As someone who’s played music to a crowd live, in the living room or in a club this comes up not as often as it once has. A DJ has become synonymous with nightlife but really not may people notice mediocre DJs just really bad ones or really good ones (and there are [...]

DJ Groooooveriiiiider!!! is one of Britan’s top Drum & Bass DJs/producers and one of my favorite artists in the D&B field. While traveling in Dubai for a gig, he was arrested at the airline gates upon arrival and search allegedly reviled hard core porn DVDs and some cannabis in his record bag.

I saw a chic at Pioneer bar the other week DJing with her computer. Around here its starting to become the norm because who really wants to crate around 100 lbs of vinyl, but after further review, it wasn’t you’re typical iPod style DJ software. Something new to me (as I’m so out [...]
I have to say this was the first time to the WMCs, my 3rd to South Beach and this has to be the crazyist “conference” in the US. Parties were happening everywhere for a week straight: at hotels, pool patios, balconies, the beach, bars, lounges, and of course the clubs. There was no shortage [...]
