Scratch Lab Live feat. DJ Big Jacks

posted by Big Jacks on May 10, 2012 in Mixes, Press

This past week the homie DJ Craig Brooklyn, invited me down to his show at the Scratch Lab Institute to rock live on their Ustream channel. I had the opportunity to play whatever I wanted and decided to bring it on that good ole boogie, funk, and soul vibe. There’s a lot of under the radar heat in the set and some of my personal fav selections. If you love that stuff like I do then you’ll enjoy this! The show is 2 hours long, my set starts around the 31:59 mark and runs for about an hour (don’t mind the quick commercials that happen periodically). Go check it out!

Shouts to DJ Manifest who invited me to play on Toronto Morning Live (mondays 7am-10am CHRY 105.5 fm) last week as part of their “May Is The Month of the DJ Campaign”.

Manifest also took the time to interview me and discuss what I’ve been up to and give some background on what I’m all about. You might learn a little something bout me, so definitely check it out…

big jacks says “stop handcuffin’ in the club”

My man Big Jacks might be nice on the turntables, but he’s also nice with the relationship advice…possibly. Letstalkaboutsexes.com sat down with the man himself to find out what he thinks about clubbing and relationships. He basically said in his nice guy way “That’s cool if you do it, but i’m not trying to have my girl up on me while i’m doing my thug thizzle…like bitch go find your friends!”…

…Actually he didn’t say that. Maybe that’s what I would have said. But peep the video to find out what he did say!

For those that don’t know, I’ve been doing things with my peeps Alex Dimez and the Just Entertainment fam for a minute. I got invited to the video shoot one cold winter morning and being a fan of the record, I had to come through just to show love. Somehow I found myself getting an acting role. So here it is now. Check me out gripping a bottle of Jagermeister and stumbling around to rap music!
