Wick-It the Instigator and DJ Crumbz took the titles for Nashville’s best DJ’s in the Red Bull Thre3Style contest Tuesday night. Hundreds of supporters came out to The Cannery for a night of DJ and dance mayhem. Red Bull paraphernalia decorated the room, along with sweet visual Video screens by PlayMe Art and a festively appropriate DJ photo-booth by Generationdomination.

Eight DJ’s; Dorian, Wick-It, Mike Allison, Braddy Daddy, DJ Crumbz, Cliffy D, ROBOT EARS and Fan Fiction were put to the test to see who had the best spinning skills. Each took turns playing a selection of at least three genres or styles of music in 15 minutes. DJ Rob Swift, Al D Words, Drew Mischke, DJ Don Juan and myself judged on their track-selection, technical skills, creativity and their ability to bring the house down. Dorian lit the turntables on fire (literally) and gave the records a spin with his foot, but in the end Wick-It the Instigator and DJ Crumbz claimed the tables. DJ Rob Swift closed the night out with his mad DJ skills.

The two DJ winners will fly to Miami next Friday the 26th to compete at the Red Bull Thre3Style Regional Final taking place at Winter Music Conference, the week-long electronic dance music event. Best of luck in representing Music City boys!

Eight of Nashville’s best DJs will battle it out Tuesday night for the chance to be crowned the city’s best for the Red Bull Thre3Style competition. Get your dance shoes on, this place is going to be thumping! Dorian, Wick-It, Mike Allison, Braddy Daddy, DJ Crumbz, Cliffy D, ROBOT EARS and Fan Fiction will be put to the test to see who has the best spinning skills. DJ Rob Swift, will take over the tables after helping judge the competition. Each hand selected contestant will have 15 minutes to mix three different genres of music and win over the judges and the crowd.

I am honored to be one of the judges marking scores based on song selections, creativity, skill, swagger and audience reaction. This show is at The Cannery Ballroom, March 16th and it’s free! I hope to see you there!

Sudden pop superstar Kesha (pictured) was seen playing in the photobooth at Mai late Friday night. The performer was there for Bang Out which featured DJ sets by Skeet Skeet, Coach and Jamwerks. Apparently, after taking pics Kesha left but returned to break it down on the dance floor literally, because according to Steph spies she even slipped.

Country singer Dierks Bentley was spotted hanging at Lime Saturday night.

Martini Mondays at Miro District drew country singer Chuck WIcks , rock band November along with Titans Vince Young and Keith Bullock out to the restaurant last week.

Steph spies report seeing John Rich taking a Sunday drive in his Bentley on Hillsboro Pike.

The Nashville Predators and Patrón kicked off their new partnership with a pre-game ribbon-cutting ceremony and spirits tasting held in the Patrón Platinum Club prior to Thursday night’s game vs. the Los Angeles Kings. Patrón has taken over what many know as The Jack Daniels bar at the arena.

We stopped by the Patrón Platinum Club for dinner, before the game, and I was impressed with the spread. The all you can eat “Contemporary American” menu covered all the basis from salads and appetizers to main dishes and delicious desserts like chocolate bread pudding. The cooks claim to “infuse cooking techniques from cultures throughout the world prepared with an American interpretation.”

Upstairs from the restaurant is the Ultimat Martini Lounge, which offers an exciting selection of wines, microbrews and mixed drinks highlighting several ultra-premium Patrón products. Check out the Patrón Platinum Club for yourself, before attending your favorite sporting event or concert.

After eating, I had the honor of sitting “on the glass” for the game. If you’ve never sat that close during a hockey game, I highly suggest it. The action you experience makes the ticket worth every penny! It even scored us a shot on the jumboTron! One of the most fun nights I’ve had this year, without a doubt!

I’m still singing and dancing from Wednesday nights fun at The 5 Spot! Washboards, fiddles, banjos, dobros and instruments alike filled the small bar in East Nashville, for the weekly Wednesday Night Old Time Jam. A square dance with both young and old folks was held in honor of the gatherings three year anniversary, with Daniel Allen Frazier Junior calling the dances.

The Wednesday Night Old Time Jam is free and welcomes both musicians and non-musicians. Just bring an instrument and join in the jam or sit back and remind yourself why you love Music City. For a real throw back of the old time, I assure you this party is one heck of a good time!

According to the events myspace page, the event “provides enthusiasts of traditional, acoustic-based roots music the opportunity to regularly meet, share tunes, dance, swap stories, and bond together in general camaraderie.”
