Disasters aren’t so bad. In fact…they are amazing.

Can we give a shout out to DJ Dizzaster for today’s sweat breaking beats. She came in like a tornado whipping us away in her bass thumping, body bumping tunes that started with the first song. We started the dance-a-thon-thon off swaying, carried it through with some swinging, some stomping, and ended it with some [...]

Blast from Bizzo Past

Fresh off a plane from Maui, Kiki Bizzo wasn’t tired of traveling. Oh no! She was primed and pumped (complete with pretty blue flower in hair!) to take on the role of DDPP tour guide…back…in… time. She whisked us away through her tune-age back to our hangin’ out with the ladies by the lockers days [...]

FYI: The Freaks (also) Come Out Mid-Afternoon

Spoonie Gee says “All Aboard!” (with his eyes)

Although she played no Journey, DJ Lalee took us on one. We started off on a raucous rock and rollercoaster and paused at the Cornershop for a smoke break. We then boarded the soul train - taking us up and over the mountains, through funk country and delivered [...]

Beautiful day; 13 beautiful ladies. Who says the #13 is bad luck? DJ Tanner was the luckiest lady in the house tonight.

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Jenn Martin, aka DJ Tanner was getting a little nervous when the clock struck 6:25 and not a lady was to be found on the dance floor. What’s a girl to do with her pink dancing shoes on, in a room of flashing lights, but no dancing partners? Don’t even think [...]

Tasty Apple Pietunes

Oh dark under lord of the ipod universe? Why doth thou curse dear Lauri with your glitches and ticks and song skips and overall brutality? Why doth thou take our emotions and heart rates on a roller coaster without seat belts? Dark under lord - why do your armpits smell of turpentine? BE GONE UNDER [...]

It’s Not Unusual To Have Fun With Everyone…

Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do do … you wanna dance? Yes my friend, you certainly do. And so did everyone at the packed house of DDPP last night! DJ Jilly Bean brought us a magic bag of goodies with the perfect flavor for everyone! Soul, [...]

Introducing…THE CHICAGO DDPP SONG DATABASE (!!!)

Are you the type who wants to make sure NONE of your songs have ever been heard at Chicago DDPP before? Or are you the type looking for inspiration for your upcoming setlist? Or or or - are you just curious to see how many *$#!*& songs have been rocked in Chicago? Any way you [...]

Chromeo, Chromeo Wherefore Art Thou Chromeo?

Chromeo is right where he oughtta be - at DDPP…thanks to DJ Dinosaur. She ripped our sweat glands out of their sockets tonight and shook them till they bubbled over. If that sounds gross or painful, I assure you it was quite the opposite. Her mix was electro-hip-hop-ageous and we two-stepped our buns into the [...]

She Wears Short Shorts

And her DJ name does, too! Caitlin - DJ Shorty Shorts - might have been at a loss for fabric, but she was long on hits. We had a great crowd last night despite the weather being closer to bearable than it’s been in oh…7 months or something. So thanks for not going out to [...]
