During the summer of my junior year in high school I attended a week long art camp at Denver Art Institute. It was supposed to be one of those once in a lifetime, career charting experiences, but I remember practically nothing about it. The only thing I recollect is the last day; the closing ceremonies party. About twenty-five of us were gathered in a parking lot behind one of the buildings enjoying the outdoors, the Denver skyline, the complimentary snacks and a live DJ spinning top-40 under a tent in back. I was watching the DJ. He was thoroughly enjoying his craft even though no one in our little crowd was paying much attention to him. He was mainly mixing for himself. At one point he picked up a record, smiled at no one in particular and placed it on his turntable. Then, as if everyone suddenly noticed there was music playing, people started dancing. It was an up-beat song: a four-on-the-floor kick, a euro-dance synth, and a bouncy female vocal singing something in Spanish. The groove was catchy and our group loved it. One of the students leaned over to me and answered my unspoken question, “It's called the Macarena.”

This week’s spotlight is with Gospel House DJ, Frankie Vibe. My husband and I have had multiple opportunities to spend time with Frankie and I’m being honest in saying that he’s one of the most interactive, entertaining DJs I’ve ever known. I hope you enjoy this look into the man behind the speakers!

In case you didn't notice, last week we finally got our community tool up and running. J Puddy and I have been working on this for several months now, but it's finally done and ready for your enjoyment. Of course like all things on the web, we will be adding new features and tweaking the implementation of it for some time to come. Regardless all of the basic features you would expect are up and running, but let's talk about a few of them real quick.

That's right, we're gearing up for another year with the Cornerstone Music Festival. As always, we start each year with a call out to the community for the best Christian DJs to throw us a mix and possibly get on the roster for the Afterhours Club Stage. This year we are experiencing a major venue change. I'm not sure how much of it has been made public yet by the festival, so you'll have to wait for some details. What I'm sure I can tell you though, is that we will be moving out of the Barn. This move should put us in a much more trafficked area and if all goes right should allow us to get started a bit earlier each night. Most of the details are still being worked out as I typed, but I can tell you that I am excited about the change.
