Hotel Ballard Wedding

As a wedding DJ, you become a bit of a connoisseur of incredible wedding meals. I’ll tell you first-hand, there is no place, not one, better than Stoneburner in Ballard.  Now, I certainly realize the irony of gushing about the food at Hotel Ballard in a post...

Top 10 Albums of 2017

2017 was an incredible year for new music. There were so many new artists putting out music that I absolutely fell in love with along with old artists rising from the dead to once again remind us of their all-time greatness.  So here we go. In no particular order, I...

NatureBridge Wedding

Washington is a great state for those who love the outdoors and NatureBridge is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Washington’s mountains, forests and lakes, all in one spot!  NatureBridge is an outdoor education center nestled in the forest along the...

Beck – Colors

I am absolutely in love with this new Beck album. It feels weird to say that since I wasn’t a huge fan in high school when Mellow Gold was released.  The first song I heard off of this album was Up All Night, a pure dance floor banger. This sure isn’t the...

New Music from The National!

I sure do love that this statement is true: The National have new music out! The first release, Guilty Party, is everything that makes The National great.  Dark, brooding, beautiful. The full album, Sleep Well Beast is due out September 8th. I can’t wait to hear...

RIP Marcus Intalex

Man, I sure seem to be writing a lot of RIP posts lately. The loss of musical heroes was enormous last year, and they just keep coming!  Marcus Intalex is certainly much less known than many of the artists I wrote about last year. While he may not have the same name...

LCD Soundsystem is back!

I never thought I’d get to say this, but LCD Soundsystem is back! They’ve reunited and released two singles. Call the Police is a dance anthem that reminds me of how I felt when Sound of Silver first came out. I’ll be rocking this one all summer!...

Lake Washington Rowing Club Wedding

I’m a music nerd. Let’s just get that out in the open from the beginning. This immediately attracts me to other music nerds, and man, when I saw the request list for this wedding, I got really excited.  Everything started with cocktail and dinner music. In...

Homecoming Dance at Pacific Science Center

School dances offer a lot that make them fun to DJ. Big sound. Big lights. Big crowds. This homecoming dance at Pacific Science Center with 400 students and double my normal sound system covered all of the above! Pacific Science Center is one of my favorite venues for...
