cortex Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 4.26.03DESTINATION: Area 51The eerie Area 51 will be tonight’s Destination. We’ll be deckin’ out the Tunnel sci-fi extraterrestrial style (including massive projection screens!), and are providing the perfect soundtrack to match. Pure Detroit techno from the esteemed legend Juan Atkins will be complemented by the dark tribal perfection of desert rave hero John Kelley. Pittsburgh’s Zelch Brothers will be contributing to the madness with their techno and trance tag-team, and DC Skillz’ own DJ Strickt will be laying down one of his signature acidic and trancey hard dance sets.

Tonite we are proud to present Matrix and Fierce - two of the hottest producers on the circuit. Representing Virus, Metro and Quarantine Records, these djs are great on their own, but even better together under one roof. If you were lucky enough to catch Matrix' spectacular set on New Years Eve at Sonar - you know what to expect from this man. Nothing but pure funk. Being Optical's younger brother, it’s not hard to find similarities in their styles but Matrix brings his own unique funk to the table. Just check the timeless album "Sleepwalk" out on Metro for a taste of what’s to come. Joining this dynamic duo are two of DC’s favorite masters of the future funk - Impulse and MC Mecha. You know them from the powerful production team Sinthetix; having raised the bar considerably for producers worldwide, Impulse and Sinthetix put Washington DC on the map with their own ruthless breed of neurofunk. Seemingly overnight, Sinthetix became one of the biggest names in drum'n'bass. Tonite, Impulse and Mecha lay down the ultrafunk for the Massive; representing Sinthetix, Subtitles and Renegade Hardware - Impulse is launching his own label Ultraviolet Recordings, including artists Skynet and Kemal with worldwide Distro in the next few months. Dropping the freshest dubs always, watch the dancefloor explode as Impulse rinses out a crate of new material - including upcoming Subtitles releases "Corrupt Souls" and "Trapped." Also on the night is DC's own smooth operator mrn. You know him from his residencies at Act Your Age and Volume. You've seen him mash it up with Eternal and Ransom at previous DC Skillz events. Come see why Matty/mrn has gained worldwide acclaim as one of the most reputable DJs in the dnb game.

spinsaikel Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Originally posted by vicman i just know spinsaikel will be all over this one. You bet yer billyclub I will. This lineup isn't that bad. John Kelly and Juan Atkins are decent djs. I just dont know about the "breath taking lightshows" part. The lighting wasn't all that special. They did have lasers going though.

cortex Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 Your cars are safe. After realizing the venue's staff failed to live up to their promise of watching the cars, we hired our own guys to do it. We're going to have people designated to watch your cars all night long from 9pm-5am. This is effective immediately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you parked on the street, a bum would come up and offer to watch your car for you for $1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
