Faster Dubstep

The good homies DJ CASS and Toro 43 put together this awesome drumstep mix... if ya dont know, drumstep is like half time drum and bass, or well, sped up dubstep...

Cass and Toro 43 (aka DJ dumz aka Danny Mesas) have been putting it down for as far as I remember, true pioneers, from house, to drum and bass, to dubstep and everything in between, these guys know about electronic music.


Enjoy this little mix they did, hard and filthy, to keep all ya hippies, gypsters, and hipsters shaking your dreadlocks... keep an eye out for the Bless the Sinner crew, as these guys always stay fresh....

Smoke And Mirrors

SO I pretty much just came to the realization, that I'm creating my own universe, I mean we all are (those who are aware) but I have been dreaming/scheming for some time now, in my head, in sketchbooks, and random napkin notes, doodles etc. On just exactly what I want in my life and what my dreams are, and how to accomplish those dreams..... Corny as it sounds, they say anything is possible if you can dream it, or "my momma always told me I could be whatever I want".
ITS TOTALLY TRUE... We live in the fucking matrix, its up to you to unplug and start living like Neo.

Within the last few weeks, I have seen many of my dreams manifest and start to take form. I now have my own dot com: http://www.thedirtycash.com, which will soon feature my music, bio, video, and dj mixes. I have been working with the good homie Bobby Digital/ Stunt 101 Media Group
on my website, and business cards.. Both are looking great, and might just blow your mind. Im finally, FINALLY making music.. On top of that I have set out to conquer Hollywood, and then the world. Well "conquer" might be a strong word.

LA is a trip to say the least. Hollywood is smaller than you think and celebs and "A listers" are a strange phenomenon. (Fatlip is one cool dude tho, he dug my business card, and maybe I can get him on a dirt track?) Im not gonna talk shit the scene in LA, or try to bad mouth people to make a name for the dirt, but hollywood really aint all that its cracked up to be. I was looking at old blog entries here, and its funny because I used to blog about the the life I'm finally living. Metaphorically speaking, I wrote the dirty cash saga in my head long ago, and I have always knows that I wanted to make music. Then after I had realized I was bored with the all that Santa Barbara had to offer, I kinda said to myself," I'm gonna chase this mother fucking, metal band/electro/dubstep/screamo/dj/singer dream until it happens" My friend Inti once told me, years ago, "DO YOU" and thats the motto I have followed since 12 or 13.... originate, never imitate.


Look out world...... This native alien is set on keeping my name on your mind, and my songs stuck in ur head.

OH.... i totally need to thank every friend, or extended family who has said, "you can make that shit" or "do you" or "I like ur steez". I should even thank a few of the people who have told me " You cant" or "give up"........I have built up quite the network of amazing people in my life, and weened out a lot of the haters, psychic vampires and negativity. but in many ways, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you.

Worship The Moon, Stars And Earth

Funny how I have been having this same conversation for months now, about the"rave scene" in LA. This weekend I went to party thrown by one of the oldest, still running party crews in LA: Moontribe and I have to say, even with near freezing temps, rain, sleet and wind, people still gathered to celebrate mother earth, good music, and unity through music.

Growing up in Santa Barbara California, I was exposed to a bunch of counter culture lifestyles. My high school Dos Pueblos, was referred to as the "hippy high" and although many teens try pot, or smoke it occasionally, we had some real stoners at our school, I happened to be one of them, and I also happened to be one of the few "raver" kids at my school. Those days you there were only a handful of kids who identified with the counterculture (skaters, taggers, gangsters, goths, punks) and while the rest of the kids also smoked weed, we were the ones who tried to look beyond the beaches and palm trees, and surfing and high school parties at rich kids houses.

Back then you actually had to research your music/lifestyle through magazines, shows, record stores, word of mouth, and flyers. The internet was still in its infantile stages, and if you wanted to get involved in any scene, you had to actually leave your house.

I got into tagging, skating, hip hop and breakdancing really early, and for me, I guess I was always interested in the breaks and synths in early hip hop. Then in about 96-97 I was introduced to techno,gabber house, and jungle. That pretty much changed my life.

From then on, I was that "raver kid" candy gear, binky and all. Kickwear jeans, GAT, JNCO, if you know those days, you KNOW what im talking about... Plur was a concept older ravers taught younger ravers, people in the scene looked after each other, and the earth. If you and 100 of your friends went to the local mountains with turntables, a generator and records (remember those?) everyone would stay to help clean up, and there were no fights or overdoses. If someone was passing out, or having a bad trip, or too fucked up, it was on you to help out. The idea of everyone working together and helping out, was an idea I have always grown up with. Communal living was imprinted in my dna, I come from hippy stock.

Flash forward 13 or 14 years to present days. The word RAVE has become a bad and ugly word to many. I pretty much swore of massives and large LA raves, after seeing an altercation at Together As One 2001, that lead to a kid getting stabbed over an E pill (he lived). I have always remained a fan of the music, and still went to clubs like RESPECT and other venues hosting djs that I had to see, but I had never really wanted to go to another "massive"

Then in 2008 I had the chance to check out Lightning in a Bottle, in the Santa Barbara hills. I have to say, kinda changed my life again. Plur didnt die, it just grew up, and decided to return to mother nature. Thats where these renagade "tribes" come in, like locally: the do lab, and moontribe, alma, green sector, terrachroma etc. People are still getting together to dance outdoors, share stories, food, and some greens. This summer I had the opportunity to go to LIB, Raindance in Santa Cruz (big ups) Electric Daisy Carnival (never again), and then Burning Man. It was amazing to see where electronic music has gone, and how much love is still in the scene. It was also pretty sad to see, (@ EDC) a kid passing out, eyes rolling back in his head, falling over into a muddy puddle, and nobody helping out. Other kids just looked on and exclaimed "dudeeesss fuckedd up" and kept on walking. Obviously nobody taught these kids about helping your brother up, giving him some water, and finding his friends.

Call me a hippy if you like, but I still fucking hate patulli. I got back to my hippy roots and played around on ancient boulders, with good bass and great people. Sometimes its the simple things that make you give thanks for being alive.

Now on to some pictures:

Broadcasting Live From Outer Space

SO..... Im back, well, the blog is back. I know i said this before, but this time I mean it! I finally have a working computer, and internet, so its time to start yappin again I live in a new city (still LA) well some would debate that, but these days you can catch me roaming the streets of north Hollywood CA.... and Im making music, I finally got myself a website, and I'm working on original tunes as well as a mixtape. Im also painting and making wheatpaste(s).

I have had quite the adventurous 7 month stay in the city of angels. You can learn a lot from getting out of your comfort zone, and I thank each and everyone in my life that have contributed to me getting to where I am today. From shady roommates, to drug addicted roommates, to shady drug addicted roommates, to shitty bosses, great teachers, ex girlfriends, everyone has played a little part in getting me here. I wouldn't take back any of the crazy shit I have seen, been through or done in the past 28 years, let alone the last seven months. Big shouts to all the real family (my friends are my family) who stood by and kept saying I could. haha (Mom, this is our year)

LA has a way of breaking people who aren't ready, or focused enough what that dream is. Im sure plenty of people dont make it here... actually I hear stories all the time about bands, actors, models, whatever, not making it here and resorting to living a world of shit, via drugs and alcohol, prostitution, homelessness. I'm not gonna name names, or shit on everyone directly, but they dont call LA the snake pit, for no reason, its cut thoat out there. Also Losers dont need any free publicity, so Im glad I have moved on, and with every door that closes, 3 more seem to always open up. Oh and karma is a bitch I hear.

Burning Man was a trip, in every definition of the word. I will go into that story when I have some time, but basically, its everything you read about and more. I plan on going again this year, this picture sums up some of my best playa memories:


Last year a tent and my pickup truck just were not enough for the harsh conditions, so this year I plan on building a hexayurt


Hopefully I can even be cool enough to build my yurt before Lightning In a Bottle because I already have my ticket for that. I went in 2008 in Santa Barbara (and last year in the OC) and I must say that its my favorite party. I really think you all should go.

More ramblings from your boy dirt later on but in the mean time, brush your teeth, and call your moms.

Gone For A Minute Now Im Back Again
