I did a quick hop over to The Nederlands in October to get out of NYC for 5 minutes and avoid doing any real work.

He was in town to do a party for the launch of some skater shoe for Vans, and he asked myself and Dante Ross if we'd like to spin with him. You can read about Jules' impact on my life in the very long story of how I became a DJ. He's one of my true musical mentors, a stand up g[...]
