Sorry for the absence . . . But if You're in NYC this weekend . . .

As some of you out there may have already heard I will soon be leaving New York for the Left/Best/West Coast and the fair city of San Francisco, but not before we can get down en masse TWO more times.

The first will be this Saturday when I will share duties with selectors Radio Rios and DJ Okay, who will inherit this coveted Saturday night slot following my departure.

The second will be next month, May 24th and will be the OFFICIAL farewell party for yours truly and the Neal Cassady to my Kerouac, Jamie Brown, for our impending road-trip out west. So mark you calendars!

Let's hope this great weather holds up for Saturday and we can enjoy the kick-ass backyard deck at Huckleberry Bar.

Check out the flyer (courtesy of DJ Okay) . . . invite your friends . . . and say "hi" when you arrive and maybe I'll share some of my cheese plate with you.

This Saturday, The Rio Deal in NYC

After taking some time away from the bustling and hustling DJ scene of NYC, I am once again throwing my hat into the ring with a new residency. I am very excited about DJing at a new bar in Williamsburg that has been all the buzz as of late. This is the same place where we had the Frank Sinatra party back in December and the place has been in on the tip of everyone's tongue since then.

The bar is located on the most recent street to receive hipsterfication in Williamsburg, Grand Street (east side of BQE). I must say, they do it right at Huckleberry. You walk in this place and its like all the design flaws of every other bar are made apparent, because this place just "feels" right, down to the sunken lounge in the back and the classy DJ booth with ample space and even a little shelf for the DJ to place his immaculately made Manhattan (possibly the best I've ever had).

Check out their website here.

As for the music, it's gonna be a mix of Soul, Funk, Disco from North and South America. I'm gonna see what the people react to on the first night and play it by ear from there. No musical agenda other than making people shake, shimmy, head-nod or dance, whatever their preference might be. If I don't know you already, please come by the booth and introduce yourself. I'll be back every 4th Saturday of the Month, so mark those calendars.

I hope to see some of you there.

Allen aka 'the ambassador'
