Busy Week Ahead for the staff here at HoustonSoReal - Rapid Ric in NYC, Diplo in Houston

MAN! It's about to go down. It's Friday about noon time here in the H and I am eagerly anticipating getting on that plane tomorrow (then cab, then bus, then train) to New York City. Gonna catch Dizzee perform at Irving Plaza (if you see me in the crowd, holler, I look like a Texas boy, clothes all big and shit), then chill with some folks on Sunday, then have major power move meetings on Monday, then go party with that girl Oxycottontail and all you good folks in NYC (Details below) on Monday night. Rapid Ric is going to be spinning with CatchDubs and and Peter Hahn, and it's Oxy's birthday, so you know we're gonna get it going. Expect some slowed down sounds, and some hyper crunkness direct from the dirty. Here's the flyer:



So yo if you are in NYC this weekend, and especially on Monday, you gotta holler and me and Ric and come kick it with us at Sway.

THEN right after we get back to Houston we're going to host the return of DIPLO! That's right, Thursday April 28th at Mango's (403 Westheimer, 713-522-8903) you can catch Diplo spinning live with DJ Chill, Rapid Ric and Bavu Blakes. $2 Red Stripes all night and discounted cover before 10 p.m. Come ready to party. Here's the flyer, hard to read at this size but you get the idea.



Party starts promptly at 9 p.m. with Rapid Ric and runs non stop until 2 a.m. That's how it's gotta be in Houston. Could this be the return of the dynamic duo?


DJ Chill rocks the mic as Diplo rocks the rock crowd in Austin

Anyway, it's gonna be a wild week next week. If all comes together properly, Diplo will be spinning live on Damage Control the night before. That's my radio show. Aksomebodyboutit.

Or listen to THIS. This is an interview I did with Lil Keke a few weeks ago, that was referenced in the New York Times piece. Thanks to Ruben from The Urban Assault for hooking me up. I messed up the recording.

And I might even bring DJ Eva to this extravaganza.


Eva is a passive resister, she wouldn't let Chingo leave...
