SOULSKAT X ROD CHROLON - TRUE VINYL 4.0

Here's a photo re-cap courtesy of our soul brother Soulskat of SOULSKAT PHOTOGRAPHY.

The dude is NICE with the lens, so we invited him out to capture the happenings of TRUE VINYL. As usual DJ R.C. jumped right into performance mode and began his musical journey for the evening with a classic jam off the Digable Planets Blowout Comb LP. This set the tone for the evening letting everyone know that DJ R.C. was covering all genres, but keeping it true to his roots and the Hip-Hop art form. Samples, Breaks, Drums...

A Wedding From A DJ's Point if View

On June 11, 2011 Rod Chrolon provided outstanding DJ/MC Services as a one man show (per client request), for the C. & S. Lopez Wedding.

Rod arrived ahead of schedule as usual, and was shocked to see the hall had not been completed. Amongst other key points such as chair covers, the overhanging centerpiece over the center of the dancefloor was not completed until 20 after guests where supposed to enter the hall. But with a Host Bar and the best little bruschetta bites the glitch went unnoticed.
For the first time Rod could remember his set up and sound check was complete before the hall was finished. (Pause for Host Bar)

As you can see in the photos from the second the guests entered the room DJ R.C. captivated the audience with his diverse and familiar musical proramming experience.

As soon as we celebrated the formalities of the reception. DJ R.C. had the dancefloor packed all night long. The host bar must have put energy in the drinks cause Rod had this crowd on their feet for two and a half hours straight.

Rod wound the crowd down just before Midnight and ended the night with the Bride & Grooms request Copa Cabana.

The eighty dollar tip from the groom was proof that Rod not only pleased the crowd, he played new music and introduced them to his skills on the turntables and as an MC.
