DJ - Ed Reaney & Jody Glanzer

Blurb:
My musical tastes are somewhat eclectic & vary greatly. Generally, "my favorite music is generally played from the heart, soul or groin." ~J
 
 
Ed & Jody Together:
 
 
 Ed and Jody were both DJing long before meeting one another. They have early memories of seeing eachother at the booth and have a mutual respect. Both are relyable, serious about the task and desire to keep people moving and having fun doing it!
The first time spinning together was such a fun adventure. Organizers have picked up on the comradery and support for one another and have at times specificly requested they spin together. Each pushing the other to grow and explore more musical fronts. They support and mentor one another at the booth and back eachother up when needed. Those duo sets are usually such a blast as you have not one but two people searching the recesses of their brains and collections to find the right song to hit the spot.

    Downtime @The 1st Canadian Balboa Championships One of Ottawa's longest running swing DJ's, Ed has spun at a remarkable variety of venues, including dance studios, bars, national events, and star-lit dance floors on the beach. He is a versatile DJ, capable of spinning from vintage & blues, motown to funk and modern. He has been a staple DJ at all feature events in the capital, often attracting out of town dancers seeking "Ed's special flava".

    One of Ed's current passions is scouring used music stores and garage sales, for vinyl records with one of his other passions, Jody. Hopefully these musical gems will see the light of day again sometime soon and we'll be able to dance and party like its 1939!

    A regular guest at exchanges and national events, Jody is a particularly sought-after Blues DJ and has been a renowned blues specialist since before blues dancing was popular. She's been enamored with the Blues for as long as she can remember and is drawn to the rawness, passion, soul, intensity of emotion and sheer humanity of it, makes her feel alive!

    While spinning, Jody likes to play and share with the dancers and aspires to highlight Canadian content as much as possible. Whether she's playing some kickin' R&B, swingin' it old school style, funking out, "shoutin' haliluah!" to an inspiring Gospel set, or a downright carnal, sweaty & intense Blues session, she tries to create a flow and help shape the mood or tone. Lindyhop, Blues, WCS, Bal, or whatever she'll spin for it and you know, its gonna be fun!

    "You are clearly one of the best DJs to have ever spun at the Blacksheep... Your sense of music, including style, tempo, and rhythm, is truly remarkable, as is your outstanding music collection. I was truly impressed with your selections and mixes, and this is drawn from over twenty-five years of experience with clubs and club DJs. I feel that there is much to be learned from you. Thank you so much and keep up the fantastic work." ~ Paul Symes The Black Sheep Inn (Wakefield, Quebec)
