After a long break.... BOOM SNAP!

2009-03-25T02:04:00.001-07:00

Where on earth has the time gone? So much has been happening lately that I sort of left this blog alone for a while. A lot has to do with my residency in South Lake Tahoe taking a lot of My energy, and well, alcohol I guess took up the rest!

As of late, I have sobered myself up and find myself focusing on more productive things! One of those things involves a new residency in Sacramento on Thursdays. This is exciting for me because it brings me back to focusing on EDM sounds rather then the Top 40 I do for a living.. If perhaps you live in the area and find yourself looking for something to do, this will be DEFINITELY worth checking out. Lite Brite Productions is putting together this awesome weekly event, so you can expect nothing less than perfection from Tim Manas and crew.

I will post up pics of the club and hopefully some mixes as well, as they do plan on recording sets for a local internet brodcasting site, Lunchbox radio.

The grand opening of this event is scheduled for this coming Thursday, March 26th. Besides myself, you can expect to hear other DJ's such as G.A.M.M.A., Mike Moss, and Dragn'fly.

Dj David Aaron - February 2008 Mix

2008-05-06T01:57:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be a good idea to post this mix I made a few months ago, I decided at first that I was not going to give it out because of the audio quality being a little weird (I blame it on Justin's Urei mixer which sucks by the way). But, rather than sit on it and let it die I wanted to post it and get some of these tracks out of the way and laid to rest.. This was a quick mix I made one night for my friends over in Chicago, just a quick one take recording... So here it is..

Download it here:

What is Stilldream?
Stilldream is something different for everyone. Ask anyone who's been and they have a hard time coming up with words to describe what it means to them. All we can say is, "Its not a party, its an experience. You have to go to understand".

Since many Stilldreamers live in different areas of California, the west coast and the U.S., fundraisers are a way that we can all reunite under one roof during the rest of the year as we all anxiously await the return of the Anniversary event. Some say its a warm-up party to get those creative juices flowing, so we can hit the ground running for the Campout.

So This is It!
Come join us for the first ever Stilldream Campout Fundraiser to hit the bay area. All of the proceeds of this event go directly into the anniversary event coming June 13, 14 and 15th 2008. Do not miss this monumental occasion!

2 Rooms / Fully Permitted!

All Responsible Ages Welcome
Bar for the 21+

Stilldream 8 Year Anniversary

2008-03-27T21:45:00.000-07:00

Once again that time of year is getting closer and you know what that means, camp out season! There are only 2 things every summer that I really look forward to, one is Burning Man, the other, Stilldream of course! That's right, this year marks the 8 year anniversary of the Stilldream camp out, and if you've been to one of these legendary camp outs before, this will be one you wont want to miss! With an amazing new venue including a huge swimming pool and a max capacity of only 800, this event promises to be big enough to have a lot of fun, yet small enough to keep that intimate feeling.

Tickets for Stilldream are on sale now on groovetickets. Be sure to get them now before the price goes up, and by the sound of things, this event could sell out pretty quick!
