Last Friday, LALate really had an exceptional time, so much so, we wanted to get a review. First we hit up El Centro which arguably the week before was lacking. But this week, the crowd was packed (not fully, but just right), having a lot of fun, dancing, and with an amazing ratio of girls to guys. The music probably was the best thing going for this venue which one person from the east coast said to us gets thumbs down for using $9 plywood for wall covering of its patio, causing the person to ask seriously "so, when are they are finishing this place". Back to the music - A+. Here's a toast to a dj who can spin hiphop without spinning the same cliche trackes that everyone else is spinning and rather defaulting for lighter, uptempto tracks, less Ludacris more R Kelly, while still keeping the tempo right for avid dancers. The music was the bomb. But just when you thought good couldnt get better, off to Orion we want for an 18 and over affair that we could conversatively say had the hottest girls under one roof we've seen in ages all dressed in techno/house attire, a refreshing departure from the stale hiphugger off the shoulder look of the Hollywood scene. If you think you've heard good techno, drum and bass, and progressive, than you have no idea because this was the best fun to our music ears we've had in 2004. The party lasted to 6 am, even the stunning asian import model that gave us a light show with her raver lights - could she have been a cheerleader by heart because we've never seen moves like her with her arms - was going strong all night. Suddenly, we found ourselves becoming one with a scene that is young, unique, stunningly gorgeous, overall exceptionally pleasant and enjoyable to talk to, so much so, that you will be seeing from TeenLate a series of all age massive outdoor events in the next few weeks that push minicovers of nominal $5 for two day affairs. Whether it's hard techno, or so hiphop, El Centro and Orion proved why they are top venues in LA with a Friday night fun that won't be missed soon by LALate.com
