LEAVING FOR FRANCE/GET MY SHEEN ON (FREE TRACK)/ITYG?

MORNING EVERYONE!!!!

I’m pleased as punch, just excited as a mug because in 12 hours me and Vivian are going to be on a plane on our way to Paris!  This is going to be my first gig overseas, and I can’t think of a better place…  Never been to Social Club but always heard nothing but great things…So if you find yourself in Paris this Friday night come on down!

We’re going to stay through the weekend and then on Monday night I will be performing an acoustic set on The Laura Leishman Project on Le Mouv radio, which is also extremely exciting because I’ve never DONE an acoustic set anywhere, let alone on the radio (it’s not something The Rapture was ever asked to do) so tune in, or if you cannot tune in I’m sure I’ll find a way to post the audio up here when I get back.

GET MY SHEEN ON

For those who missed it yesterday, I put up a new free track yesterday on the Mad Decent Blog.  The track is called Get My Sheen On, and it is, predictably, about getting one’s Charlie Sheen on… Originally I wrote it to submit it for Three 6 Mafia but when they didn’t pick it up I decided “f*ck it, I’ll just do it myself.”  The track was done by DJ Saucy P, the mastermind behind DJ Frosty’s “Ride That Wave” and many more.  There’s also a remix version featuring everyone’s favorite rowdies, Ninjasonik.  You can go check it out here http://maddecent.com/blog/mattie-safer-get-my-sheen-on or you can listen/download below!  Tell your friends, share it, go nuts.  It’s free music!

IS THAT YOUR GIRL?

Finally, some of y’all have been asking, so here it is, a streaming player for Is That Your Girl? for blogging/listening purposes… You can get the embed code by hitting the “share” button.  Enjoy!

SATURDAY NIGHT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT…

Cold as all hell, but beautiful too!

Viv and I arrived at the club around 12:30 or so, Blu Jemz was rocking the nice warm up set.  People started piling in around 1 AM.  Caught up with a few friends, bought some drinks, admired the view (Le Bain is on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel), got ready.  Around 2:15 or so it was time to go on.

The crowd was great.  Lots of energy, lots of smiles, lots of grinding out on the floor.  There was this crazy “maneater” vibe in the room, all the women were eying the men like lions stalking antelope.  One friend of mine, one of the nicest, quietest, shyest guys you’ll ever meet somehow ended up back in a hotel room with 2 of them!  He credited my performance for setting the mood in the club… :)

Finished up the set with “Is That Your Girl?” and it really went off.  I think Telli forgot his verse halfway through but it didn’t matter.  Sh-t was fun as hell, Jemz was working the delays and EQs the whole time.  It was a great time!  The adrenaline rush that followed was magnificent, but let me tell you, when I got home and it finally wore off I crashed HARD!

Can’t wait ‘til next time!  Got more gigs in the works, keep your eyes here for details!

GO DOWNLOAD THE NEW NINJASONIK MIXTAPE…

Your friends and mine, Ninjasonik released a new mixtape, “When Anxiety Attacks” yesterday.  It’s available as a free download at ninjasonik.com so there ain’t no excuse!

As you may know, Telli (from Ninjasonik) guests on my track “Is That Your Girl?” and his verse is straight fire.  I’ll be making a big announcement about the release of that one later this week, so stay tuned!
