For one of my most fun and exciting parties of the year I got to DJ the annual Onyx Blackout party aboard the Catalina Yacht on October 8, 2022. I got to play some of my favorite house tracks from Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay (Thunderpuss Mix), Free by Ultra Nate, Work that Body by Barbara Tucker, Robin S - Show Me Love, Armand Van Helden’s classic You Don’t Even Know Me, Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together (Peter Rauhofer Mix) and Deborah Cox - Absolutely Not! I even brought it back by request with classic Frankie Knuckles -Your Love, Paul Johnson - Get Down Down and Marshall Jefferson’s House Music Anthem. House music is my forte and I have DJed many house music clubs and parties going back to 2004. The party kicked into high gear with an amazing show from Crystal and Diana. Crystal rocked the crowd to Around the World by Lisa Stansfield and a Madonna Mix. Diana danced to Can't Get Enough of Your Love by Taylor Dayne and Don't Cha by Pussycat Dolls. Later on the guys really shook it to the new Beyonce - Heated and the Break My Soul Queens Mix with Madonna. Lizzo's music absolutely packed the dancefloor including her new tracks About Damn Time and 2 Be Loved. We wrapped up the night with Daft Punk-One More Time and The Wobble as we pulled into dock. The costumes were amazing and I absolutely had a blast DJing the Onyx Blackout Party! I hope the guys will have me back next year!
