Okay, so I need a super late pass for this one, but I finally got around to listening to track “My Eyes” by Chill Moody & Cody Kahmar today. All I have to say is, I’m a little mad at myself for not listening to it sooner. I love supporting Philly artists so obviously I had to buy it iTunes. Go spend that buck to get the track; it’s well worth it.

Beyonce – “Girls (Who Run The World)” prod. Diplo & Switch
One of my favorite Philadelphia DJ’s seems to be winning right now DJ DIPLO From his recent work with DJ Tiesto, Blackberry, and now he and his partner switch are producing more tracks with multi-platinum artist. Soon as I heard this song and Chris Brown’s Look at me now I instantly knew it was them.
Although this songs recycles some clips from their top Major Lazer song - Pon De Floor it is still exclusive. This song is 100% geared to the ladies.

E-MAIL INTERVIEW: DJ PHSH (@djphsh)
In our first interview on PhillySupportPhilly.com we bring you Matthew Lawrence Fishman-Dickerson aka DJ PHSH who is a great fixture in the Philadelphia Nightlife complex. From DJing his Tuesday night epic known as Superdope or doing many gigs around the city.
1. Where did you get the name DJ PHSH?
My full name is Matthew Lawrence Fishman-Dickerson. The “PHSH” came from a flip of the “Fishman…” but I didn’t want to be associated with the band “Phish,” so I took out the vowel. This was in the 10th grade, “before that I was calling myself Mix master Fishy, haha”
2. How long have you been DJing?
I’ve been DJing since the 9th grade (14), but didn’t start playing out until I was 17. I’m 22 now, so I guess I’ve been doing this for 9 years (yikes).
3. What was your first DJ setup and First paying gig like?
My first DJ setup was the Stanton DJ-in-a-box. It was two straight-arm turntables & a three-channel mixer. My first paying gig was my best friend’s sweet 16, so it was pretty chill.
4. What is your DJ Current setup
My current setup is 2 Technics 1200s, Serato Scratch Live, My Macbook & a Rane 57 mixer (w/ the video SL to scratch & play video).
5. What is the Phenomena known as Superdope you created with F.A.M.E. One and Vanache (Istarted going to Superdope in 2009 when I randomly seen the flyer and YouTube video on fiftyonefiftyone.com saying “We Sweat out Weaves” the fact that the party didn’t end till like 5AM and had a “Dope” crowd keeps me coming and bring more friends)
Superdope is a party I started in the winter of ‘09. Originally, it was just me, F.A.M.E. ONE & Ag3nt M.O.E. (R.I.P.), with help from Suga Shay & her friend at the time. Vanache showed up around March, helping with promo. We’ve been at 2 venues since, and now have found our home Tuesdays at Fluid Nightclub, right off of 4th & South.
The party stems from hip-hop, but a broader understanding of the genre itself. It’s not just about what’s current, even though that’s part of it. It’s also not just about the classics, which is part of it as well. It’s a combination of the two, creating a new understanding that we identify as “Timeless” music. New & old together, as long as it’s good music that will last forever in our hearts & minds.
6. Describe your “Scene” and what is going on with it?
All I can say is that the “scene” is in a strange place…not just in Philly, but everywhere. I feel like there aren’t enough leaders that are representing for the right reasons…just microwave concepts that won’t last, mainly because their hearts aren’t behind it.
7. Recently you left Philly to Preform in SXSW 2011 what was that experience like? What does that mean for DJ PHSH the Brand?
It was pretty hectic…soooooo many people. It was my first time, so I was a little frazzled, but next year will be way better. I did get to see EPMD perform…pretty dope.
As far as my brand, it shows people that are looking in my direction that I’m making moves other places, which is always a plus. I’ll definitely be traveling more very soon.
8. The Afro, What’s the deal and thought process that went into your most identifiable DJ characteristic? How long have you been growing it?
There’s not much behind it, just a hairstyle. Ladies like it haha. I’ve been growing it for over 3 years now.
9. Any Collaborations, Projects or Mixtapes in the works?
Well I’m DJing for STS of the Money Making Jam Boys consistently, and helping with his upcoming mixtape “The Illustrious.” The SUPERDOPE mixtape will be done and put online by May. I also have an instrumental album in the works that’ll I’ll hopefully put out by the summer.
10. What are the local artist, brands, and venues you would like to shout out?
Shouts out to
-F.A.M.E. ONE
-Suga Shay
-Fluid Nightclub
-Urban Ditty
-Ricky Codio
-STS
-Money Making Jam Boys
-Sela

ASAAD x DRAGON KING = GREY STARS
Asaad x Dragon King = GREY STARS by PhillySupportPhilly
Asaad lights up our iPods and iTunes with this new original with Dragon King titled “Grey Stars” It is worth a listen to get away from what we currently have on the radio.
I by chance discovered Asaad’s music a few months back by randomly clicking on a retweeted twitter link. I see him going places and I genuinely like his music and style.

Restaurant Week is Back!
If you know nothing about me by now, it should be that I love food. Okay, and music..and the occasional adult beverage but more so, food! So I’m elated that Restaurant Week is back already.
Jan 16-21 & 23-28, you can stop by any number of participating restaurants and enjoy $35 per person dinners & $20 three-course lunches. There are quite a few restaurants that I haven’t gotten around to trying yet so I’ll definitely be taking the next few weeks to try out Bindi, Garces Trading Co, Pumpkin, & Tweed.
Click here to check the list of all participating restaurants.

Welcome to the AYE
Less than a month into Winter and here we are - snowed in again. Kind of. Ok, actually there’s not that much snow on the ground right now. But if you, like I, will be using that as an excuse to stay indoors today here’s some music to pass the time.
Today is the official release of DJ Aye Boogie’s Mixtape: Welcome to the Aye. It’s a 21 track collection featuring quite a few Philly artists so of course we had to let you know about it.
Download here.

Winter Beer Fest
Okay, I admit I’m not usually that big of a beer drinker, buuut I have been trying to expand my tastes beyond Coronas, Kenzingers, and Ciders. So if you’re in the same boat as myself, or you just need an excuse to be day-time drunk, I highly suggest checking out the Winter Beer Fest.
It’s being held Jan 22nd at Starlight Ballroom and for$40, you can try over 60 different beers in one of the 4-hour sessions. Don’t worry, it’s easily accessible by SEPTA (because no one wants a drunky driver on the roads) or if you happen to have a friend that’s 21+ but doesn’t get down with the boozin, they can purchase a designated driver ticket for only $10.
Click here to purchase tickets or get more information.
