Madonna is one of my biggest musical and cultural influences. This week’s long-awaited single release has turned my insides to jelly. ‘‘Medellín’ is flash and pop that perfectly captures today’s fast-moving and demanding audience. I LOVE it!

Chill Tuesday house vibes at the Whale & Ale in San Pedro on April 16, 2019.

Stop by for a taste of England, chat about the London scene, and listen to grand master DJ Big Dane as he plays for his local San Pedro crew.

Enjoy hand-selected Pinot and food pairings while listening to mellow Sunday beats from DJ Big Dane and a live performance from Sawyer's Angels. Perfect Sunday vibes to meet honorary San Pedro Mayor Candidate Ryan S. Blaney and chill with adoptable hounds from non-profit ‘Home for Every Living Pet.’

I’ll take any excuse for a trip to Brighton but this year delivered a reason I couldn’t ignore. A big birthday for my mother-in-law, plus a chance to reconnect with long-missed friends, and an opportunity to listen to the latest innovations from one of the hubs of the Brit music and LGBTQ scene. The perfect storm rolled into a fast and furious trip.

Listing the ‘Best Long Beach’ music venues is a tough ask – there are a whole lot of options. I’ve gotta put The Federal Underground, PCH Club and Harvelle’s right at the top but I also love a great dive like The Good Bar and The Prospector…

DJ Big Dane will be spinning Sunday afternoon classics from 2pm until late in Downtown Los Angeles. Invited by the distilling team at Greenbar to accompany the release of their newest gin creation. Expect crowds, tunes and cocktails!
