When you spend days deep in conference sessions, you need to trade spreadsheets for sunglasses. On September 24th, the Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel turned into a coastal paradise for the Avalara CRUSH Beach Bash, and as the DJ for the night, I can tell you it was next-level.
Stepping inside felt like walking onto a sun-drenched beach at dusk. With ocean-blue lighting washes, golden-hour amber uplighting, and lush tropical greenery, attendees ditched their conference blazers for resort-casual vibes.
The custom Lifeguard Tower DJ Booth with a beachfront backdrop really integrated with the island vibe nicely. Sitting centerstage in the tower gave me a great view to pump out high-energy line dances, tropical anthems, and crowd-pleasing remixes that kept the dance floor going.
Huge shoutout to the planners and the incredible crowd for bringing unmatched energy. Until next time, Fort Lauderdale—keep the bass heavy and the breeze close! - DJ ELOW
