I love Madeleine Peyroux!!!! I have had her albums for a few months now, and I have played her music at some of my dances. I am pretty fond of Dance Me To The End Of Love. It gets a good response on the floor.

DJ Playlists

I haven't made it out of Utah much lately, so I haven't been able to hear what everyone is playing across the country. I was wondering if anybody was keeping playlists that they might like to post on here so I don't get stale with my sets. Thanks!

On another note, do you get flack from other djs in your scene about djing off of a laptop? I have taken some because they say I am not "putting on a show." No, most DJs in my scene ask me a lot of questions and are interested in swithing over. We are 1/3rd laptop DJ in my scene, several ...

I have been djing off of my laptop for over a year and a half now. I really like it because I can tag all of my songs so I know which ones are good and can also make comments on how many people dance to it/enjoy it. I use BPM Studio, which is great because people always ask me about "that song...

My first set was almost three years ago now, but I do remember it was received with great enthusiasm. People in Utah had heard the same crap over and over again since about 1997, and I couldn't take it anymore. It got to the point where I could tell the person I was dancing with what the next song w...

I was DJing my buddy's wedding and they asked for "My Romance" by Kevin Mohagany, not really swingin', but good for a first dance by the bride and the groom. I had it all cued up, when some kid unplugged the cord by accident (without me knowing). When he plugged it back in it went to track...
