This is a segment of the set from REAL BAD XVIII, held at 1015 in San Francisco on September 24, 2006. REAL BAD is an annual party, held immediately following the Folsom Street Fair, and benefitting AIDS Charities in the Bay area; REAL BAD XVIII raised $115,000 dollars. The event starts at 7:00 pm, Sunday evening, and goes until 4:00 am on Monday morning; yes, that's right, nine hours, and one DJ. This section of the night is from about 1:10 am to 2:30 am; it represents the end of the "Peak" set and the beginning of the "Morning" set; it was selected from the full set by the GRGR/West team to be given to REAL BAD party hosts, as a "thank you" for their work in selling tickets to the event.
REAL BAD XVIII changed me forever, and not only as a DJ. I was honored to have been chosen from a field of 24 DJs who were invited to submit for consideration. Every year a new DJ is chosen, someone who hasn't played to a crowd of over 300 in San Francisco previously, and the committee takes a chance with each selection. That night was the fulfillment of a dream for me, and I may never have a better one, but I'll keep trying.
I hope you will enjoy this segment of the night. If you want to hear the full recording, it's available on my Website as a free download.

Remember: The music is love, and we're all part of that.
