On October 5th we celebrated the life of the great DJ A.M. For those that don't know, DJ A.M. was one of the more famous DJ's in the past decade. His style was one that would change nightclub DJing forever. AM was never afraid to cross genres and play all kinds of music, he truly started the newest trend of "open format" DJing. The first time I saw AM play was about 4 years ago at Pure Las Vegas. It was right around the time I was pursuing nightclub gigs and seeing him perform changed everything for me. I had never seen a DJ play Brand Nubian, AC/DC, White Stripes, Madonna etc. all in one night, let alone at a classy, top of the line Vegas hot spot. I was amazed. Since that first time I was lucky enough to catch about 3 or 4 DJ AM sets and every one was as impressive as the first. He truly was one of the greatest and he will be missed!
Shouts to DJ Digital Dave for putting everything together, we had over 30 DJs participate and play tribute sets! I was very impressed with the sets that some of the DJs put together, it was really cool to see everyone interpret a "tribute" set a little bit differently. Below are some pics from the event courtesy of DJ Bonics. Be sure to peep his blog too! www.djbonics.com
