Brief History of THE DOWNSTAIRS MIX UP

In the spring of 2007 I was looking for my first apartment with my dearest friend Blaine.
We found a place right off campus and I immediately was sold by the basement.
In speaking with a good friend about the folk/punk scene in Jersey he showed me a video on YouTube with them throwing a show in a living room.
A decent amount of people were there and clearly having a rocking time.
I was also beginning my first documentary production course in the fall and needed an idea to work on for the year.
I decided I would attempt to start a FREE venue for music and art, documenting from start to finish.
Since September of 2007, we've held over 15 shows with over 40 different artists featured and over 80 hours of footage.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
