It's Fourth of July weekend, and time to fire up those grills for backyard barbecues and partake of the enjoyment made possible by the efforts of America's Founding Fathers.  These sacrifices were not insignificant, as described in "1776" written by esteemed historian David McCullough.

Ambient DJ Meets the "Queen of Freestyle"

This past Saturday, at a private party in Franklin Lakes, NJ, our DJ Greg Nice (Greg Lambiase) had the good fortune of sharing the stage with freestyle legend Judy Torres as a DJ and band alternated sets.  Judy Torres, often referred to as the "Queen of Freestyle" is a Puerto Rican singer who grew up in the Bronx.  Interestingly, this was not Greg Nice's first encounter with Judy Torres - the two met briefly at the 2010 DJ Times International DJ Expo  in Atlantic City at the Promo Only party!

Judy was energetic, friendly and complimented Greg Nice on his mixing.  What an awesome compliment, and perhaps that is why Greg is beaming in the photo below!  

Judy Torres and DJ Greg Nice

DJ Greg Nice is no stranger to the freestyle genre, as evidenced by his post on freestyle from earlier this year:
