Annual DJ Cookout
My friend Rob (Rob Haze) has been throwing the annual DJ Cookout every year for over a decade (Nate (MVSTRNTE) has been co-producing it in the past two years). It’s an all-day indoor/outdoor event that is meant to be a celebration of the art of DJing and to give us all an opportunity to connect with each other.
This year, I had a funny idea for an experiment: What if I put my crate on the stage and let the audience hand me records from it and I play them in whatever order they hand them to me? DJs are notoriously reluctant (at times combatively) to take requests – what if I did an “Oops all requests!” set?
