HOT SAUCE 2.0 mini mix



To comemorate the launch of the new home of our music blog: HotSauce, we threw down a party last Friday. It was pretty packed tight that night. Thank you to all those who made it, despite the cold dense foggy weather that night! Passing by Trinity Bellwoods park, it looked like some serious ghost action going down. Blurred lights and shadows. (Spooky!) Check out some of the photos here on FB. Big thank yous go out to Ted P for our new site, and A-Lo for the awesome visuals!

My mini mix is a pretty tightly packed 28 minute mix, as we gave out CDs with all three of our mixes (missruckus', urbansteve's and mine) on it. I've kept it pretty lean, but made it as fun as possible at the same time. Let me know what you think! Enjoy.

Limited Edition Hot Sauce Posters & CD Giveaway!

So some of you may know, that I will be throwing a party with my Hot Sauce crew (We're not hardcore connoisseurs of the sauce). For about a year and a half or so, we've been running a music blog about our favourites in the electronic music scene. Obviously we all do it just out of the love for the music and want to share it with you.

We are finally set to launch a 'Hotsauce 2.0' version of the blog. It will feature much more content than before: artist interviews, reviews, videos, our DJ mixes, and exclusive guest DJ mixes. To commemorate this, please join us as we throw down HOT SAUCE 2.0 LAUNCH PARTY at Tequia Bookworm Friday November 12, 2010! Come early for free giveaways!

NEW: Hot Sauce #3 mix!

I know it's been a long time for this next installment. There's just so much great music out at the moment, it was very difficult to narrow down for mix #3. So whatever didn't make it for this one, will definitely be on #4. I've also got some dark weird stuff set aside (cuz I have weird taste), so...maybe I'll wait till I get all the fun stuff out of the way. In the future, I was thinking maybe leaning towards more themed mixes: an 'all house', 'boogie' mix or 'rock mix' for example. Anyhow, this time around in classic Hot Sauce fashion, I've managed to get in a bit of everything: some boogie, a bit of house, some funky, and a whole lotta dubstep. The latter of which isn't being played enough in Toronto. Let me know what you think! Tracklisting coming soon (just Shazam it! j/k). Enjoy.

New Logo for Hamilton Yoga Studio.

This is a logo I created months ago, for a Bikram yoga studio opening up in Hamilton in October. If you're in the area please check it out!

BIKRAM YOGA HAMILTON DUNDAS - Opening Saturday October 2nd 2010!

The very first certified Bikram Yoga studio in all of Hamilton is about to open its doors to the public! Bikram Yoga, also known as The Original Hot Yoga, is a 90 minute Hatha Yoga routine, consisting of 26 postures, and 2 breathing exercises, performed in a room heated to 105 degrees with 40% humidity. It was created by the world famous yogi, Bikram Choudhury in Calcutta India over 40 years ago. Students of Bikram Yoga include: Demi Moore, Jessica Simpson, Price Harry, and Lady Gaga.

The heat is helps to promote perspiration and to warm the muscles, allowing for a deeper stretch, a thorough detox, and a fantastic workout!

Benefits of Bikram Yoga include:
-detoxification
-enhanced cardio workout, which in turn promotes weight loss (you can burn up to 1000 calories per class!)
-improved immune sytem functioning
-and relaxation, to name just a few.

Location:
1 East Street North, Dundas, Ontario.

Opening weekend schedule (October 2 & 3):
10am, 12pm and 4pm.

Visit their website for more details!

Site Update! New Twitter & FB Like buttons, etc.

Just a few changes around the site:

1. For all your Shingo Shimizu updates and to connect on Facebook, join the Shingo Shimizu Facebook page!

 

2. Just added new Twitter & Facebook 'Like' buttons on the bottoms of each post as well. So keep pressing those buttons please!

3. The NEW music page is setup as a seperate journal from my blog. It's just easier this way. Also thinking of a final stab at a straight up analog vinyl mix before I give into Serato fully. So look out for that!

I'm also working on a few animated buttons. We'll see how that goes. Of course I'll have a tonne of updates with new stuff going on. Until then, have a great weekend!

Graphics for Three Thirds Bags

Three Thirds Bags approached me to design a few graphics for their laptop sleeve cases for them a while ago. You may not have heard of them yet. They're a bit under the radar at the moment. But I'm sure they'll blow up soon, as their laptop bags are amazing. My Gravis bag is looking pretty lame...it's definitely time I get a new bag. Anyhow take a look at their products here!

The first design I did has a random font look, and the second one was inspired by pinball graphics. Both are featured in their promo video (below). Check it out!
