DIM MAK DOWN UNDER
October 28, 2009
G’Day Dim Mak’rs!
Over the past two weeks Team Dim Mak has been criss-crossing the Australian outback with multiple insane tour dates spreading the Dim Mak love and party hard attitude far and wide across Oz. Steve Aoki set the nation on fire with sold out tours stops, while yours truly (FEINBEEZY) has been on a cross continental rampage with Pase Rock, kicking off our first round of International Dim Mak parties which will without a doubt not be our last! BIG THANKS TO OUR MAIN MAN ON THE STREETS HERE JON DEBEERE for setting things up for a proper kick off to our in the flesh presence here in Australia, and many thanks to all the promoters along the way who rolled out the red carpet for the wandering nomads from the Dim Mak Los Angeles Offices.Champagne was sprayed, people got munted, and much revelry was had.
Already in the books are Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne and we still have a few more shows to go (in lookin and you Wollongong and Byron Bay), including a Halloween spectacular so we will keep you all posted along the way. More pictures to come……AWWWW YEAHHHHH!

THE FALL OF DIM MAK!
February 2, 2009
OK, HI PEOPLE. STEVE INVITED ME TO “BLOG”. SO LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SCREWED. HERE WE GO…
Hello. I’m Justin Pearson, age 33, a leo, and proud parent of Gee Gee Pearson-Edwards. I’m better known for such projects like, The Locust and Three One G records. Anyhow, Steve and I have some history and well, the planets aligned and brought my new band to the Dim Mak table… ALL LEATHER. A brief explanation of All Leather: As some of you may or may not know, being a musician in this day and age, well being a musician with dignity and integrity, leaves you somewhere below the poverty line, trying to pull off working odd jobs and hustling in order to play, rehearse, and tour. So I landed this night job, when not on tour, at a gay club in San Diego, where I live (I’m straight guys, sorry). I found myself night after night, hearing this electronic dog shit music over and over and over. Don’t get me wrong, I hear that the stuff I play, is “crap”, “noise”, etc. But I’m sort of speaking from an educated musical standpoint. Or at least a creative artistic perspective. What I’m referencing is run of the mill, cookie cutter, dance music. But over the course of the nights spent stopping people from jerking each other off, plunging toilets, getting hit on my leather daddies, and trying to figure out the gender of some of the patrons, I would hear a gem among the sea of musical turds. Please keep in mind, this is only my opinion and well, opinions are like assholes… everybody has one. I stumbled upon Ida Corr’s “Let Me Think About It”. Now take a track like that, or even some of Britney’s “hits” and you have something substantial. What I envisioned was music like “Let Me Think About It”, but with more abrasive elements and better vocals as well as more interesting lyrical content (the lyrics to that track are about as lame as you can get). I combined forces with two friends, Nathan Joyner and Jung Sing, and have an outcome that is influenced by whatever sort of musical genre or culture that I’m trying to explain here, and applied it to a background with actual musicians, able to pull off live shows not attached to someone rocking out (or not rocking out) in front of a laptop. Boring shit in my opinion. So i met with Steve, we shot the shit, and jumped in bed with each other, potentially bridging some sort of gap between musical this and musical that. All Leather has had foreplay with some musical outfits like Otto Von Schirach, MSTRKRFT, SQZMYLMS, and Hawnay Troof, falling in the remix world, while the band actually covering a version of “Let Me Think About It” with slightly altered lyrics and added balls. Now we are here to let you think about it. Good luck, you might need it. See you all soon when i have something “important” to blog about. Over and out.
