Hello everyone!
Our favorite DJ has had a busy January.
This new feature will recap some of DJ Ashton Martin’s greatest hits of the month and preview what he has in store for his fans next….
January 2013 Highlights
Zócalo success
Ashton continues to take Zócalo to new heights during his weekly set at the Plaza Mexican restaurant. While you dine on some of Zócalo’s amazing appetizers and entrees, Ashton will deliver some of the hottest mixes featuring some classic dance songs combined with Today’s Top 40 hits.
Super Sports Saturdays at the Well
Are you worried that you are going to miss the big games of the week? The Well in the history Waldo district has over 28 TVs plus two outdoor areas that include a lower level patio and a rooftop deck. After you celebrate or commiserate your team’s victory or defeat, you can catch Ashton spin your favorites on the Well’s stage.
Ashton invaded Baltimore
Ashton’s first road trip of 2013 took him to Baltimore, Maryland where he played at the original Mosaic. Ashton’s appearance lead to reunion of sorts as several former Kansas Citians caught his set. Currently, he continues to make monthly appearances at the Kansas City Mosaic.
DJ Battle II
The Second Annual DJ Battle was a success as eight top DJs (DJ TIP, DJ Mikey Mike, DJ Parle, DJ Nas, DJ Vinyl Richy, Geefer Sutherland, DJ Johnny Styles and DJ Ray Pena) of the area tried to not only impress Ashton and his fellow judges: Brian Collins and Brandon “DJ Highnoone” Noone but dozens of audience members. After eight seven-minute sets, DJ Vinyl Richy walked away with the top prize.
Due to the success of this event, in conjunction with event planning company KC Connect and the unanticipated attention of the Rane Corporation, The Annual DJ Battle has evolved into the Semi-Annual DJ Battle and will be back this summer with major sponsor: the Rane Corporation
What’s Ahead in February….
Red Vinyl
All throughout February, Ashton will be showing his support for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign by using red vinyl at all of his shows.
