Earlier this year I created a video short for Scion’s Installation 6: Video Art Tour group show. In retrospect it should have been half as long but hindsight is 20/20 and I’m not a video artist, so fuck it. To my knowledge this is the first time it’s been made available to view by the public in it’s entirety. Enjoy.

Malo was a San Francisco based Latin ensemble led by Carlos Santana’s brother Jorge. “Sauvecito”, released in 1972, was a hit single for the band and became a lowrider classic overnight.

Good friend and partner in crime Vin Sol just dropped a new funk/soul/disco/house mix entitled “Wizard H.O.U.S.E.” I had the pleasure of creating the artwork and naming it. Listen/download here.
