I dropped a new mix this week called Rack Skinny (get it?) and also put my bootleg of Meek Mill “House Party” up for free on my Soundcloud page. The Meek bootleg will also be on Trap Rave 2.0, and you can hear a lot of other tracks that will be on that EP on the mix.

Trap Rave 2.0 will be out on 6/5. More goodies to come tho!

There’s also a weird cumbia edit I did of Mac Dre and Mac Mall’s turf dancin/giggin/oakland hood wilin out on someone’s car roof anthem “Giggin”. It’s way more of an edit than a remix but it’s a fun new take on a ridiculous local classic (?).

And yeah it probably looks bad that I’m posting this at 3 AM on Friday a week after I put this stuff out. The site is getting an overhaul which should streamline some things. Bear with me. In the mean time, Twitter, Facebook and Soundcloud are great ways to keep up with me!

Toddla T played my remix of Gucci Mane’s “North Pole” on his BBC Radio 1 show this week! Click through to listen (for the next two days). “North Pole” will be out as part of Trap Rave 2.0 on 6/5 via Young Robots!

Also includes an interview with Narwuar and a classic NY house set.

After almost seven years, DJ Apt One and I are ending the Philadelphyinz party.  We will still be doing Hot Mess at Silk City and collaborating on projects through Young Robots.

The final Philadelphyinz will be on 5/12 at Medusa Lounge, and we are thrilled to have Stretch Armstrong joining us.

But first, Hot Mess is a week from Friday (5/4).

Heads up … bonus extra Players Club tonight (4/11) with me and Sammy Bananas on the wheels.  Usually it’s just first and third Wednesdays, but we’re in for one extra this month.  Lucky you!  You know the deal, 10 PM – ???, upstairs at Pianos, 158 Ludlow in the LES.  I got drink tickets, just ask.

And then this weekend, moombahton stalwarts and friends-of-Skrillex Sazon Booya joining us in the basement at Medusa for Philadelphyinz on Saturday!  SB (aka Mr. Vega and DJ SAV) are the exception that proves the rule for a genre filled with so many terrible artists.  They put on a great show and make great tunes.  We’re excited and proud to have them joining us.

Telephoned aka Sammy Bananas and Maggie Horn are putting out their original debut EP, “Ring Ring” today on Fools Gold! The release party is tonight and I will be spinning. There’s also free Bushmills from 9 to 10.

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD SKINNY FRIEDMAN – PRE-PARTY JAMZ HERE

MTV named me as one of the leading moombahton producers in this article on the genre. I’m honored! And I will be putting out Trap Rave 2.0 very soon.

Also honored that mustachioed nightlife impresario Nicky Digital tapped me for the latest chapter of his long-running Pre-Party Jamz mix series.  Previous contributors include Crookers, Yelle, Drop the Lime, Soulwax and plenty of others.  My entry is one of my favorite things I’ve done in a long time, it’s a slim 25 minutes and bounces between future bass and space rap.

Live from One Step Beyond by Skinny Friedman

My live set from the One Step Beyond party at the American Natural History Museum! I’m tracking down the flix too. This was really fun, I’m really happy I got the chance to play this gig. Thanks to Scott, Noah, the Dirty Projectors and all my people who came out to support.

Also PLAYERS CLUB is tomorrow, HOT MESS is Friday in Philly!

Friday I’ll be opening for the Dirty Projectors at the Natural History Museum.  It’s $25 and it includes a free pass to the museum at a later date.  I have a couple passes to the show to give away, watch my twitter for more details!
