Christmas Eve with Nero at Shangri-LA Hotel

So as I sit on this train in the first half of my journey to SnowGlobe, I have taken this opportunity to reflect a bit deeper on how cool my Christmas Eve really was. 

I was invited by my homie, Tarik, to his lil bros 21st birthday party on the top floor of the Shangri-LA hotel in Santa Monica. Nonchalantly, while we're spinnin late night within the first few hours of bein back in the backyard, he goes to me "Ya, dude, so you should totally cruise to Seraj (his bro) 's birthday. We can spin a set, and then Nero's gonna come n close out the night." "Uhhh, yeeeaah!" I reply; and, there you have it, my Christmas Eve 2011.

Alright, enough backstory. So, of course, there was a slight panic when Joe (1 of 2 members in Nero) did not arrive on time. "He's not coming" yada yada, but then Nero is in the house, and on the decks in no time. Thumbdrives meet Pioneer 2000's, and boom, the ride begins. 

He kicks it off with some nice n funky house and electro; some off of their new album "Welcome Reality". Got the people movin, then, after waitin a lil while, he fades in the intro of "Bass Cannon" by Flux Pavilion. He finally gave us exactly what we came for, some heavy dubstep! Although, the sound was only bein pumped through one JBL speaker with maaybe 300w haha - but, it was a great show nonetheless.

Sickest part...

Joe from Nero & Rusko -  Taken @ Shangri-LA by yours truly ; )

Yep, Rusko decided to attend the lil soiree. Jus chillin n rappin with Joe super casually. It was hilarious. Enjoyin the party just like we all were, except all eyes were on them. Rusko didn't even jump on the decks, sure he reached over and added a thing here n there, but was mostly just kickin back.

I had alotta trouble finding a track off Nero's Soundcloud that I wanted to post, especially since I know how much we ALL just love free downloads, BUT, I did find a gross remix of Nero's "Crush on You" by Matta, so check that below.

Also, you will find a video that I took from the party.

They just played at Ruby Skye in SF on Thursday, I'm sure it was outta control. Prolly like the vid below, but way crazier haha

                   

Ok, I'm off. Enjoy friends! Got lots on new footage from SnowGlobe. One more night to go! Thanks 2011, it's been good. Farewell, and welcome 2012! 

Be safe tonight, and Have a HappyAss New Years!
