Duck La Rock @ 2025 Louisville Turkey Trot
Late addition to the calendar, folks! I’ll be DJing at the finish area at tomorrow’s Louisville Turkey Trot in historic Louisville, CO!
Hope you’ll join us for a very Colorado kind of Thanksgiving morning in support of Community Food Share @communityfoodshareco
SIGN UP: communityfoodshare.org/turkey-trot/
Join us in supporting Community Food Share in helping provide families, children, and older adults with access to fresh, nutritious food. Last year’s race raised more than $76,000.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Duck La Rock, Boulder, CO’s premier web-footed DJ (avian), now offers both group and individual DJ lessons for tweens, teens, and adults.
Digital and all-vinyl DJing instruction are available for individuals and groups, as are one-time and recurring options.
Booking & Questions: Contact us!
Duck La Rock’s real name is Pete Welsch. His program of DJ instruction centers on the idea that anybody can be a DJ and frames the act of DJing as one of service.
We start with selecting music to suit a mood, adding those songs to playlists, and how to play those songs one after another using the controller and software (eg Numark DJ2GO2 and Serato DJ Lite).
With this in hand, we proceed to the fundamentals of beat-matching (finding the beat, counting bars, and simple controller techniques like the use of the control platter, pitch controls, and cue points) and other techniques. Students then have the opportunity to play and record sets using the playlists and techniques that they’ve developed.
Booking & Questions: Contact us!
Pete has been a DJ for nearly 30 years and plays frequently at events in Boulder, CO and the Front Range. He is a regular host of KGNU Community Radio’s morning and afternoon music programming and is a DJ and announcer at cycling events for Without Limits Productions.
He has taught many friends to DJ informally. His classroom instruction experience includes a required 300-level technology course while pursuing my MLS / MIS at IU Bloomington (2005), teaching computer and network basics, including Unix and HTML.

This Saturday I’ll be guest-announcing at Without Limits’ (@withoutlimitsco) Cyclo X Westminster cyclocross race and providing the race’s soundtrack as well.
Cyclocross is a great sport for spectating (off-road bike racing on a closed loop, lots of crazy obstacles, carnage) and it’s $free to watch. Come take in the scene!
