On Groundhog’s Day… forget the Bill Murray movie reruns.
Daniel Folmer will be guest djing @ haileys to give you a little dj screw action. If you like the syrup swang – make sure you get out there early to check out his set. He has one of the dopest screwtape collections ive seen (way better than mine, and mine is pretty respectable).
yeahdef + ian bangs will still be droppin it like you are used to, but every once and a while we have to give a nod back to pioneers like Screw who help refine a genre and pushed hip hop into new directions.
ill be playing this dj screw documentary on the projector all night:

Numark is really smart right now. They are positioning themselves to be serious competition to Rane / Pioneer / Technics. With this new modular concept for the midi controller / cd-j / vinyl crossover dj metaphor – I think they’ll win over even the most die-hard skeptics. with pioneer’s lame 2000’s and the announcement that technics might stop 1200 production – you kinda have to stop and wonder how many 1200s/rane/cdjs we’ll see in clubs 10 years from now. ITCH is the future. 4 deck mixing, effects built in, and it can run from two laptops at the same time – and sync BPMs between djs for seamless transitions.
IM SOLD.
anyone looking for a cheap NS7 / Case / NSFX????

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!
you think im going to go picket antares to reopen and eat lobster bisque?
HELL NO!
IM DEEJAYING. its what i do every night.
Its totally FREE admission!
Its totally a reggae / dub / dancehall / hip hop party!
come party with me and wish me a happy 25.
or, don’t… can i still come to your party tho? are we still cool?
Steven Molina will be sharing DJ duties with me.
Most of you know him for his more electro-y style.
But its ok he held down a Dancehall night in Vancouver while he was living there.
ill be setting up my anonymous text message on the huge boiler room projector, so feel free to send secret shoutouts or birthday wishes my way either in person or over tha web.
FYI: this night is no longer a monthly
management @ boiler room is now wanting to do this twice a month
please come out every other wednesday ok! lets kick it off right!
Hello New Year. How are you? My name is joey and i made this show to kick you off with.
I think everybody and their baby sister’s cousins are coming to this show. Not hard to see why though – people are always starved for fresh new talented musicians. The booking/promotion kinda fell in my lap after Matthew Gray had a band pull out last minute – so he handed the date over to me. Thanks Mr Gray, I owe you one. Dan’s is a great venue and I’m super jazzed about setting up my first show there – i think it will be a resounding success.
Speaking of resounding, the reverberations coming from Dan’s may just be enough to cause local eatery “Fuzzy’s Tacos” complications whilst preparing a batch during Kampfgrounds‘ set. My good friend Tom (not the myspace tom) is in that band. He’s an A+ homie.
Peopleodian rock a nintendo DS and drums and a singer. eclectic is overused, but i think it fits them perfectly. Their melodies are great. Hard to get a grasp on how they sound live from the songs they’ve posted online – but trust me – its quite enjoyable.
Final Club is opening up the show. Its their very first live show. local home slice Austin Swann is in the band. he’s been an age old homie who has stood the test of time. i can remember throwing back quite a few tallboys with that particular tall boy. knock em dead swann.
ill be djing songs in between and after. just rad little tunes that i think will fit the mood. see ya @ 9!
oh yeah and its only ONE DOLLAR if you are over 21.

There’s a good chance that if you are currently reading this – you were at the last 80s night deej’d by DJ G last night at haileys. It seems as if in denton all good things must never come to an end. With DJ G moving on to better things, yours truly will be donning the coveted eighties cap for 2010 and beyond every thursday at haileys.
Its an honor to be taking over the 80s. After working clubs a little over a year – you notice a few things. Long-running monthlies are rare (hot flash). Weeklies that last more than a year are even more rare (cool out). I can’t think of anything that has lasted longer than the denton staple of 80’s Dance Night @ Haileys on thursday. OVER 5 YEARS RUNNING!!! DJ G has kept an entire college generation dancing to the eighties and then some. My friend cullen mentioned it in his short film – i thought that was a nice nod. its YELP site is glowing with mainly 80s night reviews. Its practically the standard weekend kickoff for the college crowd here in lil d. I think everyone i’ve ever known in denton has been to 80s night at some point, and most of my homies in dallas too.
but enough of me gushin on eighties night. my first one is jan 7th and i cant wait to take my place behind the decks and add another decade to my repertoire. thanks again denton (mainly it was just Ray that decided, thanks Ray!). DJ G we wish you the best (who knows? maybe he’ll be back every once and a while to drop some 80s on yall)

this is going to be pretty fun for a lot of reasons – but i think the main reason is that im not going to sleep and im going to go straight to the airport after so that i can make sure i dont miss my plane to florida @ noon tomorrow. maybe i wont do that. either way tho – i havent packed, bought any presents for my family, or planned for any sort of pickup from the airport in tampa.
21 and up – 9pm – come boogie down to jingle bells.

special line up before you go off to be with family for the holidays.
you know – if it werent for jason and alan – i probably would have never gotten into the club circuit. I was pretty content just playing house parties around denton but then when alan left cut loose wednesdays, i managed to get a foothold and fill the emptiness with jason, a night in which we shared many impromptu karaoke sessions and floorburners. I don’t ever really remember going to a club before I started deejin @ them.
so – as a meager salute – 90s night does a big welcome back from touring basically everywhere on the planet – NEON INDIAN – back in their hometown!!! we’ll have Alan and Jason trading back and forth on the decks along with the terrible twosome of ian bangs and yeahdef.
come out and congratulate these super duper homies on their successful album / tour!
dont forget to check out Neon Indian @ the Granada – monday the 28th – ill be djing too along with performances by Fizzy Dino Pop and Ishi!
