Boulder High Yearbook Signing!

This morning IZ and I woke up early to go DJ at Boulder High School for the senior yearbook signing BBQ. Going off little sleep, we were up and at it again at 11AM this morning! The kids were rockin at the BBQ and we took requests for everything from Beethoven's 9th to Bliss and Esso, while keepin the vibes right for the BBQ. Shout out to the 3 requests we got for People Under The Stairs( one of our favorite groups too!) As interesting side note, and neat fact I learned that Boulder High was Colorado's first High School...pretty cool.

DMC BATTLES UPDATE

For those who may not know, in addition to rocking parties and clubs I also love to battle! It was how I started in the DJ game and got me into my first radio, show and club gigs, but for some reason I just cant stop!! This year I competed in the DMCs out here in Colorado and I had a couple skips that spoiled my juggles but none the less I ended up placing third in the regional! The title went to Notch, an OG of the Colorado battle scene who definitely deserved it! The battle was dope and the cut session with Vajra and Teeko was was even better! Shout out to Christie Z, (pictured) who is super awesome and coordinating the DMC battles again. Here are some pics below of the Denver regional and also of DJ Jeff C (AKA Def Jeff AKA Penz) a long time friend of Amateur Ape who placed third in the New Orleans DMC Regional! Here are the results from the regionals that have taken place (The top 2 advance to the US finals in NY on Aug 7.)
