Philadelphia Fashion Week 2009 – My Runway DJ Mixes

This weekend I participated in the first ever Philadelphia Fashion Week! It was an incredible event and I was asked to be the closing DJ for the closing night. I had the privilege of DJing the last 3 hours of the event as well as having the great opportunity to create 3 “runway DJ sets” for 3 different designers’ shows.

The first set was for SA VA.

After seeing some of SA VA’s looks online and watching interviews with SA VA herself, the feeling I got from her designs were meant to give the women who wore them a feeling of sexiness and beauty, but were coupled together by a hint of maturity. The set I came up with features the same elements that her designs invoke.

The second set I made was for men’s swimwear designers Parke and Ronen.

Although the designs they showed at PFW2009 are not available on their site yet, I did get a sneak peak at their look book prior to the event. Their designs are very interesting and they wanted the music to push the energy levels to the max. Between having very excited male models, vibrant designs and pulsing electro rock tunes, their show was my favorite moment of the night. I personally met with their marketing manager to come up with a feel for the set and I think we knocked it out of the park.

The final designer for the night was Melani Von Alexandria.

Melani’s designs are very powerful and dynamic. I felt that the perfect set of music would be songs that featured heavy bass synths and sexy vocals. The strong bass lines and soft vocals in all the songs were a perfect match for her looks and made for a fantastic finish for the night.

I was personally thanked by all the designers for how well all the music complimented their work. It made me very proud to be a part of the event and I’m glad I did some of Philly’s finest some justice since their city took very good care of me. I can’t wait for next year!

This is a FREE download. If you like what you hear and want to thank me, send your thanks and a little bit of motivation by heading over to the Support page . My work is always free to download and share and donations help fund my efforts and motivate me to make more for you. Thanks!

What happens when I use my own marketing techniques? Part One!

I’ve been pretty lax with how I’ve been using Twitter as far as a marketing tool. As part of the classes I’ll be teaching next month, I decided to start apply what I’ve been researching on myself. Last night I tried using the technique I found to get at least 50 – 100 new followers on Twitter a day. So how did I do?

I received over 140+ new followers instead! This makes me feel confident that what I’m teaching will be effective! I’m excited! I’m even more excited about TwitterCounter.com‘s prediction that I may have 3,000 followers in 30 days time! Let’s hope!

I’ll post more experiments in the coming days!

EDIT: This image is now out of date. Two days later, the number jumped to 464! Over 200+ new followers all in less than an hour’s work!

Insanity Work Out – Day One Results

As you may know, I started the Beachbody.com workout “Insanity” back on August 24th. On that post you can see my original Day One stats. Since then I haven’t truly been consistent with the work out. I decided to restart the workout today and I compared my stats from then to today’s results. What I saw was shocking!

I actually had overall, a 50.4% increase in reps! I can’t believe I grew that much even though I skipped almost two weeks of the workout! I’m shocked! I hope to keep up with everything starting today so I can really see some amazing results.

The Day One results for Jeff Ramos doing the Insanity Workout

I had a great birthday weekend filled with lots of food that wouldn’t help anyone reach their weight loss goals. Here are my current statistics:

Weight: 163
Switch Kicks: 115 (9.5% increase)
Power Jacks: 60 (20% increase)
Power Knees: 125 (13% increase)
Power Jumps: 44 (175% increase!!!)
Globe Jumps: 15 (50% increase)
Suicide Jumps: 15 (87.5% increase)
Push Up Jacks: 23 (53% increase)
Low Planks 60 (5% decrease)

Time to stick with Insanity this time!

DOWNLOAD: Brooklyn Royalty Spring Collection 2010 – Live Mix #2

Here’s the 2nd and final live mix from the Brooklyn Royalty Spring Collection 2010 party. If you missed the first one, grab it here.

DIRECT DOWNLOAD – Brooklyn Royalty SP2010 – Part Two

NOTES:
Like the first one, you may notice portions where the sound drops low and loops for a little bit longer than it should. Those changes are intentional considering this was a live event and some announcements were made during my set. Either way, there is plenty to enjoy!

DOWNLOAD: Brooklyn Royalty Spring Collection 2010 – Live Mix #1

Album art for the Brooklyn Royalty Live recording sessions for the Spring 2010 Collection.

Here’s a 32 minute snippet of the 4 hour set I did at Brooklyn Royalty’s Spring Collection 2010 party that was held on 09.09.09 in Williamsburg, NY.

DIRECT DOWNLOAD – Brooklyn Royalty SP2010 – Part One

NOTES:
There are points in this recording when the sound may get lower and that’s intentional. This is a live recording of an event, so at certain times I lower the sound and looped parts a little longer than normal to make way for announcements.

Also, for what it’s worth, it’s not the smoothest recording. It’s hard DJing without headphones to cue with and a monitor to make sure all my levels and mixing are on point. But overall, it’s still pretty solid listening! Part Two, which is over an hour long, will be out shortly!
