Ashmead Sessions #4 by fewsionmedia

Last month I had the opportunity to dj two gigs during gay pride week in DC. One of the parties was for an WEAVE's launch of showmelovedc.org.

My homie and dj friend, Cuzzin B is celebrating his birthday this memorial day weekend at Station 9 (1439 U Street, NW Washington, DC). If you know me, you know this dude is one of the reasons I decided to become a deejay. We colaborated on a successful mix a few years back called 'Summer Bliss'. I picked the tunes and he mixed it. He told me that I had a good ear and I was shocked. Then I heard the mix. Still one of my favorites to this day.

If you like to dance, take a trip down memory lane and hear good music, check this event out. Cuzzin B will be joined by DJ Face and True School's Ninth Wonder. RSVP to trueschoolcorporation@gmail.com and get in for free.99.

Don't wait until the last minute to drop by as it's scheduled to run from 7-8pm (8:30 at the latest).    

I played the HELL out of that record!  My mother had to endure the most with my repeated plays of 'Rock With You', 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' and my personal all-time favorite, 'I Can't Help It.'  I danced and sang with all my might and obsessively watched the lights flash.  

You couldn't tell me there was anybody better than Michael Jackson when I was a kid.  In my opinion he was the best dancer, singer and more.  I recall a conversation with my mother  and her comment about how well someone on Soul Train could dance.  I would reply, 'not as good as Michael Jackson. '  There was no doubt in my mind that Michael was the man.  

I was also fortunate to see Mike live for the Off The Wall tour.  I remember standing the whole time at the Capital Centre in a sky suite, dancing and singing along with every song.  What an experience.  

Over the years there were other memorable moments.  Such as the whole family sitting up to watch the premier of the landmark 'Thriller' video, watching the Motown 25 special and attempting (and failing) to do the moonwalk the next day.  I am STILL jealous of Maddie Johnson from elementary school because she went to RFK Stadium to see the Jackson's Victory tour.  

Mike went on to be the biggest entertainer that we could imagine.  Going on to influence a generation of singers, dancers and dreamers.  The new kids are still chasing after him.  

Forever will his music touch my heart and move me to 'shake my body down to the ground.'  Thank you Michael for the music and memories.
