last night we started the night off at manray in first hill with some drinks and chatting, where we met up with two more people who went to architecture school with us. i wanted to go to see d:fuse who was playing in town at a club downtown, so we headed over to last supper club for his show just before midnight. d:fuse is from austin whose sound is more progressive trance/house. all the shows of his i went to in austin were really awesome so i didn’t have any doubts that this one would be any worse. of course i was right… his set was awesome and this was probably the first club i’ve been to here that had more of my type of music (finally!). the only thing that sucks about the night scene here is that everything closes at 2am, so we were kicked out quickly at 2 when d:fuse’s set was over. i miss the club scene in nyc where you can go to a dj show all night long… leaving as the sun is rising at 6 or 7 in the morning! though i’m not sure if my current sleeping habits would allow for that anymore.

today my friends are heading east of the cascades to the sasquatch music festival in central washington, though i’m staying in seattle since that’s not really my music scene (although there are some artists i like performing). tonight dj eva, who i saw at a club once last time i was in seattle for a studio research trip a little over a year ago, is playing at seesound in belltown. she’s really good as well… a little more trance than d:fuse’s progressive sounds.

at the beginning of june, above and beyond are playing here at the last supper club, so i’m definitely going to that as well since they are awesome djs as well. hopefully this good dj schedule continues through the summer… if only dj tiesto would make an appearance here. going to these shows and watching them perform live makes me want to really focus on mixing and producing my own stuff, which i have been experimenting with more recently. looks like i’ll just really have to devote a lot more time to it (along with everything else, of course…).
