My god the MFF dances, I don't even know where to start. If you didn't go, you missed out because I've never seen things go off like that before.

I guess the first thing to do would be to thank the staff, Hartee, Oddy and Firr specifically as they do a lot of the heavy lifting to make sure that the dances are the experience that they are. It has been about 4 years since the new AV staff has started to roll in and we put a lot of work and did a lot of begging in order to get that new lighting and sound rig up and I think it paid off. I also want to thank Kodi for giving me the freedom to do what I think needs to be done.

Thursday night mixer:
Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the mixer, as i did not arrive at the con until later so I was only able to hear Pdawg drop his beats there. I was happy to see that we had a good number of people there given the setup and the room and I have heard nothing but good things about what Dakk and Madius played. I was impressed with what Pdawg threw down, especially considering where he started at. He is one of the few who is actually developing a style unique to himself and I've got a ton of respect for that.

Friday Night (Round 1)
I always get super nervous before a con dance, especially at MFF. I always worry no one will show up, or something really bad will happen right before doors and it is just nerve wrecking. Thankfully we had almost no issues the whole way through and we essentially started on time (or as close to reasonable as we could!).

Croc kicked things off, and I ran off to get into fursuit. When I came back I was pleasantly surprised at how many furs we had out there, and the crowd just kept getting bigger. At one point I got a surprise from Avery which caught me a lil off guard, but it was awesome. Croc played a fantastic set and I think everyone else on the floor agreed with me.

BBF was next up and he did not disappoint! He is a DJ gem in this fandom, spanning multiple genres with an old school mixing style that shows how much work he has put into what he does. Seeing how many furs we had on the dancefloor for his set made me wag.

Rawkz0rz took the stage at midnight, taking a moment to sing happy birthday to a friend which was sweet before dropping into some really really good stuff. He played a fantastic set, and has a good crew that he rolls with that supports him, which as a DJ means everything to you. The stage was packed to the point where we had to start moving people off to make sure the equipment wasn't going to have any issues. I was all wags when the con chair came by to see how things were going and just started at the crowd had in disbelief.

Rok closed out the night for us, keeping things moving with his DnB and Drumstep. I was impressed with what he did at youmacon, and MFF was no exception. I love how he interacts with the crowd and the energy he brings with each one of his sets. When the night closed down we still had furs dancing and that is always a good feeling.

Saturday Night (Rebel 2)

Firr returned to MFF this year as last year he got completely screwed out of his set due to a scheduling error, which sucked. This year Firr rocked the place. It was great seeing him run around the stage getting into what he was dropping and just having such a good time up there.

It is tough to sum everything up and look back on a set you've done and not see it as one huge blur of joy. This was the least nervous I have been since I've been playing a lot more recently and I felt pretty confident about everything. Oddy had requested that I play his new track that he had produced before my set and I was honored to do so. He is such a good producer and his stuff needs to be heard. As a quick interlude his track dropped and I was happy that people were asking me who this was as before I had mentioned that it was written by a fur. I happily pointed them to Oddy so their praise could be lavished upon it's author.

Then it was my turn. I started with a Muse track, which my wuff suggested I open with. It was a perfect opener too, I stood on the front of the stage mimicking the music in an impromptu performance before the song dropped. The first half of my set was unrelenting and massive; watching everyone out there moving with me was the highlight of my night. I moved into glitch hop and trap to give the crowd and myself a much needed breather. I like this style so much as I can build with it and actually take things somewhere instead of just moving from drop to drop to drop. I was happy to see people moving to the type of trap I like as I tend to stick with the more dirty stuff and not the dutch house infused stuff. There were stage concerns so we were trying to keep it clear but eventually I just said eff it, I'll keep an eye on things and called the suiters up on stage. Little did I know that it wasn't just suiters that were going to flood the stage but everyone. I was surrounded by people all dancing and jumping on stage, it was fantastic! I eventually moved into some drumstep and closed the night off with Mochipet, which I have been wanting to unleash on a con ever since I first heard the song. Needless to say it was about the perfect closer. After that I was in a sea of bliss as people told me how much they loved what I played and nothing makes me happier than seeing furs out there enjoying themselves.

Recca Took over after I introduced him and proceeded to rock the house. Every time I see Recca play I think back on previous cons and how far he has come and the progress he has made. It is pretty awesome and he has done a good job. The room and the stage stayed packed the whole time as he dropped his electro beats on the crowd. After his set was over the look and the hug he gave me so many wags as I knew what he felt in how awesome it is to rock a crowd like that.

Genki finished up the night with his hardcore beats. I have to give this man serious props as he is one of the last old school trained DJs who is just on top of his game. I'm not a fan of hardcore, I never have been, but I am a fan of Genki. He drops beats so well that I just can't not like what he does. I have so much respect for what he does and continues to do. When the Saturday dance closed up we had a loyal dancefloor that did not want to quit even after we had to bring the lights up, which makes me so happy.

Sunday Night (Round 3)
 CometTheWolf  ThatOtherVinny  brosine
Sunday night was my night to go out for a nice dinner with my wuff and close friends so this caused me to miss both Akonite and Chance's sets. I did, however, hear nothing but praise for Akonite from people in passing afterwards and I know he always delivers a good set. On my way back from dinner I poked my head in to see how Chance was doing, as he had about 15 minutes left to go in his set. I wanted to see how the con had reacted to a 100% pure hip hop segment and I was really really surprised at how many people were there rocking out. I'm glad that we have a place for more than just EDM at our conventions, even if that tends to be the predominant genre.

I got in suit quickly to come down and support Comet for his set and he threw down some really good beats. He was dancing and wagging all over the place which was pretty awesome. I love seeing DJs get excited about playing, it is infectious. I got hugs from the happy wagging DJ, which is always nice too ^^. For the last set of the day, Cosine and Vinny stepped up to close the night out. It was Cosines first time playing and he played very very well. There was a small equipment problem (and not the first for the con, I think that was the 4th one of the weekend) but I jumped up on stage to help fix the issue and he came back without missing a beat. After that Vinny took the stage for the last half hour to give us some good dubstep beats and bass in his signature style. He had to play on equipment that wasn't his, and I could tell it was stressing him out a bit, but he still delivered.

So after all that I am super happy with how everything went. This is the first time I have left the con without regrets or feeling like I could have done more. I felt prepared going in, during the convention I was there to ensure that all the issues along the way got taken care of. Additionally I decided that as a promoter I should be there for every DJs set, so I made every effort to be there and support the people I booked.

To everyone who came out to the dances, thank you so much, you all are the reason that we all do this. We love to share our craft with you and we love the support you give us along the way. Without all of you this wouldn't happen!
