Gigs and Other Stuff

8:39 PM August 27, 2008
My DJ gig at Whitebird went well last week. I was spinning for about 2.5 hours and had a lot of fun. I'll probably be DJing there again sometime soon, but no definite arrangements have been made yet. I have, however, lined up plans for a new DJ gig at Earls for this Saturday night.

I'll be spinning some jazzy and funky house at Earls from 10pm to 1am. So come out and have a bite to eat or some drinks while I help create a loungy atmosphere. I'm looking forward to playing at a new venue and this should be a good fit.

In other news, I've been working on a few new designs for this website. The current design has been around for a few years now and I feel it's about time for a new look. I'm toying with some brighter themes for something different from this dark one, but I haven't settled on anything final yet. I'm not sure when the new design will be ready, but it could be anywhere from a week to a few months. For now I'm just playing with some ideas. I'm in no rush.

Anyways, check out Earls this Saturday night for some grooving beats and congratulations to my friends Steve and Dee on their wedding in Hawaii this past week.

Hi Dj Velvety,

couple of questions....
do u ever play in london? & are u on ARES' download site? ...its a file sharing/download site... excellent for dj's to swap tunes and obviously a great way of finding and discovering tunes.
if ur a user ive got about 1000 full lengh tunes ur welcome to browse through and use on ur mixes, im not a dj so id love to hear them in a mix.

Thanks for kind words Elkay, I'm glad you are enjoying my mixes :). I have not yet been to London but hope to visit there sometime in the near future. It looks like a great city.

I've never used Ares before, it sounds like a P2P file sharing program, is that correct? I usually avoid those and try to purchase my tracks/songs through legitimate channels to help support the awesome artists who provide me with all this great music to mix. But I thank you for the offer! If you have some particular tracks that you want to hear in a mix, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for the comment!
