Partied with Pauly D of the Jersey Shore

The DramaSquad DJ’s hosted an event with Jersey Shore’s Pauly D. Spinning House, Club Anthems, HipHop and even Rock, the club was like something out of Hollywood.
What would you expect when 10 DJ’s get together before the club while the famous one sends a fax at Kinko’s, and the girl behind the counter freaks out when she see’s Pauly D.
Guest Post: The Notorious BKS
The Best Kept Secret, or as he is known, The Notorious B.K.S., seemed to just come out of no where, but his roots are based inBoston Massachusetts. Growing up in Salem MA, The B.K.S. found a love for music at a very early age, always the avid performer, the B.K.S. would bring his pause mixtapes out on his porch for all in the neighborhood to hear, (whether they wanted to or not!).
Growing up in Hip Hop’s “Golden Era” The B.K.S. was like a musical sponge, soaking up not just the music, but the inspiration behind it. Once he saved up enough money to buy his first set of decks, he hit the ground running. Leaving Boston behind for college in PIttsburgh PA, The B.K.S. was able to bring his passion for music and hip hop to his fellow students. There was nothing he would not do, Frat Parties, Bars, Lounges, The B.K.S. was making moves without even being able to legally buy a drink. After graduation, he made his way home to Boston, with a chip on his shoulder and a truckload of records, it was time to grind. Hustling his way into a local club, he befriended a local legend, DJ Gee-Spin. Gee put him onto becoming a professional DJ, helping to mold and hone his skills. After that the sky was the limit, after touring and doing show after show, The B.K.S. still brings it with every set, the prowess of a veteran, and the prowess of a virtuoso.
The B.K.S. brings intense bass drops along with unheard of precision in his scratching creating a truly unique sound all his own. Combined with the energy and enthusiasm of a club goer instead of a dj, B.K.S.’s performance is an energy packed dance floor adventure. From Hip-Hop to Rock, Electro to Top 40’s there is no genre of music that is safe from The B.K.S.’s needles. A specialist of live show Mash-Ups He has established himself as one of Boston’s premiere dj’s. Performing at such venues as Shrine @ The MGM Grand, The Roxy, CBS Scene, and many other venues in the NorthEast. The B.K.S. can be found rocking the house almost every night of the week in the hottest city on the planet!
Freestyle+EuroDance
Usually when you ‘take it back to the oldschool’, you are listening to RunDMC and LL Cool J. Tonight you will be listening to some 90’s freestyle and dance music from the days of Roller Kingdom, The Palace, and the superclubs from 20 years ago.

2009: A Year In Review
Here we go, start to finish.
I met Dean Whitney and began working for him at GGI Agency. I went from a UNH Class of 2009 Geography Major, to an Online Marketing Professional and Digital Content Producer. Was I qualified? Probably not, but I kicked ass at my job.
I spun my largest party of 1200 people at the Worcester DCU Arena. I convinced most of my DJ friends to use the same DJ software that I use, Serato Scratch Live. I can publicly say that I cannot DJ without my laptop anymore.
I bought my 2nd iPhone the day that I was let go from my first job. I waited 2 hours in line to find out that I didn’t have a job to return to. Three weeks later, I got a job at a little company called HubSpot. I am now on the services team here, solving problems all day. My new job forced me to move out of New Hampshire, and down to Boston which has been quite an experience.

New Years Eve 2009-2010!
New Years Eve holds a special place in a DJ’s heart. I have spent the last 5 NYE events in various places in Boston; Gala’s, Nightclubs, and Lounges. I am out and about in Boston again this year.
For all of you who will not be out for NYE, I created a NYE mixtape. Be sure to follow the instructions for this mix, as it is timed exactly for the ball drop.
-When to start this mix!
11:00PM.
The mix has music for 1 hour, while being rudely interrupted by a countdown for the ball drop. This is followed by a 2nd reggaeton and RnB set! Check me out DJ David Gallant AKA Digital Reflex
