Minneapolis vinyl slinger QJ comes through with the latest mix in the DayFunk Presents series. A solid hour mix of chunky house with a heavy dose of soul - 100% on vinyl. 

This mix comes ahead of the DayFunk : Records Only party on 12/15/24 at Eat Street Crossing in Minneapolis. If you're in the area, we'd love to have you join us. Here's the details: https://www.facebook.com/share/1k4soVdZNsCWgBzi/

It's not about us...it's about "us". We're a community, a gathering of people who share a love for house music. Whether we were there from the beginning, or we just came in - we're all riding the waves of house. We've experienced the highs and lows, danced until dawn, and feel the pulse of the sound that helped define us.

Many of the legends who started it all are still out there, working their magic. They inspire us, and we pay tribute to them every month with events that go beyond just a party. It's a chance to connect, to enjoy the music that has shaped our lives, and to support the talented local artists who share our passion.

We want to invite you to be a part of our journey, to feel the moment, and experience the unity that house music brings. It's all happening right now, and we would love to have you join us.

DayFunk Presents : Records Only - Mixed By QJ

It's All Happening Right Now is an ode to the classic DJ mix tapes of the 1990's. 30 minutes each side, rather than the now standard hour or more mix session. The DJ needed to communicate a cohesive, yet short set that was designed to grab the listeners attention. A mix of house music classics, burners and bootlegs.

Nick's unique style of house music was instrumental in defining the sound of the Minneapolis club and underground house scene for over two decades. Nick started his career as a DJ in the late 90s, influenced by the Chicago hot mix style of dj'ing on B96 FM. In the early 2000s he spearheaded the Black club series at the First Avenue VIP Room, hosting exclusive events that brought world class house music to the Twin Cities.

Nick's signature sound draws from a wide range of influences, including French house, Chicago house, New York vocal house anthems and bootlegs. He has often been praised for his ability to blend nostalgic classics with contemporary bangers.
