Did a birthday party on Saturday at the Los Gatos Lodge. This was an enjoyable party since the Birthday girl gave me songs that went through many generations. She had the music she grew up with and some current songs. She invited her family and friends to the celebration.

She did not want to give a speech but some folks gave speeches about her after dinner. Birthday girl was the first one on the dance floor and was dancing the whole night. It was definitely a good vibe that night and the dancing itch was in full effect. It did make the night go faster. It was a 6-hour event and cocktail and dinner only took two hours and the remaining 4 hours was straight dancing. We did not finish early and went straight to 11. I have to applaud the birthday girl and the guests who danced the night away. They were not teenagers but with their energy they seemed to be like them. I took all requests and even played some super new music then the guest realized we had to go back to the old school and we did go back to the old school. Because we know old school rules!

What birthday girl wanted was some up lighting.  She ordered 6 up lights and I spaced them around the room. Up lights do add some class to the room.

Staff was very nice and made sure I got to eat too. It was a quick set up and a quick close out. I was able to park in front of the venue and put everything away in my suv.

New Years is always a fun event. Masses of folks celebrate the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. This one we have coming up is special since it is the end of the decade. I have the opportunity to share this celebration with the folks at Dave and Busters in Milpitas.

  They are offering a buffet and a place to party. For me it is a no brainer when it comes to fun places in the south bay. The biggest task for me for the night is what song am I going to play when the clock hits midnight. The past two years it has been easy. The end of 2018 I went with N0 Limit by G-Eazy and the following year I went with Sicko Mode by Travis Scott. But this year, there has not been a song for me that really stood out. If I go by the charts then my choices would be Old Town Road and Juicy by Lizzo. But I am not feeling those songs.

I always had a track that had the countdown but this year I will do the count down myself and throw in my surprise  song for the night. In my head, I am drawn to Little John or Too Short. Then again, Act Up by the City Girls was a big hit this past year. Again a dj’s job is the read the crowd and only time will tell.

One of the sites where I get my dj music is called Crate Gang. They do a good job of having tracks that I can not find and they make them dj friendly. I have been able to do some edits of my own that they have posted on their site. This week they gave me the opportunity to have the mix of the week. https://www.mixcloud.com/CrateGangRadio/crate-gang-radio-ep-4-dj-wingman/
