dj gig






I'm very happy that I finally have my first true public dj gig, outside of party, opening for Kathy Diamond (live) and Maurice Fulton (who produced her album). I guess its a late start to have your first set in public at 29, but I'm glad I held out because I think starting off in some unattended club or bar years ago, playing to an empty crowd or having to play the same type of music all night would have gotten old real quick. Its truly an honor to be able to play anything that I choose, especially because my tastes are everywhere.

I'm playing at my friends club, Mono, which I have been hearing about from him for a few years now. They have been bringing people such as Idjut Boys, Todd Terje, Reverso 68, Yam Who etc. all parties I would have loved to go to. So when I finally heard that Kathy Diamond was going to perform live, I could not resist the opportunity to pay mono a visit. After saying I would love to come that weekend to see her, I was invited to open the night for her!!

I'm still jumping around with excitement at the opportunity and already picking out the songs. Yeh It is only opening but still, have to do it right.
