So as many of you may remember, a few years ago there was a radio station created in Miami focused on dance music called Party 93.1.
I had the pleasure of working there for as the station's Promotions Director and on-air personality. Every Saturday night for an extended period of time I would broadcast live for three hours from Club Space. At the time, Space had one of the largest and most consistent line-up's of names in the country and I was previleged to broadcast with names like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Oscar G, Steve Lawler, Roger Sanchez and many more.
In fact, just behind the DJ booth was a tiny little bathroom just big enough for a toilet and sink that would double as my broadcast booth. I would also use the bathroom to interview these artist before their set, so in all probability I have the somewhat questionable record for being in a bathroom with the most big name DJ's in the world. (INSERT SMARMY CLUB/BATHROOM JOKE HERE)
To me, those broadcasts will forever be etched in my memory as some of the most special moments I have ever experienced in 15 years I have been clubbing.
Recently someone sent me a download link to one of the broadcasts featuring Tiesto Live From Club Space on August 18th, 2002....
I remember it vividly as a definiting moment for my understand of what a DJ can do. Where the music, lights and crowd collide to create a breif explosion of energy.
When I listen to this mix, it still brings me back to those moments (with a chill running down my back.)
