dj moments+

best moment as a dj:
The fist time I played alongside my favorite and most inspiring dj, my pops dj chico

worst moment as a dj:
Taking a check as compensation for the first time only to have that shit bounce and get the run around for like 3 months before the club mgmt would cash it.

most embarrising moment as a dj:
arriving at the club ready to rock only to realize i didn't have the headphone adapter, I must have ran to like 5 other venues in the neighborhood to see if any dj had an extra. No such luck. I played entire night with no headphones. Luckily I still have good hearing. If you play a record with the speakers muted put your ear to the turntable you can hear the music very faintly. Obviously i couldn't mute the speakers but the venue didn't have a working speaker in the booth anyway and i was familiar enough with the music that i could still mix good enough to get by. The smallest piece of equipment but a major one.

best party moment:
There are some many great party moments that come to mind but the most memorable would have to be my first trip to London. It was my first time on foreign soil, and having the opportunity to play music I love, and the love I recieved in return was amazing and inspiring to say the least. I was their for 4 days and played at 4 events. Would have been 5 if I hadn't got lost. Truly amazing experience.

a few deejay's i check for when i'm not on the set.
