Legit nothing to do with weddings but I was thinking of this moment while changing the battery on one of my whips this morning. Then thought to myself….”now self, this would make a good lil blog post” so here we are, posting about random s**t to keep the Google Overlords happy.. GOOGLE’S NUMBER ONE PEOPLE!!!!
Lets cut to the chase on this one. I used to be apart of a crew that held down the legendary Bernies Distillery(R.I.P to Bernies) Hip Hop night. This showcase night existed long before I started to DJ but myself and my Biz partner at the time and life long homie still to this day were passed the torch to hold it down. Now anyone familiar with this spot know that absolute chaos that it was. From the regular crowd that hung out there to the asbestos all over the place, fights on almost a nightly basis. it was GREAT!!!! Legit could never get away with this stuff anymore… No joke I was on stage once and saw a dude getting dome at the bar… Not like in the bathroom or anything….. nope!!!! back leaning against the bar staring me right in the eyes as I looked up… It was a wild spot.
I tell you a story like that so I can close with the point of this whole thing. Dispite the rather unruley nature of the venue over about a month or two of my friend and I running it, I had a regular crowd of bettys that would come to see us and get down on the dance floor. The moment I knew is burned in my mind for like, I had Electric Relaxation on the left deck and mixed in mo money mo problems on the right. Now this may not seem like a show stopper now but that place lit up. Every other DJ slowly crept up on stage and just stood behind me taking notes for the rest of my set as I absolutely crushed the dance floor with classic hip hop.
It may not seem like much but that was the moment I knew I was gonna be a DJ for the rest of my life… and here we are almost 25 years later. Still loving every second of it!!!
