Boogie Down on Aisle Three…

Ever  taken your baby deer to Jewel and busted out some sweet dance moves amid the boxes of Oysterettes?

Me neither.  But that’s because they aren’t playing the right kind of Muzak!  (And because my baby deer doesn’t do carbs).  Thankfully here at DDPP we do Muzak right.  Or rather, DJ Muzak does DDPP right.  I [...]

The Circle of Life

Last month we donned our white gloves and recognized the passing of a legend.  DJ Peaches did a fantabulous job putting together a mix of Michael through the years, and the result was such a zombie-lurching, moon-walking, crotch grabbing blast that we asked ourselves whether once was really enough.  The answer…NO!  And DJ AWOL (aka [...]

Did some sing Karaoke?

Nine beautiful and brave ladies showed up for the first DDPP fieldtrip to Karaoke on Lincoln. We had our own room but we could have basically taken over the entire building. In fact, the way the man and the woman behind the bar was pouring me shots, I think we actually did win the hearts [...]

A: Extraordinarily good.
But DJ Michelle Leslie Brown isn’t just and lady. She is a rarity, a gem that [...]

So you think you can sing?

We know you can dance. But in honor of summer we’re gonna shake it up with some sweet serenading, too. We’re also going to break 2 cardinal rules of DDPP: there will be booze and there will be talking. (Still no judgment and no boys) Yeehaw!
Please consider you and your ladies invited to DDPP Chicago’s [...]

Hodgepodge

Usually after I make a mix, even when I haven’t set out to make it themed, I find my subconscious has programmed in some kind of unifying element.  Maybe 80% of the songs I’ve chosen ask some kind of question, or maybe a disproportionate number of them use the phrase “pump it up.”  Either way, [...]
