Collective Minds :: Sole Glow Collective Compilation Vol. 1

Posted on June 6, 2012 | Leave a comment

(from the digital desk of Eversive)

“Sole Glow Collective is a community of innovative artists in multiple mediums. We love the modern beat/electronic scene! We are vinyl collectors, beatmakers, DJs, event planners, promoters, clothing companies, graphic designers, and everything between. Our hopes are to set up a global network where we can all help support each other’s work, and get you shaking hands to have your vision manifest.”

I am so glad to be a part of this compilation. Many of my good producer friends are on here as well, and there are many more producers from all over the world. Close to an hour and a half of music, this is a MUST HAVE compilation, and I’m not just saying that because I’m on it. Download, listen, share, repeat.

Thoughts On DJ Culture :: Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice + KTSW 89.9

Posted on March 21, 2012 | Leave a comment

I recently took part in an interview with Matt Alvarez of KTSW NEWS (89.9, San Marcos). The interview focused on the underexposed aspects of DJ culture, and it also included music by yours truly. I found it interesting, so feel free to listen and judge for yourselves…

Chief Has A Platform :: DoomsdayNOW!

Posted on March 14, 2012 | Leave a comment

2012 is about trying out new things for me. One of those things will be to up the number of releases and audio-visuals I do. As a lifelong lover of music, it’s rough to see what the digital age is doing to the record stores (an unfortunate casualty)… as a musician, I’m excited that with this digital age, your only limitation is yourself.

DoomsdayNOW! is a series of songs written between It/ll Be Better Tomorrow and the forthcoming Mixed Signal Transmission. I’ve been performing True Grit for a month or two. Casual Exorcism may be one of my favorite tracks I’ve ever written… definitely going on the box set. I hope you enjoy it… it is a completely free download, and I will never charge for this one. Please share it with friends, talk about #DoomsdayNOW! on Twitter (@chief78666), and come back for more goodness in the near future!

The End of an Era :: Sundance Records is Closing

Posted on March 9, 2012 | 1 comment

I worked at this record store for a long time. It was the second place I visited in San Marcos as a student, after the dorm that I moved into. I am extremely sad to see this place go… this digital world we live in is killing a lot of analog dreams. Be sure to stop by before April 1st, because before too long, there won’t be any record stores left…

My main man and old friend Nosaprise recently invited me out to DJ the EP release for his band Screwtape. The EP, Dust It Off Make It Shine, is dope. The show was off the hook, and a lot of great bands performed… here are some of the highlights I could grab:
