Friday night I played the office holiday party and a friend’s thirtieth birthday party with Captain Kronik (Jason), another DJ I work with who has opened for Chew Fu before and still rocks 100% vinyl. I’ve only turned up a handful of pictures from the holiday party that ran from 6:30 to 11:00, but I’m working on finding pictures from the party that ran from 12:00 to 4:00 immediately following the holiday party. Direct your eyes below.
This is how I look when I put on my headphones while staring at my Serato library. I look like I’ve never put headphones on my head before.
Sound test time. Have to make sure everything sounds good before the real thing starts. Although not even the initial testing saved us from from the massive microphone feedback someone caught later in the night when they cut the music to run the raffle.
Still technically not party time, but some people actually arrive to a party on time. These are those brave few. Not only have they arrived, they’re enjoying some pre-game tunes Jason. Also, take note of the mono setup. Am I too lazy to carry the second speaker? For such a small venue, yes.
I had everyone out on the floor later in the night, but there aren’t any pictures from that. Video exists, but I’m not exactly sure if they all would be cool with me putting that out in the open. If it shows up on Facebook without a fuss then I’m going to cross-post it here.
Playing with Jason was great, we had all the technology bases covered: Vinyl, CD, MP3. We had music blaring all night long with only minimal equipment damage (one of Jason’s turntable covers got stepped on and a small piece snapped off of one of the sides) and, surprisingly, without too many drunk people wanting to attempt to scratch and with no drunk people spilling any alcohol near or on the gear. The less my gear smells of old, dry alcohol the better.
Hey you! December 28th the Granada Theater has got Neon Indian, Ishi, Fizzy Dino Pop, and Yeahdef. It only costs $10 to stand in their presence or $14 to sit (or stand on your chair). Get out there to celebrate the end of the holidays and to pre-party for new year’s. As has been the norm lately I’ll hit you with some good tunes below.
Neon Indian [MySpace] – Listen to the remix work by Neon Indian and then get the urge to buy tickets to the show. If that doesn’t push you far enough to part with $10 then just go back a little and find the work of Fizzy Dino Pop. If that still doesn’t make you go then something is wrong with you. Download the track.

Shirobon [MySpace] – This guy followed me on twitter and I loved his music. I dug up a free track that he had out this time last year to give you guys something to listen to. Much newer stuff is up on his MySpace so be sure to check that as well. Download the track.
