I had the pleasure of attending a Steve Aoki show last night at Necto Nightclub, my weekly Thurs/Saturday night residency. Aoki put on a great show as expected and I was able to capture a few clips:

I highly recommend going to one of his shows if you ever get a chance. Lots of energy, crowd-participation and some exclusive music you won’t hear anywhere else!

Here’s another 1-hour mix from the last hour of my set at Necto’s Frequency Saturday on August 28, 2010. It’s high-energy, fun and spans a bunch of different genres. Download it, listen to it and pass it on to a friend!

I have had a TON of requests to upload a new mix the last few weeks! However, I have been extremely busy with a lot of shows and other things in life.  But I was finally able to record a live set this past Saturday at Necto Nightclub during our Throwback Party. It’s a mix of older party hits mixed along with some of the biggest hits of today. As we do every single weekend, the club was packed with a great crowd that was ready to get wild…and they did. Check out the mix and listen for yourself!

This song is beginning to get played out but I’m still getting a good response from my crowds. Had to switch it up a little from other versions I had been playing:

Funk The Bedrock

This is a relaxing nu-disco jam by the French Horn Rebellion. Perfect summertime song! I made a simple DJ-friendly edit:

Beaches And Friends

The original beat is very dry – all drums, no synths – so I decided to spice it up a little bit. Here’s what I came up with:

Teach Me How To Dougie (DJ Hardy Remix)

And just for laughs, this awesome video:

I’ve been the Friday night resident DJ at The Hills Bar & Grille in Rochester Hills, MI since they opened doors for business back in 2007. It’s a great upscale venue that caters to a nice group of clientele with some great dishes and a variety of beverages on their menu until 2 AM. Having said all that, here’s a short 30 minute mix that gives you a sample of what you can expect to hear there:

Live At The Hills – Part 1 (Uptempo Dance + Classics)

And with last night being the first anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, I decided to close out the night with a little tribute set. This includes some of my favorite MJ songs and was done spontaneously with any pre-planning involved:

Michael Jackson Tribute Megamix

Hope to see some of you on a Friday night in Rochester Hills!

Here it is, this year’s version of my annual Frequency mix! I started doing this mix-CD for my Saturday night residency at Necto nightclub in 2007. My good friend and former resident at Necto, DJ Binzo, also released a couple of these CDs before he moved on to bigger and better things. Over 600 copies of this CDs are distributed for free each year, as a “thank you” to our regular patrons who have made Frequency Saturdays such a monumental success.

For more than five years, we have been sold out and packed every Saturday night. And that is quite a feat! We are a relatively big nightclub in a college town that loses thousands of students every summer when they return to their hometowns. We are located in a state where the winters are brutally cold and you can’t escape snow between mid-November and April. The unemployment rate is over 15%, which tops the nation. Despite all these factors, we have the most loyal and amazing group of people who have kept this night going strong, and the end is nowhere in sight. I have to also say thanks for the hard work and support to the staff at Necto – club’s owners, managers, bartenders, bar-backs, doormen and the maintenance staff – for making it such a great place to work!

Having said all that, here is the link to the mix (right-click on the picture to save the mp3 to your desktop):

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend and all my local friends have gotten a chance to visit DEMF.

I’d like to share a mix I did last summer for a local gym. It’s mostly house music with some mainstream dance tracks squeezed in occasionally.

To all those who served + all those who lost loved ones serving, thank you for your sacrifice.
