DJs Wanted


May 22, 2003 The good guys at Verlaine (Rivington @ Essex/Ludlow... our house bar—literally) recently finished construction on an elevated DJ booth. Co-owner Gary emails, "Now all we need are a few good dj's. I would appreciate any suggestions or if you run into anyone, send them in with a disk." OK, kids, you know what to do. Meantime, any LES/EV DJ nights people are enjoying as the weather warms?


Comments about this post (20 so far... Post yours below)

Allow me to make a pitch for an unheralded DJ from Astoria: Rufus King. I've only heard his mix discs -- never heard his live show -- but this guy is genius: blending Whitney Houston's "I Wanna dance with Somebody Who Loves Me" with Bob Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate," or "Baba O'Riley" with Madonna's "Ray of Light."

C'mon, Rufus!

Rufus King is a hack. But the laser show he brings is tremendous.

Hack? Surely you jest. By "Hack," I think you mean "name of mysteriously renewed David Morse - Andre Braugher CBS show about a cab driver vigilante," a phrase of praise, rather than "hack," as in, "talentless shlub."

When Rufus King unleashes his can't miss gambits on the dance floor, all hell breaks loose. I've seen it. Seeing is believing.
