I'm up tomorrow as guest DJ, I might not be able to post my set list for a few days so I will post it now. I'm sure Jessie will make the official anouncement tomorrow. You will notice about 5 slow blues songs. In Chicago slow blues is popular so I included them as songs that I would likely DJ if DJing in Chicago.
I look forward to hearing feedback both positive or negative, if you don't want to post publicy please shoot me an email or PM. I am especially interested in how you think the transitions between styles work. It's something I have been working on.
