Here are some photos from my favorite Halloween dj set of all time. This was 12 years ago from the annual maroon 5 Halloween party at . I asked Thom Yorke to DJ with me, and leant Thom and I their actual tour robot helmets to perform in. I gained so much respect for Thomas and Guyman that night. Just djing a party in the helmets was insane. They fogged up immediately and were so hot. It’s was claustrophobic and amazing at the same time. It was hard to see the mixer and the cdjs let alone the dancefloor. Someone at the party spread a rumor that Daft Punk was actually djing, so at some point in the party everyone was convinced it was them, and then Thom took off his helmet and people freaked out even more that Thom Yorke was djing. It was beyond surreal. After the set I went to go talk to and told him how much more respect I had for Thomas and Guyman and their ability to perform in stadiums for two hours set with in full robot mode when I was having trouble playing a party in tent for an hour. All of the sudden the person next to Cedric pulled off his phantom of the opera mask and it was Thomas Bangalter. He had watched Thom and I dj as Daft Punk at a party wherever body was convinced that Daft Punk was djing. Just surreal and the coolest robots in the world to help make that magic happen. Hollywood is the best place in the world for Halloween. I’m sad to miss it this year.
