So i was relaxing and turned the webcam on to chill with a few friends as I spun, and about 2 hours later I decided to spin for the rest of the evening. I only grabbed about 2 out of the 4 hours on film, as it were, but here it is for you to enjoy.

Enjoy… it’s not what you’re expecting.  😉

So a friend of mine wanted to introduce me to a DJ at a lounge in NYC, Babel, and was like… “Do you have a demo you can give him?”

“Sure”, says I.

“Not trance and stuff, though… hip hop, raggae, raggaeton…. that sort of stuff.”

“Yeah… no problem.”  Blatent lie.  If you know me as a DJ, I’m all about electronica in it’s various forms.  I may stick to certain styles, but it’s all about electronica.

So here I am, not knowing much about this style besides they’re great to dance to with a girl that can dance.  So I start looking for tracks, building from artists that I know… playlist it, mix it, check it…. got it on the first take.  Thus the name, Take One.  I have a lot to learn about DJing this kind of music, but I’m happy with this demo.  Hopefully the DJ at Babel is too.  😀

Hope everyone had a good time last night… Tom and I had a blast throwing the party!!

Here’s the recording of the party… I had some internet connection issues, so it got broken into 3 parts… It’s starts off slow, like any party, but picked up later into the night… the video is a bit crappy, but the audio’s solid… and that’s what I care about, so…  😀

Follow the link for the videos…

I grew up with hip-hop, and I’ve always had a love for it. But lately, I don’t know… something’s been missing. I’m not a big fan of southern rap, which is dominating right now. Sure there are some exceptions, Ludacris and Outkast for example, but overall, hip-hop feels like it’s on a downward slope. For me, anyway…

Of course, every once in a while, there comes a track (and hopefully an album) from someone that just turns it around.  Now, I haven’t heard anything else from him recently, but Q-Tips new track just feels right!  I can’t get enough of it, and I hope the album that goes along with it is as good.
