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 [...]

All For Swinging You Around

Theoretically, I should have been sitting in the corner in child’s pose for most of today’s DDPP or weeping exhaustedly in my car. I came to it straight from a 2 day, all day, full body stretch-an-strengthen-a-thon and every fiber in my being was screamin for a break. I was doubtful that there was an [...]

Mamma Said TKO

DJ Michelle Leslie Brown threw down hard last night with a mix that left us all better people. It was eclectic, it spanned decades and even continents! And man oh man - do I LOVE that Liz Mason’s lava projector! It provided shadow boxing ring and aggression release chamber for Mamma Said Knock You [...]

It’s the end of the world as we know it: and I feel sweaty

DJ Ruthliss lived up to her moniker tonight. She assembled a hard-hitting mix that left little time for water breaks and catching the breath. In short: that’s just how we like it. An hour and a half later and BAM! We accidentally got an amazing workout without even realizing it.
The classics kept up our energy [...]

Can’t Get Enough Krack

One of the greatest aspects of DDPP is that no two are ever alike. Not only are the vibrational frequencies of the room different and the ladies different, but each playlist has its own personality. Sure we might hear Gnarls Barkley or Kool and the Gang or Madonna every few mixes - but by and large [...]
