MY FAVORITE AM VIDEO

There are plenty of bitchin' AM videos out there, but for whatever reason, this one is my favorite. From what I've read, he just showed up at this club and they let him get on the decks for a few minutes. Not only does he annihilate the room, but he visibly shakes the DJ that is supposed to go on after him and it appears the guy doesn't want to follow him lol. Enjoy!

30 MINUTE WORKOUT VOLUME 3: THE HIP-HOP EDITION

Here is a 30 minute hip-hop only set from my gig the other night. I have always loved old school hip-hop. Listening to it is like taking a trip back to a better time in music. The lyrics were the original, the beats were sampled, and it always kept your head nodding.

You could call this a tribute to DJ AM if you want to. I know he was a big hip-hop fan, and listening to his sets and some of the recent Do-Over sets inspired me to throw this together, even though it's all off the top of my head and on the fly. Hope you enjoy it!! If you do, subscribe to my podcast and let your friends know to do the same. The hits are gonna keep on coming! Have a great weekend!

THE GOOD OLD DAYS..

I'll have a new mix uploaded later this weekend, but I was going through my computer working on a set for tomorrow night and came across this oldie but goodie. Asylum Nightclub was the first (and probably still the best) nightclub I've ever worked for. I started there when I was 19 back in 2001 and played there every weekend until it closed in December 2005. It was the first club I ever heard an electronic music DJ play (Matt Freeman), and going there on my 18th birthday changed my life. This is part 1 of the recording of my final set there. I have no idea what's happened to part 2, but I hope you take time to listen to and enjoy this mix. No Serato, no Ableton, no editing. Just 2 turntables, some cheap CD players, and a mixer. The way it used to be. Enjoy it, everyone!

Sorry it took me a little longer than expected to get this done. I recorded another set, and hated it, so I recompiled and made this set instead .

If you read my previous post on AM's passing, you know how much I was influenced by him, and I am planning on doing a tribute set for him.

This 30 minute workout set isn't the tribute to AM I plan on, but it does have a few tracks I know were big ones for him. And I thought the final track was appropriate as well. I'm playing at a fairly open format event on Friday night the 11th and plan on putting something together that will be a more fitting tribtute, done completely on the fly on 2 turntables and a mixer, the way he would have liked it.

IN THE MEANTIME...

I'm still working on a new workout mix this weekend, but I'm not having inspiration for whatever reason, so I found another live mix from last year to post in the meantime. This was recorded on my birthday weekend in April 2008 at Atmosphere Nightclub in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton is a fairly commercial radio music type town, so this is more a reflection of my commercial club music side, with some exceptions here and there. I'll have a new workout mix up very soon, but enjoy this in the meantime!!
