The Great DJ
Marjana Jaidi / June 25, 2009
Last night, The HiFi Cartel stepped out with a preview event at Mr. West, featuring HiFi Contest Winner DJ M, Nick Catchdubs, Adam Tensta and DJ Price.
DJ M (a.k.a. Matt Heckman) proved himself worthy of your votes, putting his unique spin on old favorites. Highlights included mixes of Dance Dance Dance (Lykke Li), Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) and my personal favorite, M.I.A.’s Paper Planes mixed with Loser by Beck.
We’ve seen Nick Catchdubs spin all over the city, so it came as no surprise that his set was off the hook, flowing seamlessly between genres. His set ranged from remixed club tracks to Fool’s Gold favorites like A-Trak’s Say Woah and Shake it Down (with Laidback Luke). We also loved his shout-out to Santigold, playing both Creator and a great remix of Shove It (for which we are still searching).
DJ Price teased with the Rusko remix of Pro Nails (Kid Sister) at the start of his predominately electro set. Adam Tensta hyped the crowd before taking the stage for a few songs, including his hit single, My Cool. Price manned the decks for the rest of the night, briefly joined by DJ M for a high-energy cameo.
Thank you to everyone who helped us with the event and showed their support.
