The Do-Over: "Whaddya know..."

So the Do-Over is this wonderful little summer party in LA every Sunday (+ certain holiday celebrations). Yesterday was the kick-off jam. The creators of the Do-Over thought it be genius to not announce their special guest DJs before the event. This proved them so. Hence, "Well, well, well, whaddya know..."




Numark murdered it with his eyes closed. And the most beautiful thing about it was that he played during sunset, lighting was PERFECT. Lighting is so crucial, so crucial. My accomplices for the afternoon/evening were these 2 lovely ladies, Eishil [Beat Swapmeet/Fly Ball] and DJ Roza [LA/SF].


Around 10:30pm Roza and I headed back to the cars, which felt like 456789 miles away considering we lost track of how long we were standing for and our legs were like jello. Bumped a "Numark Live @ The Get Back" mixtape until 11pm rolled around and we tuned in here,



where the World Famous Wake Up Show lives and listened as King Tech ever so graciously played my dinky 10 minute set to open up the show. Sigh. Hearing yourself on the radio is like no other feeling I can describe. Ok, maybe I'll try: it's kinda like...finding free puppies. It shall still air this Saturday on KMEL in the bay, for the rest of the world you can tune in online. Otherwise, you can download the raspy-straight-off-the-radio recording here:
