For the last decade, the creative foundation of The Demonstration series personally for me is how far can I push and possibility, break the rules as a DJ? How much can I shock and surprised you the listener, with artists, tracks, and genres that on paper, should not share the same sonic airspace? But what I have to keep reminding my never-ending, forever overthinking, creative self is that you the listener at the end of the day, are not into critiquing these musical science equations. All that matters to you is “does the music make me move?” And 5 volumes and 10 years in, this series has stayed “Devoted to the art of moving butts” - A Tribe Called Quest.

Now more than ever, this art is desperately needed in society. Thanks to the connectivity of social 21st century technology, music has kept the world sane, optimistic, and in small doses at a time, joyful during this global pandemic; undoubtably, one of the most dark, chaotic and transformative periods in modern history. From D-Nice, to Verzuz, to every DJ, musician, and band in between, music creatives have been the entertainment MVPs of the pandemic. But of course, the overall MVPs is every single first responder and essential worker out there. We thank you and we love you.

As we all have, there are many things and many people in my life I have missed dearly during this era of “social distancing.” One for sure is rocking a big stage with a big audience. I miss you singing along to every word, I miss you screaming with enthusiasm in response to a song that you love, and I miss you dancing with every bit of energy in your body. So party people, until we can be together again, in honor of the 10th anniversary of The Demonstration series, which coincides with my 33rd birthday, I present to you, a “Demonstration” of what I call a #BigStagesOnly, “Dance Floor Burner” set.
