haha! i suppose i am wise beyond my years.

so! good portland djs.

now, this will need a disclaimer. so here you are: i am biased. my boyfriend is a dj. coincidentally, he is portland's BEST dj, and i am not the only one who thinks so. i thought he was the best dj here before i even knew him.
so, now that we've got that covered....
here is the advice:
if you go to the bar "tube" (3rd and wburnside) almost any night of the week, you will be treated to many of portland's finest djs. tuesday nights my man dj nightschool spins obscure 80s, art punk, girl punk (not annoying girl punk, but like the slits and the flowers). his night is called "no disco".
sundays dj sew what spins hip hop at tube for "i got 5 on it". her night is always packed with her punk friends who sing along to r. kelly. tube has great, cheap drinks, sassy and attractive bartenders, and it looks like the inside of a spaceship.

every other saturday, dj nightschool does suicide club. i've already explained that a little, it a lot more of a dance night than no disco, and veeery debaucherous, so it's always a lot of fun. sometimes he has bands play. his main band, gossip, is playing the next sc (may 21st) because they just recorded a new record. it will be a fabulous time.

also on tuesdays, if you want more of a rocker vibe, go to kelly's olympian. it's on washington (i think) downtown. dj makeout spins there, sometimes with guests.

sundays at towne lounge (nw 22nd and morrison i think) dj dantronix is spinning. he does dance hits mostly. wednesdays at tube dantronix does "vinyl and video" where he plays music videos and djs stuff like nine inch nails.

one more! the last saturday of each month, dj sew what does "$ummer bounce" at dunes. (it's been called "spring bling" and "spring break" and "$ummer bounce" is the latest name i guess.) it's dirty hip hop and the dance floor is packed with people freaking.

if you want to get a taste for dj nightschool, he's djing on monday at holocene (se 10th and morrison) for the die monitr batss show. dmb is another of his bands. kill me tomorrow, supersystem and we quit also playing. if you go you can support local band dmb and have a good time.

have any more questions?
