The night started and people started rolling in, I always love the early part of the night when the "mingle" is occurring, the early start time keeps it different then any other event which I always thought was a must have, people need to mingle, it's a community event, we'll party, we'll dance, we'll rock the f out.
Zeina did an excellent job in her Debute @ footy, some technical difficulties with the equipment occurred but hey, this is the business. Good work Z.
Cam Maxwell played next, now mind you, musically, I really wasn't able to focus on beats, but from what I heard... it was SICK...
Birthday CAKE tradition continued with Cara, Tristan, Lee (Osborne) and Tamara (who unfortunately got sick) all getting the D2DB honour.. that originally started with dimitri and the lovely Miss K. I think it's a vital part of D2DB, something that will continue... cakes at parties seems like a no brainer to me!
There is a picture of Tristan that Milena took that is worth about 100,459 words.
LINE of the NIGHT goes to Rachel Finan: I got fifty dollars in ME bag...
So sick.... lol, god bless the english!
I took a little time to watch Lee Osborne as he's one of my favorites and don't get a chance to hear him often, stood on the stage, the platform and watched incognito to the crowd. Lee was the first to get four cakes baked by the lovely Chantal B.
Val, you can tell was a man possessed. You can tell the D2DB means as much to him as it does me, he played with his heart and soul and he rolled over cancer that night with beats that were uberly disgusting, also setting up Paco Osuna for a HEAVY set.
That, that he did...
Paco was fucking phenomenal, I was blown away by his layering, his sick ass drops, his absolute carnage in the world of techno... Paco Osuna was on fire.
Actually, as YM-Roaches were coming on behind Paco... I actually whispered in Paco's ear, you were worth every fucking penny, next time, charge me more. The gracious Osuna thanked me for booking him and letting him be a part of it. It wasn't the first time an international was blown away by Dance 2 Da Beat, which in itself is a huge compliment.
I threw on my "Barato - 99 leaf jersey"
(the story behind that, I HATE the leafs, but LOVE NaNa... and why 99? Well, Nathan IS the great one.)
-=oh, BTW ... Nathan had the biggest donation at D2DB, NaNa won a NaNo.-=
Playing the Electric Violin (Justin Chung) was something I thought was SUCH a cool moment, Justin did a fucking sick job self teaching him a track I play. I thank Justin for volunteering his services... and using his skills to play into my style.
I was STOKED to play "Music is the Answer" mashed with Pjanoo all week, was basically singing it all week. I'm a "moments" dj, Nathan described it to me, I play for the "moments" that was definitely one of my favorite moments playing... EVER
SICK job by Roaches and my YM crew... BIG UPS... we didn't get to do it on the boat but was sooooo worth the wait playing with Carlo and Nathan. Absolutely amazing DJs, even better people... and even better friends.
Thanks to everyone, I enjoyed it. We'll hopefully see you all at D2DB6... I'm thinking mid spring... we'll see how bad people start asking and pushing for it
Kuddos to The Dragon, Scott Schilling playing a SICKKKKK drum.
Also, all the YM ladies... FUCKING awesome moment dancing on the speakahs... absolutely wicked shots... wicked to see you vibing the beats... thanks to everyone who gave us the energy to do what we love...
you push us, we push you... we push together.
<3
