2008 Shaping Up To Be CRAZYNUTS!

Yes...

CrazyNuts.

E.C.F. is staying the course coming into the new year. Looking at real big things that lie ahead.

As mentioned, we got placed on the Underground Railroad Mixtape...and are going to be throwing a HUGE fiesta in celebration.

Landing new DJ gigs in the heart of Boston...adding a Thursday night, and throwing in another Friday night. Being in the city means a whole helluva lot - to me at least...but to any performer. I've missed being in the scene since graduating from NEU, and moving out of the city.

I'm pumped about the Thursday @ the 33 Lounge! The place is OFF THE HOOK. Walls changing color all around you...neon greens, purples & reds. Dance music upstairs...all sorts of house, techno & various electronica. DJ Shyne, though, will be setting up shop DOWNSTAIRS. As you descend the stairs, a plethora of colors hit you. The walls provide a bright enough light to watch your steps, but bright to the point that all you see is dark at the bottom. Turn to the right, and you'll find the main entrance to the Hip Hop room.

The Hip Hop room keeps the same color schematics as the upstairs - neon all around the bar. The DJ Booth is tucked to the left, and the room is L shaped. Subwoofers all around the room, with high quality two-way speakers hidden in the ceiling. A mesh material acts as a camouflage to the speakers above, but at close look you can see the Mackie's thumping. The DJ who was there upon my first visit played everything I would play - for the most part - however I must admit, and boast - my skill level is significantly higher. That's essentially how I broke it down to the promoters. Same tunes, Better DJ...Let's just worry about getting people through the doors.

The 33 Lounge is GORGEOUS...no doubt about it. There is no reason why you shouldn't come out to party. Oh. Forgot to mention. There is NO COVER! This is the first promoter I've worked for in a LONG time who makes it this easy. Just get on the Boston V.I.P guestlist (bostonviplist@gmail.com)



We are also looking at establishing an additional Friday night at either Aria or Mantra...both SUPERCLUBS in their own right. Aria is immediately recognizable as one of THE top spots in the city. Mantra is GREAT! I visited Mighty Mystic there for his BDay party a while back...and loved it. Stay tuned.

E.C.F. Productions as also getting into the studio EARLY!

We've got Reality's album we are looking at starting, look for a 2nd quarter release on that.

Mad Bwoy's album is looking to get a jump start as well, and E.C.F. is going to help in more ways than one...so we are hoping Summer time on that...but maybe earlier depending on other situations.

D'Arryval is going to be recording two of our new riddims over the next month.

Hamel has joined the camp, adding a soulful - sample laden aspect to our production team.

J Boogz & myself are getting the tracks together for the ULTIMATE party mixtape...the Just Bump It series. Volume 3 coming in the 1st quarter.

I've written a shit ton today.

Chew on that.

PEACE
