Party Foul

I had the wonderful privilege of spinning at a gigantic and epic party last night here at Oberlin College. Joining me were two phenomenal DJs, Harry Bornstein and Mike McGill, and the amazing duo FX Unicorn. Everything was going just as planned, the music was hot and the kids on the dance floor were eating it up. Then, about 6 or 7 songs into my set, this guy spills my beer all over my computer. It seemed fine at first, but within 30 seconds my monitor died. Needless to say it is pretty much impossible for me to mix anything when I can't see shit on my screen. The whole party was screaming for more and I couldn't give it to them. Luckily FX Unicorn jumped into action and got people moving again. To top it off, McGill played a 3 1/2 hour set without missing a beat, and I think everybody just about shit themselves from dancing so hard. Despite the major party foul, it was a sick party.

Now that my computer is all dried out and functioning normally again, I decided to take some time and record the set that I would have played last night.

Super Inaugural Celebration Extravaganza

So we've got another sweet party for all you kids out there. This Friday, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will be gracing SLC with their amazing funk/jazz/nu-soul ridiculousness. If you for some reason have been living under a rock or on Staten Island, the Dap-Kings have worked with Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, The Budos Band, and Antibalas, and they're probably the single best R&B act since Otis Redding. That one starts at 8:30 under a big fucking white tent (and they play the Apollo on Saturday night), but be sure to stick around for the afterparty: 11:30 in the Blue Room. I, and quite possibly your boy Speakeasy will be spinning for some classy people. That means you.
