Steve Aoki took the Saturday/Thursday party at Firestone to another level last night! The Dim Mak don played an unbelievable set covering everything from MSTRKRFT & Erik Prydz, to Queen and Bon Jovi. The crowd sung along as Aoki jumped around, danced on the DJ booth, climbed speakers, and poured grey goose into fans mouths.

I was very impressed at how smoothly he mixed from track to track, not missing one beat, all while dancing, jumping and falling all over the place. At one point in the night Steve was standing on top of the DJ setup next to the turntables, as he went to jump off he lost his footing and hit his head on a table behind the booth. He seemed to black out for 10-15 seconds, for a moment I was really concerned but as we went to help him up he came to. He looked bewildered for a second but then just began to smile and jumped right back up in front of the turntables!!

Aoki AKA Kid Millionaire is the ultimate party DJ, his track selection was so versatile covering multiple genres and making it all sound so good together. Steve also brought along a bunch of rad Dim Mak gear including some special limited edition Tees which he was signing for the fans.

After Steve closed his set with an epic rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, I had the daunting task of following him to close out the night. I continued in the same musical direction as him, dropping the Sebastian remix of “Killing in the name of” along with other party favorites. A few tracks into my closing set I played Steve Aoki’s remix of MetroStation’s “Control”. He got back up on stage with me and we jumped threw the track together throwing bottles in the air. I guess Steve decided my shirt wasn’t cool enough, so he ripped it off my head and fitted me up with a fresh Dim Mak tee all while exposing my pancake nipples to the packed crowd!

This Thursday the great Steve Aoki will be spinnin’ at Saturday/Thursday at Club Firestone. Be there.

P-Diddy says, “Be there.. or die.” True story.

In other news, a black bear takes a dip in the Hard Rock Hotel pool at about 4:20am. In the bear’s defense, there were no signs prohibiting it from swimming there. He escaped. Never caught em’. Thermal imaging much?..

“When we were on acid, we would go into the woods, because there was less chance that you would run into an authority figure. But we ran into a bear. My friend Duane was there, raising his right hand, swearing to help prevent forest fires. He told me, “Mitchell, Smokey is way more intense in person!” — Mitch Hedberg

Ohh – and this is what I found on my journey yesterday.

Real mature, guys. Subtle 9/11 jokes are so last year. Now, it’s all about Robert Kennedy assassination jokes. Right, Hillary?

On Friday, nearly 130 teenage protesters walked out of class to combat the proposed schedule change for the 2008-2009 public school year. The proposal posted on the OCPS website states that middle school students would be starting school as early as 7:30 with high school students now coming in as late as 9:30. Most students stated that this will take away from clubs, sports, and jobs as well as placing younger kids to wait for buses in the dark.

With this in mind, we’ve established a check list for you to establish your very own protest!

1. First and foremost, the key to a good protest is a good heart.

I just read somewhere that all you have to do is find something to complain about. Common themes: People benefiting at your expense, Updates: Modern Times, Gas Prices, Politics, and THE WAR.

2. To be carefully considered – your next objective is to determine how you’ll be protesting.

“We’re going streaking! Sorry, sorry, we’re goin’ streaking through the quad and then to the gymnasium. Come on everybody! Come on! Snoop! Snoop-a-loop! Snoop…uh, no, it’s cool! It’s cool! I’m cool, bring your green hat!”

I do have to admit, these kids picked a clever one. The one thing they stand up for ironically enough is still to get out of class. But in all seriousness, I commend them for having the maturity – they remained peaceful, which is more effective. But to those of you who might be protesting.. some advice: You get someone tasered at your protest and your cause just became global. You’re welcome.

3. After you’ve established how you’ll protest, you need to share it with a friend!

Lets say that you had no friends. Well, we’ve got that taken care of! Right, Myspace? Students from Wekiva High School organized their initial and successful walkout through Myspace, Facebook, text messaging, and “pass it on’s.” Don’t be afraid, post an event invitation! Why, just today, I joined the Facebook Group for the protest. This Myspace link was also posted on Orlando Sentinel’s website.

4. Now, just sit and wait for your protest to build

“I very excite,” stated one Wekiva High School student affected by the schedule change.

Now, Tuesday is the official protest being held for the school board meeting. It starts at 4:55. For those of you thinking of attending:

445 West Amelia St.

Myspace Page.

I think Orlando in general is in need of a good protest. You complainers keep a look out. Orlando had a march/sit/stand/smoke earlier this month on the 3rd at City Hall for the legalization of marijuana. And well.. let me just say that they had a Myspace and Facebook page for their event. Anyone have any photos from that?

Keep complaining, Orlando. East-West Expressway, maybe? I can have a Myspace Event Invitation ready to go if you guys don’t feel like paying tolls anymore. This one definitely will be dangerous, including on-coming cars at speeds of up to 85 mph. Which, by the way – I need someone to help me print out waivers..

pphhheeewwww!! You really got me this time Mr/Mrs. Defame!! I was positive you were writing up a blog about me and pulling every douchebaggie picture of me with a popped collar from 2004 off my myspace.

Last night, after drinking a little to much at “Crush”, I came home and became super blogger on DefameOrlando.com. Someone insulted my Saturday/Thursday and I went off on a tirade about how S/T was still a great party, which created a shitstorm of comments. There was then a post written by Mr/Mrs Defame on the front page stating that “Dr. Dawe (sic) has fed himself to the wolves” and something about how there was a new blog on the way.

I spent the whole day nervous. I kept running the possible blog scenario through my head… all the bad pictures of me with a “knightlyfe” logo at the bottom, all the dude-bro flyers I have been on, and even some of the mash-ups I have created. I obsessively checked the site from my phone as I was out during the day anxiously awaiting the next post which Mr/Mrs Defame claimed would be a “doosy”. I was freaked out so bad I deleted all the content off my myspace page!! (true story, www.myspace.com/DJDoctaDawe).

I was pleasantly surprised when I came home and saw that Mike Busey and the porto potty he calls “The Sausage Castle” was the target of the latest defame and not me. Having worked with Busey in the past I know he loves that “Local Celebrity Status”, and I couldn’t find a better target for defamement myself… sorry Busey!

Look Mr/Mrs Defame! Nothing says I am classy like a chilled bottle of Verdi Spumante. It is soft fruity, with a light alcohol content and calories, deliciously sparkling and zesty. Verdi Spumante is perfect for all occasions, barbecues, gathering, puke infested UCF bars, and because of its charming characteristics its a crowd pleaser!

Lil Jon has “Crunk Juice”, Insane Clown Posse has “Faygo”… we have Verdi.

Hey, and just for not defaming me, I owe you a bottle! Whenever you want to claim it just look for the guy on the bathroom floor of the sigma chi house any random Friday night. I’m usually wearing a pink hollister shirt with the collar popped and laying in a puddle of my own vomit while my buddies draw huge cocks on me with sharpies and take pictures of their balls on my face.

If you haven’t heard about this by now you are seriously out of the loop. Defame: Orlando is a blog that is written anonymously calling out people left and right in the Orlando nightclub industry! This actually was my original concepts for this site but Mr. Promo manager Matt was scared it would ruin our rep! Thanks Matt, they have 12,000 hits in like two days now!!! All kidding aside this blog is funny as hell, they have called out everyone from Ladder climbing scene kids (pictured above), to “The Tropics”, Mr. N. Sync: Chris Kirkpatrick, and tons of other local celebrities, nobodys, DJ, photographers, and camera whores. I give Defame: Orlando two thumbs up for having the balls to say what many of us wanted to. Check it out yourself at: http://defameorlando.blogspot.com

And hey, Mr or Mrs Defame…. Please be gentle if we receive your wrath of defamement.

Well, I haven’t had the opportunity to check out the new TD’s in person. But being in the Industry I have heard a lot of peoples opinions on the new UCF bar. Not only have I been talking to people around this college town, but I have also read articles in local news papers and online, seeing what people think.

According to The Central Florida Future, there are a lot of mixed feelings on the new place. Though it is owned by the same guys who own Liquid Cellar, it is a non smoking facility which means it SMELLS GOOD! Shit, who would have thought? Students said that the old Don Pablo’s building is alot newer and the sound system is way better than a lot of other bars around the area. “Its not gross like other local bars” says Christine Zangen.

While cleanliness and a good smelling atmosphere is a great thing, others say that TD’s isn’t all that. “Right now, as a bar alone, it doesn’t have anything that makes you want to go there opposed to anywhere else.” said Jee Shum. Since the bars Grand Opening was on Cinco Do Mayo, could they have dished out all of the magic on that one night? Or will they continue to WOW us? Sure Playboy was there (WOW), but was that $15 cover charge a little too much for some college kids to dish out?

I will have to make a trip out there soon to see how this bar sizes up to the rest of the UCF line up. Until then, I leave my opinion open. What do you guys think!? Take the Poll below.

S/T is the biggest party in town… check the pics for proof! Last week’s special guest Bonde De Role killed it with crazy obscene portuguese lyrics about dirty assholes: (from “Melo do Caldinho”): “I was at a party/And I saw a whore/I put my tongue into her asshole/And my tongue came out all dirty.”

wow, I’m glad we couldn’t understand those lyrics! Villians played a sick set after the Bonde De Role performance blending all kinds of crazy shit together, Flo-rida with Mylo, Justice with Pink Floyd…. definitely one of the hottest sets heard at the S/T party to date! Check all the pics in the photos section. S/T FOREVER!!

For those of you not familiar with Bonde De Role check out the following article from Rolling Stone…

A few years ago, Diplo — the genre-crushing Philadelphia DJ-producer and M.I.A. collaborator — discovered funk carioca, the booming Miami bass-ish sound of Rio de Janeiro’s shantytowns. “It was, like, little children screaming about drugs over a Smiths loop and a breakbeat,” says Diplo, who regularly visits Brazil. “I thought it was perfect music.” Bonde do Role, the first signing to his new Mad Decent label, have an art-school take on the sound (also known as baile funk), pairing the biggest, dumbest samples ever with comically dirty shout-rapped Portuguese lyrics. “The joke is to be as stupid and cheesy as you can be,” says MC and producer Pedro D’eyrot, “and people will buy it.”

SOUND In complete disregard for U.S. copyright law, Bonde do Role (D’eyrot, 22, MC Marina Ribatski, 21, and producer and DJ Rodrigo Gorky, 25) pile super-recognizable samples — AC/DC, the Grease soundtrack, Tone-Loc — into an over-the-top party-starting mix. A typical lyric (from “Melo do Caldinho”): “I was at a party/And I saw a whore/I put my tongue into her asshole/And my tongue came out all dirty.” “That’s the shit we’re doing, man,” D’eyrot says. “Nasty stuff. Sex with food, general perversion.”

WHAT’S NEXT The group is planning a U.S. tour this summer and is working on an LP with Diplo. “We’re going to try to use some samples that are not so recognizable and try to get a guitarist,” says Gorky. But for now the trio is psyched to be playing increasingly raucous live sets at home. “The crowd at the last show was a mix of playboys and, how do you say, high-class whores,” says D’eyrot. “That was crazy.”
