Friday Jams

To start off, a great driving/biking home from work on a Friday anthem; Party Enemy No. 1 by People Under the Stairs:

The show on Wednesday went great. Hunter and I got to the Pour House a little late; but we got set up and sound-checked well before 9 (when we were supposed to go on), so I had a smoke and we both pulled all the records we would need for the sets. We ended up getting started a few minutes after 9, and the opening set went swimmingly. We love playing at the Pour House, because it always sounds great for the audience and on stage. It's really easy to put long blends when you can hear yourself so clearly.

Another of my favorite PUTS jams from Fun DMC is Enjoy. Such an ill low-key party song:

One of the best parts of the show for me (and every time we do this particular set) was when Hunter dropped Ghostwriter by RjD2. He blends in an out of it so well. By about ten, we had John Kutter from the UFO crew on stage with us rocking cuts during lulls in the set. Kid has so much flavor on his flares, and is simply clean as fuck on the cut.

Yet another great jam from Fun DMC is Critical Condition:

Hunt and I got real excited when the Hypnotic Body Rock crew came to the front and got a B-Boy cipher popped off. We love spinning when people dance, and having them there fueled us to keep the mix smooth and EQed on point. By the end of the set (right around 11), Fred from UFO came up and spun some ill soul breaks. Hunter, Kutter, and I had a question and answer cut session while Fred kept the set moving. That was real fun... but mostly because my cuts sounded pretty good... or at least much better than they had earlier in the week at practice.

Finally, for your late-night/fall asleep happy Friday cool-out jam, here's People Under the Stairs with Montego Slay:
