Advertisement of Sorts:Do You Want Your Music Promoted in Europe?
Do you want to promote your music in Europe?
As you may or may not know myself, DJ Chill and DJ Rapid Ric are going to be in Europe from September 20 - September 29th doing HoustonSoReal parties in Oslo, Norway, Trondheim, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Amsterdam, possibly Paris and definitely London.
These will be some straight up Dirty South parties like Europe has never seen. At these parties I plan to give away mixtapes, cd singles, vinyl to DJ's, t-shirts, posters and copies of Ozone Magazine to everyone we see. And on days off we will be hitting up retail in all the cities as well as doing some radio appearances.
I realize that everyone can't go with us on this trip, but if you start really promoting now, maybe I can book your European tour next.
So look, most of you, especially in Texas, know my rep. I am not bullshitting here. I will charge you a nominal fee, and take your product to Europe to hit off tastemakers and potential fans. I'll bring you back photos and feedback at the end of the trip so you can see what I did to promote your artist/product.
Your fee will help pay for our travel and taxes on the promo items we will have to pay in every country we go to.
Also, to set the whole theme off right at these HoustonSoReal parties, we will be decorating the clubs with promo posters from artists from out here in the south. You know how we do.
So shit, I already know half you fools pay street teams a lot of money to do that shit in your own back yard.
You can pay me a lil something and I'll get your career kick started in Europe.
Let me know what you think.
Email any inquiries to matt at damagecontrolradio dot org and I'll get right back at ya.
This is an opportunity for you that you really shouldn't miss out on. Holler. You know I put it down.

PhotosSoRealByTheDozen
I'm so far behind on the picture tip. Below though I'ma play major catch up here. First up is a set of photos from the Museum event I told you about a couple weeks back with Hydroponic Soundsystem, DJ Ayres and the Rhinestone Life. Peace to Kim and Cee Plus and the MFAH and Starbucks for turning out yet another great party. These museum events are the best thing to happen to Houston in eons. Anyway I drank way too much up in the VIP at this here thang thang so bear with me.
FIRST UP BIG PARTY THURSDAY NIGHT!
Proletariat fool. Don't miss out.
DJ Ayres on the escalator
Mr. Blakes just got a new job with ME Television. The 24 hour music station in Austin. Feel the funky real.
Chucky Sly - Hydroponic Soundsystem. Man they tore it down with Skin on the turntables and a nonstop cadre of Dallas' finest off and on the mic. Mr. Blakes, Chucky, Head Krack, Mes the Jive Turkey. Everybody got it poppin' man. But stupid me forgot my camera 4 blocks away in the trunk cuz we had eaten sushi beforehand and drank like fools with nothing but little itty bitty fish parts in our stomachs so I was gone off that delicate combo of Asashi and Sake and well, I got no live photos. Stupid.
Cuz like, I didn't want to miss their set and make an 8 block round trip for the camera.

So then a week or so passed and I had poison ivy and I flipped out on steroids and quit them damn steroids half way thru cuz I ain't fuckin' with that bullshit and then I got back on track and went to the Dub Car Show this past Sunday. Shit was pretty insane. Paul Wall, Chingy, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug & PJ with Rapid Ric, Mike Jones, and Jamie Kennedy all performed. I fuckin walked in and there's Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone in front of a bunch of kids at a car show in Houston. See below.
Besides the relentless cacophony that is the echo chamber that is the Reliant Center, shit was all good. But it's seriously like the loudest event you'll ever attend.
They did have the foresight to bring Mattress Mack out to get the crowd hype and on their side.
Shit was wild. The "Rollin' With Bob Saget" video is admittedly pretty funny. Not sure if the cats out here were too up on it yet...
