My Farewell

I'm writing this simply to clear the air about my decision to leave Mashup Mondays at Rockwood, and I'll try to keep it short & sweet.

This was my favorite weekly party & truly one of, if not THE dopest residency I've ever had. The team & staff are awesome, I've met some amazing people there & I've had the opportunity to bring my DJ friends from all over to spin & enjoy it with me. What I loved most about this night was that it was different than any other club night in the city. I was able to play my rarest, most enjoyable mix of music to a diverse crowd who enjoyed partying to a vibe that they couldn't get just anywhere. It was the alternative to the average TOP 40/Urban club night that happens in every club, every weekend in every city....and I loved it for that!

Unfortunately I guess it was too good to last, & after spinning Mondays for over 2 1/2 years, it seems to have become just another regular club night, to me at least. I play tons of regular club nights all over the world, and they're cool, but Mondays were my "different" night where I didn't have to play all the latest hits all the time to make people happy. I feel like it's changed over time, as most things do, and for this reason it's simply not the same for me anymore.

I'm thankful for having had the opportunity to play this night for the time that I did, as it was enjoyable, fulfilling, and it definitely helped me grow as a DJ. It's been my pleasure to introduce newer & older music to ears that may not have heard it otherwise. And I'm proud to have been a part of the award winning team who built this legendary night from the ground up. We set out to accomplish something, and we did it!

I wish the team, and the staff nothing but the best for the future of Mashup Mondays at Rockwood. I'm sad to be walking away, and I will definitely miss it, but I feel that it's time for me to move on.

Hope that clears it up. No hard feelings whatsoever, and if anything I've said here or prior seems offensive, know that it was not my intention. Simply saying what I feel, and those who know me know that's just who I am.
