When my life is running around in circles; when work is insane, parties are firing up, family, friends… responsibility… blah, blah, blah… I just never get enough time to get these btb Beats posts up. Because the great beats keep coming and thanks to all these cool cats sending them our way, the music continues to be there to escort me through the nutty times.

I especially love it when we have the chance to debut artists on the site; when a random email becomes hours of head bopping and a burnt CD. The two diamonds we have going down here have provided much of the fun for the month and finally I’ve found a minute to share the goods.

Shlomi B was born in Jerusalem, Israel. He’s 28 years old and for the last five years has been living in Queens, New York. He’s not been playing in the big city much (got married +1) but every two months he returns home for his residency night at the Gotham Club in Jerusalem where`s he spun alongside the likes of the Flash Brothers, Rollo, Guy Gerber and Shlomi Aber.

It sounds like our interest in his choons might motivate him to get into the game in NYC and if he continues to put out cool promos like the one we have here, the Big Apple is in for a treat with Shlomi in the hood.

Often I slip back into my Happy Place on the Lokitas dance floor in Cordoba, Argentina in November 2006. Though the next night at Pacha in Buenos Aries was a massive party never to be forgotten, the Lokitas night possessed a magical vibe that embedded the feeling that remains at the core of my judgment on what a truly great party is supposed to be all about.

Opening for Luke at that event was Rodrigo Vacis. Buddy was locked into this deep, sexy down-tempo groove that allowed Luke to step up and take over exactly where he wanted to and had the 800 plus on the packed dance floor properly incubating the room. Total pro, incredibly wicked dude; I`m so pumped he`s still got it going on and that we have something to share with the crew.
