Last night, the Phonographerz (that's Baby Cee, Cozmos, Dave 1, and myself) played at Helios. Big ups to Cee Plus and Samplistik for having us out there. It was fun; we tag teamed on four turntables and two mixers. My cutting is getting better, plus it helps that the music was so bloody loud that no one could really tell what the hell I was doing. And of course, inevitably half the crowd found their way behind the decks and we had a hell of a lot of guest DJs cutting for a couple of minutes each. My only complaint is that Samplistik is too tall - his setup was the one we ended up cutting on, and it was really uncomfortable to be doing crabs with my wrist higher than my navel. I'm excited, though, because everyone seemed to have a really good time, and we're learning each other's idiosyncrasies. I'm also excited to be opening for the Triple Threat DJs on the 26th at Fat Cat's.
I was somewhat surprised that a good chunk of my friends managed to make it out to the show - we didn't start until midnight. It was a good turnout, though, and amazingly enough, Debbi managed to convince some of her trendy B-school friends to come out to Helios. Mondro was good enough to come out and support. We're really going to have to start dj-ing together... six turntables. That'll be hella crazy.
For those of you who might actually have been waiting, here's the mp3 of the last show. I didn't manage to get last night's performance recorded. Next time.
