I got to invite some of the best dj's in the biz Francois K, Laurent Garnier, Dimitri from Paris, Carl Craig, DJ Pierre, Daft Punk, Afrika Bambattaa ,Roy Davis, Sneak, Mark Farina, Jumpin' Jack Frost and a lot lot more.

Anyway all of this to let you know that i am starting to encode the old tapes from the show.

UPDATE:

DATE CHANGE!!! last party for Neil Aline at APT has been postponed to OCTOBER 26th ALONGSIDE TONY HUMPHRIES

the Last Apt. Sunday night with Neil Aline It is with a bit of sadness that i am retiring from Sundays at Apt.
After 6 beautiful years, playing the best records to the best sunday crowd in the city;
I have decided it's time for me to take new directions. All the memories i have from the insane nights, to the best guest dj's and the friendliest staff will never be forgotten. I'm not saying adios to Apt, i will may be play there on a different night but i really thought it was time for me to do something different on Sundays. So make sure to stay tuned for a series of new parties in the near future.
Nevertheless, APT. will have their Sundays running as usual. Please go see tony humphries on the 26th. I wish APT the best!

But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: For all the friends and family that have been coming throughout the years:
Please come this SUNDAY for our Last dance together

it will mean the world to me!

Thank you and See you Sunday!
Neil Aline

A Different Way To Produce An Album

2008-03-05T17:57:00.003-05:00

Sunshine Jones formerly of Dubtribe, sent an email last week asking his fans to help produce his next album.
Interesting new approach for independent recording artists.
check it out:
if you send Sunshine a $10 donation, he'll send you a link to download the lp.

If you send him $10,000 you will get: "Everything I've mentioned above, plus a very special afternoon with me. Featuring a tour of my studio, a cup of my famous coffee, a first hand look at the progress of the project, and then you get to come and sing on my album.
Don't worry if you can't sing - we can always have you hum and clap along."

For a full rundown on his new project and how you can help co-produce his album go to:

Record Rama bidder turns out to be a fraud:

The $3 million winning bid for the Record Rama collection on eBay was a fraud, according to J. Paul Henderson, agent for the sale.

Mr. Henderson said he got a call from an eBay executive last night explaining that the “jopsoup” bid was not legitimate and the account has been suspended.

The Irish man with that screen name says he didn’t even know about the bid until after the fact.

“Jopsoup” told the eBay executive that he was a victim of identity theft.

“He claims he went to an Internet cafe and got the e-mail with the invoice from us and wondered ‘what the hell is this?’ ” Mr. Henderson said.

Mr. Henderson says he and owner Paul Mawhinney plan to re-list the collection and run the auction in a more “semi-private” fashion with screened bidders.

Sold!

3 million records for $3 million on EBay.

Record Rama collection fetches millions

Thursday, February 21, 2008

By Scott Mervis, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08052/859280-100.stm

The sale of the famed Record Rama collection today was "bittersweet" for Paul Mawhinney, who is parting with what he calls "The World's Largest Music Collection.''

The high bidder on eBay came in at $3,002,150 for a collection Mr. Mawhinney estimated as being worth $50 million.

"It was a little bittersweet," said Mr. Mawhinney's agent, J. Paul Henderson. "We didn't get as much as we wanted."

Mr. Mawhinney, the 68-year-old owner of the Ross-based Record Rama, had been trying to sell the collection for years.

Faced with health problems, particularly his failing vision, Mr. Mawhinney decided to retire, close the store and put the collection on eBay this month for a minimum of $3 million. That averages about a dollar apiece for the vault of approximately 3 million LPs, 45s, CDs, cassettes and 8-tracks, plus his own patented vinyl-cleaning system and ownership of six publishing companies and eight independent labels. It is believed to be the second biggest sale in the history of eBay, after the sale of a $4.9 million private jet.

Not much is known yet about "jopsoup," the screen name of the Irish-based buyer, other than that he has 33 positive ratings and one negative in his eBay history.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Henderson was unsure whether the bid was legitimate, but said, "We have a plan B. We've heard from someone legitimate who wants to buy it."

Praia de Pepe

2008-02-21T17:24:00.003-05:00

IF you ever go to Rio, of course go check Ipanema's beach around Posto 9 but get out of the city and go towards Barra de Tijuca. My fav. beach is after Barra may be 30 to 40 minutes outside Rio. it's called Praina. Beautiful surfers spot.

Anyway this time we had bad weather so the few days i went to the beach i ended up at Praia de Pepe.

So yes finally, i am posting some pics from my trip to Brazil for Carnaval 2008. Went to Rio for a full week with Benjamin Deffe (Funk La Planet) and stayed with my good friend/dj Jonas Rocha.
I was too lazy to take pics this time, and Benjamin just got a new camera so he was shooting left and right. The funniest picture of the trip was taken at Praia de Pepe right outside Rio . Those two girls decide to sit in front of us. And here is the view . No need for captions, they are tattooed on their backs. Take a look but do not....

London Holidays: No Subway but a Whole Foods around the corner

2007-12-25T10:57:00.001-05:00

After a good 12 hours stuck in Washington Dulles because of my flight getting cancelled (THANK YOU UNITED AIRLINES), i arrived in London at 11pm on December 24th for my family reunion. I guess just in time for the opening of a bottle of Champagne and the gifts getting unwrapped.
My mother's friends let us stay in their apartment in Kensington for the week. Bruno who lives here until the Spring is the director of photography on the new Harry Potter movie shooting outside London. Pretty cool uh!?
Today the 25th, we went out in the London rain hoping to get some tourist action but no, no no. No subway or bus service. Actually just like last night from the airport. I had to take a cheap $120 ride in a black cab to the apartment. Anyway so today not much to do except going around the hood, walking around and catching up on DVD's. Since Bruno was nominated for an Oscar for his work on Amelie Poulain, he gets all the dvd screeners, meaning he has all the good stuff still showing in the theaters and nominated for the golden globes.
Kensington's Palace gate - The street where we're staying.
Across the Street from our apartment: HYDE PARK
There is a Whole Foods in Kensington!

White Party / Twilo Reunion

2007-12-22T11:17:00.000-05:00

Last Saturday (Dec.15th 2007), after my set at Riv 105. I was nicely invited to an apartment party out in Brooklyn. My good friend Hector Cruz drove us there in the middle of a snow storm. We got there around 5am . And yes everybody was wearing white, the sound system was tight, the music reminiscent of the good Twilo days , the DJ booth was one of the best booth i played (all decked out with BOZAK gear) and the lighting system was amazing(twilo look alike disco ball + lighted disco dance floor). Dean and Dave the party organizers had put together one of the best party i went to in years. Only 40 to 50 people.
I actually ended up playing a deep set (i wished i had my twilo classics with me) , i left around 10am and the place was of course still going. Great people, Great party. Hopefully next year when Dave and Dean throw their annual white party, i'll get invited again ;)
