DJ ELLE AT SWAY AN OXY COTTONTAIL PRODUCTIONS

Ok so we hit SWAY located at 305 Spring St., New York, NY 10013 between Hudson and Greenwich Sts. (212-620-5220) last Monday night to hear DJ Elle spin. We have had a couple of false starts with some “other” female DJ’s the last couple of weeks so we were looking to get back on track .



Mondays are often known as industry Night so the folks that head out to party on Mondays are serious club goers who know what they want and how to have a good time. This Monday was no exception and with the promotional help of the ultra hip Oxy Cottontail (www.oxycottontail.com) it looked to be a very interesting evening .SWAY is a Moroccan inspired lounge with a cavernous feel. The lighting is muted and very sexy the crowd is very cool, very hip and has some very exotic tastes in Hip Hop music.



DJ Elle answered the call by spinning nonstop from 11pm till 2am showing an amazing breath and versatility of hip hop music, not playing the same song or any adaptation of the same song twice in the in entire set. DJ Elle went form the commercial to the sublime and the crowd just ate it up. DJ Elle (pronounced "el") began learning her craft back in 1998. Inspired by legends such as DJ Stretch Armstrong, Red Alert, Coco Channel, Jazzy Joyce and Evil Dee, the New York City native spent countless hours practicing her mixing skills and studying recordings of her blend and it certainly shows. I would high recommend you hear DJ Elle spin; she is cool, attractive and very well versed in the nuances of Hip Hop .
