This guy DJ'd a private P date

I just read this article by a DJ who played last minute for P.

Thought someone else might find it interesting. Hope it's not a repost.

I'd forgotten all about this but read it right after he passed. I thought it was a good story. Thanks for the reminder smile

Not sure if this one has it, as I couldn't get it to open, but the version I read had his set list, which was really cool. I listed to each song.

I read another interview with the DJ and he said it was around the time Prince attended Coachella. I remember reading that he attended in 2014 so maybe it was around that time.

Playing until 4:30 in the morning. No moves by Prince on the woman while in the bar (for like 4 hours!). This story is hilarious. I wonder who the woman was.

So cool, has anyone built the playlist in Spotify etc? Let's recreate the date!
I'm looking out for a purple dolphin.

I made it a point to listen to the 2 songs that P sent the gal over to ask the DJ what they were, especially the 2nd one cuz he asked it to be played on loop. I wanted to see what P found so compelling about them.

Nice idea. They both had the same beat & tempo and were funky grooves heavy on drums. But I LOVED "Blacker". I saved it to play again. For some reason it made me cry. I think it's because it sounds like music Prince would've grown up with, he isn't here to listen to music he loved anymore, and I got such a close look at what caught his ear.

Yes, Blacker is an excellent song to put on repeat. What did you think of the songs?

Just because I felt like it, here are the links for anyone who's interested

If I had only one guess, I'd say that it was Andy Allo.
