Getting down…
Well 2008 is coming to a close very soon and I have been away from blogging for over a year. I thought it time to come back and let you all know what is happening with me musically and just in general in the mayhem that is my life.
Last night I took to the decks at Social Club once again. The past two weeks Lee Decker has been away and I have played all night, however, both weeks I was not 100% happy with my mixing. Last night, since Lee was back, I played the opening set from 9pm till midnight and I feel I played much better than the previous weeks.
The space was fairly quiet for the first hour, and it looked like it might remain that way throughout the night. With two other big events happening in the city, I was greatly surprized when at 10:30 the crowd suddenly swelled and Social Club once again became the place to be that Saturday night. Nothing gets me going behind the decks than a packed room and last night was no exception. I have been downloading and searching for music like crazy and so mixed some old classics with some great new tunes, including one of my current favourites ‘ Magic Touch’ by featuring the delectable Mary J Blige and ‘Up’ by The Saturdays (also see discussion board at DJ Luke Fry’s Facebook Page for more about this track).
The bar was jam packed and stayed that way all night. Lee came and took over at midnight and continued to pump the music into the space with some great music and mixing. Including the great classic Everyday by Kim English, bringing back great memories of Dan Murphy’s dance routine, especially no need to look behind me, (replace need with knee and the rest is obvious!)
Before Social Club I had attended Jason G and Ivan Cano’s holiday party at their apartment and around 11:30 some of the revelers from there came by, so when I finished we got to catch up about what had happened at the party after I had left. All in all it was a fabulous and fun evening and Social Club has really blossomed from it’s start in April this year and holds it’s own against other gay Saturday night events in San Francisco.
Today I am resting up, waiting for Tony to return from KFC, yum, and then this afternoon we are going to Tony’s nephew’s 2nd birthday party. Will have more on that later…
