After 20 years as DJs in the San Francisco Bay Area, we retired in 2014 from the DJ world. It was a fabulous 20 years, and we wouldn’t change a minute of it. There were many, many memorable DJ venues and nights at which we DJayed over the years and for which we have historical request/play lists! Below are just a few of them. (P.S.–we nave NOT retired from teaching!)
