BACK TO THE DJ!!!

So after this month's Skratch Lounge, I started to think how we are really starting to rebuild a community and make a difference for the DJ's out here in the NW. I woke up Saturday morning thinking, "what else do DJ's rarely have the freedom to do in today's fractured scene?" Well, the answer is, "play whatever the hell we want while still drawing a crowd strictly based on the DJ and the music - no promoters, no requests, no bullshit". With all the wack DJ's today getting gigs, it's difficult for any true school DJ to even have the freedom to play what they want, especially if that's the main source of income. What a better way to revive the fun in DJing than to get a group of seasoned DJ's to throw down their own sets and get the spotlight for the night? I called up some of the homies to get a feel...well, the least to say, I had a line-up in a matter of 20 minutes. A few more days and the idea turned into reality. Big ups to all the DJ's who are down with this night, 100Proof for the genius flyer design, Fever One for the print hook-up and non-stop hustle, and the famous Sonny Bonoho for hosting. You guys made the night - not me, not Groove Technicians, not promoters - the DJ's. Let's make July 23rd, Friday absolutely EPIC:
