Video DJ at Anthology in San Diego

I've been the on-air Mix DJ for Magic 92.5 since 1998 under the name, Dr Boogie. Anthology, San Diego's Live music venue, had me come in along with Xavier The X-man to Video DJ for the night March 13th. Anthology is by far my favorite venue to Video DJ in San Diego. 10 screens including the big 15 foot screen above the stage the videos are everywhere! Anthology has 2 shows per night on the weekends, a 7-9 and a 10-12. LadySmith Black Mombasa was the 7pm show, they are the African Accapella group that used to back Paul Simon in the 80's. I made sure to show up early for my show so I could catch the last part of their set. It was very different, but very cool. Those guys deliver a great vocal performance but they really have some amazing choreography. At times it was hard to tell what was rehearsed and what was improvised. The 7pm show was sold out so at 9:15 when it was over it took a little time to clear the room for the line of Magic listeners forming at the front door. It didn't take long to get the crowd dancing, I've got some video clips to edit together. I'll post those as soon as they're available. You can catch my mixshow on www.Magic925.com or 92.5 FM at 5pm Monday-Friday. You can also download free mixes at my website www.mobilemusicplus.com by signing up in the sign up box in the upper right corner.

Video DJ at Anthology on Halloween

My Radio on air alter ego, Dr Boogie (TM) from Magic 92.5 FM had me playing as the closing act after R&B Singer Teedra Moses. She's primarily an East Coast Artist, but she's got a long list of credits that you would recognize including song writing for Mary J Blige, Macy Gray and Support Rolls for R Kelly, Will Smith and No Doubt.

I was booked to play old school (like we play on Magic 92.5) videos and the crowd loved it. The best feature of my Video DJ performance still continues to be my wide variety of Videos or different music genres.

This party was fun but I have to admit, it was a new experience for me. Anthology is a Live music show club, not a dance club and consequently the audience comes to see a performance, that was the first time I have ever been "The Show" I'm usually called in to create the dance atmosphere of a party or Night Club.
