Spent some time on the west coast last week, LA & SF to be specific. Definitely appreciate everyone who made this mid year visit possible, a great time was had.
Many thanks to my cousin, @jabari and the @rnbonly fam, and all of the Bay Area DJs I saw that KILLED IT.
The inspiration was found, the tacos were eaten and the good times were had - thank you. Much more from my trip out west is on the way…

A very fun Saturday night at @goodlovelounge (until someone spilled a drink on the dj equipment (😩😠😠) - it was rocking in there though, and the line was crazy - get there early folks❗️❗️❗️
Found a folder on an old laptop labeled “2009” and the photos are pure gold. Some of these might be from 2007 or 08 but man the DJing was pure (turntables), my chin was defined and the Bolt Bus was VERY cheap from DC to NYC. Seeing AM, Stretch and Pase Rock, plus more djs, on one line up was INSANE! That Do Over is from the second time I played in 2010 which was unfortunately the same weekend DJ AM passed (RIP). Peace to @premiumgoodsbk , that was a fun Block Party to play and a great time to be movin and groovin up and down I-95.
The Platform Mix 589 features @jeromebaker3rd ! Originally from Arizona, Jerome has been in Washington DC for the last 22 years. He’s played all over from R&B & Ribs in San Francisco to New York, Boston, Austin and more. Be sure to follow Jerome Baker on his socials to see all his upcoming gigs. Subscribe to my Patreon to see full track lists from the mixes, take a look at my top tracks of the week and get a look into what I’m playing out in my sets. Now turn those speakers up and let’s get into it with Jerome Baker’s latest right here, on The Platform.
For this story, and this story only, call me DJ Romey Rome -
Now I never show up late to gigs, but this night I was 90 minutes late because I had 2 gigs prior that day and 4 gigs prior that weekend (2 Friday, 2 Saturday). 90 minutes after I arrive Jeezy and his people show up - they are cool, we communicate well and I know what it is. The venue is very solid in what it wants played - lots of Afro house, deep house and smidge of amapiano and Afro beats which is a great dinner soundtrack IMO. Jeezys people wanted to keep it light on the hip hop and told me to “do your thing, its all good”.
After 2 hours of your favorite house remixes, soulful house, deep house, etc I was ready to switch the room up and dropped “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” by Angie Stone - at that point I watched Jeezy rise up from his seat with a glass of red and point at me like “ok lets go”. For the next 2 hours I dropped funk, soul, all the cool rap samples that we love (and alot that people dont know) and much more.
I could keep talking but instead listen to the mix (link in my stories) - its very good, with stellar transitions and really good song selection. If you listen to the “DJ Romey Rome” part you are a real one!
Please welcome my man @jeromebaker3rd !! From Mesa all the way to DC I’ve rocked with my guy for the last 10 years!! I can’t wait to get him on the show! Tune in this Saturday 9pm mst @live1015phoenix !! #valentineandfriends #jeromebaker3 #live1015phoenix #livedjs
NEW MUSIC OUT ON BANDCAMP
@jeromebaker3rd and @_jo.palmer_ link up for another remix
“Far Away (Even Further)” their flip on the beloved “Far Away” from UK superstar @littlesimz , With hard hitting drums, an infectious bassline and a killer piano riff this club ready remix is destined to kill every set at the party, festival, club
Whenever my guy @djrayvon_ asks me to DJ it is an automatic yes - I was fortunate to DJ this past Sunday in Richmond at #RecessOntheJames and it was a FUNCTION! @
@frankrite804 CRUSHED his set and as soon as I was done rockin @sbstnvga went crazy and CRUSHED his!
S/o to @hiphophenry_@ralph_lorenzo , my man John, and everyone else that pulled up - it was a good time.
Also - my rant was influenced by poor urban design, skateboarding, and having a torn meniscus - lets go!
Stripes over checks..early morning PSA because the 1987er in me would have never, but trends and style change and these grey chin hairs look better with a Ralph sweater than a Stussy shirt.
I also understand that no 12 year old should be worried about “brand loyalty” more than getting good grades and being a gentle, kind hearted person - but have u seen a Nike tennis fit executed perfectly? COLD 🎾🎾🎾
Good times up and down the east coast this past Friday
S/o @upstatenydad and the entire staff at @thenightowlsaratoga - the BEST team in nightlife and just really good ppl - the hospitality is greatly appreciated!
