2x4's Holiday Night Away

Friday night at West Loop Studio. Ok, imagine two deejays loading gear into a cool, vintage, old, freight elevator and heading up to the 4th floor and into a loft/studio space on Chicago's West Loop neighborhood. Deejay Tim Musho and myself spun, what I would call, the most eclectic, far out, and outrageously, awesome set of music. Gnarls Barkley's "Gone Daddy Gone" into Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone" and back into Gnarls Barkley's "Gone Daddy Gone." It was sickly cool, and totally worked. The gig was a holiday party for Two by Four, an ad agency in Chicago. One of their clients are the Chicago White Sox.


We also played various 80's tracks, 60's soul, and 90's R&B (Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison"). Tim and I double teamed, alternating song choices, throughout the night. I didn't know what song he was going into next, but I was anticapating each selection. We ended the night with "Baby Got Back", and a few roudy 2x4s shook what there mama gave them!
