DJ Chil at Express Cottonwood!

I will be playing at the Grand (re)opening of the new Cottonwood Express store on Saturday, April 19th. They have decided to combine the men’s and women’s stores into the same location and are celebrating with this grand (re)opening on Saturday. Come on over and do some shopping. It should be a good time. My friend Erik is the manager over there and he has been kind and open minded enough to kick this thing off with a DJ. It should drive in traffic and prove to be a pretty good advertising opportunity for me as well. Come check it out! Saturday, April 19th from noon until five.

Girl Talk

As a DJ, you naturally attract certain things into your life. One of them is Vinyl. Right now I gotta say thanks to my boy Anthony Jackson for the hook-up from Jive Records.

Another thing you attract is constant concert talk. As people are coming into town, you constantly get asked if you are going to the latest show or know anything about it. To my peril, I keep getting asked about Girl Talk. Who is girl talk? If you don’t know, check out his wikipedia entry HERE.

Girl Talk has become famous for his insane mashups. In a single track, he is known to sample up to 30 different artists. No artist typically plays for more than 8 seconds or so. I’ve you’ve heard his work, you know it’s absolutely genius. What’s even better, is that when he “performs” in concert, he does nothing more than play his mash-ups right off of his notebook computer. Amazing.

So why is it so perilous that I keep hearing about Girl Talk? Because he is playing for FREE this Saturday right here on UNM’s Campus. Why is this bad? Because I will be playing all day for FREE at the Grand Opening of the new Express store in Cottonwood mall. Oh well. Pitty, pitty me.

KXX Night Club

Played a set at KXX night club at Route 66 Casiono last thursday night for ladies night. I went on at 8:00 and played till about 9:30, before DJ Quico went on. Had a great time. DJ Quico took over for the rest of the night and we kicked it.

Came back on Saturday night and opened up at 10:00. Had a great time with the crowd! Gotta give it to the band “The Mixx” for getting everybody on the dance floor before hand. I believe I opened up with the Brand New “4 Minutes” By Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Was just slightly a little to new for the crowd, but still they stayed on the floor and kept it live for the whole first 45 Minutes. Quico took it over from there. I couldn’t have had more fun.

Played the New Ying Yang Twins Drop Track and got a killer response. That song is blowing up right now.
