Party in the AM

A A A Comments By Travis Ritter Thursday, Feb 16 2006

When DJ AM, a.k.a. Adam Goldstein, left his hometown of Philadelphia for L.A. at age 15, he just wanted to spin records for a living. Now 32, AM is the go-to waxman for celebs: He's spun at parties for the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, J. Lo and Brad Pitt. He'll bring his serious Hollywood cred — and records — to Hue today for the Celebrity All-Star Saturday.

When he does shows in L.A., AM says, "it's bound to happen that celebrities will be there. In terms of the whole Hollywood celebrity thing, if I do one, then more people like that will ask me, 'If we end up having a party, I want you to do mine.'" (Speaking of celebs, AM recently split with The Simple Life star and Paris's ex-friend, Nicole Richie.)

Since 2004, AM has been holding down the weekend residency at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas; he's also been hosting Wednesday nights at his own club, LAX, since its opening last August. Raised on hip-hop and turntablists like Mix Master Mike, his sister's punk rock and his parents' Elton John and Bob Marley, DJ AM has a penchant for playing a little bit of everything, and it shines through in his mix.

"The bottom line is always focus on making girls dance," he says. "If I'm playing a bunch of masculine 1995 hip-hop, it's not really conducive with a dance floor." Get the real star treatment tonight.
