Check http://www.dopemixtapes.com/ for the entire March Madness Series Ace of Spades is one of the hardest working DJs/Industry Figures in the underground scene ... SO RESPECT HIS CHAMPNESS

Breath of Fresh Air

There's always nice feel-good type feelin when I see music on the internet that I didn't post myself that I have something to do with - that means people actualy like it and weren't spoon-fed it by some marketing machine.

The video is kinda funny if you have a sense of humor and smile in picutes.

Shout out to Rebel Starr - download the EP here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dmnygx2numn


Entirely mixed by yours truly I might add...

http://www.istandardproducers.com/index.php?t=ascap

And THIS?!!



I'm just gonna have to go to both!


I feel like a lot of things went down this week! Between my production and mixing clients, to the usual iStandard VP day to day things... I found myself saying out loud in conversation to someone, "I need a team of people to handle my own shit it feels like" - I didn't even mean to say it like look at me I'm important... it just one of those moments of realization.

Take this blog for example - I would LOVE to update it daily... only thing is... I'm doing this stuff myself! No management, no team, nothing... it's just me and my network right now...

Aside from cutting even more hours of sleep each day, the daily grind just seems to more important than ever! I'm sure a lot of you can relate.

Hope to See you in PHX or LA fellow producers! Artists you need to be there too!
