DJ Meph (dot) Net

At first I was skeptical about this. A few months ago a mixtape was released on Soundcloud that was supposed to be a live recording of Derrick May from 1988. I posted it on Twitter, and Derrick May replied back to me to let me know that it wasn’t him, and that it was some [...]

As the editor of a blog about music, I get a lot of emails from PR companies promoting their clients. Typically, they send me shitty music, cheesy trailers and useless information about artists I don’t care about. For me to open the emails at all is a chore in-and-of itself. Every once in a while [...]

Comcast Cares, please bookmark this post. Read it every day and remember it every time you talk to a customer and pretend to care. This redditor posted a tongue-in-cheek complaint to his ISP on a message board that his router was attracting his cat, and it was causing his wireless internet to go down frequently. [...]

I do not lament in the death of anyone. It is a natural part of life that will eventually happen to me, and I know I wouldn’t want anyone to dig through my past when I’m dead and be remembered for all the bad things I’ve done during my short period of cognition. That being [...]

During a recent journey to the UK, I had the privilege of visiting Manchester, and I was amazed by all of the wonderful street art throughout the city. What a beautiful place!

Barcelona has turned into a war zone today, as University students violently protest against education cuts due to austerity measures. A fellow blogger friend of mine is caught in the middle of it, as she was attending the Mobile World Conference that was shut down amid protests. Please stay safe, Sylvie! A friend of a [...]

I found this on Reddit today, posted by a good friend of mine. It is a graphical history of the Detroit Tiger’s logo. Here is a fun fact about the “D”: Many want to call it the “Olde English D” but if you say that to an Englishman, they will be quite offended. The Detroit [...]

Today I voted in the Republican Primary. For those of you who don’t know my background, let me explain why this is significant. I am still technically registered as a Republican, and twice I held a position as my precinct’s delegate to the Oakland County Republican Convention in Michigan. I became active in the Republican [...]

Seems like a magician should be forced to break the sacred oath for the sake of science, given that this is a TED talk. Still, this is quite amazing.

I’m not sure why dubstep has taken on such a mainstream interest, but if the proliferation of experimentation continues in this fashion, I’m all for it.

On Friday the 13th 2012, I’ll be making my DJing debut in Grand Rapids at the appropriately-named Pyramid Scheme night club. Genettic and Oddy will also be joining me this night in what critics are calling the best dance party of 2012 so far. Doors open at 9pm, 18+ are welcome and the cover is [...]

It’s my birthday again, and while not as monumental as my big 3-0, it’s not going to keep me from giving you a great show and stuffing your mouth with cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster on Sunday, December 4th at The Old Miami. I chose to bring back Tunde Olaniran this year, who has [...]

In the second video of this series, I talk straight about my experiences as a producer that uses the PC Windows platform exclusively. I give an honest comparison of the HP Envy 14 to the MacBook Pro, and share my reasoning for staying with PCs.

In my last post, I talked a little bit about the new sponsorship opportunities that I have come into recently. I’m very excited to be working with HP and Icrontic on a new project, where I received an HP Envy 14 with Beats Audio for DJing and producing. In exchange I will be creating an [...]

I haven’t written here in quite a while. Even longer if you consider how long it’s been since I wrote something other than a Mixtape Mondays post. So this is the mid-term state of my union, for all of those who are curious to know what’s going on in the world of DJ Meph. First [...]

Ferris J Haddad is a techno/house DJ from Detroit. This Mix was just posted up today, and I thought it was dope, so I decided to use it for Mixtape Mondays. I have plenty of good Mixtapes to use for future posts, but I’m really lacking on good hip hop mixes. Get at me if [...]

See those happy party kids in that photo? This is a group photo of the CORADOR United crew, where I got my start at DJing, and really, where I got my start on life. I learned much more from this group of people than I’ll ever forget about music and life, and they had a [...]

Even though I am currently in Detroit, enjoying the music festival, I couldn’t leave home without making sure you all get your Mixtape Mondays fix. Here is a Carl Craig set I found on SoundCloud. Carl Craig has a rich, but controversial history with the electronic music festival in Detroit, but now is working with [...]
