[Dynagroove] ny info?

[Cade O Nelson]

I have no quams with this argument.  After spending over a month in NYC
this summer and into the fall.  And hitting up sattelite, dance traxx,
throb, halcyon (?spelling) and asking everyone in those shops what the
haps are.  I can say that no one had a single good sugestion.  Even body
and soul was very lackluster.  I would say 1 out of 8 tracks actually got
me moving.  The most success I did have was at centrofly.  I heard Derrick
Carter, Mark Grant, and Miguel Miggs (different days) and the music was
good but the crowd was the equivelent to a giant or hollywood athletic
club crowd.   The best music I heard was at halcyon in brooklyn and that
is a small cofee shop that has open decks.  I heard one guy playing really
good.  I walked up to him and asked "Where can I hear music like this in
this city?" and he straight up told me "nowhere."  As for NY I gave up on
the nightlife and found more fun walking around times square, soho, and
the village... record shopping is the bomb...
