ICONtact: Back from Europe & 3 Gigs this weekend!
Written by djicon Thursday, 17 June 2010 23:29
YAY! I am back in your inbox and more importantly, back from Europe. I haven't made ICONtact in a very long while because I've been away and super busy with gigs, work, fun, drama which all falls into the all-encompassing umbrella of LIFE. As you may know, I was just in Europe for three weeks playing shows, playing on pirate radio, catching up with friends, having fun, hanging out with sheep in the countryside, getting more stamps in my passport and watching England play USA in the World Cup in a country that's obsessed with football. And now for a quick gig review: Good times playing at Fabric with Ali B, Meat Katie and Dylan Rhymes; fun 80's pop, freestyle, hip-hop and rock set at Ali B's funk night at Paradise; wicked tag-team Breaks, Electro, House, Dubstep & Drum & Bass set with my boy Deekline on FlexFM pirate radio, top time in Ulm, Germany having my first Ger-merican BBQ & playing at Cut & Run with some of my new fave promoters Bastian, Rolf and Berndt. Laughs all night!; lastly amazing way to end the tour in Ravensburg, Germany playing at STAMINA for top guy, Marten Hoerger (Boogie Army). It was a beautiful summer day, perfect for boat ride at Lake Constance with Rosé wine, fresh strawberries & ice cream! Yes, fun times indeed.
It's good to be home! It seems as Summer is defninitely in the building! I have loads of super fun upcoming parties and festivals to rock. I just flew in on Sunday (and boy are my arms tired) on a gorgeous day in San Francisco and went straight to Mission Rock to play the 2nd Sunday Season Opener, which was rammed; it felt like the wooden deck was going to collapse into the bay with so many people bouncing on it! Then starting tonight I have a 3-day marathon of quality gigs in San Francisco. TONIGHT I am playing with DEEKLINE at Triple Crown for Sunset Promotions, Friday I play with ICEY at Ruby Skye, then Saturday I play at the 2010 Mega Pre-Compression for Burning Man. FIRE it up! All info on parties are below...
Lastly, I would like to announce the winner of my very first ICONtest on Facebook. Lots of people entered really fun photos of their favorite party moment for a chance to win a pair of Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones and a DJ ICON custom t-shirt designed by Sam Flores. Congratulations to the winner, Cameron Brooks aka Tinman PDX, peep the photo!
Hope to see your smiling face on the dancefloor! xxx
Yours Truly,
ICONnie
