Le Sweet Addiction: Friday 6 July

About Me

I'm Edson, and I'm from Mexico, but I've been living in Houston for the last 12 years.For the last two years, I've been one of the Resident DJs @ Azteca's, playing every other week, alternating with DJ ViceVerza. Come listen to my sets and give me some feedback! I try to stay away from the radio hits, so I concentrate more in rare tracks and b-sides.My sets are a mix of tracks mostly in Spanish, but I don't mind dropping a song in English or any other language, or tracks with no lyrics, only electronic beats!You can keep up with my Azteca's dates and other events on my calendar.I'm a firm believer in karma, whatever you do, it'll catch up to you eventually.And for those of you that just have to know; Shilbalam comes from a maya word that means "Jaguar Wizard". * * * * * *Que onda? Soy Edson y soy de Mexico pero llevo mas de una decada viviendo en Houston.Llevo un rato como Resident DJ en Azteca's, alternando con DJ ViceVerza cada 15 dias. Asi que date una vuelta por el antro mas rockero de Houston, escucha las rolas que pongo y dame tu opinion! Usualmente no pongo los exitos de radio, sino que me concentro en rarezas y b-sides, las rolas que no fueron sencillos en su tiempo. Puedes ver que fechas me pueden encontrar en Azteca's u otros antros y eventos.Creo mucho en el karma, todo lo que haces, a final de cuentas te alcanzara.Y Para los preguntones: Shilbalam viene de una palabra maya que significa Brujo Jaguar* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

My Interests

Music: If there's an interesting concert in town, you'll probably find me there. I listen to a variety of artists/bands, but I favor music that's going to challenge my ears. And now I have a side project called Le Sweet Addiction, a monthly party to make you dance!Música: Si hay alguna tocada en Houston, ahí me verán. Me laten una variedad de bandas y cantantes, pero le tiro más a la música fresca, que no suene a lo mismo que tocan otras bandas. Ahora tambien tengo un proyecto llamado Le Sweet Addiction, que espero se convierta en una fiesta mensual para bailar!World Football/ Fúbol Mundial: Club América (México), Barcelona (Spain), Manchester United (England) Bayern München (Germany)Tambien formo parte de la Monumental de Texas, la barra del América. Organizo la rama de Houston, ya somos un chingo y cada vez somos más!

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet people who can keep up a conversation. If you're into films and music, even better. Don't add me to your list if you're just a collector and you are trying to have as many "friends" as you can. I actually try to keep up with people on my list. NOTE TO BANDS: I will not add you unless I actually like your music, however, you can send your request to http://myspace.com/rockenhouston and I will add you to that profile, even if your band sucks. /// Me late conocer gente que puede mantener una plática amena e inteligente. Si te late ver filmes y la música en general, pues son puntos a favor. No me añadas a tu lista si no tienes intenciones de mantener contacto o si solo eres coleccionista de "amigos", ya que yo si trato de mantenerme en contacto con todos los que estan en mi lista. NOTA PARA LAS BANDAS: No aceptare invitaciones a menos de que me lata su material, pero pueden ir a http://myspace.com.rockenhouston y seran bienvenidos.
