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!
