quote of the night:
“…and i’m from new york, so i know. you’re a good dj, man. and yo, i’m even taking off my sunglasses to tell you this.”

thank you, out of town sunglasses dude. thank you.

so i’ve been slacking on the dj journal entries.

after i broke my ankle in march, all my dj gigs went on hold, along with… well, pretty much everything. capoeira practice. walking to my mailbox. getting a glass of water from the kitchen. it was a serious bummer. but after being cleared by my doctor, i returned to my dj schedule in june.

i was super rusty. initially, i told myself i’d use the involuntary downtime cooped up in my apartment to work on mixes. but the reality of being on crutches and the subsequent difficulty in just maneuvering around my place made that problematic. i never realized how much i move around when i’m spinning. or how much my apartment can be like an obstacle course of clutter and vinyl.

but i’m back in full force now. i’ve resumed my post at my two weeklies. and i’m accepting gigs that strike my fancy.

so i really have no excuse not to be actively documenting my dj adventures.

speaking of, i’m about to head out to Mohawk for a short and sweet Right On happy hour. and i have a private party on saturday for AICN Studios, and then Volstead reggae night on sunday. so it’ll be a full weekend of vinyl hijinks.

ready, go.
