————————————

I’ve got a very upbeat/rocking mix in the pipes for a half hour live DJ set that I am doing tonight to celebrate KBGA 89.9 college radio’s birthday bash. It’s a little nerve-racking to imagine myself DJing before a crowd since I’ve never done it before, but I crafted a mix of music that can’t […]
