This was a unique gig... a Halloween'een performance for a high school night at the MIT Museum, while explaining everything I was doing with the DJ equipment! I've blurred the faces of the students (best I could) but hopefully you can feel the fun!

Yet more 90s crate digging, here's a pretty typical school dance set I would have played when I was just starting out... we thought we were SO COOL then, with our Gregorian chants and Swedish reggae.

This mix includes a little real-time crash recovery around 40 minutes in!

I have a 90s gig coming up in about a month, so I might as well get ahead of my crate prep! Here's a dig through some midtempo New Jack Swing classics... a little hip-hop, a little R&B.
