breaksny Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Well this was alot of fun 4 the breaksheads who showed up anyway, even though the overall turnout was sadly down from last week. Sadly, those of you who didn't come missed a tight nite of music. I'm sure others will talk about other genres/DJs who played, but being me, I'll focus on the plethora we had of breax last nite. We got spoiled actually, since 6 jocks dropped different kinds throughout the nite: Mark (dunno yer DJ name and didn't catch yer set so I can't review it, sorry), Miss Bliss, Rob Tangent & Shady J (who tagged team for over an hour @ the end actually), Mike Robinson, and the mighty CER. The always funky Miss Bliss funked it up for her set, and made it clear to me afterward her trademark (well one of) Fla sound wasn't there in this set, but very nice ravey beats and solid electro samples, and records were. She even approached some of the badass Draco-esque electro that I think of as Shugga's sound toward the end of her set. I detected Fla influences in her sound last nite, but it was certainly different from the norm I'm used to hearing from her. Not as hard as what she spun @ K Rock 2 weex ago, but as always, blissful listening and dancing music indeed. The Heart Soul hit the decks a lil later in Room 2 (where Cara played also) and threw one hell of a curveball to kick off his set, "Play That Funky Music White Boy!" Wow was that a stunner. Over @ least the rest of the 1st half of his set, Robinson proceeded through some of the jazziest, tightest, and most funk filled 70s party classix I've probably heard @ any breax party since I got into this music a year or so ago. Talk about going back to your roots, this was so old skool it was really giving a musical history lesson to the kids in where some of the key musical influences behind all sorts of breaks lie. But the twists weren't done there, Robinson threw in some wikkid acid progessive breax in the 2nd half of his set which indeed were a nice change from one of his signature sounds. Quite interesting. A solid set all around indeed.I had to switch rooms to the front for the mighty CER who took the decks next and just banged the nu skool I loved for the next 45 minutes that had me very happy indeed. The one track I do remember was "Temptation," from the Plumps "Elastic Breax" mix. But he banged other top flyers like a new mix of K & B's "Morpheus," which I don't think I'd heard b4. He had a few other traxx I couldn't id, but which I knew and just rocked the main floor of pseudo. Seriously, no one bangs the best genre of breaks the way CER does (well none of the guys anyway :. But in all honestly, Mike is in a class by himself, and just completely stole the nite for me, hands down. CER is the shit, miss booking him for your party @ your own risk! Finally, around 2 AM, Room 2 picked up for the wikkid tag team between Tangent and Shady J, which just took Fla and electrobreaks to another level. This was some tight, tight music that had the people who were in the room dancing their asses off. I don't think I've heard anyone do electrobreaks as well here in NY, with the exception of Shugga and Lee Coombs @ Daybreak. The transition between the 2 and the back forth of the tag teaming was exciting and inspiring to watch, for anyone who appreciates any kind of music, just as it would be for any DJ. Tangent's scratches were off the fuckin hook and the only I've seen who I can think of who approaches his skill in that department is DJ Wool. And clearly, Shady J's skill on the decks with electro traxx is nearly unmatched among NY breaks jocks. A top tag team, that was still sizzling along when I left around 3:15AM.All in all the mighty Maudy, Morgan, and everyone who runs Pseudo have clearly put together one of the top dance music parties in the city, which you need to c to catch the likes of Chris the city's newest dnb badass, as much as you do to catch some of the best breax talent on the East Coast. Shoutouts to the Mikes, Rob, Mark, Kristie, JoeyG, Chris the dnb badass, Crobra Chris, Maudy, Cara, Morgan, and everyone affiliated with Pseudo (yes that includes all you NBers (naughtybooth & nubreakers), CPers, and BAers (BigApple). A phat nite was had by all. And by all means, catch the badass K-Swing & Rob Tangent Sat @ Kingsize's party @ Drinkland (339 E. 10th St.). Tangent's also spinning tonite @ another Kingsize party, info is on the Big Apple and Kingsize-USA websites. Hope to c u all @ Static next week too for Elite Force & Luke Slater (121 St. Marks, free b4 11, open bar 8-9). Peace out and happy Vatentine's to all the lovaz and all the wannabees comme moi.

roha3000 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Aside from the plethora of technical difficulties throughout the night, the music was tight and was a good time as always. Big props to Bog who threw down his first house set ever, which coincidentally, was by far his best set ever. You just can't go wrong laying down DJ Dan style monster tracks. Two weeks until my trance debut. I can't wait to bang it out on Bog's Cerwin Vegas. I hope there is a better turn out than this week. With Bog bringing down his monster equipment setup, it will definitely be a night not to be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugwump Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Thanks for swinging by cara.I think opening three rooms made the place a bitmore spread out than last few weeks.More DJs got to spin but roomsfelt empty at several points inall the rooms.It was really great to hear Mike, Rob TCer and Maria(go411) as well as severalothers dropping down breaks.Next time I think pseudo's keepingit down to two rooms and are gonnawork on the whole sign up thing.Watching that was like watching Piranasattack someone at the front door@ 8:00pm.Oh and unfortunately CUT CHEMISTpulled a no show:( Leaving many of us bumbed out.FUN NIGHT THOUGH!Thanks for swinging by~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogb Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Originally posted by mugwump Next time I think pseudo's keepingit down to two rooms and are gonnawork on the whole sign up thing.No...No...No... I really dig the 3 room idea.More DJ and more music diversity.And with the number of DJ showing up I could only imagine the mayhem @ signup time.

entheogen8 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 kick ass night over all!!! Tangent was hot on those decks, and mike robinson fucked shit up really good too. I forget his name but the guy that was spinning hardcore at like 130 was a real blast from the past for me. Also, whoever was in the back room at 3 am, I really enjoyed his set too.My only complaint about pseudo is that the middle room, which seems to get the most people in it, has the crappiest sound. And the big, front room, which is mostly empty, has the best sound.Cool night, cool vibes. Everybody that was there rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
