We’ve changed our Twitter script so that the Dogglounge Twitter page will only tweet when there are live broadcasts from now on.  Before we were tweeting every song that played and that was a bit overwhelming, especially if you had SMS enabled.

So, now it is safe to enable SMS messages from Dogglounge.  All you got to do is select that little phone icon (make sure you follow us first) and make it green and you’ll start to get text messages to your mobile phone whenever there’s a live show.  How awesome is that?!  Never miss a live show again!

If you can get to Algarve June 12th head on over to Aqua Lounge in the Tivoli hotel for a great night out with Neonlogic and Voodoo Lopez.  Also you can catch the live broadcast with video right here on Dogglounge.

Now available on Beatport is the latest “We do it for the love” EP from House is The Cure Records, a side label put together by Kolour Records which gives all profits made from track sales to Detroit charities.

Also shouts out to James Johnston for putting a nice track together called, “Walk all night” for this album.  Get it here.

As you might not have known DJ Boogie Down (Dr. Santiago Arruffat) is a surgeon and has volunteered to go to Haiti to offer support to the earthquake victims there.  I just recently received a couple of text messages in which he’s updating friends and family on his status.  I will share a few excerpts and hope he doesn’t mind me sharing.

Hi all. We made it OK.  Here in pap (Port-Au-Prince) now.  Hot.  We are waiting for the next move.  We are all in a house waiting for a ride to the general hospital and to speak to the head nurse for assignment.

Conditions here are beyond what you have seen or can imagine.  Poverty is just appalling, painful to see the little kids in this place.  Hopefully tomorrow we can get started.  May even be tonight.  We have had very little sleep since departure and water is sparse.  We are rationing wisely.  Dinner?

This place is just unreal.  It has been a relatively slow day.  We were told not to expect anymore acute traumas (except for the gunshots at night) and they were right.  We went to the local clinic and… nothing.  We are going to the general hospital tomorrow where the action is.  The head nurse is expecting us.  There is also a hospital very near to where we are now.  We will try it first.

Today I saw many children in need of the very basics, things we take for granted.  This place is so abandoned, disheveled and unkempt.  Way over populated.

Update you again tomorrow.  Electricity is out and roughing it in a tent tonight.

I salute you Boogie and stay safe over there…

You might have caught this track on the stream with a poem from Muta Baruka so I thought I’d just drop a vid of the original poet at work via Def Poetry.  Enjoy dis poem!

Dear loungers,

As you know we’ve updated the website a little and there are still some things to do. Please be patient while I get everything back in order.
