Although the last wedding I DJed was in November (video below), I’ve still managed to remain busy DJing over these bitterly cold Winter months.

In December, I visited my good friends at Vermillion High School and DJed their Winter Formal for the 6th straight year, and in January, I made the trip down to Yankton to DJ the Winter Formal at Mount Marty College.

And in February I DJed the Winter Formal at one of my favorite high schools, West Central in Hartford.

I’ve also been doing a lot of DJing at some local nightspots like the 18th Amendent, the Liebrary, and Woody’s. I actually have my very own “Throwback Night” at Woody’s every Friday night where I play only pre-2000 music (mostly 90s). I’ve created an event calendar for this blog and posted it on the right side of the page if you’re every interested in coming out and saying hi.

Here’s a little sample of some of the stuff I play during the “Throwback Night” at Woody’s (CAUTION, SINCE THIS IS A BAR SETTING AND NOT A WEDDING, THERE ARE EXPLICIT LYRICS)

Next up it’s Prom season!

A lot of us “vinyl” DJs now use Serato (computer program) to manage all of our music. Although it may look like we are “cheating” since we have a laptop in our face, we actually are mixing the music with the vinyl on the turntables.

Just for fun, over the holiday weekend, I did a little mix using all real vinyl. Hope you like it.

I had a great time DJ’ing the Menno High School Prom this last weekend. It was my first time DJ’ing in Menno, and everything went great……..except for the SNOW! Even though Menno is only 60 miles from Sioux Falls, I couldn’t make it home after the dance Saturday night. I had to drive 15 miles per hour to Freeman and stayed in a Motel there.

Anyway, here’s some footage of the snow and dance. Below the video are a couple of links. One is to view the playlist from the night, and the other is to listen to the audio from the entire night (recorded live.)
