Great news! Just heard that John Acquaviva is djing in LA on thursday
night. I'll finally get to give this Finalscratch thing the "boogie n'
bass" test (thats a technical term don't worry if you don't understand)
here's the link: http://www.remedyent.com/ .Also Alton Miller at Deep on
the 19th www.deep-la.com. The Terrence Parker/Rick Wade/Mike Huckaby night
was better than I could have hoped for. Despite the competition of a
mega-hyped house event the same night, there managed to gather an allright
turnout. Rick Wade started the night's music, and did not disappoint my
expectations with his set of deep dirty house. Terence Parker was next. At
that point the crowd met it's maximum potential in size and energy. Terence
Parker's set made me remember that house dj's can scratch and still keep a
party hopping, unheard of in the house scene here AFAIK . I think alot of
the more close minded heads were turned off by the amount of tricks TP
pulls from his sleeves, but personally I was jammin along with every flick.
And the trainspotter highlight of the night was a routine with double
original copies of Capricorn's "I Need Love". Solid fun. Finally Mike
Huckaby finished off the night with some solid pounding grooves to a
smaller audience of thirsty dancers, eventually fading out the mix at 4 am.
To be honest I was too lost in the chug to make any insightful remarks
(chemically free you cynics) about the rest of the night except that it was
"D"ope. For me, the hard deep style of those djs was a refreshing change of
pace from the usual house parties here, and juding from the crowd's
reaction I think most of those in attendence would agree, especially the
many cats gettin funky on the floor.
Last night, at the latest in a series of events called Black
Palette Circuitry, Afronaught played a great selection of vinyl and cdrs.
He played for about three hours, and despite some skip prone decks and a
couple of spotty mixes it was some serious fun. Real good 2-step and what I
guess is called broken-beat with a few deep house stompers like Blaze's
"How Deep is Your Love". He played a couple of great mixes of the track
with the "stop, stop and wonder why" vocal, maybe by Dego? Ok thats all.
