Throwback Thursdays: Trick Daddy

On Sunday I rocked another widly successful Hit It Run old school party with DJ Belly. Easily my favorite DJ event of the year. After things get rowdy we always cut it down to 70 bpm and throw on some classics like this. Dig.

Throwback Thursdays: Hit It Run

It's that time again. Sunday is Hit It Run at the Cowboy Monkey - the bi-annual holiday old school party. Founder DJ Kosmo will be joining us for the first time in 2 years (he handed me this series when his Red Bull gig put him out on the road). Also, DJ Delayney will be on the decks. Forecast calls for a good time. See you there.

 

Real Talk Tuesdays: The IDEAL DJs

This weekend I played the bi-annual Hit It Run old school party at the Cowboy Monkey. A tradition that spans over a decade. We had a last minute cancellation in the lineup so we reached out to The IDEAL DJs (Wesjile and Kow). They were not only excited to be on the bill, they brought the goodness with them. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out. It's always refreshing to see passionate cats out there doin' it.

Feel Good Fridays: HIT IT RUN ~ Halloween Edition

This Saturday I hit the stage along with Kosmo, Delayney and Belly for the party of the year. It's Halloween weekend. It's Homecoming weekend. It's Hit it Run. Dig.

 

 

Throwback Thursdays: Hit It Run

The biggest party in C-U is about to come back around. On Sunday, May 27 myself, DJ Delayney and DJ Belly will throwdown with a 4 hour set of old school hip-hop, funk, soul & reggae. Founded by DJ Kosmo a decade ago, Hit It Run has become a staple for those looking to cut loose on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Come on out. It's gonna get stanky.
