  1. http://www.apotheosis.dj/media/index.html "Buffet" is the latest house blend. There's also a clip from a radio-show call-in to (then Mayor) Guliani about Twilo 2 weeks after it's Closure. as well as other material. enjoy.
  2. 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE XMAS and all through the club, Not a dance track was swirling, not even a dub; The DJs were laying their slipmats with care, In hopes the latest imports soon would be there; The chillun' were restless, all frutting with glee, With visions of open bars, drink tickets and ki-ki; And Kevin Aviance in stilettos, and Mother with her fan, Had just settled down with a vodka-and-cran. When out on the dance floor there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the lounge to see what was the matter. Up to the DJ booth I stormed like a bitch, Twisted the crossfader and readjusted the pitch. Liz Liguori was flashing her lights on the crowd, Illuminating the Red Bull cans covering the ground; When, what to my wondering ears should sound, But the boom of house music, and cheers all around; With a DJ in the booth shouting, "Do what I sez!" I knew in a moment it must be Junior Vasquez. More rapid than techno his fellows they came, And he grimaced, and shouted, and called them by name. "Now Danny! Now Victor! Now Peter and Frankie! On Tony, Chad, Steve, Miss Carroll and Manny! To the rise of the sun and bartenders' last call! Now give it to them! Spin it for them! Turn them out all!" Like Mitch Amtr@k's dear strobelights, and with just as much flash, Off to their parties and dance floors they dashed; To Crobar and Spirit and Roxy they flew, On to Avalon, Splash, Stonewall and Plaid nightclubs, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the speakers, Drums thumping and pumping, hi-hats on the tweeters-- As I sipped on my beer, the queens begging for more, In the line of my sight came Amanda Lepore; She was dressed in her best and struck such a pose, Security was baffled she got in with no clothes! Mizz Junya, meanwhile, was workin' it fierce As we gagged to his remix of the new Britney Spears; Up high in the booth, he danced and made merry, His spotlight shining down on some go-go boy fairy! His gruff little frown then turned up in a grin, And he winked as we trembled wond'ring what he would spin. Then with a twist of his arm, and a slickness so quick, He unleashed on the turntables--rippin' it sick! The dance floor shook hard to that booming house medley, To Beyonce, Vivian Green and--of course--Heather Headley. He was turning us out, without drama or shade, And I smiled when I saw him, in spite of my jade; A twirl of the bass knob and a push of the wax, Soon gave me to know it was time to relax; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his werk, Mixing a capellas, tribal, and that new track from Murk. Then donning his cap and Abercrombie coat, He played "Last Dance"--Donna Summer's old rote. He packed away his records and switched off the decks, And away he fast flew with a swiftness breakneck. But I heard him exclaim, ere he escaped from my sight: "Merry Christmas to all! And House Music all night!" Written by Gregory T. Angelo in the Dec 17 2004 issue of Next magazine

  5. I started 16 years ago as an apprentice/roadie. meaning I'd help out and stay side by side the "master" for nights on end. Altho you probably want to be a club DJ, I would suggest checking out "the other side" which is mobile to observe the differences bewteen the two and get a better response to the way people react to music. ie: YMCA can be a failure at the "wrong time" of any private event. Such with playing a "peak hour" track in the beginning of the night at a club.
  6. hey hey dont knock the hut tub! That right there is the soul existance of shows like ElimiDate! (best show ever)

    Attn. PVD

    I am no longer a Pvd fan, and as far as Edgar V the last time I saw them in Miami at Space I almost walked out. Edgar played the most monotous 3 hr set Ive ever heard in my life.
