80's party in Atlantic City, October 17th

Just got booked for this one! The picture says it all, but if you can't see what it says ... I will be playing 80's (and of course mixing/mashing up current stuff in there too) @ RollPlay Lounge in Atlantic City on October 17th.

RollPlay Lounge is an erotic couples lounge, and is a very cool/very modern club. I've never DJed in that type of club before, so it should be interesting! Always looking to play for new crowds.

For more information, I encourage you to check out their website at http://www.rollplaylounge.com

This is going to be a hot party!

New season, new party spots!

I just found out that I will be doing the Broad Axe Tavern in Ambler, PA one Saturday night per month. My first night there will be October 10th.

I also have a few other spots that I am working on. Stay tuned! :-)

The Podcast and other fun stuff

Hey, so I just got a notice from the podcast hosting company that you can now easily access the podcast from your mobile device/phone by going to http://m.podbean.com/ and use the keyword "ski". My podcast should be the first one listed in the search results.

I will have a few new episodes up there in the next few days (pieces of the club 9 mix).

Also, it looks like I have a few open Fridays/Saturdays in my schedule (so far) for October and November. If I don't get booked for those dates, I might set up my DJ gear in my basement ("The Boom Boom Room") and broadcast/record a few live sets.

I've been trying to do that for like a year or two now, and always just seem to be too busy to do it (I had a sponsorship through Yahoo 2 years ago to do video streaming that I never capitalized on).

The new service that I will be using records and archives the broadcast, so it's kind of cool.

Summer's over :-(

I'm duh-raggging it this morning! Long weekend of DJing to close out the summer at Bikini Beach.

Friday night I was scheduled to DJ at Bikini Beach bar, and I was excited for my last Friday night there for the summer ... but the weather was bad, it rained all night and I was cancelled. So, I took the opportunity to catch up on some rest. Especially since I worked the night before at FAT PETE'S with my friend Nikki. If you go out to the bars in NorthEast Philly and have never met Nikki, she's awesome and truly is one of the best bartenders I have ever worked around.

Saturday night at Blue Martini in Atlantic City was cool. It was a long DJ shift (7pm - 3am) but it was fun. I had dancers on the stage with me from 11pm-2am, so it was cool being able to share the stage with them. I tried to take pics, but they came out dark. lol. When I am there on Friday nights, there are no dancers with me onstage-- so of course I was loving it. lol.

Sunday was the last Recovery Sunday for the summer. We had a great summer down there, and I am going to miss all of the people that I worked with -- all of the air staff from Wired (KANNON, you are the man ... thanks for everything), the crew from Wired 96.5 (STEVE and the street teamers are too cool), the sound techs (Tim, Chris, Ed) the waitresses (the nicest/hottest on the beach!), bartenders, security people (especially Sandy and Angel), and of course my co-host for the season JACKIE BLAZE (gonna miss working with you girl! All of the crazy talks, etc. Hope to work together again sometime)

There's some plans coming for the fall about taking the RECOVERY party indoors, so I will keep you posted. New venue, new co-host ... gonna be hot!

The slideshow of some of my favorite pics from the summer down @ Bikini Beach Bar for Recovery Sundays is at the top of this post. I hope to be back there next summer to do it all again.

This week's schedule:

Friday: Blue Martini (10p - 2a)
Saturday: Fireside (10p - 2a)

Labor Day Weekend wrap-up

[ Note: As of 9/25/09 the Thursday nights at Fat Pete's are no longer happening ... It was fun while it lasted. lol. :-) ]

I am just NOW starting to feel "normal" from the weekend ... or as close to it as I get. lol. It was a busy weekend!

Thursday I started out not actually DJing, but hanging out at FAT PETE'S (6171 Torresdale Ave, Philadelphia). Mostly to check the place out since I will be starting to DJ there 2 Thursdays per month starting this week (9/10/09). NIKKI was behind the bar, and she has a way of keeping you at the bar for longer than you anticipated. lol. She's a cool person, and a very good bartender. Oh, and did I mention that she is gorgeous? A triple threat. lol.

Thursday Nights are "Freestyle Thursdays" at Fat Pete's. So, come out and hang in a laid back place and listen to some freestyle. Of course, I will also be mixing in other old school club stuff, and some newer stuff ... you know how I do it, I keep it fun. It will be a cool night. If you like freestyle, come out and I will play what you want to hear -- the club classics, the mixtape favorites, the underground stuff ... I have it all.

Plus, Nikki will be keeping the drinks coming ... $2 Miller Lite from 9p-11p and $2 mixed drinks from 9p-11p. The music starts @ 9pm and we go til 2am. No cover.

Friday night I was at Blue Martini (inside Bally's, Atlantic City). Average night, maybe a little slower than usual ... which was odd considering that it was Labor Day Weekend.

Saturday night I was at Fireside (Ambler, PA). Crazy night there. lol. Another fun one. Love that place. I was super amped up on Red Bull and a 5 hour Energy shot. Fun stuff.

Sunday was a lonnnnng day. I started @ Bikini Beach Bar, and it was overcast. The crowd was a little smaller than usual, and they took a while to warm-up ... but after 3:30 or so, the party got started and we had a good time there. I played until about 6:30 pm and then Fuzzy Bunny Slippers started playing.

After that, I packed up my gear and headed to Luna in Wildwood, NJ. It was my first time there, and the place is really nice. I played there until 3 am. Toward the end of the night, one of the security guys came up to me and said that it was the best Sunday that they had all summer. I've been wanting to work in Wildwood for awhile now, so who knows? Maybe I will get more work down there next summer. I'm also working on lining some stuff up for Sea Isle next summer.

Needless to say, Monday was a total recovery day for me. I got home at 6am, and stayed in bed til about 3 in the afternoon! At about 8pm I started to feel OK again.

This week is another busy one. I have to finish up a project for another dance artist, work on Jonelle's show tape for the upcoming Tazmania CD release party (at Adelphia, Deptford NJ) coming in October, and then do some remixes of music to play this weekend at the spots that I am working.

It's the last week for Bikini Beach Bar's season, so I will be trying to take as many pics as I can. I hope that the weather is good. lol.

Here's the schedule:

THURSDAY: Fat Pete's (Philadelphia), 9p-2a
FRIDAY: Bikini Beach (Atlantic City), 11p-2a
SATURDAY: Blue Martini (Atlantic City), 7p-11p
SUNDAY: Bikini Beach (Atlantic City), noon-6pm
