beats 'n' pieces, breaks, funk 'n' soul, hip hop, odd pop, rock 'n' roll

We Shine By Night

back in the day my buddies Tony & Scott would throw these crazy parties. all were welcome insuring an interesting mix of characters. spinning at these shindigs became a crash course in party selecting; djs had to jump from genre to genre in a smooth, varied & fun way to keep the folks happy and bouncing or it could turn ugly. come join the party and get on down with your bad self.
