Before I write any post, I prepare notes as a guideline to make it easier. And when I was writing down all the things I had to talk about, it hit me: There is an astronomical amount to talk about. Since I got to LA, the first month was insane, and since my last post I’ve had even more events and random things going on.
First off, as many dedicated followers might notice, I stopped blogging about #FrecceroFeatureFriday. I noticed that most people care about what song I select, as oppose to my written review of it. To continue following my song selections for each week, search #FrecceroFeatureFriday or follow my Facebook and Twitter page!
Now jumping right into it, the past couple months have been unreal. I went to EDC Las Vegas, which was – no exaggeration – the hardest I’ve ever partied in my entire life. I met incredible people and had the best experience you can imagine. I’ve been using the app RollRandom for sometime, which is a great way to meet EDM fans and ravers, and we all met up at EDC to party together:

Although it was wicked hot (100+ degrees everyday), it didn’t slow anything down in terms of all the events. Every morning I’d wake up, start partying around 2/3pm, and then go until 6 or 7am – it was like Vegas on steroids. Here are a few videos from EDC:

After an absolutely incredible time at EDC, I came back to LA to continue the hustle. I’ve been producing like crazy, and recently released two tracks. The first one is a Moombahton banger that features the Ragga Twins, check it out here:
In addition, I released a track called Moscow Mule – it’s a tropical house/jazzy track, which was a fun side project to do:
At the time of this post, I’m just finishing up my next EP – wicked excited about this one. It’s called Viva La Entrepreneur, and it’s a 5-track EP where each song is about a given entrepreneur that’s changed my life in one way or another. Here’s a mini preview that I did of the first track, Gary Vaynerchuk.

I’m planning on releasing it on August 1st – but more on that later!
Jumping back to the events, I went to my first day pool party in LA. I’ve heard good things, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Before I went out that weekend, I got an interesting alert on my phone – which was pretty epic:

I went to The Standard, and it was a pretty upbeat party – although I pictured the pool being a bit bigger. After The Standard, and I got back to my place, I happened to walk by a random Mexican party – which I somehow got invited to. It was an extremely random Saturday:

It was one of my friend’s birthdays as well, so we all took a picture before we left:

In addition to partying, producing music, blogging, vlogging, and more, I’ve been working out like crazy. Here’s a random picture I took at LA Fitness after doing a 12 Minute Cool Dip (it’s super ice cold water like a hot tub, but beyond freezing):

I’ve also been working more on a Planche Pushup, and I’ve been getting closer and closer. It just takes so long to get one, but I’ve finally gotten a solid handstand to straddle planche, which is one step closer:

The next week, I went to the legendary Exchange LA club to see Ben Nicky kill it with an insane set. He’s known for trance and psytrance, and I’ve actually never seen a trance DJ live – so it was a good thing to knock off my bucket list:

In addition, I happened to photobomb my friend’s photo…and it turns out, Ben Nicky decided to post it on his Instagram:

In addition, I found that there was a Parkour gym called JAM just 0.7 miles from my house. I’ve been training there almost every day, here are some of the videos I’ve taken of moves I’ve been working on:

Life has been absolutely non-stop, and even recently, I went to my first warehouse party. Warehouse parties are a staple of electronic music, and it was a crazy event last night. Me and my friend Nicole went to a random alley that had two guys standing by an interesting door. After stating that we were on the list, we went inside an enclosed parking lot to meet other bouncers to finally get inside.
The room as a bit smaller than I imagined, but it was wicked cool inside. There were crazy designs on the walls and a dope house vinyl DJ was killing it on the decks. In addition, Smirnoff was there with a completely free open bar – which was awesome. The whole night was crazy and non-stop, as LA parties continue to live up to their reputation.
Overall, LA has been absolutely incredible, as I’ve been finishing up so many tracks, working out like crazy, and meeting incredible people. Life is awesome.
