Happy New Year to everyone! I don’t know what you have planned for this year but I hope you make it all happen. I’ve got tons planned and it’s already starting to come to fruition. I’ll be sending out the first in a new mix series called “Footnotes” with my next email blast so look for that. It’s a Hip-Hop mix series with an educational aspect and it’s super fun. Trust me, you’re going to love it. Speaking of good stuff to listen to…
Extra Credit Podcast with DJ Zimmie
I recently launched my podcast, Extra Credit, and it’s available for free through the iTunes store. I’ll be interviewing veteran DJs mostly with the occasional respected performer or producer. On the podcast I get the DJ’s story of how they got started, some advice for younger DJs and see where it goes. I’ve got some big names lined up for future interviews so make sure to subscribe and you’ll get the new episodes right to your phone or iTunes. Episode 1 features Seattle veteran Supreme La Rock.

Mud on the Mountain – 7 Springs – 11.3.2012
Modern Event Solutions
Getting married? Having a private function or a corporate event? Check out the site for my special events company, Modern Event Solutions and LIKE us on Facebook.
If you haven’t watched my awesome political campaign video, do it now!
On November 3rd, 7 Springs hosted another Mud on the Mountain obstacle course race and it was my job to get everyone hyped up at the starting line. This race I had my work cut out for me because a few days before, a freak blizzard dumped 26 inches of snow on the resort. I was worried the race would be cancelled but then I remembered that everyone who signed up is insane and almost 3,000 people ran the course. Despite freezing conditions everyone was in high spirits and you would’ve thought it was 80 degrees outside.

DJ Zimmie October 2012 Newsletter
Big news this month! I’ve been hard at work on the website for my private function / corporate event / wedding business and it’s finally done. The fine folks at R1 Creative did a brilliant job on it and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re having a school, corporate or private function, getting married or just need a great DJ with top-notch sound and lighting, look no further. Check out the site and see what I’ve been up to when I’m not at the club.
I told you in the last email that we’ve been having a busy, crazy awesome Summer in Portland. If you haven’t already, check out my full post and see all the pics and details.
On the down low, I’m working on a new mixtape project. Let’s just say that it involves sample-based Hip-Hop, it’s going to be huge and it’s going to take me the rest of my life to finish. More details very soon…
