gNO does INDY 500
News / dummy articles / DJ gNO

Well this is one of my most difficult recaps because I had such a blast this weekend that I forgot to document everything,  Therefore I am waiting for pictures and scrambling to find thigs I misplaced along way.  Well I can tell you this;

The INDY 500 experience is great and its getting better. 

I also have one word for Kentucky Derby, CUIDADO!  It seems to rain every year for at Derby for some reason, and yeah it has more deep rooted history, but aint nothing like that oval and my favorite noise vrrrrrrrrrrooooom! That gas guzzling heart pumping rage of energy that you get from the track is priceless.  In my opinion, its far more exciting than the gallop of the horse and yes it is again becoming quite the star studded affair, less the fancy shmancy outfits with the hats, old money, and animals from the farmland.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE Kentucky Derby, however, I just wanna iterate how amazing the Indy 500 truly is.  We are merely trading the piles of manuer and blue grass, for the smell of ethanol, oil, and rubber on concrete. The garage, a place that both Hoosiers, Kentuckians and people from all over the world are all too familiar with. 

For all you city slickers, dont let me make you think we are all a bunch of hillbillies following a hillbilly sport.  Because the Indy 500 experience is truly a swanky affair driven by a diverse class of sportsman from all over the world.  Ask the 2010 Indy 500 winner, and husband of Ashley Judd, Dario Franchitti, who is Italian.   Racing culture is the epitome of luxury and lifestyle worldwide.  I can go all over the world naking the various backgrounds of drivers in the race, but at the end of the day I know for a fact IZOD is driving the Indy 500 into the spectacle it once was and will continue to be for years to come.  Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!   Get ready for the RACE TO THE PARTY!  The Indianapolis 500 is feeling like T.I. coming fresh off of a bid. "I'm Baaaack!"

Kentucky Derby Events 2010

Kentucky Derby 2010

This years derby rained like you wouldn't believe. And if my memory serves me correct it has rained the last few years Derby weekend in Louisville however this by no means would prevent myself or any of my friends from having an absolute blast!  At any rate this
weekend was a dream come true because I always wanted to spin at Derby. 

So Friday night we did our thing for the 2nd year in a row with Greenhouse NYC at Prime Lounge. Funny thing is Jon B. and Barry actually made it out to the bluegrass state this year.   This party was wonderful with local DJ K Dogg, DJ Eye, and of course DJ Vice.

Saturday night my new manager J. Buckner got me booked at the First Annual Fluer De Lys event.

This event was truly special indeed Chris Rich wth Rich Events put in overtime for this one.  One hundred percent of the proceeds went to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation.   I shared the turntables with Louisvilles own DJ Fluid, who was cooler than a polar bears toe nail.   

Talk about the great time I ended up going with some of my best friends and really made a wonderful DJ'ing debut at Kentucky Derby.   I believe this will be a building block for Derby next year. Here are some of the photos from the Fluer De Lys event.

Bio & Clients

Bio

J.R. Waldon, AKA DJ gNO has been heavily influenced by music all his life.  He never played any musical instuments
growing up however his passion for music has been the one constant in his life.  Dj gNO interned and was hired by
Emmis Communications former radio station 105.7 in 2001 as a remote broadcast tech and used to set up
the DJ's equipment.  After finishing undergrad and moving to new york city J.R. found another internship in the city with
Universal Music Group and soon thereafter landed a job working with 98.7 Kiss FM and Hot 97 in their marketing departments. 
Simultaneously J.R. became quite the nightlife efficianado as he did marketed and promoted at several of NYC's
nightclubs.  With the nightlife becoming more competitive and less lucrative J.R. started thinking about ways to
evolve in a positive way. 

In 2006 J.R. promoted and frequented a nightclub called Stereo who always kept a rotation of solid DJ's spinning.
the venue had its DJ booth set up in the VIP so it was easy to see the DJ's do their thing.   The new serato
technology caught his attention so he found his nights at Stereo watching every DJ such as Suss One, Juske,
and DJ AM perform.  With some consultation from DJ Indiana Jones, and as a result of experiencing such wonderful talent at Stereo and other NYC venues, J.R. was inspired to evolve into DJ gNO.

In August of 2009 DJ gNO started spinning regularly at Greenhouse as well as Lucky Jacks. 

DJ gNO mixes your favorite music without limit to any genre.  His focus is on aiding the clients initiatives
and satisfying the crowd.
