Hot Gay DJ – Besties

If you didn’t make it out last night, boys and girls, you really should’ve. So much talent, so many venues – 1181 and J-Lounge were PACKED. Check Xtra next week for full profiles on the DJ competitors along with a special profile on a special someone who is coming to Vancouver later this summer.

It wouldn’t be a competition if I didn’t get to give out some besties to the nine DJs who came out to amaze.

Best Mix: DJ Kristen C

When this girl mixed Rihanna’s Rude Boy into Robin S’s Show Me Love, the crowd at 1181 exploded.

Best Outfit: DJ Marty Funkhauser

Bedazzled Elvis suit and dirty funk vinyl? Girl, you know it’s true.

Looking forward to the finale in August!
