This is a live board-recording of an all vinyl DJ Set from Thanksgiving Brown (pka Peter Agoston). The performance was done in one take with very little prep in front of a full house at the music venue Brooklyn Bowl on Tues, Jan 12th 2016 from exactly 8:30 to 9:30PM, opening up for RJD2. There are moments of pure delight as well as a couple of train wrecks and needle pops. This is not perfect by any means but it exists and I thought I'd share it. Especially because it was done in a room full of friends and strangers dancing and enjoying themselves. People were bowling, eating fried chicken, getting drunk as I prepared them for the headliner. I've never been the kind of DJ with an obsession on set-preparation, in later years I'd just grab and go (but that attitude has back-fired on me a few times!) Some folks spend days meticulously gathering records and fine tuning a pre-meditated set. I always found that kind of futile in the moment and noticed audiences reacted better to a DJ who was clearly thinking of their feet, making quick yet cool decisions. DJ's that would look up and make eye contact with the crowd, crack a smile, nod to a stranger. It's not that I'm taking requests but I'm also not icing out the crowd. You'll notice I'm not talking on the mic except to thank them at the end. They don't know me, I'm hear to throw joints at them. I arrived to the club solo, was on stage solo, hung out solo and bounced. My approach to this set was to play records that could universally appeal to just about *anyone (*this crowd wasn't a record-nerd audience whispering to each other about rare records, they were like college kids and couples and people that liked the Mad Men theme) .... and that a production-minded artist like RJD2 would appreciate. A proper warm-up with nothing too obscure or adventurous just feel good music. In DJing my comfort zone is a tight hour or so opening up for a bigger act on a bigger stage, I don't really need a 6 hour set in a tiny spot (although I can do that). Playing joint for joint and keeping it moving is my M.O.. I like getting busy, grabbing a drink. giving out some pounds and hugs, grabbing my always modest payment and disappearing into the night. Gonna go ahead an apologize for any SKIPS on the vinyl here, or any volume issues - this is an unmastered recording from the front of house board by the sound person with me DJing on music venue turntables using all Wax (which as we know can be unpredictable). It got that house-party whip appeal. Listening suggestion would be plugging your devise into home stereo and turning it up a bit or use headphones. I hope one day to create a new mix for my podcast.
