From City Lights, to The Lost Abbey, to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/gigs\/\" title=\"Gig's Music Theater (circa 1998)\">Gig&#8217;s Music Theater<\/a>, to The Eclipse, and finally to Studio 99, I spun practically every possible genre &#8212; alternative, industrial, punk, goth, 80&#8217;s retro, new wave, disco, swing, techno, house, trance, and even (though I grumbled a lot) the occasional top-40 and R&amp;B &#8212; and had an absolute blast doing it.<\/p>\n<p>I finally got tired of letting my old domain sit inactive after moving my weblog to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.typepad.com\/\" title=\"TypePad\">TypePad<\/a>, and have resurrected <a href=\"http:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/\" title=\"A brief history of DJ W\u00fcdi\">djwudi.com<\/a> as a monument (however small) to my years as a club DJ. In addition to some oddly third-person ramblings about my career, there are no less than (though no more than) eleven different mix sessons posted and available for either download or streaming audio listening. Ten of them are even worth listening to &#8212; the eleventh (Difficult Listening Hour 03) has some <em>truly<\/em> horrendous trainwrecking going on, and I only leave it posted out of my anal-retentive need for a complete set.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, feel free to stop by, download or stream the mixes that are there, and (hopefully) enjoy! Who knows &#8212; I may not have a club gig anymore, but since I&#8217;ve still got my equipment and a ton of music, there&#8217;s always a slim chance that there may be more in the future&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As an added bonus, I&#8217;ve resurrected the last archived version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.djwudi.com\/gigs\/\" title=\"Gigs Music Theater (circa 1998)\">Gig&#8217;s Music Theater<\/a> website that I maintained for the club. This archive dates from March 30, 1998, and serves both as a nostalgic remembrance of one of the best all-ages clubs in Anchorage&#8217;s history, and as a monument to my web design and coding skills at the time. ;) Hopefully some of Gig&#8217;s old patrons might get a kick out of this (especially the pictures in the &#8216;Scene&#8217; section)! I also have an archive of old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/photos\/oldflyers\/\" title=\"Old Gig's Music Theater flyers\">flyers for Gig&#8217;s<\/a> that I made, though I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/djwudi.typepad.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/08\/flyers_from_gig.html\" title=\"Flyers from Gig's Music Theater\">mentioned those before<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got tired of letting my old domain sit inactive, and have resurrected djwudi.com as a monument (however small) to my years as a club DJ, along with a 1998 archive of the Gig&#8217;s Music Theater website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2040,2045,2043],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-2093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-djwudi","category-personal","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2093\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
