There’s people that work hard. And then there’s Joey Liechty. Best known as Yeahdef, he somehow manages to juggle a day job, college, and enough shows to make you wonder if he ever sleeps. You can find him week after week at Hailey’s in Denton, chopping and mixing everyone’s favorite tunes from the ’80s and ’90s to make the people dance. There’s a reason Yeahdef was voted Best DJ by Dallas Observer readers and it’s not just because he puts in the hours necessary to master his art. He’s innovative and unafraid to intertwine his l33t skills with his setup. He’s streamed Twitter feeds and text messages through projectors during shows, crafts his own playful flyers, and recently unveiled his project, Playlister, which allows everyone to vote online for the tracks they want to hear on ’90s nights. Given his sense of all things musical, technical, and Gen-Y nostalgic, it only makes sense that his Guestlist brings all of those together.
Be sure to dance back in time with Yeahdef on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or catch his new dubstep monthly gig, Dentstep, at Hailey’s. And if you have time in between, try to beat him at Words with Friends.
