Just discovered my other homeslice Connie Wohn’s DJ collective thingy, Styulus503, has gone live on the interweb. Pretty slick site, nice design, tho I’m a little-bit-a-lot hateful of content-less entry pages with pop-ups for the main site. The crew is TIGHT tho: DJ Beyonda (rulz), DJ Rev Shines from the Lifesavas, DJ Safi aka Shayla from Urban Honking (holla!), DJ Anjali + Incredible Kid, DJ Stay in School aka my man MartÃn from college dropping funky breaks, the one and only Chris Funk from Decemberists and such: this is clearly the preeminent DJ posse in this little town*, and who better to book/organize the thing than Connie. Seriously, she is one of the raddest, sweetest people running round this cozy/claustro PDX music biz/scene, and I wish her and hers all the luck in the cosmos.
* No disrespect to the many other rad DJs around, this is just the only “collective” I know of, so it is the best. Deejays P.Disco, Nightschool, DTFM / Beat Officer, Corban Lester, Brokenwindow, Tiger Stripes, Teenage, Wicked, Izm, PRA get nuff respect from the TRMW plus plus on the realness.**
** please god say it sounds cool when i type like that
