Happy Friday! Thanks for all the love and positive vibes at Newburyport Brewing Co. last night. I absolutely loved spinning vintage 70s vinyl magic...so much so that I've recorded my set and am ready to share it here! Stream the magic and smile. Yes, this is your soundtrack for the weekend!

Fresh off my return visit to Newburyport Brewery on March 28, I'm sharing the set that was played live at the event. I've been digging deep into 70s vinyl recently, so I decided to devote this entire set to that decade, give or take a few years on either side. :-) There are loads of deeper cuts in t...

Grateful to the Spins & Needles DJ collective for inviting me to be part of the fun. Look for an official event page soon. Until then, these are one of my favorite events, as it's pretty much anything goes, so I'm already concocting my groovy set list. Whoop!!!

NEW SET ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I finally made it around to another edition of the Jukebox Hustle - classic rock and soul tunes that are sure to bring a smile to your face.

NEW SET ALERT!!!

Hey, fellow music lovers. Life has been busy since the beginning of the year, but I've got two updates to share. First, I finally snuck into the basement once again yesterday (seriously, i was having major withdrawals), and the result is another EPIC Fantastic Voyage set, recorded live from vinyl.

This one, like all of Fantastic Voyage sets, is eclectic, with loads of lesser known and fringe-y tunes for your listening pleasure. If you are feeling adventurous, give this a listen. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Second, I have some upcoming in-person gigs to share soon, so keep an eye out. Right now, it looks like I may have two gigs in February and one in March. I'll share details as soon as they are finalized. More to come!

Have a great rest of the week.

Welcome to another eclectic trip to the outer fringes of your mind. "Fantastic Voyage" is a live vinyl-only DJ set that seamlessly weaves together genres and decades -- think 60s psyche, 70s prog, 80s post punk, 90s hip hop, 00's metal, and more recent indie rock, all playing in the same sandbox. Th...

Well, aside from an early A/V snafu that left a few minutes of silence after the opening intro track, last night's "2023 The Year in Music" live stream went off swimmingly, and it was EPIC!!! Three hours of vinyl love traversing a lot of ground from this past year. From neo soul to indie rock, with stops along the way in trippy jazz, country rock, yacht pop, and other genres, I think there was something for most tastes. If you missed the live stream, the recorded version is available to stream via the link here.

A Happy New Year to all my fellow music lovers. I hope 2024 is kind to you with health and prosperity. Be safe, friends!

***NOTE: No audio from 4:55 - 8:30 due to A/V issue.*** Now that the music critics have published their "Best of 2023" lists and the year is winding down, DJ BCreativ is ready to share his annual set of vinyl highlights from the year. In this live stream, which will be recorded and shared after, you...

What an amazing week. I had two of the most memorable DJ gigs ever. The Brighton Bazaar Night Market on Thursday was packed with literally hundreds of shoppers making their holiday purchases while grooving to the holiday tunes on vinyl. And last night’s Hoppy Holidaze Beer & Cheer Party at Newburyport Brewing Co. was a first-time experiment of sorts that seemed to be just what the regulars wanted. We had trivia, some games, and some eclectic holiday tunes, and everyone had fun - but I’m pretty sure I had the most fun!!! I hope this becomes a new annual tradition.

I do have one final event before the end of the year. Stay tuned for details! And have a happy and relaxing holiday season!

12/20/2023

Howdy hi, fellow music lovers!!! Happy holidays to friends near and far, and I hope you are enjoying the spirit of the season.

Just a friendly reminder that the time is here!! I have TWO live, in-person DJ events coming up this week/weekend, and both of them are holiday-related, which means I will have my very extensive and very eclectic holiday collection in tow with me.

First up, I will be spinning for FIVE HOURS at The Brighton Bazaar holiday night market at Charles River Speedway on Thursday, December 21. The needle drops at 5:00 pm and the fun goes until 10:00 pm. This truly is a singular experience for anyone who is into hip crafts, vintage clothing and otherwares, and VINYL VINYL VINYL!!! If you are looking for last-minute gifts that will wow your friends and family, and boost your "street cred," then don't miss this.

For something a little more low-key (but equally fun!), I will not only be spinning at but HOSTING and EMCEEING the "Hoppy Holidaze Beer & Cheer Party" at Newburyport Brewing Co. on Saturday, December 23. This very well might be one of your last chances to sneak away from the in-law's and treat yourself to a beer with friends, so don't miss out. We'll have holiday-themed trivia, an ugly sweater contest, a few crazy games, fun prizes for our winners, and of course, beeeer!!! Loads of fun will be had by all.

Please come say hi and groove to the holiday tunes!

NEW SET ALERT!! As promised, I have recreated my set from Thirsty First Tavern this past Saturday. It is now Episode 5 of my ongoing "Fantastic Voyage" series. This is the set as it was played live on Saturday, December 9, and it's ready for you to enjoy at your leisure. Warning -- this thing hits HARD!!! Pretty proud of this one (except for that 30 seconds of silence during my opening bit...never fear, I solved the issue!). Stream and share, friends. 😃

In this special edition of Fantastic Voyage, I have recreated a set originally played live at Thirsty First Tavern in Lowell, Mass., on December 9. I had so much fun spinning it, and it aligned so well with my usual themes of Fantastic Voyage, that it is now Episode 5 of this eclectic series. You'll...

Thanks to all the awesome peeps who came out to get their faces melted at Thirsty First Tavern last night. I had a blast spinning some heavy and eclectic tuneage, and love the space. I had so much fun spinning my set that I’m planning to record it in the basement and share as the newest Fantastic Voyage episode. I’ll share a link soon!!!

12/08/2023

Hi, friends. There's been a change in plans. Turns out that Thirsty First Tavern double booked for tonight (Friday). So...I will be bringing the same crazy vinyl magic there TOMORROW night (Saturday, Dec. 9). Hope you can still make it!!!

What’s happening, folks? I’ve got some late breaking news for those local to Lowell. I am really excited to share that I will be spinning some very eclectic tunes tomorrow night (December 8) at the new downtown location of Thirsty First Tavern. As you can see from the description, this is gonna’ be pretty outside the box. Come see what surprises are in store!

Saturday night!!!!
Non-Traditional Medicinals - Vinyl Remedies w/ DJ BCreativ

Some remedies don’t come from a bottle. Hell, they don’t even come from mom. Join us at Thirsty First for an unpredictable vinyl set courtesy of BCreativ, a Lowell DJ hellbent on bringing a doctor’s bag full of everything from vintage psyche, garage, and funk to more recent alt rock, space rock, and other fringe deliciousness. Expect the unexpected.

Happy holidays, fellow music lovers!

Daptone Records recently posted a link to their “Holiday Soul Party” playlist on Spotify. I checked it out, and all I could think was, “this thing has NOTHING on the BCreativ HOt HOliday HOuseparty!”

My dance party was recorded live from vinyl and is available for you to re-enjoy this holiday season. If you’re looking for non-stop holiday bangers, this is the one for you! (Link in the comments)

Looking for something a little more chill? I got you covered there, too. Stream the holiday version of my Sunday Cafe. (Link in the comments)

Want more holiday music magic? Well, believe it or not, I’ve got way more holiday vinyl these days, and it will all be in tow when I spin at The Brighton Bazaar night market on Thursday, December 21 (FIVE HOURS!!!) and at the Newburyport Brewing Co.

Have a great holiday season, and be safe!!!

WHASSUP, fellow music lovers!!! Welcome to the last two months of 2023. Whether you have kids, or are a kid at heart, I hope you had a fun and spooky Halloween.

I may not be quite as active these days, but there are still a lot of cool and fun things happening, and I actually have a couple of announcements.

First, I've been invited to DJ the Brighton Bazaar night market again in November. I had such a blast DJ'ing this event back in September, and this month's fun will be on Thursday, November 16. I'll bring lots of hip-friendly funk, soul, and classic rock to set the vibe for the artisans and shoppers. Watch for more details!

Also, I know it's a bit early, but I have TWO holiday gigs on the books already. For those who've tuned in to my past HOt HOliday HOuseparty streams, you know I have a wide spectrum of fun and lesser-known holiday tunes on vinyl, and I'll be bringing them ALL to these gigs.

The first will be the holiday Brighton Bazaar (yes, one more time! :-D) and the second will be a special holiday event at Newburyport Brewing Co. More details to come on both of these events, so keep an eye out.

As always, I'll continue streaming sets from the basement, including Fantastic Voyage (anything goes!), The Groove Harvest (funk, hip hop, and anything else that makes you wanna dance!), and The Jukebox Hustle (classic rock and soul!).

Have a great rest of the week -- keep on groovin'!!!
