DJ Antomattei of Tokyo Newsletter March 2011

FIRST THINGS FIRST It's so hard for me to get into "tweeting" but I am trying.  Give me some incentive to tweet.  I'll do it more if I get more people to follow me.  Find me on Twitter @djantomatteihttp://www.twitter.com/djantomattei  MARCH AND THE BIG PARTY OF THE MONTH! Marc with a pen & pad in hand? Digits? I think that equates to "bi-winning." "VivaTokyo" put on a great Valentine's Day party on February 13th at Polygon in Omotesando, Tokyo.  The "San Valentín Party♡" was off the hook; the organizers were all cool dudes (hey that includes me too) and the girls were off the hook fine.  I made sure I left with a few numbers (like 5), emails, and new friends.  The party was stupid crazy fun for me and if you missed it I feel sorry for you. The good news is VivaTokyo is doing it all over again this month!  In celebration of hanami and the beginning of spring, VivaTokyo has organized a new "Sakura Fiesta" party taking place in Roppongi at the end of the month.  Here are the details for that.  Make sure to register from the site. ..•.¸¸•´¯•.¸¸.ஐSakura Fiestaஐ..•.¸¸•´¯•.¸¸. みなさん、この桜パーティーに参加してくださいねぜひ来て楽しんでいってくださいღJoin us for the best Sakura Party in Tokyo!Come over and have fun! ★ >>Schedule: Saturday March 26th ✝20:00 - 23:00✝ >>Capacity: 150人 We moved to a new place!VivaTokyoのパーティーの場所が変わりました！メトロ六本木駅から歩いて４分です！詳しくは地図を見てね♪ >>Address: 〒106-0032 東京都港区六本木3-15-24 モリカワビル3F >>Entry: 3000 yenAll you can drink+snacks*** Get 500 yen discount through calendar reservation **Go to-->  http://www.vivatokyo.com/ ♫<('o'<)^( '-' )^(>‘o’)>v( ‘.’ )v<(' .' )>♫  BLACK HISTORY MONTH TOKYO 2011 Last month in February Tokyo's black community put on some of the hottest live music shows, club events, fashion shows, workshops, etc. all part of the festivities of promoting BHM abroad.  I can't remember even myself, maybe there were seven events?  Eight?  Well I just know we had a lot going on and if you attended any of them you were definitely in for a treat.  Everybody who's anybody was there and if you weren't, I feel sorry for ya man. Anyways I'm not gonna talk your head off.  Just seen the thank you's roll through one last time earlier today and I think it would be great if I post them now.  If I tried to say this myself I know I would leave somebody out by accident.  This list of thank you's is actually courtesy of Monique Dehaney, head of M&U Entertainment who was the main organizer overseeing all events and the whole production.  So from me, a thank you to Monique.  Here's that shout out list now The Pink Cow, Traci Consoli, Fifty Seven Lounge, Petra Adrienne, Michelle Grosvenor, Nadya Dee, Solar Midnite, Roxana Nazarova, LaTonya Whitaker, David Whitaker, Showtime Japan, Marcus Bird, Wayne Neil, Alvetta Smith, Daisha Hunter, Henry Moreland Seals, (MAD) Marc Antomattei Designs, DJ E Smoove, Monique Sloley, Schanita Simmons-Ramos, Dean Jackson, and Dwayne Bullock. Respect!  LASTLY* For Black History Month and the BHM Tokyo 2011 Kick-Off Party I compiled a listing of 25 songs I felt would define BHM around the world this year.  Comprised of classic black themed songs and contemporary music.  During the kick-off event I only had enough time allotted to make it halfway through my DJ set, so no one got to hear the full list in its entirety.  I present it to you now i the order of play, giving you the full spectrum of what I personally had going on in my mind that I wanted to share with all of you.  This is the list! 1) Mos Def – Fear Not Of Man2) The Winans – Let My People Go3) Miles Davis - Tutu4) Herbie Hancock – I Have A Dream5) Brand New Heavies – Brother Sister6) R.
