There is a litmus test for disc jockeys. It’s true. And it’s really easy to tell the difference between a good DJ and a great one. When you look around the room during the playlist from a good DJ, you’ll see heads nodding, toes tapping, a few people dancing, and several mouthing the words. The playlist from a great DJ, however, yields loads of people screaming the lyrics and forces people on the dance floor (no matter how scared of embarrassment they are) for all manner of body gyrations. If you don’t believe it, check out DJ Erik Foiles on Friday and Saturday nights at Dewey’s Roadhouse, which boasts the “best dance party in the Chippewa Valley.” Stop down to see DJ Marcus at Scooter’s for dance parties on Friday and Saturday nights. For a bit different experience, give “Karaoke” Nick a try on Thursdays and Fridays at the Wigwam or Sundays at Whiskey Dicks. Though a karaoke DJ, Nick will fill your face with factoids and feet with dance fever in between singers. – Trevor Kupfer
