Spotlight: Alternative Video
If you’re looking for those hard to define, impossible to identify songs and “forgotten” classics you’re likely to hear on your favorite Internet or college station, don’t overlook the trove of cutting-edge tunes and throwbacks you’ll find each month on Alternative Video. Dip your ears into this sonic buffet and we'll fill your head with the sounds of artist such as Miike Snow, Bob Moses, Depeche Mode, Glass Animals, STRFKR, COIN, Misfits, Phantogram, and more — all playable as audio-only via any software that supports MPEG4 and downloadable as bite-sized files via our 360p option. Who knows better than you that not all great music is on the radio dial. For more about Alternative Video visit: promoonly.com
It might not be your definition of the perfect gig, but if you've been asked to DJ an office party, there are ways of doing it well, and ways of messing it up. Digital DJ Tips Presents... 7 Things Most DJs Do Wrong At Office Parties Truth is, DJs who do a good job of playing office parties are few and far between. Maybe it's because nobody expects any better. Maybe it's because the DJ is an afterthought, or there's not much budget left. Whatever the reason, it's a fact: ask anyone you know how good the DJ was at his or her last three office parties. For educational purposes, we’ve compiled a few of the most common mistakes many DJs make. Avoid these and you'll deliver a better set than most. Beauty is, the bar is set so low that it honestly takes relatively little work to do well. 1. They fail to talk to the organizer Sure, the venue may tell you when you're meant to start and stop. But is that really enough? Office parties tend to have speeches by CEOs, maybe a few awards to be given out, usually a buffet or more formal meal, maybe even a novelty photographer or other entertainment. Running-order wise, they can have the complication factor of weddings (with the stakes lowered considerably, of course). Ask how would the organizer like you to fit in around all these things. Is there anything they need? Any special music you can add to make it more fun? Talking to the organizer both in advance and on the night shows you care and allows you to do a more professional job. 2. They play too full-on, too early This is not a rave. There are a hundred other things going on both in the itinerary and the minds of everyone there. It's no surprise that free bars and wine on tap with meals are an integral part of most office dos - it takes extra time and booze to bring down the barriers of office politics and the wariness between bosses and workers before people start even wanting to be there, let alone dance. Play a long game. Smashing out EDM number ones within an hour of everyone arriving assuming everyone will miraculously dance is a deluded tactic.

Creating Connections with Mitch Taylor:
It was 1993 and I was about to start the pilot program to earn an Associates Degree of Science from New England School Of Broadcasting (now Communications). It was a wild year. I was working at the campus radio station, partying hard like any college student. That summer my hometown of Dexter Maine had been granted an FM license to open a new radio station. This was a GIFT for a kid trying to break into radio. I remember seeing the lights on in the downtown Dexter building and 102.1 WGUY emblazoned across its front window as I swallowed the lump in my throat and opened the door. That was when I first met Dan and Jocelynn Priestly. Dan was wiry man with sandy blond hair who pretty much ALWAYS had a cigarette to his lips; Jocelynn was a brunette always done up with make-up and 90’s hair. I introduced myself and learned that the station wasn’t even on-air yet. Dan encouraged me to fill out an application (for what position I have no idea but I was filling out a radio station application -- I’m ONE STEP closer to my goal!!!) and said they’d be in touch. I kept going back to the station, popping in every week or so just to see how things were going. Dan told me he admired my enthusiasm and encouraged me to “keep darkening doors…that’s how you get work, son”. Ultimately he hired me to be the Public Service Director and Sales Person for 102.1 WGUY-FM. September 15th this year I found out through Facebook that Dan had died of cancer. I wished I had known he was sick when I was in Maine just a few weeks prior. I wished I had dedicated part of my book to him. Dan gave me my very first sales job ever. Certainly without him I wouldn’t be who I am today. I learned so much from Dan and I hope to pass a few of his lessons on to you here…
Tuesday night, 9:37pm: Jocelynn and I had a wonderful conversation, catching up and reminiscing for almost 45 minutes about the man who inspired us both, the man she loved and the man who gave so much back to his local area through his business acumen and communication. Thank you Jocelynn and Dan for the life lessons you taught me and for giving me a shot at this crazy world of sales. Dan: Raise a glass with your mentor Bob Mooney. You deserve it, my friend.
