@bilaliwood: 
"I haven't played at Cityfox in NY since moved to LA a little over 4 years ago. Anytime I have played there during my years living in NY, my favorites times are the ones where I play in a room that Gunita has programmed. Usually a small room packed with familiar faces and strangers who have just discovered this tiny escape from the main stages. Musically, the room caters to a 'anything goes' vibe, which i love most, for obvious reasons.

The week of the gig, I was already in NY and I did see friends, including Gunita and Simar. Gunita told me  was closing her stage "Lucy's in the Sky". And for whatever reason unknown to me... I had already decided the trajectory of my set in my head. It didn't matter to me what was happening before my start time, but I knew the first song. And I kept telling Gunita and Simar, "just fyi... I am going to start with some banging acid track..."  to which they replied "yeah, sure, do whatever you want".  The reason I mention this is:
1. they haven't particularly heard me play "hard" techno-ey tracks often... not that this mix is hard... like i said, i had a trajectory in mind for closing the stage.
2. i knew Simar would be thrown off, when the time came, at my set.  

And so i arrive to Cityfox's Halloween Festival at the Brooklyn Mirage,  45min before my set time, and its late, and its cold, and my stage is up in a tower....OUTSIDE... but i was prepared...that is, warmly dressed. And loved every minute that i got to just play out the closing hour, up in that tower, for those few that braved the cold. By the time i was done, the sun had already started to rise. And that sorta ties to the trajectory of the set. 

Shout out to Cowboy Roy, Hernan and of course, Simar for sticking with me outside the entire time. If i miss NYC for anything, its for the people. 

Thanks for having me back and letting me do something I really love.. "

bilaliwood - Cityfox Halloween LIVE 2024 (Lucy's in the Sky stage)

I played a gig recently in june and got the recording... and i just didnt think it was great. it wasnt received poorly in the moment at the gig, that was all fine. but as a recording where i played 80/20 digital/vinyl, i just dont think it should have been that "jarring". im not super harsh on myself and i have learned to move on over time in this aspect.  i shared it with a friend and he said "oh dont  sweat it, it went well in the moment" - sure, like i said, it did.  but i would not be happy or "proud" putting it out.  fine. whatever. 
anyway, i kinda was not over it. so i decided to record a mix at home, this time 80/20 vinyl/digital. i got to pull old records that i havent seen or played in a while as well as some of the most recent music ive bought. 


the mix is dedicated to those peeps that care enough to: 
1. keep me in check
2. inspire me to do better; not better than 'others' BUT just, improve myself.
