I DJed last night for White Pass High School Prom. Check out that Cha Cha Slide! I think everyone there was on the floor for that one.

R.I.P. Roc Raida

This weekend, another A-List DJ passed away. Roc Raida was not just any other DJ. He was a member of the X-men, who later changed their name to the Xecutioners for obvious copyright reasons.

He won battle after battle, culminating at the 1995 DMC World Championship. He was known for his beat-juggling and his tricks, like the one in the photo. Roc Raida was once featured on the show Saturday Night Live, being the only DJ to ever share the stage with the SNL House Band. Check out this video of Roc Raida from the 95 DMCs:




My condolences go out to his family, his crew, and his fans.

Scott & Alicia Mays' Wedding

This past Saturday, I DJ'ed a wedding and reception for Scott & Alicia Mays. It was a long, but very fun night. I spun music for most of 9 hours! I had a great time, and I picked up a few leads for some upcoming gigs.

You can find a few more photos in the 'Recent Gig Photos' slideshow in the column on the right.

There were about 100 people attending the ceremony, with (I am guessing) only about a third of those people attending the reception. I received some great compliments about my music selections, and there were a few requests for songs that I did not have, but overall people seemed pleased with the music. I was told by several friends who attended that they heard good comments about the music. Even so, quite a few people cut out early.

Those of us who did stay until the wee hours really partied hard. And we had a great time.

Congratulations to Scott, Alicia and family. I wish them a lifetime of happiness!
