Check a few of our favorite party rockers DJ Tina T, Jesse Marco, and the Captains of Industry up in the club doing their version of #ExtremeSpinning after the jump.

We go to movies to be entertained, and as icing on the cake, maybe gain some insight into our crazy, confusing day-to-day lives. A documentary has to really stretch itself to catch our eye. Fortunately, one such documentary, “Miss Representation,” caught the eye of DJ Tina T, and motivated her to hold a private screening at Red Bull’s headquarters in Santa Monica this past Wednesday, August 30. “Representation” cleverly grabs hold of our attention, and redirects it toward the toxic media culture in which we’ve raised our daughters, and how much a role we play in creating that world.

I think a lot of people have memories of camp as a kid. Long hot days, mosquitoes, friendship bracelets and camp fire smores. Now imagine for a minute that you are a kid into DJ culture! You love music and you spend pretty much all day listening to songs wishing you had an outlet for your creativity. Well DJ Tina T decided that both of these experiences needed a home, and thus Camp Spin-Off was born.
Camp Spin-Off (Aug. 1st-5th) will bring together 50 boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 17 with the common passion and desire to learn the art of being a DJ. The program is designed to bring all the elements of the DJ culture together in an outdoor environment. Campers are not only immersed in the culture but also experience an action packed week of traditional camp activities with their favorite DJ role models. The DJ community is unique in that, the “pioneers” of the art form are still alive. Some of these very pioneers are scheduled to make appearances during the duration of camp. Confirmed heavy hitter DJ and music industry involvement includes but is not limited to, DJ Kevin Scott, DJ Spider, DJ Enrie, and DJ Scene. Famed DJ Hapa will be teaching instructional DJ courses. Camp Spin-Off aims to give access to not only these pioneers, but also the proper DJ instruction and equipment, paired with a team-building environment in the great outdoors!
Every time I say the name Tina T I sing a little ACDC in my head! (Tee-Nah-T, like Dynamite! Come on..now you sing…)
