Giddy UP and Tally HO!!

The beats are flying hot, fast and furious this season. And I, want to share a bunch of them with you. Ok, at least a set of them; ok, maybe two, OK, The whole night....the way we serve 'em up, down here in south Florida. Great place to BE from, Here. We get to have the Winter Music Conference in our back yard. A time when just about every person in the dance music industry is in Miami....and Every club is hosting a Major line-up of incredible DJs. So that every where you go, you can be sure that whoEver is at the decks, is going to... "Turn You Out." It's a very exciting time here and I highly recommend it if you are at all into Club Life. Try to make it to one. You'll most certainly be turned On to a style of music that you may not have thought that you'd like.

Now Hopefully, I can do the same thing for you. In this podcast I want to give you a taste of the Herbicidal, the way it comes out over the course of a whole night. This comes to you in four podcast installments...the whole night that is. From the beginning of the night when I walk in to set up and play the first hour or so to anywhere from 5 to 10 people; all the way to the end of the night. Closing is at 3AM, in this case the last song (Beatles) was played at 3:30 to a room still full of whistling and screaming (I love when they do that) cowboys. Hey, it was the weekend of the Gay Rodeo. YeeHaa!!! And...throughout the night....there were a Few "Requests" (perish the thought and usually a DJ's worst nightmare, but as I say, IF I have them in the bag, and it works, I'll play 'em.) And; they offered to take clothes off if I did, What would You Do? (sly)

You'll have to PLAY IT LOUD. That's the way you heard it...That's the way it should BE. Oh, and have a favorite beverage; You were cocktailed Then, so, get a bizz-buzz-on as you Go with me. (snicker). Oh, and this sound did, but may not come with a room full of rubbin' ONIT sexy crowd, you'll have to get your own, Now, I Know, You want it All, All the time... the way I like it, More More More is My motto. But, because I know most of you hear me from Peak hour to close....I'm going to "Give" you the night that way, in two segments.....Peak night (the middle two sets) and then Parts one and four, (beginning and closing, so you can see how I got you there.) And, I Know most of you want it that way anyway. So These first two sets, Start at about an hour thirty into my night....right when the crowd starts to pack it in. This is my Peak night. Wicked energy and sexiness. Listen to the lyrics, DEF some of my Fave tracks at the moment, last song on part two (Ralph Falcon w/The Weather Girls) will Break you.

So there you have it. I'm not a man versed in the ways of script...as much as I am a man of passion. Passion for music. Lots of vocals with uplifting messages to tell you stories of love. Well sometimes stories of sexiness, but love none the less. And in my DJ mind....I'm about intelligent programming.., Could be the drums or a horn or bass line that determines the next choon. I play to the highest common denominator, I give my audience credit for being informed listeners, as they listen on the internet, and they are constantly exposed to world class DJs. I try to bring them new songs before they are heard in the top 20. I try to expose them to new beats and styles of music. I Love digging my extensive vinyl collection and tossing them a classic, or remake of one, every so often. I push the limits and the energy. I don't cross-fade, I like to use isolators to blend the mix out. I like to think on my feet, meaning I don't play songs in the same order, ever, so the mix / flow is different every time. I may try three or more songs before I decide to throw it in. (in this case I only have two CD sources to mix with).

Hope you enjoy this "Trip", and that this catches you up on what's bumpin' in my world. And as my good friend, Robbie Leslie, always says....."Never underestimate the Power of Music." I love it, and hope you Feel IT. If, I am ever in the booth and you're in the room.....please stop by and say hi.

Love all around,
Herbie
