94th Aero Squadron - Friday Nights

For over 10 years I have managed the DJs for Friday nights at the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant and Bar in Kearny Mesa in San Diego. This World War 2 Themed restaurant has a Friday happy hour that has always been busy. The local work force starts to come in at about 5 and by 7 or 8 the club is usually full. The music format has always been R&B, Hip Hop and Old School with a little bit of Dancehall and Latin mixed in. The music further breaks down into mostly R&B (both new and old)and old school from 6:30 til about 8:30 or 9pm to fit our 30+ something crowd. Then as the night club crowd rolls in, anything goes from 9 or 10 til close. Since the early crowd tends to be a little older average age than the late crowd, I usually play the early shift since my years as Dr Boogie at Magic 92.5FM give me a lot of range in that music genre.
The DJ Booth is fully equipped with a pair of Technics 1200 turntables and a dual deck CD player. We play on the 1200s using the CD player as a back up for drops and other production needs.
