It's a great idea, but it got bigger than I expected soooo quickly! Thereby hijacking most of my time outside of my main job for most of 2006. The podcast now has over 3000 subscribers as well as close to 4000 members of the site itself. It's gotten big quickly and I'm looking to make some decisions in the next month whether to keep it, get an investor and make it my main income source, sell it, or close it because although I love this great idea... I NEED TO PLAY and DJ more than I need to run this site. So that's why I wasn't playing out as much in 2006. I was however very busy with mixes and you can check this site's podcast for my mixes over 2006. 10.28.06 - Downshiftradio.com w/Drrty of www.drrtynewyork.com 10.26.06 - Girls on Decks @ SinSin w/Miss BlueSky! 02.15.06 - Launch of ExerciseRadio.com 02.03.06 - Sinsation @ Pacha

 Loka@Sullivan Room
More Loka Info Loka grew up surrounded by Latin, RnB, Soul, Disco and the beginnings of HipHop & Rap. DJs, MCs, music and dance was the common bonding point and where Loka's journey behind the decks began as a teenager in her best friend's basement. Dance, DJ'ing and sneaking into NYC looking for the 'dancer's high' gave her a true underground education. Barely a teen when she found the Paradise Garage and The Loft she knew her life was changed forever on those dance floors. It was there she learned the importance of LIVINGYOUR DREAMS, not just talking about it. That inspiration runs through every shred of Loka's life to this day, and there's nowhere better to understand it than to hear Loka play. Years after becoming a successful trainer and instructor and entrpreneur she took advantage of the Scratch Academy in NYC to renew and reinvigorate her facility on the decks, proving that you don't 'GET INTO' house music. HOUSE MUSIC GETS INTO YOU.
