****FEB 26TH LIVE @ O-LOUNGE HAMILTON****



WORLDCLASS MANAGEMENT BRINGS BACK ANGELO NASSO LIVE AT THE O LOUNGE
FEB 26TH.



WHO IS ANGELO NASSO?

The year is 1999. A young Angelo Nasso steps behind the decks to a crowd of hundreds, waiting to hear this fifteen year old capability. With magic in his fingertips, a lightening bolt of energy strikes the crowd as his set begins. Fire on the dance floor -- The crowd falling weakness to his music -- This spawned the beginning of his love affair with djing.

His mixture of sex, house and rock and roll causes orgasmic adrenaline to pump out of the body's of his adoring fans. His technique, irresistible – the crowds worship his every blend. Tech, electro, house and breaks fused together, causing a seizure of movements through the body.

Angelo’s experiences have brought him much success as a gateway performer for artists such as Jelo and Rob G. Still Angelo has also brought his followers to their knees with his sex-filled sounds as the core performer at such clubs as O Ultra Lounge, Absynthe, System Sound Bar, PepperJacks, Sky Dragon, Club Relax and Revolution Nightclub.

Angelo Nasso is the much desired encounter your girlfriend’s ears long for and body shivers to.



Angelo Nasso was the founder of one of Hamilton's longest running electronic radio show called 'BangMondays'. He has had the privilege of playing some of the best artists from Toronto all the way to LasVegas and had listeners from all over North America to Europe.


THIS IS ONE SHOW THAT CAN NOT BE MISSED

****NO GIGS STRESSED OUT WELL HERE ARE SOME TIPS WHEN IT COMES TO DJING****




Ok so hear it is ladies and gents , "NO GIGS = STRESS ".We all know this ,How can I get more gigs so I'm not stressed ?

Answer =Promotion

Promotion is number 1 in this business I see it all the time and have been a victim to this myself. Allot of dj's think that "hey I got a myspace page with my mixes on it that should be fine " well if you think that 1 little page with a little picture of you spinning with your hat backwards is gonna turn some heads , WAKE THE FUCK UP LOSER.

When I go to a club to see my friends dj I always get bombarded by these guys that ask me "hey bro I heard about your radio show Bang Monday's and was wondering if you can play my mix whats your email address I send it to ya " The chances of me playing your mix on my show are pretty fucking slim. The way you go about promoting yourself is very important you never know who you will be talking to , now I'm not saying that I'm some big radio dj , I'm far from that but would you approach Pete Tong that way NOOOOOOOOOO . See that reason I can say this is because I'm talking from experience , that was me 2 years ago. I was in Toronto to see my friend Kezi spin at a club, when we got there she introduced me to a promoter by the name of Adnan, he came over to the booth where he passed me a bottle of vodka and said "cheers have fun tonight guys" . Before Kezi went on to dj she kept telling me that I need to give him a demo , so I walked over to Adnan and asked him "hey bro can I get your email addy so i can send you my demo" Adnan being the great guy he is said sure here's my card send it to me .
I was happier then a pig in shit , after we left the club Kezi asked me again did you talk to Adnan " ya i told him I'm gonna send him my demo by email" Kezi yells nooooooooo you didn't Angelo. That night I learned dj promotion 1o1 with Kezi, she began to talk about how you are a walking business and that you should always be prepared because you never know who you will meet .

That night I met Adnan Faroud one of Canada's biggest promoter's he runs The Century Room,This Is London ,Ultra lounge , The Drink .

Check him out at http://www.adnanmedia.com/


DJ PROMOTION 101

1.Always have some sort of business cards on you at all times (make your card stand out from everyone else's use colour and different texture paper).

2.Create a website, or blog site these are great places that promoters can see your serious about your djing

3.Social networking sites such as facebook, myspace can help alot as well make a group in facebook
and invite your friends to join it .Your Myspace paige should be very professional with live mixes or new
track you have made.(as an example here is my buddy Conrad Rogers Mypace http://www.myspace.com/jeremyconradrogers)


MEDIA KIT very very important this allows the promoters to grab information about you for there events .

What is in a Media kit?
-information about yourself (biography,discography)
-video footage from events
-live mixes
-productions and awards received
-Press package( interviews write ups that others have done on you)
-art work (including flyer's from past events) promoters want to see that you have been djing alot a gigs

Drew asked me if i was interested in throwing down a set and to be a resident for the night my response was pretty simple "fuck ya". So back to my point if your into dirty filthy i need to take a shower because my balls (sorry ladies "breasts")are sweating to much because i cant stop moving house music then look no more.

MSTRKRFT




LEGENDS OF DANCE









Yes the two gentlemen hiding behind the gold hockey masks are Jesse F. Keeler and Al P otherwise known as MSTRKRFT.These two individuals arrived on the dance scene in 2006 with there smash hit the looks.This record took the world by storm by changing the electronic music scene both the music and it's fans.I got to meet both Jesse and Al when I was at WEMF in 2007 in the VIP backstage area. I was blown away on how humble the both of these guys are i just got to have a fast smoke with them before they creeped up on stage but man it was awesome. Jesse and Al told me that they always loved electronic music ever since they we kids, to be honest there into anything that has a good bass line to it . If you listen to there mixes you notice that they mix everything from funk,rock ,disco and dance in there dj sets.






MSTRKRFT L.I.V.E






When you go to see MSTRKRFT live your not just seeing two guys dj you are watching two guys rip up a club . They both recently came to Hamilton and fucking destroyed ROKBAR in Hess village .My buddy TOMMY OUTLAW got to go for dinner with both of them and party after the show . They drop some big CHUNES at that show ,I recently saw there you tube video live from LOLLAPALOOZA, the dropped fucking Queen bohemian rhapsody amazing talk about fucking skill.Both AL and JESSE teamed up with John Legend to record Heart breaker which shows both there skills as artists. The one thing that fucking puts these guys on the map are there loyal fans , as we all know since JUSTICE arrived on the dance scene the genre of electronic music has spawned a new generation of fans that go off the fucking wall when they hear a crazy bass line or mash up, going to go see a dj today isn't like it was back in the day it's more like a rock concert which i think always should of been.






WHERE DO I FIND THERE MUSIC ?






You can find MSTRKRFT music on http://www.beatport.com/ or http://www.itunes.com/



check out there website as well and for any booking inquiries please contact AM ONLY.

**** ANDY WARHOL EAT YOUR HEART OUT****




GODS PERSONAL DESIGNER





What can i say , Aaron is a very talented and interesting guy from supping up his Mazda low riding truck (which was the sickest truck i have seen in a long time) to designing for one of the biggest sporting athletic companies lululemon (yes we all know how great lululemon pants make women's asses look).Aaron was always influenced in art ,fashion and music ever since i knew him.

I remember Aaron telling me about this water fall he constructed for his parents backyard that would run into there pool . I got the chance to check it out one day ,pretty cool stuff ,Aaron is a guy that's full of surprises ,he's always one step ahead of you thinking strategically like a game of chess trying to make his next move .Anyone that tells me being a designer is for PUSSY'S and that designers don't like to get there hands dirty (like the one guy on EXTREME HOME MAKE OVER ) WILL GET A PUNCH RIGHT BEHIND THERE ELBOW. I have worked with Aaron first hand when I used to do plumbing for his dads company , he has no fear of heights , works really fucking hard,,he's not afraid to get dirty or crack a joke but knows when to be professional at the same time .





Designer's do not get the credit that they deserve. There is a lot of stuff that they have to deal with and every day on there job they will have to over come challenges that can either make or brake there career.





Aaron just opened up his new design studio on James st downtown Hamilton were he lives and works out of and will be throwing a art crawl on FRIDAY DEC 11TH .
