UncategorizedComments Off on DJ Nuts “Arthur Verocai Mix” – Free Download
We’re fans of DJ Nuts here at Peach, and here is a free mix he did of Arthur Verocai songs courtesy of Mochilla (click the image above to download). A little background:
One the eve of the Verocai Timeless Concert Series show, DJ Nuts was supposed to perform with Madlib. He made the arduous journey from Brasil after completing a show with Marcelo D2. He endured a punishing series of flights that took 20 hours to complete, and in the end, a plane delay caused him to miss his own set at the start of the show.
In a pinch, J. Rocc stepped up to the plate and performed a stellar set at the Luckman in his place, and Nuts went on to DJ a mind-blowing two hour set at the after-party.
So much of Mochilla’s dealings in Brasil would not have been possible without Rodrigo Teixera (known to the world as DJ Nuts). The Verocai concert surely would never have happened without him. His role in helping with the pre and post coordination was enormous.
DJ Nuts is an astute and rigorous historian of Brasil’s vast and varied musical culture. His record collection is legendary; his skills as a DJ are world class. Mochilla commissioned him to make this mix to help people understand the extraordinary legacy of Verocai. Many by now know Verocai’s self-titled album, some even know the more popular compositions and arrangements, but none have dug as hard as Nuts. Years of collecting and a strong friendship with Verocai himself have made this historic mix possible. 78 minutes of all Verocai compositions and arrangements is a dream come true.
Wow, we’re having a really hard time believing the news…GURU has passed away at age 43 (edit: 47, thanks jon) reportedly from cancer. Taken before his time… really a class act.
I think Mos said it best, “Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank”. Cosiner just tweeted about the West African Women & Water Training Program in Ghana.
Just thought we’d give you a heads up since Nixon watches tend to sell out and then be out of stock for several months…a bunch of styles were restocked today. You can find them all here.

Sorry, we got this message too late for the opening, but it’s still important work…
N*ggaSh*t , the show, is a commentary on the current state of where we are as a people within, and built out of the age old traditions of slavery, genocide, illiteracy, and the evolution of our resiliency to survive. The works seek to investigate some of the icons that have played a role in the “dumbing down” of our American culture and stomp out their historic relevancy with a modern day twist.
Bicasso (Josh Whitaker) and Z-man (Zamon ) have come together to diagnose these sicknesses, habits and distractions that all fall under N*iggaShi*t, as they see them thru their creative eye, and hold a mirror up to up and say “Wake up! We ARE the future.
Show is up now at the Lower Haters Gallery at 597 Haight St, SF CA 94117

So, a friend of mine had a bunch of really amazing cookies made for me for my birthday a couple of months ago. And so I asked the amazing baker to make her some cookies as well (my friend is a HUGE Amanda Visell fan). Thought they turned out crazy good!
