The original was produced by Stonebridge for Champion Records, but it's back for a remix treatment by Steve Angello and Laidback Luke. The video...eh...a little weak, but what did you expect in these harsh economic times—a masterpiece? No, we didn't think so. Just enjoy the music and forget about the tacky motion graphics.

There's nothing like being friends with the DJ, lol. I shot this video from the booth at Aero (off 23rd and Collins) on Saturday night, March 28, sometime around 3 AM. The club was jumping as AVH kicked his classic hits, including My, My, My, Witch Doktor, Full Moon and more. The crowd was having such a good time, this dude started throwing money around...literally! He threw a stack of dollar bills up in the air. Too bad it wasn't C-notes. I guess it's the economy and he must have been holding back.

DJ Elyse ingenious digital promo vehicle: a pill bottle containing a $3 usb drive
I just got this pill bottle from DJ Elyse (systemaddix.com). It’s got a USB drive containing her latest mix show. I knew this was gonna happen one day, I just didn’t know when. Props to Elyse for the ingenuous marketing idea of the day.
On the label, she wrote:

“Unlimited Refills”
“Making Productions America Trusts”
“May Cause Euphoria. Alcohol May Intensify This Effect. Use Care When Operating A Car Or Other Damgerous Machinery.”
