As previously mentioned, I’ll be starting at Mosquito soon. I was supposed to already be turning the platters there, but I was previously booked for the coming month on fridays. So, with that said, December 14th will be my first night at Mosquito. It should be fun, and I’ve been spending some time getting my reggaeton crates up as well as my uptempo dance stuff. Should be different, and not the same ‘ol two step!
Hope everyone had a good holiday (even though it’s not really a holiday I believe in). Okay, I guess I can somewhat get down with the holiday (these days it’s more about just spending time with family and friends anyway), I just wish it wasn’t romanticized the way it is here in the public school system. Somebody needs to teach the kids the truth!
Last night at Hi 5 was the truth. At first they had my room closed off for a private party. One of the high schools around here rented the room out for the night (big money!). So at first I was kind of stuck spinning somewhat of a Clear Channel’s Best Hits playlist, haha. Eventually around 12:30, they HAD to open the back room because the front was so packed and the line to get in was insane. By the time the room filled up it was around 12:45 or so. As a DJ, knowing you get to pack your entire night into an hour is like a license to go crazy! And the crowd was so responsive, jumpin to all my transitions. I love that place!
Over the next two weeks I’m taking some time off from my job. From working every day and DJing all my off days, I’m just kind of tired of the routine. This is kind of like my Christmas gift to myself. I’m making good use of my off time:
Tuesday: FREE Ghostface Show at the cradle
Wednesday: My first hockey game (go canes!)
Thursday: Going up to DC to support my boy, Nick The 1da, in a beat grinder battle.
I’m going to Toronto in about a week and half. I hope I don’t freeze to death. Even if I do, it’s gonna be fun to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a really LONG time. And I might be spinning out there one of the nights of my trip (details to come).
Bundle Up…
Outkast – Da Art of Storytellin pt. 4 — So many things to quote from this song but you really just need to hear the whole thing.. It’s from DJ Drama’s upcoming Gangsta Grillz album, which from all the joints I’ve heard thus far, is shaping up to be nice.
I started out starvin’ // Now they got me out here Brett Favre’in // tryin to see if I still got it, got it…
And with that said, new Forge & Amen coming soon…
