#casbah35years Another one of my duties while working at @casbahsandiego was creating the weekly show calendar. @mrmazee and I came up with the now iconic design. I had just started doing graphic design and used Quark to create the first ads. Tim didn’t have a digital file of the Casbah logo yet, so I had to literally paste it in place before sending off to Kinkos. I think this is a later poster from early 2000s. Image 2 is the poster I did for the 12 days of Casbah Christmas. Check out that great lineup of bands. I did not design image 3, but that’s the velvet devil that hung behind the soundboard How many of these shows did you see?

#casbah35years In addition to my duties at the door of @casbahsandiego I also got to spin records for JiveWire, the regular disco night the club would host. This night would probably have been around 1998 I think. #jivewire #casbah #casbahsandiego #rockthecasbah

Hey friends! I’ll be on 91X tonight from 7-10pm with my friends/mentors Bart (Blackstone) Cheever and Tim Mays. We’ll be talking to Tim Pyles on his show Loudspeaker about a very special event coming up this Wednesday at The Casbah. The reunion/return of two legendary club/parties that I was so lucky to be a small part of in the beginning of my dj career. One Nation Under a Groove and Jivewire. There aren’t enough words to explain how important these two guys are to my dj career. One Nation was a legendary club/party that started in warehouses in downtown SD (pre Gaslamp) in the 80s. It wasn’t until the mid 90s that I met Bart at a warehouse party we both were booked at above the Stoopid Clothing store on 8th and G. I was just beginning to dj at a club called Romperoom by Todd of Playschool. I was playing vinyl from midnight to 6am and had no idea how to mix properly. Bart and I connected immediately and over time of watching him and opening for him I learned how to mix, blend, and program records from one of the best. Eventually he asked me to be a part of the One Nation family and for the next 15 years that was my life. Every weekend mixing up punk, disco, hip hop and electro into a mashed up frenzy. Bart and I travelled and played in Mexico, LA and even a weird one in Reno (ask me about it in person). We even put out a couple records! I wouldn’t be playing today if it wasn’t for meeting Bart and I’m eternally grateful. Jivewire was another legendary Casbah party that I got lucky enough to be a part of. I used to go and listen to Tim, Bart and Kenny play disco and funk until the 2am if I was I was lucky enough to get inside the building. There’d be a line down the block at the Casbah every time they’d do one. My memory is a little blurry but I’m pretty sure on the night of one party Kenny was sick and couldn’t do it and Tim called me and asked if I was available to fill in. I jumped at the chance to play with those guys. Kenny eventually moved away and I played almost every Jivewire from that date forward. Anyway, listen in tonight and hear more stories and please come Wednesday night. It’s free!! Read the comments for pic descriptions!
