What a lucky break to have friends that consider you. Chrissy Murderbot hit me up with this great opportunity. Of course I had to make sure the fine folks at Pitchfork added “featuring MC ZULU” on all the stuff…

No problems there but my bio was never added to the page, so I was forced to wear one the infamous T-shirts with my name on it.. Many journalists have expressed their dismay about those shirts, but to no avail. Consider it my consolation prize for always being overlooked.

Anyway… It was a masive day, with Chicago fans showing up in full force.

Performing “Hyped Up” LIVE

Now really, I’m not one for “working kids into the act”. It makes me feel all Vaudeville-ish, but I also want them to know music does not separate us, so what the hell. I had (2/3 of) them there throwing those lip whistles out to the crowd. (Whistles were Murderbot’s idea.bigup)

Here’s my youngest son asking to get up on stage, and then getting all shy afterward. LOL

Youngest Kid Steps Up

I want to know who he learned his litle “Nasty Dance” from.. He’s 8.
Believe me there have been subsequent discussions.
Now that I think about it…, it’s probably inspiration from Murderbot’s nasty track playing in the background.

Appearing tonight with DJ Chrissy Murderbot @ SmartBar! On the bill with us are DJ Nephets and Lady Four Square.

Actually for the next month or so, I will be doing shows strictly in Chicago. During this time I will finish as much recording as possible, so check the “Music” tab for frequent updates.

It has also just been made official that Chrissy Murderbot will be playing the Pitchfork Music Festival. Thankfully he’s asked me to appear with him on the bill. Of course I wasted no time sending everyone involved very nice e-mails, asking that my name be included everywhere…. What do you think? Maybe I should relax a little?

Nah… fk that.
Anyway, tonight will be somewhat of a re acquaintance, as we have not worked LIVE together since 2009. Looking Forward!

I have seen this listed around the net as Quadratic’s Unofficial Remix. Let’s clear all that up right now. Everything Quadratic does is OFFICIAL BIZZNESS…!
