Last night I had my first chance to DJ here in Chile! As it turns out, Café Journal is probably the most hoppin’ night life spot in Vina, and you can actually see the place from our apartment’s terraza (see photo). Every night around midnight a mass of Chileans and foreign students descend on Journal to drink like fish and smoke like there is no tomorrow (cough cough). They have 3 rooms with music ranging from pop to hip-hop to TECHNO! Most of the DJs play on CDs but the techno DJs we’ve heard there play awesome music. The day we moved in we stopped by to have a drink and we were lucky enough to meet the manager. We stopped by again on Saturday and they agreed to let me do a set there. How cool is that? It was so much more relaxed than booking arrangements in Portland. I played for about 2 hours and it went really well, the place was packed and although it’s not an open dance floor people danced and everyone seemed to enjoy my sound and technique. With any luck this will be just the beginning! Sadly we didn’t get any pics so I took this one from our deck and this other one is from a few nights ago.
