DJ Competition & Mix Master Mike

It took us a while, but we went back out. To the Paragon theatre, of course. Mix Master Mike of Beastie Boy fame was in town so, really, how could we not?

The night was pretty jam-packed with DJs. First off: The Come Up Documentary’s elimination round. Four brand new DJs from Halifax with only four months of training beneath an already established DJ (a mentor/apprentice thing) each took their turn with the difficult task of getting the barely drunk crowd to the dance floor to start off the night. All four had something different to offer and in the end there was a tie for second (although I think the young kid should have taken the win for sure, he came second..).

Following that was DJ Cosmo who got the last of the stragglers out on to the floor and warmed up for Mix Master Mike… who was pretty incredible. This post is a little late in the making so the details aren’t super clear, but I can tell you this: it was SICK! Mix after mix he delivered something to really dance to, although dancing was kind of hard when all you wanted to do was watch him go. Ticket prices were kind of steep for a Paragon show, but I’d have to argue they were worth every penny.

Until next time!
