“Wake Up Everybody”
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes
The world won’t get no better if we just let it be.

Last Night A DJ Saved My Life

The most magical aspect of being a DJ is the ability to pull people out of a constricted state of mind into an altered state of just feeling the music and moving to the beat. Any DJ worth their salt wants whatever crowd they’re playing for to end the evening drenched in sweat and exhilarated.
The highest compliment you can receive? “I can’t remember ever dancing like that!”

You Can’t Play With My Yo-Yo

On my first trip from the East coast to LA in 1990, fate kissed me on the forehead at the car rental desk. I was assigned a convertible with a booming sound system instead of the super discount subcompact paid for by my company. After immediately noticing the golden sun tone that rests on everything in Southern California, and the palm trees, what caught my attention was the different sound of West coast hip hop.

Move Your Body
Marshall Jefferson
One of those songs I crave from time to time.
Just do what Marshall says and you’ll feel better.

Passin’ Me By
The Pharcyde
If you love early hip hop and are of a certain age, you’ll remember The Box. I went through a phase where I ordered up this song every night for a couple of weeks. Of course it took hours for them to play it so I didn’t get much sleep during that time.
It was worth it.

I’ll Always Love my Momma
The Intruders
For my mom, Dee.
Thank you.

Break 4 Love

Raze
For some who are older it may be Motown or the Beach Boys. For some who are younger it may be East Coast/West Coast hip hop, Boy Bands and Pop.
For me, it’s House Music. As they say, “You park your car in the garage. House is where you live.”
