DJ AM’s Welcome Home party went down Tuesday night in LA and it was easily the party of the year…if not years. A lot of people wanna hate on AM (aka Adam Goldstein) cos of the whole “celebrity DJ” angle, but that’s just cos kids are ignorant — AM’s an extremely adept technical DJ and great party-rocker, and if there is any doubt to his street credibility, it should be erased by the caliber of DJs that showed up to play for free: Cut Chemist, Mixmaster Mike, Mark Ronson and Steve Aoki, plus performers like Will.I.Am, Uffie, Dirt Nasty and Danny Masterson (who also spun).
The party was slathered in X-Facter, that intangible quality that elevates a party to a Banger. Maybe it was cos the hometown crowd was showing love to AM and his lucky-ass life, maybe it was the supreme level of DJs, or maybe it was simply the free booze. Who knows. All I know is everyone there had a cheek-to-cheek smile of stupidity carved on their faces. Good times.
All proceeds went to the families of the 4 people that died on the fatal plane crash on Sept 19, and everyone – including performers – paid.
Some really good pics by CobraSnake, or just hit the Jump for more pics…
Mark Ronson on the 1s and 2s, incorporating his new David Bowie/Austin Powers/Elvis Costello look. He’s even taken to talking in a British accent now…cheeky…
Dirt Nasty performing his best song, “1980“…
Aoki flips his hair around, Will.I.Am takes a moment to give some shout-outs between counting his piles of cash…
Cisco Adler, Schwayze and Danny Masterson
The Ed Banger “Hot Chick”, Uffie of course, closes out the night…
Peep Dirt Nasty’s hilarious “1980” video…yes, that’s the old MTV vj who supposedly did a gay porn…
