Please Meet Our New Music Contributor: DJ Brook Lynn

-


DJ Brook Lynn really likes to "Make People Move" - and that's why we love to work with him at the turntables!
We met Brooke Johnson a little over a year ago and he has quickly become a frequent collaborator.
We can say with confidence that he packs the dance floor even with the most challenging guests.

His knack for finding the right groove makes sense when you learn that Brooke started as a teenage break dancer in San Francisco. Break dancing evolved into other dance styles and led to making music that he liked to dance to.
His extensive DJ resume includes residencies at clubs in San Francisco and in Sacramento, in top venues like the SoMa hot spot WISH Bar.
On the corporate event front Brooke played fashion shows for French fashion house Chanel and private Chanel-sponsored events for Silicon Valley CEOs.
His real passion: finding new music.

Brooke: "Thanks to online streaming we are really seeing a paradigm shift. I do a lot of research and listening. Nowadays the traditional Billboard chart toppers do not necessarily translate into record sales! Many established artists get radio play because of the power of their record labels but this does not always correlate into quality. I find a lot of great music online, performed and produced by online stars who do not get radio play. However, they do sell! The fans discover the music online, listen to it a number of times, the downloads turn into online hits and online sales. The streaming services really add a lot of material and thus create a much better rounded music offering."

Brook's music can also be found online, for instance on SoundCloud and MixCloud.

Brooke has a lot of projects lined up for late summer and fall 2016. "I am in the studio laying down some vocals for my friend Freakpusher. I am also working on producing my own DJ tracks that will come out later this year. Next up, though, is my playlist "Ode to 70s Funk, Soul and Disco Hits", truly some of the best dance music ever. It will be on my SoundCloud Playlist. Thank you for listening!" He promised to make time for our events!

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
