Wow I thought I would have blogged this 2 yrs ago.
I am glad that I have been invited to be part of this battle. Red Bull has done an awesome thing and took DJ battle to a different level. Instead of the DMC battles you’re use to this is more of a Party Rock battle. here is Their explanation of it.
What is Red Bull Thre3Style?
- An international DJ competition to crown the most versatile Party-Rock DJ
- 8 Local DJ’s will perform for 15 minutes each (2 DJ rigs set up on stage and they alternate)
- There is one simple rule: Play at least 3 genres of music
- There is one simple objective: Rock the house
- Hosted by credible media personality Rock T.
- 3-4 Judges are comprised of local music writers, promoters, and headlining DJ‘s.
- The judges evaluate each performer based on creativity, track selection, skills, stage presence, and audience response.
There will be 8 regional U.S. qualifiers. Each regional winner will be awarded a $1,000 PRIZE and will represent their region in the national qualifiers held in Denver in October 2010. The winner from the national contest will then win a cash prize and a trip to compete and represent the USA in the International Red Bull Thre3 Style competition held in Paris 2010.
For 2010 the following twelve countries are all holding Red Bull Thre3Style events, with local qualifiers and then country finals: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA.
Here is my homey Skratch Bastid talking bout it as well

Lets face it we all want to win the lottery, and I know the odds of winning are like a gazillion to one but I know there is some supreme being up there that will keep me from winning due to all the dumb shit that I would do with the money.
1. I would Buy Addiel G a Brand New Custom BMW M6
Yea I know that sounds like an awesome gift, but here is the thing Addiel hates that car. So what I would do is buy it but keep it in my name so that he could not sell it. Addiel Also loves leather seats and sun roofs, so first I would pay extra to have a sun roof on the car but to make sure that it never works. I would also take out the leather seats and replace them with school desk chairs made custom to fit in that car. And remember I would keep the car in my name so that he would either have to drive it or let it sit there.
2. I would buy my brother Ed and his fam a mansion.
My brother Ed lives with his wife and 2 kids in a pretty dope house, so I would have to go out and purchase a Mansion to get him to sell his house and move. What I would do tho is send in a work crew to tear enough walls down to where this mansion is one huge living room and 2 rooms big enough to fit a bed and drawer. I would also put only one bathroom for them.
3. Pay people to “Shut Up”
Have you ever been out in public and just been so annoyed by people’s conversation that you wish you could just tell them to shut it? Well I would walk around with Gs in my pocket for times like this. i would just walk up to people and hand them a few hundos and tell them, “here is this money now please just shut the fuck up!”
4. Fun at the urinal
I’ve just always wanted to pee on the person’s shoe and if I were a millionaire I’m sure I could just throw a few bucks at my victim and they’d be ok with it.
5. My Dad
I would make sure my dad would never have to work again, but I would make a total role reversal and give him a weekly allowance.
6. Hookers
Not for me stupid! I would pay hookers and randomly send them to baby showers, engagement parties, and events of that sort. Shit I’d even send them to people’s houses just to see reactions.
Of course my list goes on, but I think I’ve given you enough to agree with me that someone upstairs looking over us will never allow me to win.
I was stoked when I learned that I was going to be playing a show with Bobbito Garcia because to me Bobbito was underground Hip Hop in the mid nighties. I remember the homey Ingtoo! had a tape that he recorded of the Stretch and Bobbito show when he was in New York, and we would listen to it like a church sermon. I would also snatch up ever single I could that Fondle Em put out. Then there was the Siah and Yesha Da Poed Ep that we could never find, and after paying like 50 bucks to get a copy ingtoo! would email Bob weekly asking if it would ever get repressed. Well Fast forward to 2010 and Bobbito is in the building and I am DJing before and after him. Wow how far I have come, well to pay respects to someone who I have been a fan of since I really got into DJing I had to drop my fav song from his old label. I knew he would figure that I was playing Clear Blue Skies by Juggaknots quickly, but not in the first 2 or 3 seconds.
Shout out to Mic King for the footage
Peep my homey the Young Genral Franklin P in the vid next to Bob
I did this mix for Jelly Radio, and for some reason that I am unaware of it never got played.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Former “Growing Pains” actor Andrew Koenig was found dead Thursday in a wooded area of a sprawling downtown park where he enjoyed spending time, apparently after committing suicide.
The actor’s father, Walter Koenig, said “my son took his own life,” and police spokeswoman Jana McGuinness said, “I’ll let Mr. Koenig’s words speak for themselves.”
“He was obviously in a lot of pain,” Walter Koenig said, referring his son’s lifelong depression.
McGuinness, speaking at a press conference at the park, said foul play was not involved, but said she could not be more specific because the coroner was taking over the investigation.
Andrew Koenig, 41, had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom as Richard “Boner” Stabone, a pal of star Kirk Cameron’s character, Mike. The native of Venice, California, hadn’t been seen since Feb. 14, while visiting friends in Vancouver.
He was supposed to return home two days later. His parents reported him missing Feb. 18, then asked the public for help finding him a few days later.
On Tuesday, Vancouver police and three search-and-rescue teams looked for any signs of Koenig throughout Stanley Park, which covers more than 1,000 acres (400 hectares). Friends and family decided to try again on their own Thursday and one of them found Koenig’s body near a marsh in a heavily wooded area about 100 feet (30 meters) off the Bridle Path. McGuinness said the body could not be seen from the walking path.
The elder Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on the original “Star Trek” TV series, was nearby when the body was found. Hours later, Koenig and his wife, Judith, issued a statement at a police station in the park.
They said Andrew had been depressed, and had said earlier that he had given away his belongings and had been off his medication. They urged others who are having trouble coping to seek help.Click here to find out more!

“If you are one of those people who can’t handle it any more, know people are out there who really care before you make that final decision,” Walter Koenig said. “Talk to somebody.”
Koenig had said he that his son had cleaned out his apartment in Los Angeles, a city where he felt like he didn’t belong. Koenig did not know his son planned to move to Vancouver, which is what Andrew told friends before he disappeared.
Andrew Koenig also appeared in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “My Two Dads,” and “G.I. Joe,” and the films “NonSeNse,” “InAlienable” and “The Theory of Everything.” His father has praised his son for his acting, film editing and directing work, and said he was also a busy environmental activist. He also was an advocate for refugees from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.
In 2008, Koenig was arrested during the Rose Bowl parade in California while protesting China’s support for Myanmar’s military government.
He came to love Vancouver after shooting a TV episode there, and once lived there for three years.
