Friday night. Ken Collier tribute. This was at a really nice space just South of Jefferson near the Shorecrest Realy good sound, great vibe and good music. Al Ester was probably the highlight, haven't seen someone dance around behind the decks that much for a while. Sistrum/Aestethic Audio party. At a Jamaican juice bar on Woodward called Trenchtown. Really enjoyed the alcohol free atmosphere, it seemed noticeably different. More dancing for a start. Omar S came on at about 3.30. He was excellent, really hitting his stride, but we had to leave at 4 sadly.
Saturday night Soul Skate Excellent as ever. Great to skate to such good music and of course to watch the spectacle. Probably less exciting for North Americans but nothing on that scale exists in the UK that I'm aware of. Derrick May and Quentin Harris Brilliant downtown space, perfect for a party - small and dark. Both DJs good, was pleasantly surprised by Quentin Harris. He really plays his records well, if you know what I mean. Some techy less interesting bits but deployed some punishing female gospelly acapellas. It went off when he dropped 'Blow Your House Down'. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kuszynski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 25 May 2008 10:37 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) afterparty notes any reviews or thoughts on afterparties last night. -- --- Michael Kuszynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.planerecordings.com New York, NY
