Yes, I must admit that it is an odd location, but it's not too far in the middle of nowhere (like Fun, for example). Just doesn't get a lot of foot traffic, unfortunately. Honestly could not tell you what time it gets jumping. It's our first Wednesday there, and Wednesday is always an odd night of the week to try to pull partiers. I imagine that it will take quite a bit of time to build up this night, but hopefully word will get around about the good tunes and the beautiful space. It's quite large for a lounge, in my opinion, and a lot nicer looking than most. Hope to see you tonight! --David

hee hee...sorry, couldn't resist

Wow...I thought you were talking about acid... David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

Pete-- You forgot to mention mixing on BELT-DRIVEN turntables--that's got to be the worst. And I'll let all aspiring DJs in on a little secret: Get yourself a tube of De-Oxit--it will fix contact problems between your needles and the shitty, dirty turntables that most clubs have. (Don't lick your contacts--that's what oxidizes them in the first place!) --David

My parties usually get pretty trancey at around 1 or 2 AM, especially if I'm on the decks. Visit www.headrushmusic.com for more info. We've been trying desperately to get an all-trance night started on Thursday, but it's tough. Most clubs don't want music that is perceived as drawing only drug users (cause clubs make money off booze). Peace, David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

Yeah, I definitely want to make it. I haven't been to your parties in a while. Hopefully, we won't hurt each other by having Hiro back to back. I didn't realize he was spinning for you until after I booked him. Heck, I say the more Hiro, the merrier! --David

Whaddup, Craigh: I've gotten pretty blasted on it. There used to be this great website, www.mindcandy.net, that sold that and legal ecstasy (which was like an acid trip condensed into 4 hours--brilliant). Looks like they got shut down, of course. Wish I had stocked up--the pills were like $2.50 each!!! Regarding salvia, I think the best way to get it is in crystal form. Otherwise, you have to smoke way too many leaves to get the desired effect. Looking forward to shoodbgood next Friday! peace, David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

It took over two years of spinning in my bedroom before I felt confident enough to spin out at a club (or a bar, for that matter). I do agree that, despite one's need to get real-world experience, he or she should keep it in the bedroom until his/her skills are adequate before deciding to go pro (hmmm...am I describing DJs or prostitutes? ). If you're going to play out as a professional, you should be capable of providing a professional-quality performance--people are paying good money to hear you, and if you go out when you're not ready, you're only hurting your potential of getting booked in the future. Good DJs are artists--a good artist takes the time to perfect his/her craft to the best of his/her ability before presenting it to the world. I do get annoyed with DJs like Paul Sevigny who can't mix a lick but get crowds based solely on their name. But perhaps that more a reflection on their audiences than on the DJs themselves. So, for DJs who are still toiling away in the bedroom, keep on practicing! Believe me, I still have to practice my ass off constantly to keep my skills sharp and evolving. And, yes, I do fuck up a mix now and then. If you can get an opening slot at a small, quiet venue, then by all means, go for it--the experience is invaluable (it took me a lot of gigs before I stopped getting incredibly nervous before spinning). But, out of respect for the audience and other DJs, do not spin out at a major venue if you're not ready to provide a fairly solid performance. The DJs who have come before you worked very hard to get to where they are--don't give the profession a bad name by coming out with less than 100%. Peace, David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

The bouncer who works my party at W8TH told me about the best place to get them, but I forgot. I'll try to find out for you. He also said that he can spot the Times Square IDs with no problem. Mind you, this guy is probably the best fake ID spotter in NYC... Peace, David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

Yeah, I have a friend who bought all the equipment and started spinning just because my friends and I do. But I don't want to be an elitist and tell people that they can't start spinning now because everyone else is doing it; after all, when I started spinning, I was probably perceived by others as another punk who's trying to ride the wave. I look at turntables as the electric guitar of the 21st century. Everyone used to want to be a rock star, now kids want to be DJs. Nothing wrong with that. The cream will rise to the top, and the people who lack true commitment and passion will eventually burn out. But, yes, it is interesting to see how this underground craft has become very popularized and mainstream. peace, David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com

Thanks! I'll be 25...does that make me an old man on this board? --DC

Hiro is a fairly common Japanese name. He's part of the Con-fu-sion crew that throws parties in NYC. He's probably one of the bigger local DJs in NYC, spinning all over the world from L.A. to Lebanon! --DC

It's my unofficial b-day jam this Saturday! Can David spin drunk?

Then, Shuga, you'll definitely have to come out to my b-day party on August 4 with HIRO of con-fu-sion!!! I'll post more info on the board next week. This weekend, we're doing more a housey thing at China White. Though, when you throw me into the tag-team mix, you can be sure that some progressive shite will be dropped. --DC

Does that mean that I need to repost my events as public events in order for people to see them? --DC

AIMSTER!!!!!

Thanks, sweetie! I'm coming around the bend towards 30! When am I going to meet you? --David Christopher www.headrushmusic.com
