Heap Big Hustle at the Half Moon!

Our long-time friend $mall ¢hange has been a professional DJ since forever. He does weddings, bar mitzvahs, happy hours, sad hours, dance parties, art openings, bake sales, wakes, beach parties, car hops, sock hops, bunny hops—anything that requires music, he is there. Well, we’re not sure if he does all that anymore, but one thing we are sure of is that he is a most excellent club DJ and he’s been doing that for most of his adult life—and one suspects much of his teen years, too! When he lived in New York City he seemed to have an event nearly every night of the week. A few years ago he relocated to the Hudson Valley. He still goes down the river to DJ from time to time, but lately he’s been working his magic at an establishment in Hudson, NY called The Half Moon— it’s a half-pizza joint and half night club that is located across the street from the Hudson River. $mall ¢hange is there at least once a month. In April they gave him Saturday the 19th and he subsequently asked DJs Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus to come swing with him.

It was a gas to watch $mall ¢hange spin his records… he’s so good at it! Pete Pop, of course, was in excellent form, playing a bunch of boss jams: Latin soul, cumbia, funk, garage rock. Miss Nancy made some sweet vittles that were shared amongst the faithful and a bunch friends made it over the bridge from Kingston in order to dig the scene.
