 This coming Friday March 24th @moby's pub on beautiful Salt Spring Island BC. 9PM till close, No cover, No requests Bass music has to be one of my favourite all encompassing broad genre styles of music. It includes so many styles of electronic music that you can really create a diverse set. Main ingredient: Sub Bass. From dubstep or trap, garage to drum and bass, ghetto funk to half step even house music has a Bass House subgenre that really cranks. It is typically some form of the broken beat (or Breaks for short) even though Breaks is a genre all to itself as well. I hope to play a little bit of all of the above this Friday. Hope to see you on the dance floor, and don't be shy to show your best bass face.

 No Boomtown this Friday. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kiss an Irish person if you know and like one. St.Patrick's Day (more like 12:38 AM in the morning 3 years ago...) forever changed my life! Zaeden Priest Meagher (pronounced Mar) was born into my life by my wonderfully loving and patient partner Charlotte M. Priest. Becoming a father is likely the most profound, amazing and powerful event of my life so far with my own birth coming in third, with pink floyd live in Toronto being the second. (Kidding!/not) But seriously now, being a dad, a DJ, a carpenter, a good partner, while starting a digital marketing company, keeps ol'e Boomtown as busy as the local watering hole on a Friday night. Cue ridiculously cute photo now!  Zaeden with backpack and boots, ready for daycare.To be honest, I could really use a break from the odd Friday. Life is full on, as I'm sure it is for you too. You/I can honestly thank Zaeden for being so good at going to bed on most Fridays so papa can come out and Play! (Too many daddy references yet?) I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to re-hone my craft, as Dee-jaying & reading the crowd and dancing is one of my deeper passions.
Being in the endemic feels like such a release and to be back into gathering, dancing and socializing with less fear and a bit more openness, has been good medicine for the lonely fool in me. So thanks for showing up you beautiful little wonder! This Friday @mobys Buckdodgers band and Tom Hooper will be the entertainment! Catch you Next Friday for a ( b l a n k ) themed night of dj music 9-12:30.  Frequency Friday - a night of house music
March 31st, 2023 9pm till close Moby's Pub, SSI, BC Join us once again for a night of dancing and revelry. House music has been one of the foundational genres of the electronic dance movement since 1988 when disco disc jockeys started seamlessly mixing records and sampling catchy beats to keep the dancefloor pumping. Featuring: DJ Sage DJ Sage (Peng Records - Phat Phunk Records) brings DJing back to its fundamentals: 2 tracks mixing to build a new sound.

I'm so gratefull. I've been working hard at my craft and living that dad life. I really need to thank my partner Charlotte for all her support and looking after our two toddlers while I spin out in the night life. Having a weekly residency @Moby's Pub has really helped me to uplevel my dj skills and build my music collection. Social media can be a little daunting when your time is ruled by the whims and passions of two small children while holding down a day job. I'm really appreciative of those who participate online, but especially those who show up every week to dance and have a good time. It's been a slow build since November coming out of a pandemic where restrictions didn't allow dancing in clubs and capacities were cut in half. The last 3 years I've been in a baby tunnel, and it has really shifted my priorities. I am so stoked to be able to play again and to have you fine folks show up! Music is a 2 way street, a symbiotic relationship between performer, music, sound and audience. We all feed off the good energy we share and co-create together. I don't think I will ever take for granted the value and importance of dancing and gathering together to share something as powerful as music and self expression. I hope you will join me in my musical journey so we can celebrate each other as we come out of the weirdest time of all our lives. Boom. P.S. give me a follow for more stories, hit me up on email if you have a theme night suggestion or check out my previous life as a touring artist on youtube. And BTW thanks again!  Residency every Friday!This coming Friday March 10th, a night of 2000's dance music, hip hop and fun! Thanks to @aalleexx114 (on Instagram) for the suggestion on the theme! The 90's are over and electronic music is taking over along with the next generation of 2000s Hip Hop, Dance and Modern pop music. I'm excited to explore this timeline of music outside of the underground rave tunnel I was in at this time. If you have a suggestion for a theme for one of our friday nights, don't hesitate to get in touch with me laughlin@boomtownsound.com  New Stickers!!! Really stoked to have stickers to give away and help spread the word about what Boomtown likes to get up to.
