DJ AM @ Funkshion After-Party


All I can say is: the dude knows his stuff. He was mixing ALL kinds of crazy material into wondrous, rapturous creations. There was Guns N' Roses, Queen, Daft Punk, MIA on 3 different occasions, Salt N' Peppa and El DeBarge for chrissakes!
The party was at the Adriano Goldschmied store on Washington. A jeans store is not AM's usual venue but since Pepsi was paying I guess he was game. The setting was perfect - free drinks, intrepid waiters offering spring rolls amidst bumping hipsters - the store transformed into a small club. I don't often talk about the DJ scene here in Miami (I leave it to the experts), but I do keep track of its movements like a well-meaning anthropologist enough to know that AM is a much-lauded master of the craft. Last night I was truly floored by DJ AM's talent and could not help but dance, dance, dance until I hobbled home with my g-fly Rachel (who was so enamored of AM's boyish good looks she almost grabbed him off the DJ platform and ravished him. Free booze and amazing spinning will do that to a girl. He is, admittedly, incredibly adorable as all the models and party girls could not help but dance right up against his DJ stand.) Plus, Timbaland showed up! It was off the hook.
