Hi! It's been a while since I've updated my Blog... Ever since Mid Summer and I turned 50, (Back in August) it seems that my life has been in hyperdrive. The Party was fabulous BTW! 2 days of DJS, Dinners, and 175 great friends co-celebrating with the lovely Ms. Alice on the beautiful Sunshine Coast with my amazing family! I was so grateful to my good friend DJ Daniel Trump for hosting my night at Moby's while I went on a little Vacay with My wonderful partner and 2 kids! I highly recommend you try Lasqueti if you want to brave the straight and have an off grid adventure. Right after that (in September) I co produced an event and performed with my wonderful friend and fellow musician Ganga Giri. We had a sold out show at Beaver Point Hall. What an amazing night of classic Island vibes and incredible dancing. Special thanks to David and Lila for hosting, and John Watson for the amazing photos. (see below for related content) All the while I maintained my Friday nights @Moby's pub with some special guests and some super fun nights of music and dancing. October didn't slow down much as my band and I (Tripp the System) prepared for our first public performance @ the Mateada Lounge. The show was a success and a great time was had by all! Thanks to Tommy (mateada bookings), DJ Sage, D'jule, our Sound guy Will Shulba and Simon Millerd on trumpet for making our show a success. Also thanks to Blair for Video work, footage to be released soon. I also hosted Rennie Foster in October, It was great to watch and learn from a local legend about the craft of DJ work, and we had an amazing private halloween party after the Friday night gig. In other news I also upgraded my DJ gear the the Pioneer XDJ-XZ all in one. This is going to bring my skills up to the next level and prepare me for DJaying out in club or festival land. I am very stoked to step into this new phase of learning and performance skill enhancing. Stay tuned for more mixes to be forthcoming. I also celebrated one year of Friday nights in Boomtown! I can't believe it has been a whole year, one tripp around the sun! I am so grateful to Moby's Pub Dale and Susan for inviting me to join the team, and DJ every Friday. Now, into the unknown... If you haven't heard the rumours, let me fill you in. Moby's pub is about to sell to a new owner. It's is my hope that the new captain at the helm of this cornerstone business on good old Salty wants to keep Boomtown Fridays going. At this Point I don't know. My current contract sees me to the end of December after that is currently an Unknown. Fingers crossed... BTW: This Friday, November 10th, 80's Night with your host: DJ Boomtown Below is all the Media from the past 2-3 months adventures. Enjoy Boomtown while you can, he may go back into the underground...
