currently at the gig, it’s just dinner time atm so I’m just playing angus and julia stone and that sorta stuff. I’m videoing it so I can show you guys. it’s been a bit slow as I’ve been instructed to play entrance music till now, but I promise I’ll make it happen when dinners over. ---

Holy shit! last night was incredible, the only problem I faced was the kids were getting too into it. I did a bit of educating as well, played some lazy rich and DJ Antention. They got so into it that they knocked over my table TWICE! but they caught it thankgod! and they broke the wooden dance floor!!! got paid $100 for the best night of my life! and a shit load of “aww man that was awesome thankyou soo much!”. the stage I was on was only meant to be me but I had close to 20 kids jumping up and down with me. I occasionally pulled off the volume for a second when they started slowing down and screamed “Come OOONNNNNN!” to get them pumped again. I’m meant to be playing a formal after party soon with another DJ which will be sick! anyways thankyou DJTT for your help leading up to last night. (especially onimode for your help with mapping my apc 20). ---

Looks like a packed house mate. Well done. Everyone looks to be having a great time as well!! My only problem is that you need to tell the dudes in the 3rd and 4th pic to button their shirts up!! Pet hate of mine that!! 🙂 Good luck with the next one! ---
