I know I am late with releasing this mix, but I have had one heck of a weekend. Chicago St. Pattys Day is crazy, so I was working everyday last weekend. This is a live recording from my performance at John Barleycorn (Wrigleyville) on March 11, 2010. Because this a live mix it takes a lot of editing to make it “iPod friendly”. As far as genres, this mix is all over. There should be something for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy

St. Pattys Day in Chicago is crazy!!! For those who haven’t been to Chicago, Chicago has a very large irish community and therefore makes St. Pattys a big deal. Chicago goes as far as to turn the Chicago River, which runs through the heart of downtown, green (see the image to the left). I don’t think there is another city in the country that turns a major river a different color for a holiday. St. Pattys Day being a big drinking holiday, of course means its a big music and dance holiday as well (since those three things go so well together). I, of course, being a Dj had an 8 hour set at a place called Finn McCools, an Irish Pub. I did manage to take a few pictures, through out the craziness. Hit the jump below to see the pics…

I am not going to lie and I know it may be a sin to say out loud in public. But I am not a big fan of Lady Gaga. To be honest, I haven’t liked a single song she has put out. Her voice is too manly and her beats are not hot. But with that being said, even I understand the “epicness” of a team-up between her and Beyonce. Beyonce is an artist I respect a lot and for her to team up with the news little pop princess, Lady Gaga is a huge feat. This video gives me an idea to create “Beyonce v. Lady Gaga” MegaMix… just might happen after I finish this Dj Hero mix.

I made a new year’s solution to make a mix and publish it every week. Also, I pledge never to do the same genre in the same month. So for the second week of March, I am gonna do Megamix to a game that has been distracting me from my law school books for a while. Dj Hero really is a cool game and has some great music. There is an official soundtrack, but it’s not “club friendly.” Its really cut up and choppy and sounds like the music was made for a game rather than game was made for the music. Meaning it has a lot of unnecessary cuts and scratches only because the game developers wanted the player to keep doing “something.” So I will be remixing the Dj Hero remixes and make them sound like they deserve to be in club rather than sounding like they were made for a little kids game. Obviously that may take a while, so this week’s mix may be a little late.
