Last Saturday, the crew from The Do Over - the most legendary of legendary parties in my book - got on a boat and headed out to Waiheke Island, not far from Auckland, New Zealand, to stage one of their top grade throw downs. Being that Auckland is my new home, I decided it would be rude not to down daddy duties for the day (shout out to my lovely, understanding wifey!) and get in some island time. For those who are unfamiliar with The Do Over, it goes a little something [...]
This past weekend, the first hot day in San Francisco coincided with the first time the Do Over crew brought the party from LA the bay. A lucky chance? I think not. It...
Ah, Mayer Hawthorne . The man makes musical equivalent to a nice afternoon stroll in the park, or a ride down the coast of your preference with the soft-top down and the sun beaming off the Cadillac crown on your hood. Somehow, no matter the topic he chooses - upbeat or in despair - the driving melody omitted from his tracks typically induce a smile. On "The Walk," which is the second single of How Do You Do , the positive vibes begin as soon as the needle drops and the blame begins. Even though [...]
Since 2008, Los Angeles has hosted the only recurring Sunday party that let's you redo the night before. The Do Over has become a sabbath staple for Southern Californians every summer. It may...
While the Gaslamp Killer continues on his European takeover this summer, he had some time this week to stop off at Red Light Radio in Amsterdam for an hour long mix session with DJ Cinnaman. The hour-long session, available to stream below, highlights some of Gaslamp's current obsessions and serves as somewhat of a postcard to us in LA who've become accustomed to seeing the incredibly talented DJ wreck our summer BBQs over the years with his diverse selections and amazing mixing skills. As expected, the tracklist is pretty unpredictable and runs the gamut from old school soul to The [...]
Legendary party The Do Over in L.A received a visit from equally legendary NYC producer and dj Jacques Renault . A warm, gently flowing house/disco set which just rolls into your body with one sole mission in mind, to make you dance. This is how it's done.

Photo by Kalima Abdur-Rahman WOW! What a totally bodacious way to start off 2011! The internationally known and locally renowned "Do-Over," a weekly Sunday afternoon special guest DJ bonanza, was suddenly brought to a halt at the end of 2010. Apparently, the owner of the previous Do-Over residence (The Tavern) packed up and moved to Costa Rica. Luckily for us, that unfortunate event led to the Do-Over scoring a sweet ass new residence at Jane's House, a 100 year old house on Hollywood Blvd. that's been converted into a bar for all of [...]
I've lately been obsessed with this vocal sample. Everyone knows it from this one J-Lo-tune and i heard it in any remixversion in any club some weeks ago. So i did some diggin' and here's the outcome: 3 supernice tracks by "Dances With White Girls", "Kenny Dope" and "DJ Eli Escobar". Love everyone of them! Btw, this is the Original. Everyones Got To Make A Living - Dances With White Girls Making a Living - Kenny Dope Heavenly Break - DJ Eli [...]
If you don't know about the Do-Over then you better recognise, it was voted one of the top parties 5 parties in the US last year. It's a Sunday afternoon party in the heart of LA with booze and a backyard BBQ hosted by promoters Haycock, Strong and Blacc plus special mystery DJs each week. They describe the party's influences as smiling faces, bottles of Sangria, buckets of beer, and too many mojitos too remember. Sounds spot on to me. It has hosted talent such as Gaslamp Killer, Mayer Hawthorne, Madlib, Flying Lotus and the late and great [...]
Every lost angel's favorite hipster hangout meets every DJ's favorite DJ. The weekly anticipation of The Do-Over comes from the "who the hell is DJing this week?" because they keep that info under lock-and-key until the final moment when they call out Rhettmatic or Madlib or A-Trak. Or, in this case, Jazzy Jeff . The only thing better than hearing these greats spin records every week, is watching the man we dubbed the Forever Dancer dance forever to whatever tunes hit the concrete in front of the booth. I imagine Forever [...]
Eli Escobar went to LA to play the Do-Over party for their 4th of July bash and we get this recording of his truly spectacular set.

The line is long as f#ck. Unless you have women with you. If you have women with you, it's pretty much a done deal. Right to the front of the line with you and two of your loveliest ladies. The girls walk on either side of you, one on each arm. Walk up to the front of the line where Dom-the-Dime greats you with a smile and a nod. Walk on through the purple-flowered pergola and you hear from a dude in the line left in your wake say "So that's what it takes. I see how it [...]
Avec l'hiver québecois qui frappe l'Europe dernièrement, une petite découverte musicale qui réchauffe le coeur était de mise. Concept intéressant que ce " The Do-Over ", un picnik LA-style qui lance une série limité avec des tracks exclusives de leurs différents invités. Pour le volume 1, rien de moins que Flying Lotus pour accompagner un nouveau, House Shoes, avec cette track dont je ne me tanne tout simplement pas. Bien hâte de voir la suite… House Shoes – The Makings ( mp3 ) [...]
