Lat night with Keoki/DB and Dara (Review)

[mugwump]

Marathon..

Breakbeats @ Guernica vrs the

the all mighty king Keoki @ saphire

lounge..

Breakbeat science broke out all the OLDIE BUT GOODIES

(kinda...?)

@ Guernica...

reminded me of walking into a store

like "LOVE SAVES THE DAY"

with old toys:

"Hey look I had that scooby doo box

when I was five..

and that RD2D at age 12!"

But all the toys look so rinka dink now..

and kinda dirty and used up all

broken like..!

y'know?

By the end I came to the conclussion

that I prefer to listen to DB in his

"TRUE" break beat guru sets!

As much as I still found it amusing to hear him

spin tracks that I haven't heard since

I was wearing Jenkos and sucking on

pacifiers(I'll dig up the pics one of these days kiddies)..

I still longed for a less "topical" gimic

set.

Plus...

the mixing was waaaayyy off..

JESUS

Did DARA AND DB FORGET

how to mix..build and PLAy around

with the shit they grew up with?

Perhaps they should just stick to

what they really are good at..

breakbeat science

DRUM AND BASS

and nothing less!

(sigh)

It was still fun hearing nostalgia booming

from G's speakers though..

(Did they turn those fuckers down finally?

I was kinda surprised at the low volume!

Or perhaps me going deaf has something to do with it..)

great seeing many of you there

and talking to DB and Reed Speed

bout shit!

RANDY's flyer art sculptures

should be auctioned off for a cause.

Guy's a born artist!

************************

Round 2:30ish

Ran to Saphire lounge and managed to

catch the last hour and a half

of Keoki..

what a treat that was!

the man is a supa star status

kinda guy and

he managed to swing by a BAR NO LESS

and spin a bangin set for $5 !!!

Great sound..

great tracks..

(dark to funky..

sprinkled with that

Cheese he's famous for

that's a guilty pleasure

to dance to..)

Shirtless with a neck tie

and his legendary Tatoos

he wraped it up round 4:30

to a very happy crowd

that managed to share an intimate treat

with a legend!

IN THE END BREAKBEAT

TAUGHT ME THAT THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS

"CLASSICS"..

BUT KEOKI MADE THE ENTIRE PRESENT

A "CLASSIC" MOMENT OF INTIMATE GREATNESS..

So who the fuck needs the big clubs..?

I just cleansed my palete

with a well needed rinse of

underground COSEY

lounges and GREAT music..

And I only spent $40 clams!

GOD I LOVE THE QUICK "HUMBLE" TURN THE CITY'S TAKING FOR

THE BETTER!

NEXT UP:

SANDRA COLLINS @ FILTER 14!

Bumpooola!

Why did all this have to be on a Monday night - the most hated day of the week???

[gqraver]

I actually made it there last nite. I was in a drunken haze from a company outing. I proceeded to go home after the outing, change and head over. I think I was there from like 11:30 - 1:30, I didn't hear any breaks or D&B as far as I can remember, but I was pretty trashed.

For anyone who was there, I was the guy with jeans, an Orange long sleeved shirt withwhite strips on the side, and a black knit. I was breaking a bit with some guys in the middle of the floor (if any of you post on this board it was fun), and I'm glad I didn't seriously hurt myself considering the condition I was in.

I don't think I saw you there Mugz, but it was decently packed and I wasn't really circulating the floor too much.

Overall fun time.

Aight, back to my hang-over at work.

peace

MONDAYS ARE THE BEST NIGHTS

IN MY OPINIONS FOR SEVERAL REASONS:

*No meetheads, Guidos or hoochies ever go out on Mondays.

*There is always room to dance on the floors after 2:00am..

*If you turn around and ask someone a "musical"

question they usualy are prety into the scene..

ONLY THE TRUE FAN, DIE HARD, NIGHTCREATURE

THAT TRUELY LOVES THAT ONE SOUND GOES OUT ON MONDAYS!

IF YOU LOVE A DJ/EVENT ETC.. ENOUGH

MONDAYS ARE WORTH THE PAIN!

I use to do it often working at my old job..

I guess I'm just a trainspotter like that!

(Then again I'm going deaf so

there you go..)

[go411]

I guess you're right mugz but, I can't pull the week nighters anymore. This 30 yr old lady can't get out of bed on time for work if I go out on week days.... I'm glad u can reprezent for tha peeps ... so jealous!!! aaaaaawwww maybe I should just quit this freakin JOB :mad:

Here's Mug'z

old formula on how to survive the day after

on weekdays:

(from when got up EVERYDAY at the crack of dawn

to go make cartoony pictures)

1) Go home after work

and perform the three "SH"s..

(Shit,Shower and shave)

*later one not aplicable to the ladies.

2)GO STRAIGHT TO BED!

(set alarm clock to desired wake up time..

usualy two hours of REM for mua..)

3) Wake up..

Pop a stacker

and take a cold shower...

4)Hit the town...

5) go home and nap

for half an hour..

6) Wake up

and repeat #1..

followd by #3

7)Take Vitamins,Echanechia

and drink LOOOTS of water

@ work..

(Bloody Marys at Lunch help too..)

FOLLOW THESE STEPS AND YOU JUST MIGHT

BECOME A WEEKDAY TROOPER

IN NO TIME!

*Cycle not recomended every week..

for everyone.

You'll never hear

Keoki in a small BAR

Love of music has it's prize!

(PERMANENT JETLAG..

BUT GREAT MEMORIES)

You are only young ONCE..

and I believe in one Moto:

"LIFE MOVES PRETTY FAST..

IF YOU DON'T STOP AND LOOK

AROUND ONCE IN A WHILE...

YOU COULD MISS IT!

[blowflyii]

Grandma's comming out tonight!

ps: sorry mugz but you are older than she is.

Not that you can't hang or anything......

[Guest tilly]

A really famous person put this in the best way possible, "you are like gum on my shoe."

[blowflyii]

I have more substance than gum, party gum? Can-you-say Trident.

Blowfly takes gum off tilly's aching feet and throws it in the garbage pail. Wear sneakers

Tilly:mad:

Blowfly: turn your frown upside down

Tilly:

[go411]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........ YOU'RE RIGHT MUGZ. I NEED TO GET MY GRANNY ASS OUT AND SUPPORT. THIS BIIAAATCH HAS BEEN COUPED UP FOR TOO LONG ................................................GONNA TAKE MY VITAMINS AND BE OUTIES AAAIGHT. "TRUST"

[mugwump]

Both you kids behave..

I wrote something that

I experienced last night

beyond Personal

issues..

(I don't want this thread tossed in the

"Drama" room where

you both all too often recide.)

STICK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND

OR GO TALK ABOUT GUM IN

A BLOWFI & STOPIT THREAD..

I'm feelin' nothing but looove at the moment!

Don't burst my bubble~

[blowflyii]

I love everyone except sandra Collins, hehe.

I wish I went to Db last night, I got sick from being up for too many hours and singing, I can barely speak. I like small intimate venues like guernica and filter 14.

Mugz....a brother of a friend of mine promotes a gay night at fun on thursday nights named Rob. Tought you might know him, his sister has heard of you.

It is hard for me to stay on the subject at hand....I have add dyslexia, and sometimes focus is not all there. There is a new med out called focusfree or something. I might try it.

Ciao

uh...

like whatever dude.

for me it felt as though db was taking us to school...

as if to say "This is what i heard when i arrived

from the UK in 1993. I hope you enjoy."

AND DJ'S DON'T *ALWAYS* HAVE TO HAVE FLAWLESS SETS.

in fact, i like it sometimes when they just fuck around

to please themselves, first and foremost. maybe not

the 'best' mix, but what you get is some REALLY

UNIQUE TRACK SELECTION and VARIETY.

and for the record, inventing the game "FLYER JENGA"

was a collaborative effort by randy And myself.
