[Dynagroove] am i too late? ;p

[karmannvw :)]

Hey never too late for a review right?!? ;p I’ve been so busy with skool and 
work that I haven’t had time to give props to all the dope parties I went to 
last week!

FRI
*stopped by ‘more’ real early to hear some outta the ordinary yummy stuff 
from scott k and tony watson. i don’t usually go early (~10pm) but they 
started the night out with some older and real groovy stuff. they brought up 
the vibe in no time, and before you know it, neil aline was up on the decks. 
i didn’t get to hear him long cuz i was on my way out, but he was definitely 
representing the chez deep sounds :)

*stopped by ‘freethinking’ – haven’t been there since the venue expanded. i 
love the new spacious venue (still lotsa heads but more space ta dance!) :) 
met a lot of dope new people :p  i don’t remember the name of the special 
guest DJ who was rockin it but he definitely made daaance :)

*stopped by miceli’s down the street from freethinking for the bodyrock DJs’ 
‘basement bump’. (monthly?) the venue is cozy and intimate, and the energy 
of the crowd was dope! the sound was good – just enough to have it engulf 
you on the floor, enough for people to talk in the back.  its always 
exciting to see ben, marcus, and soul play together or even separately, and 
see them move and get so into their music.  i like how although they play 
lotsa good house, they incorporate some hip-hop, breaks, funky stuff, old 
stuff, soulful stuff, etc. they defintiely live up to their name!

SAT
*stopped by ‘organic soul’ at the voodoo lounge. i was impressed! they had a 
good turnout especially with the amount of 4/20 parties :) there was a line 
but i got in quickly with no prob. cute stylin hostesses! i like the 
venue…kinda reminded me of a smaller mayan with its decorations. i got there 
and saw gerry meraz. he was lighting the dance floor with some smooth house 
and went on to the more funky deep stuff :) wally callerio definitely played 
some eye-raising music – i always like hearing the different and new stuff. 
i dug the upstairs too - there was a chick spinnin some hiphop. small rooms 
upstairs but ample sound :)

*stopped by the ‘roam’ art/music party out in a huge wherehouse/loft space 
near east la. i was also impressed  because i heard it was put together so 
last minute. there was a lot of dope murals, crazy installations, some 
computer generated art done by this guy suspended about 15-20 feet off 
ground, and other mediums of art on display throughout the space and rooms. 
i caught joey santa cruz spinning some house, mellow at first until he 
gradually built a good tight enthusiastic dancing crowd.

*i topped the remainder and most of my evening off at dynagroove’s 3 year 
partAY. …WOW. that was a lot of fun. great venue, dope staff, grrreat vibes, 
dope people, dope dancers! the rooms were so yummAY, I had to keep running 
from one room to the next. i always enjoy listening to diz and he has yet to 
disappoint me! it was my first time listening to jaime thinnes and I really 
had to tear myself away from his room sometimes to run back to diz. i really 
freed out much of my stress from the week by dancing it all off there. $2 
waters rock! you guys care! thank you!!!

SUN
*stopped at ‘deep’ for matty heilbronn. ok – now he is like the epitome of 
deep in deep house. i was mostly closing my eyes the whole time dancing off 
in my little world. marques just really knows who to pull in.

great exhausting weekend – needless to say i crashed the f out when I got 
home. :)
