MUSIC: OPUS mixtape cover

Producers Fanum and Isle of Weight, collectively known as the OPUS, needed a cover for their new compilation "The Opus of the Opus vol. 2." I originally created the volume one cover a while back and used multiple instruments to spell out their name. This time I thought that it would be more cohesive to make one instrument and treat it like a graffiti piece.

MUSIC: ST!ZO x SONY VAIO EXPO 2011

I was asked to deejay an event at the W Hotel Lakeshore about a month ago. I really didn't know what to expect when I was asked to do it, but I took the gig anyway. I rented some speakers, cleared the schedule and downloaded some radio friendly selections to get ready for what turned out to be the Chicago SONY VAIO Expo 2011. This was a personal milestone for me! I spun for 12 hours straight without repeating one song! Usually I deejay clubs with about 3 hours of material..just in case, but this was like a marathon! Sony was introducing the VAIO Z series amongst other new Sony offerings. The Sony staff was very accommodating and the W hotel was very helpful with the load-in/load-out. At the end of the day, they sent me home with a swag bag and a some mortgage money. Good times!
