Armand Van Helden spins Aero at WMC 2009
There's nothing like being friends with the DJ, lol. I shot this video from the booth at Aero (off 23rd and Collins) on Saturday night, March 28, sometime around 3 AM. The club was jumping as AVH kicked his classic hits, including My, My, My, Witch Doktor, Full Moon and more. The crowd was having such a good time, this dude started throwing money around...literally! He threw a stack of dollar bills up in the air. Too bad it wasn't C-notes. I guess it's the economy and he must have been holding back.
Netmix @ WMC 2009: Blogging, Podcasting and RSS panel
The Blogging, Podcasting and RSS panel at WMC 2009 focused on the various ways to get out the message through blogging, podcasting and RSS. Although BPM.FM and Play.FM are more streaming services than podcast outlests, the point was that Dance music radio has moved online and is where many people are accessing their favorite mix shows and artists.

Netmix WMC Update: Hangin on Collins with superstar attorney – Matthew Kletter and DJ Elyse
Fresh of my set at the Adidas store, I'm hanging with superstar Entertainment Attorney, Matthew Kletter and DJ Elyse (Ft. Lauderdale - systemaddix.com) at Cafe Del Sol somewhere on Collins Avenue. We're getting ready to head to the IRIS rooftop party, then to the X-Mix event at Aero. Stay tuned for more updates from WMC.
DJ Elyse ingenious digital promo vehicle: a pill bottle containing a $3 usb drive
I just got this pill bottle from DJ Elyse (systemaddix.com). It’s got a USB drive containing her latest mix show. I knew this was gonna happen one day, I just didn’t know when. Props to Elyse for the ingenuous marketing idea of the day.
On the label, she wrote:
“Take as often as needed”
“Unlimited Refills”
“Making Productions America Trusts”
“May Cause Euphoria. Alcohol May Intensify This Effect. Use Care When Operating A Car Or Other Damgerous Machinery.”
This is just genius!

Headed to Miami
In these troubled economic times, it’s a great opportunity to save some money and be green at the same time. Instead of driving to the airport, I figured taking the Westchester Bee Line bus service to the Westchester airport would serve to accomplish both.
The bus stop is actually just across the street from my apartment, so convenience played a big part in my decision making process.
Taking the bus also gave me the opportunity to upgrade my WordPress iPhone application, which is how I posted this blog entry.
It’s amazing to be able to publish on the fly. I can’t wait til the iPhone gets video, which will make it possible to do more with video updates while mobile. I’ve become my own media center of sorts. An amazing thing when it used to be you had to have a camera crew and broadcast signal to do what you can do today for a fraction of the cost.
This week I am finishing up a final paper for my last credit at NYU. I decided to write about how WordPress has changed the game in Web publishing and the impact i have felt since migrating Netmix onto the platform.
