Coachella workout with Dan Deacon

Dan Deacon might be my new favorite person.

The DJ is Baltimore-based (B-more is my hometown), he plays Salt-N-Pepa’s classic, “Shoop,” before shows, and he led the audience in a calisthenics class before his set in the Gobi tent.

Dan Deacon’s fan reach for the sky in the Gobi tent.

He had people stretch, do a slight knee bend, get to know their neighbor and then, he had a countdown more amazing than Dick Clark on New Year’s Eve.

He had the audience count down from 10, and when they got to 0, they were encouraged to shout ” ‘Matrix 3’ is actually a good movie!”

That was awesome. Then he played some crazy beats. Good times, good times.
