52nd Annual Grammy Awards – Dave Audé Style
Dave was honored to be an inside correspondent for Stars Entertainment.com
This is my first year attending the Grammy Awards as a nominee. Having a horse in the race is a little bit different than just showing up because you want to. It gives you a different perspective – a sense of pride because your work has been recognized by your peers. Win or lose it really is a pretty cool experience on this side of the stanchions. By the way, I didn’t win but it’s still very cool to be involved in all of this as a nominee.
(my tickets)
I arrived for the pre-telecast Grammys around 12:40, you know, the ones that you don’t see on TV, and pretty much ran right into Quentin Tarrantino. Keep in mind I would’ve been the first person to be taking pictures here and show you all the fun, but no cameras were allowed and they meant it. Had the phone out trying to snap a shot here and there, but got called out a few times, so I had to be much more stealth.
(Me just getting inside the pre-Grammy, Grammys)
The energy was really electric. Everyone seems so genuinely happy to be here, including myself. The one really cool thing about being at the pre-telecast was that we got to see Taylor Swift get her first Grammy. She actually showed up and was there to accept her award. Gaga got her first Grammy of the night at the pre-telecast, but she wasn’t there to accept. The point is that not very often will someone who is nominated for an award that will be airing on National TV, shows up to the ones that aren’t. The kid gets a lot of respect from me.
I think the funniest thing happened between the pre-telecast and the red carpet. My wife and I went to Katsuya for a quick bite between ceremonies and sitting two tables over was Quintin Tarantno and RZA, having a great time throwing a few back with the ladies and singing rap songs.
Will say this about the red carpet, I couldn’t help but notice how much attention was paid to the Jonas Brothers and Nicole Kidman. Got to see the new Jonas wife, very cute girl and looked great. It was the curly-haired one that got married, right? Speaking of the JoBros, his posse practically bowled over my wife, pushing her into Keith Urban. Keith was very kind and was not bothered by getting bumped into, in the middle of an interview.
The red carpet was pretty hectic, I guess I should’ve arrived a few minutes before Keith Urban, JoBros, Nicole, Kei$ha and Adam Lambert. Next time.
It looked like there was more security there than actual celebs or artists – busting me down twice for pulling out the camera phone. In addition to being way too busy, the carpet was also splattered with a whole lot of hooch, as in hoochie mommas. Not artists or celebrities mind you, but their +1s. Seemed to me a lot like an old Bon Jovi concert , replete with the hooched-out arm candy. Other than that, nothing too crazy took place, thanks security.
I finally made it to my seats around 4:40. Apparently the doors closed right at 4:45. It was kind of chaotic when the announcer went over the PA system and said “one minute to air…30 seconds to air….” People running frantically to their seats, in fear they would get shut out until the first commercial break. Wow.
Lady Gaga, who had already won a few Grammys at the earlier presentation, was just laying on stage for what was like 5 minutes. Or so I thought. The girl turned out to be a dancer who was dressed up like Gaga to fake us all out. She was part of the opening number of the 52nd Grammys. Great performance with Sir Elton John.
Pink, Pink, Pink. If you missed the Grammys go find her performance on YouTube or something because she was spectacular. She was dripping wet on a trapeze swirling over part of the the audience and was getting some pretty high-profile people and/or their entourages wet – Beyonce, Kathy Griffin, Russell Brand, Lady Gaga, etc. The picture is bad, but remember, security was everywhere and I was trying to take pictures from my lap.
(this is Pink, trust me)
Everything was so great seeing it in person and with pretty good seats. I mean JLo looked stunning and the Black Eyes Peas were simply spectacular. They have such an amazing stage presence. And, Green Day, who doesn’t like Green Day?
Having done several remixes for the lovely Beyoncé and the amazing Gaga, it was great to see them both get honored as some of the best in their field. As for Jamie Fox getting up there, let’s just say I am glad Slash showed up, cuz he makes everything better.
The after parties were, well, after parties. I was hanging out at the Interscope party with DJ Havana Brown, Girlicious, Dre, Will.I.Am and Nicole Overall I’d have to say it was pretty astonishing to be among my peers and be a part of this grand experience. I can only hope I have the opportunity to be here again, and next time bringing home the award.

Dave Audé
2AUDACIOUS
dj mix
DJ mixes exist for a myriad of reasons. Some serve as calling cards for individual talents, to remind the public it takes more than a knack for cobbling together a catchy iTunes playlist to merit “superstar” DJ status. Others function as souvenirs of long-running parties, or aural scrapbooks of a past season.
The motive underlying 2Audacious, the new set from Los Angeles multi-talent Dave Audé, deviates from those established patterns. “The only goal here was to assemble the best of Audacious Records from the past two years,” he says. (Just to heighten excitement, he added a soon-to-be-released update of DJ Dan’s 2003 classic “That Phone Track,” too.) “I just want to keep pushing the music I make and believe in, because in the past I’ve spent so much time on other artists’ records.” Even though he isn’t the featured artist on all the selections, Audé has at least one credit—as writer, producer, performer—on nine of these ten tracks.
Launched in April 2006 with the release “People Are Future” by DJ Micro, Audacious Records operates according to a very simple principle: “My mission was just to make music with my friends, and get it out there,” says Audé. “My friends being Micro, DJ Dan, Christopher Lawrence, Tall Paul, Charles Feelgood, and Jeremy Word.” Other Audacious comrades-in-arms include singer and songwriter Sisely Treasure, and big-room favorite Gina Star, showcased here via her debut single “Rock With Me” (featuring vocals by DeAnna DellaCioppa).
When Dave speaks about his “friends,” he doesn’t use that word in the slick, entertainment biz, “what can you do for me?” sense. Take frequent collaborator DJ Dan, who has a hand in four of the ten highlights on 2Audacious. “Dan has some of the best ears around, and always I look forward to hearing what he’s into when we get together.”
Ditto for Sisely Treasure, who shaped two of Audé’s biggest hits, “Common Ground” and the 2008 #1 Billboard smash “Grass Is Greener.” “She’s like my little sister,” he admits. “We’ve been writing together for six years. She has great ideas and a unique sound.” The rest of the world has begun to recognize those gifts, too, thanks to her gig as front woman for rising pop-rock combo Shiny Toy Guns.
While it is the product of a small circle of friends, assembled under the auspices of a single label, 2Audacious feels expansive and diverse. Millions of club tracks can turn five minutes into an eternity; this set achieves the opposite. Rarely does an hour fly by so quickly—and joyously. Retaining the seat-of-the-pants style that characterizes his DJ sets at parties like Caffeine in Denver and Meltdown in Dallas, Audé sequences for maximum variety and thrills. Listen to how “Rock to the Rhythm,” a concoction of fat timbres, synthesized squiggles, and a dash of dancehall, rubs up against the dark and sensual “Push That Thing,” with its ecstatic, pitch-shifting vocal hook. Or the three-song suite at the album’s center, with DJ Dan’s “Further Damage” and “Needle Damage” bookending an exclusive Saeed Younan remix of Tall Paul’s meaty “Peep Show.”
Since he first emerged as the in-house producer at Moonshine Music in the ‘90s, Dave Audé has run up an astonishing roster of hits—30 #1 Billboard successes and counting—both under his own name (his 2007 chart-topper “Make It Last,” featuring Jessica Sutta of Pussycat Dolls) and in service of other artists, including Beyoncé, Pussycat Dolls, Coldplay, Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Alanis Morissette, Donna Summer, and Girls Aloud. He’s also been tapped as Musical Director for the Pussycat Dolls 2009 World Tour, which will reunite him with some of his favorite clients, including PCD, Britney, and rising star Lady Gaga.
For all his accomplishments—and the persistent puns on his surname—the Dave Audé raison d’être remains modest. “I would only ever promise to work hard to deliver music that has some thought and time put into it,” he concludes. “I’m not one of these guys that pumps out a track a day and plays the numbers game. I don’t even like to think I have fans. Because when you start thinking about that stuff, rather than about how slammin’ your drums are… well, that’s when you’re finished.”
But don’t take Dave’s word for all he’s accomplished. There’s no need to. 2Audacious speaks for itself. Loud and clear.
