LADIES NIGHT

LADIES NIGHT at Blue Martini Ft. Lauderdale

PACKED! I'm going to say it again, Blue Martini has the perfect atmosphere for the 25+ crowd. It's grown, it's classy, it's sexy. From start to finish everyone shows up for a good time and has one. The place was wall to wall and the energy was there. That's the most important thing with any party is the energy. Yes, there are nights where the place is packed and people are at a 6 or 7 level...but there's nights when they are a 9 or 10 and that's when it becomes a really good time. I know it effects how I play. I constantly feed off the crowd. Some DJ's go in and play. If the crowds dancing or not, they play their songs and set. For me its more complicated. I truly feel like I am YOUR DJ. And as YOUR DJ it is my job to take from the 6-7 and bring you to your 10. The only challenge sometimes is the limitations on music. Because that crowd is so diverse, there needs to be a variety of music played. House, hip hop, top 40, 80s, rock, reggae, latin....you will probably hear me play almost all these genres in one night. At the same time, because theres not a specific type of music, there becomes this thin line of where you can go with certain genres. Play house...but not too hard. Play hip hop...but not too dirty or explicit. Play top 40...but not too cheesy. This is why it is hard for some DJ's to play at these types of venues. It's like telling an artist to paint their own picture but they can only use certain colors and brushes to do so. This is where the DJ ego needs to be put in check.

For me, it's not about ME. It's about everyone else. It's about the crowd having a good time. Its about the staff having a good time. It's about people wanted to stay and party and enjoy the atmosphere, people, and drinks and besides doing it all night, making them want to come back and do it again. And they do.

Any night at Blue Martini you're going to have a good time. I do hold back on some of the music on certain nights because I'm aware of my surroundings and what would be appropriate or not for that time. BUT there are nights..like Mondays ITB where I'm on stage and let it loose. Gives a brief inside on how I like to play. Again, it all depends on the crowd. I can say that if someone is looking for a good crowd, Wednesdays Ladies Night at Blue Martini is def where you can find it.....along with good music.
