Jam out with some ice cold beats

DJ Big Daddly B February 2022

Welcome to BAR BEATS, with Big Daddly B!

I put this set together based on a lot of the music I discovered over the pandemic, old and new. I’ve been djing around Austin for 10+ years, everything from soul, to hip hop, to indie dance, but kept finding myself circling back to house and dance music. During the pandemic, I used the time to hone my craft and expand my library. Owning a dance club during 2020 allowed me to spend many nights in an empty club playing on the cdjs for hours while the doors remained locked, hoping there would be a time when I would be able to play to a packed club again. Though we are still amidst a pandemic I’ve been lucky enough to play to packed rooftops of mask wearers dancing the night away.
