DJs

I am certain there are plenty of good DJs out there in SL. Problem is, finding them.

This is the task which has been assigned to me to fill out the roster at Oz. I have purposely not taken an evening slot because my goal is find the most unique and talented DJs I can for the club.

As a sidenote: just because Oz arose out of the ashes of Lonsdale does in no way indicate that Oz is a "punk" club. In fact, "punks" will be disappointed to know that their simplistic, single-minded ideas of music have been cast out the window with their narrow-minded and backwards ideals. So, ya know, quit your bitching and get the fuck out of the way, because the times have passed you by. Your ideas are dead, just like punk for over 30 years.

So far, two DJs have been signed. Punkkitty Clipper, despite her moniker, is a DJ who throws down a mind-boggling array of music from all sorts of styles, mixing in her own unique wit in between songs. The scary thing about Punky is her developement. She's gone from hella-good DJ to amazing in a very short amount of time. The girl can throw it down with the best of 'em now, and assurely, if you appreciate a wide variety of musical styles, you'll be amazed how seemlessly she meshes them all in the course of a set. Punky plays Tuesday nights at 7pSLT.

Our other new regular act is Paige Heckroth. A Jersey-ite who throws down an electronica jam that will make you wish your headphones went to 11. Paige's music is a mesmerizing, carefully planned and manicured set that will make your ears demand you shake your real life ass as much as your SL avi. You will not find a more unique blend of music anywhere in SL. To miss her is to miss out. Please come and listen in on Thursday nights at 7pSLT.

I'll promise you, more unique and amazing DJs are on their way. Oz is a music club; the open minded are going to find themselves animating their avis happily night in and night out.
