Skills Dj Workshop, the record store, will be closing our doors on July 26TH, 2009.After
10 long years of staying in business, we've decided to close the Skills
storefront and focus solely on our events and music production.
We’d
like to thank everyone for their continued support of our events,
music, Dj's and your love and dedication to the bay area electronic
music scene. We would not be here without you. MUCH LOVE from all of us
at Skills and we'll see you at our next event.

FEATURING:
DYLOOT (deep voices)Me? I'll tell my story at midnight. Please join me in a toast & a few good old SKILLS DJ Workshop stories.
TOM SLIKTom
it was your idea to open up the shop, even with my doubts with it all.
You sacrificed more than anyone to get it off the ground and inspired
me everyday, and even to this day, when all seems just a bit too
stressy, I reach back and pull through with the 'SKILLS' you taught me.
To date, Tom, I've never met a more loyal and dedicated person and I
could not have asked for a better business partner. RESPECT!
ENEMYIt
was Nelson who brought SKILLS to the digital world. For years he built
our websites and designed our event flyers and His influence on the Bay
Area NRG & Hard Dance movement can still be felt today. He worked
his way from store manager to part owner in only a years time. Thanks
Nel for just being you & for making me laugh for all those years. I
could not have done this without you.
DELPHIS (blix cannon)In
the summer 2004, SKILLS moved from 2575 to 2566 Telegraph Avenue, just
across the street, and less than a year later Tim took over as manager
of the store front. From running the front house for 15,000+ SKILLS
events to fixing every computer problem in existence, and to promoting
late nights, Tim, you did it all and the Bay Area community and I owe
our gratitude and will be forever in your debt. I'll save the rest
about Tim for our midnight toast : )
DJ DENISEDenise
was one of the first employees of SKILLS DJ Workshop and an
instrumental tool in the growth of the hard dance and NRG scene. Her
warm smile can be felt from a far and remembered for years. Thank you
D, I so appreciate everything you have done for me, the record shop and
the Bay Area Dance Scene. I have so much respect for you as an artist
and a friend. YOU ROCK!
BICOLASZac,
I"ve known you since the 11th grad & I consider you a brother and a
friend for life. Most of you may not know this, but Zac drew the very
first SKILLS flyer back in 1997 and helped build out the store from
ground up with Tom and I. Our Drum & Bass selection, both at the
shop and at our events, grew every year because of your persistence and
knowledge of what was happening in the 'now' with this classic genre.
For that and so many other things, I thank you from the bottom of my
heart. Good Times Zac!!
