Today I was digging through some old media, and I found a nice piece of work done by my good friend Nick Lochman. It’s a nice Audio-Visual entitled “Skatography”, and it features some vintage pre-9/11 good times in the good old SMTX 78666. The music was done by .::liquidstereoproject, and it’s a little ditty called Abstract Freefall.
Check it out, and flash back to an easier time…

Beautiful spirit.
Ear for blues.
Eye for beauty.
Enjoy.
Here is a video for Electric Mayhem, composed from photos from Jessica and music from Compound Abstract. Ignore the promotional aspect of this particular audio-visual.

San Marcos has been a wealth of inspiration… the town is full of musicians, artists, young business owners, aspiring politicians and otherwise creative people. One community it lacked, however, was a community of solid DJs.
Meeting sPYhOP put an end to my solo journey as a San Marcos DJ. An enlightened spirit who shares a passion for music similar to mine, he is a purist through and through. sPYhOP truly encompasses the working class hero : he is a family man, a student, an on-air personality, an aspiring graphic novelist, and a first-rate independent journalist.
I had the pleasure to help him begin his pet project, The Underground Post. Originally a print publication, it has grown into an online hub for all things involving art, music and culture. sPYhOP also stepped in for DJ Crown as a member of Electric Mayhem, and he throws down every Monday night at Triple Crown using vinyl only.
Take a second to peek into the world of sPYhOP, and I promise that you will not be disappointed. Who knows, you may even be inspired to be heard as well.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure to meet scores of performers. They have covered the entire spectrum of musicality. Out of these many artists, never have I met one more unique than Henry + the Invisibles. A self proclaimed onemanphunkband, Henry melds classic musical ability with a bold and adventurous sense of digital experimentation. The result is a seamless blend of old school and new school… instant classic music and showmanship. I have played a few shows with this cat, and I hope that there are many more to come over the years… that is, unless he blows up and becomes a household name, which he is fully capable of.
Here’s a little preview of my good friend Henry, way back in 2010:
