are definitely "Face N My Lap," a rocking homage to West Coast hip-hop, and a wicked Tech N9ne "T9X" mashup, the world's latest anthem for recreational drug use.
Download this mix now and turn your damn headphones up!

SUBversive Brings Psyphy to San Diego

Jettison High hosted a state-of-the-art, all-night party last week of massive proportions featuring five DJ sets banging on a professional Meyer Sound system, High-Definition visual effects with Christie Digital Projection, and High End Motion spotlights. There was even a Wii for all those who haven't learned to dance. And best of all? It was a completely free show!
The party began with DJ Prophecy spinning some old school favorites on vinyl. Traxmyth followed, representing the Bay Area with bass-heavy, psyphy mixes off of his new album, Instant Gratification (free download here). San Diego's own Facemelter stepped up next bringing ruthless mash-ups and homegrown beats to, well, melt your face! Last, but certainly not least, indaskyes turned it up to eleven with his Bay Area-based set, rocking his M-Audio Trigger Finger like no one else.

I laid down some visual support using a mix of ONYX VJ and good ol' VLC to deliver some flash-based effects and to throw up some sick Anime remixes. Some homages included Afro Samurai and Gundam 00, but also Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Space Odyssey 2001 on Blu-ray.



The entire party, which attracted about 75-100 people throughout the entire night, was organized guerilla-style in only 24 hours! Imagine what we could do with a proper timeframe... hmm...
Big thanks to all of those who came out to the first of many SUBversive events! And a scrillion thanks to all of the DJ's, especially Traxmyth and indaskyes for all of the help to make this happen. Until next time, party on...

America, This is Huge!

It's 9:35pm. One hour and thirty-five minutes ago, Barack Obama was named the first African-American to be elected President of the Unites States. It is unbelievable! I have never been more proud, nor felt more a part of this country. Like Obama said, this has been a long time coming. I sincerely hope that he will bring the change that he has promised.
Internet, I know that you've been hearing this a lot lately, but it still had to be said.
Peace.

Hey Ma, I'm On TV!

Ah, it's good to be back, interwebs.
Last Sunday, ABC ran a segment by "N Art Magazine" documenting the local arts scene here in San Diego. The sites visited ranged from the "San Diego Watercolor Society," to UC San Diego's Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA) at CALIT2, where the latest in digital art was showcased.

Some of the pieces shown include Sanctuary, a percussion ensemble written by Pulitzer-prize winning composer Roger Reynolds; the HIPerSpace, a 287-megapixel tile display wall made up of 70 30" monitors; and Adam Wilson's robotic arms that play along to music played in real time!
I was able to share the spotlight with these artists with Beatbox360 in 4K Digital Cinema with 5.1 surround sound. Check it out.
Until next time... get out and vote!

KRS-One Releases "Million DJ March" Song

In order to get the word out to the masses, KRS-One has released a new song, entitled "The Million DJ March" (which you can download from JettisonHigh.com right here). Does KRS-One crank out rhymes, or what?
In other news, I am in Washington D.C. preparing for the March myself. The weather has been raining relentlessly, but tomorrow should prove to be much better. Stay tuned for some more news and pictures from this historical event sometime this weekend.
Peace...
