April 25, 2012 Snob – Message From the Stars (REZ Edit)
.
Great edit by OC hoodlum and friend Rez! I met Rez one fateful night while spinning some records at good ol’ Avalon Bar. He walked in, went straight to the DJ booth and introduced himself. Now I get cool edits in my inbox and have a top notch dood to drink a beer with at Avalon Bar, lucky me! Rez has an ear for the good feeling tunes, and a knack for making to-the-point, no nonsense edits. Rez tells me he chose Snob’s “Message From the Stars” because he felt there was plenty of charm to it, and it’s obscure enough to warrant a re-rub. Sorry, no DL on this one. Rez wants to keep it under wraps. I will be playing it out from time to time though. 😉

February 11, 2012 KNOE 1 – WHERE’S MY PARTY PEOPLE? (Free Download)
This post is what this blog is all about! Connecting Orange County with the greater dance music community! I got my man KNOE1 here on the edit, straight out of Costa Mesa, CA! I’m extremely lucky to have become friends with such a talented DJ and producer and even luckier to have teamed up with him on the last Habituate Party. You can expect a lot more from this guy, I’ve been over to his studio and have heard a number of projects he is working on. He keeps them under wraps until he has them tweaked just how he likes.

September 24, 2011 First Habituate Party w/ Petropoulos, Loose Village, Brando Commando, Joshua Collins

9-2am
extra bump (subwoofers!)
$1 PBR and $3 Soju shots until 10:00pm
The first ever Habituate event is upon us and I’m happy to say it encompasses all of the different aspects that I had hoped for when starting this blog. Quality dance music, creative people, and a regional focus on Orange County. The DJs I asked to play alongside me are all OC residents and more importantly quality selectors and production artists. As I’ve written in the “About” section of my blog the first Habituate event will keep in tune with the following aural/aesthetic appeal:
The music has to make the mind move before it moves the feet or body. A good night out is a unique situation not a cliche marketing scheme and house is a time and place, not just a 4 to the floor back beat!

More on the Artists/DJs
Petropoulos
My main focus is to bridge the years and styles of dance music, I play tracks ranging from 1979 to 2011 that all coincide with the theme of extended rhythm and electronic production. I am the creator of this blog and it is my passion to introduce new sounds to the people of Orange County by interviewing international dance music artists, writing articles, reviewing new releases, showcasing local events, throwing my own parties, and holding a monthly residency called ZAP!

Loose Village (Loose Village Recordings, Strange Nature)
A quality production artist who just recently launched his own digital label internationally, Loose Village, is known for his unique tropical approach to house and his high energy sets. You may also remember Loose Village from the bi-weekly residency Strange Nature that he held with Brando Commando right here at Avalon Bar.
.
.
Brando Commando (No Come Down, Strange Nature)
Longtime purveyor of house in it’s many variations. Brando had his start as resident and co-founder of MNML, a techy house residency held at the Avalon Bar a number of years ago. He went on to become the brainchild of other parties such as Strange Nature and his most recent venture No Come Down.
.
.
Joshua Collins (Human Life, Defected)
A veteran house music producer from ’97 and now one third of the music group Human Life, Joshua Collins is up to his ears in music. He has released his original material and remixes on labels such as Defected, NRK and his own label frik:n:frak/Silent Machine recordings.

This month we are looking to new selectors for the dance floor. Guests have been a part of the plan for ZAP! and it is now coming together. Knoe 1 is what you could call a seasoned veteran when it comes to the Orange County circuit. He had a long running event at Proof Bar called Alive N Direct, DJed alongside the Double Fisted Crew and the old ZAP! crew as well. Things come full circle as they say and now Knoe 1 is making his way back over to Avalon Bar for a highly anticipated set of disco cuts and dance deviations. And he is much more than just a DJ, take a listen to some of his personal edits.

July 7, 2011 ZAP! July : It’s Summu!
Located at:
820 West 19th Street
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
.
This Saturday, July 9th, the tracks locked in the grooves of our records are amplified to full effect at our humble home the Avalon Bar. This is a night for Dancers, it is all about getting together and fulfilling these records intention: rhythmic movements amongst good company. Our record collections are ever expanding, many corners of the dance music genome will be explored!
I personally have been searching for some good extended jamming tunes to play out, I love the kind of tunes that take over and require only a gentle finesse when it comes to mixing, LET THE TRACKS DO THE TALKING!! Also I put Canyons – Fire Eyes EP in my crate in honor of the event taking place the night before our night; Leo Thomson of Canyons visits from Australia and is joining the Double Fisted Crew back in their original home, Avalon Bar. 😉
