—My Peeps,

In the spirit of the season, I prepared this little mix for your Christmas pleasure.
It’s nothing too fancy, just some of those 09 tracks, mixed and recorded at home, while dancing with my CDJ’s. Starts quite smoothly and gets harder towards the end, just like I like it.

2. SO MANY NIGHTS Burns (2112)
3. EVERYBODY WANTS Kid Sister & Green Velvet (Relief)
4. HUNGRY FOR THE POWER Azari & Ill/Agayo Remix  (Cliché)
5. DISCOMONSTER Le Le/Mercury Remix (Magnetron)
6. GET ON DOWN Feadz (Ed Banger)
7. ATTO D’ARMORE Serge Santiago (Arcobaleno)
8. IF YOU CAME HERE Tony Senghore (Anonym)
9. CHAPEL OF GHOULS Boy-8-Bit (Mad Decent)
10. BECAUSE OF YOU Skunk Anansie/Michel Cleis Remix (One Little Indian)
11. BANGKOK Boris Dlugosh (Phantasy)

Hope to see you at The Palladium for NYE, if not MEHDI MIXMAS EVERYBODY and see you next year—

Ask for the Madonna bagel, with extra extensions.

Popular belief amongst my crew is that Big Daddy Kane lost it when he appeared in Madonna’s SEX book, wearing his panther Speedo with his socks on (look!).
People act like they didn’t see it coming:

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Kane as much as the next 80’s baby.
I’m just wondering ‘What was he thinking?’

Pause.

Just in case you weren’t aware, Jay-Z used to be the hypeman for him.

Damn, those socks again!

Stumbled upon these old school party flyers.

The line-up on this one is simply CLASSIC.
Mr Magic died a few weeks ago, RIP.

Not only Grandmaster Flash and The Treacherous 3 are GUARANTEED TO PERFORM,
The flyer’s also telling you which songs they’ll sing.

This one is a little more sophisticated,
and has two possibly tattoo-able designs:
the NYC skyline, and the breakdancer on the right of course.

“Avoid the crowd, come stupid early!”

Our own fella ASTERIX makes a cool little cameo on this one.

“Ecstasy Garage presents:
SAVE OUR CHILDREN!”

The details on this one are crazy.
Hey, the artists (or ‘graphic designers’ would we say today) are never credited,
so, although I don’t know who they are, this post goes out to them—

M.

It’s going down—

Marco is an original Ed Banger relative.
He is a deep individual with a multifaceted personality.

A friend of the stars, who also happens to be an amazing PHOTOGRAPHER.
He shot every single Ed Banger artist for press pics, this one for example:

Or this one, of real tough love:

And even this hardcore street shot of yours truly:

When I asked him to do a guest photo post for Coolcats,
he didn’t know if the emphasize should be on TALENT:

Or else, on witnessing HISTORY IN THE MAKING:

Or on just plain SAVING THE WORLD with style:

Thank you Mr DOS SANTOS for gracefully immortalizing this world,
Your friends at Ed Banger/Coolcats.
