TWENTY-FIFTEEN
Happy five days into the new year ! Some of you are taking your first steps in achieving your new year resolutions , some of you are finishing up your holidays and going back to school/work , and some of you are finally starting to sober up ! Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood .
I love working on NYE . it's an amazing night to perform because everyone that goes out that night made a conscious decision to make this night an epic night . We've all signed a invisible contract that states that we will leave the party poopin half of ourselves home and go out only with the part of us that loves fun things , hates standing idly against the wall , and enjoys the gathering and merriment of their fellow man and woman . Its a lot like going out in Vegas without all the "what happens in Vegas" business (sometimes) .
This past NYE I enjoyed the passing of the year in Meydan, Dubai on stage with SkyBlu and the rest of the Big Bad family . The show ran great with Sky dropping his new single "We Love Girls" and some other unreleased tracks which the crowd loved . It was awesome watching Pharrell perform and to bring in the New Year doing the count down during his set . The best part of the night has to go to our DJ BMad closing the night spinning around 3 am and all of us running around on stage and shutting the place down with the committed few thousand people to make this night last as long as we can .
I lost my phone for a period of 4 hours during the old year / new year transition so I had to borrow photos from other people to show you guys my trip
Standing on the highest riser used in Pharrell's set and showing up the vast empty space that will be filled with VIP . VVIP , and VVVIP guests for the night . Dubai doesn't have general admission

One of Pharrell's BAE and my homie , Aye Hasegawa , it was awesome to be able to share the stage with her at this show
I wish this was my view of Dubai's epic fireworks show . But the concert was much too far from the center of the City , so I saw it on youtube , like the rest of the world
Yes this is a snowboarding/skiing room in the Eremites Mall . Interestingly enough , this is the 2nd biggest mall in the world . First being Dubai Mall , down the street .
