Did I say throwing parties?--surfin' and divin' (it's been awhile since I had time tho'), listenin' to music REAALLY loud (gotta FEEL that music), travelin', tryin' new things, welding (to make things like wicked-looking candleholders and stuff), breaking stuff apart and puttin them back to together, learnin'--oh yeah, and dancin, of course!!!
Music
I believe that the electronic music genre is the ultimate genre of music, because for an artist to be really good in this genre, the artist must understand and respect every other genre of music to produce really good electronic music.
With that said…
My favorites include Techno, House, Drum&Bass/Jungle, Breakbeat, Trance, Hard House, Goa Trance, and my latest kicks have been Electro-House and Persian Music…
I am a proud supporter (meanin’ that I pledge to) of KCRW's Metropolis, The Drop, Nocturna, etc.--be sure to check out their streamin’ music, and check out Digitally Imported Radio…
Collectin' music, everything from Sarah Mclachlan to Niyaz, DJ Tiesto to Crystal Method, Depeche Mode to Sublime, Nine Inch Nails to Delerium, Plump DJs to Moby, Metallica to Paul Oakenfold, Lilly Allen to James Zabiela—check out my frenz list for all my favorite artists (if I didn’t get you down, add me as a friend!); and a lot of really cool demos from up and comin’ DJs, just to have that "in" to what the freshest music is out there...are ya still awake out there??!!

Books
I am more of a spiritual person, leaning more to Eastern/ Gnostic teachings nowadays...
So:
"The Dancing Wu-Li Masters"
"Seat of the Soul"
Readin' what's not in the Bible like "The Gnostic Bible" and "The Secret Teachings of Jesus" to thump back on Crazed Christian Bible Thumpers (do they actually READ the Bible?)...I do consider myself a member of The Gnostic Society
Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Dale Brown, and Tom Clancy...
And, of course, "Generation Ecstasy", a most excellent primer on the history of the Electronic Music Scene!!!
If ya really wanna know what else I like, and maybe you even wanna get me a gift for my bday/xmas/etc., push da button:
Heroes
Anyone who chooses to step off the beaten path to see where the rabbit hole really goes...

Graduated high school early and spent five years in the Navy as a glorified pipe fitter (better known as a nuclear engineer) and a scuba diver on a submarine, got out to make more money doing the same thing without the nuclear reactor...Decided to go to school to be a rig diver, and ended up a building inspector, first working for one of the largest inspection companies in LA, and now actually working for the City of LA (kinda helps me with the nightside).
If you're just dyin' to know more about my "day side" life, then check me out here!
The night side:
Music is one of my biggest passions, and I got involved with the Electronic Music Scene about ten years ago, the LA music scene about five years ago...It took one shady party too many for me to decide to do something about it, so I became a promoter and threw a couple of parties, promoted for TranceClubHeaven and Circus (Hollywood), and even managed to run a warehouse in dowtown LA for a bit.
For those knowledgeable in the scene, we threw ALL4YOU, MOTION, THE STUDIO HOUSEWARMING PARTY, SWEETER AFTER, and the last party I had a hand in was HAVE IT YOUR WAY...our warehouse hosted parties for Gravy, Cody Lee, DJ Wolfie, Sublevel, and the biggest parties I had a hand in hosting there were RAVER'S TOY BOX, UNDER THE SEA, and SHAKE LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE...
I'm always down to go out with friends and show my support for our scene...One of the big reasons for doin' what I do is to see a few of my talented DJ friends rise up in the scene, like Bill Harvey (aka DJ Waldo), John Pegnato, DJ Manik (talk about some turntablism skillz!) and Cevin Foster, DJs that can really tear it up on the tables!!!! Be sure to catch all the up and comin' DJs in my frenz list!!!
I even managed to find a gal that loves the electronic music scene almost as much as I do...many a gal have drifted out of my life because they didn't like my music or my scene...I love having someone as cool and as open-minded as my Jen...
Who I'd like to meet: Einstein, because I didn't truly believe in God until learnin' nuclear physics...there's a lot more to E=Mc squared than you might think!!!
Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...
Thanks for reading. And if you enjoy these little sayings I send out, take a look at my site, http://TankJones.com and take a look at my blogs. You can also see a lot of pics of events I've done, music I've made and learn about my foundation.
CaliToxic brings you the second edition of our Halloween Costume Party...
New World Order 2
Once a year, the CaliToxic crew puts together an event that is all about people coming together as one.
We promote freedom of expression, love, peace, and a new experience of life. There are so many negative things that go on in our lives, so why not get together and shake your ass in order to let go and let live.
This annual event began last year (2008) on October 25th, as a celebration in loving memory of Mark Figueroa Rebolloso, who died at an extremely young age due to gang violence. With not much expectations for the first event, the CaliToxic crew was completely blown away by the response and number of people who came out to support last year. It was an excellent blend of live hip-hop and electronica, making for a kick-ass night of music that everyone enjoyed.
ALL PROCEEDS AT THIS FESTIVAL WILL BE GIVEN TO THE WIT FOUNDATION FOR KIDS.
