Love always,

I just got back from playing fashion week in Paris along with DJs Jus Ske & Sal Morale. It was a great time and we played some amazing shows. I played parties for Tenjune and Mr. West at L’eclaireur Bar (Gallery Royale), a unique space that combines art and fashion with a nightlife environment.

Friday and Saturday nights were the highlights of the trip. Jus, Sal and I played for the Paris club and restaurant Sens at their annual “Don’t Tell My Booker” party hosted by 1Oak & Usher. Many thanks to Cyril Peret and DJ Magnum.

I ended my trip playing Sunday night at the Paris hot spot BC (Black Calavados) for a slew of models who refused to go home. I ran into my friends Jean and Paul Dupuy from Tokyo which was a bug. Thanks again to Sal Morale for orchestrating my whole trip and Jus for putting up living with me.

It was brought to my attention that former N’Sync crooner Lance Bass, was seen wearing the LOLA shirt from Les Adventures de Vibe et Max (The Adventures of DJ Vibe & Max Barbaria Mixtape) on last night’s episode of Dancing With The Stars. I thought this “don’t ask don’t tell” teen idol had joined the Army. What can I say? We have all kinds of fans. He kind of looks like Hank.

After this post I promise to stop talking about Japan unless I’m asked or I’m drunk. Anyways, I recorded one of my last sets in Tokyo @ Feria back in April and have finally gotten around to putting it out. It’s three and a half hours of continuous mixing in various styles. It will be for sale on my site…but you know I’ll post it free for the diggers. Thanks to Max Barbaria, Emmett, Sal Morale, and Paul the intern for helping me get this out.

Following my second trip to Japan this year, I will be traveling to Canada to do a performance at Toronto’s Loki Lounge. This will be my first trip to our northern neighbor and I am looking forward to it. No one likes missing summer in the Hamptons but duty calls. I miss everyone in New York and I hope to see you all Labor Day weekend.
