The cable network acknowledged the shift from the brink of fall to the waning days of summer by transforming the Pacific Design Center’s fountain plaza into a wonderland setting for what event designer Billy Butchkavitz called “an enchanted evening by the sea.” He added, “I got to have fun with it because it was in the summertime.” When speaking with Billy about his vision, he gave me two ideas to build my set around. The idea of a luxurious sound that one may enjoy while vacationing by the sea and the inspiration for that sound was a song Billy suggested called Night & Day. I used Night & Day as the "leitmotif," or recurring theme/musical idea and used the three instances of the song in this mix as pivot points to go in other directions of vibes and feeling. This set was played with 3 drummers who also did their own thing at times throughout the night. After the Jazz grooves we got into dancing music and all and it was a great night. I even wore a suit that was 'Salmon,' or kind of pink...so did the drummers! I don't mind costumes at all as this isn't just a dj thing, it's a spectacular spectacle. A breezy and celebratory evening under the stars entertaining the entertainers and I'm glad that I can share what that sounds like. Footprints On The Moon - Johnny Harris Night & Day - ?
