[Dynagroove] Weekend Review

[Emily Sinclair]

Man am I jealous. I spent my weekend in Vegas having to listen to
nauseatingly bad DJs playing songs like "Groovejet"  remixed with "Everybody
Dance Now" by C & C Music Factory.  I know, it's very hard to believe, but
they actually put those two songs together. And this was at Vegas' touted
new clubs like "Rain" at the Palms, and Bellagio's new club "Light."  The
only Light I'd like to bring to that club is that it's the rich person with
no Rhythm's nightclub.  Truly painful experiences at both. Lest I forget to
mention that there is now a standard $20 cover at almost ALL the clubs in
Vegas now and they don't even let ladies in for free anymore, unless you're
a Nevada resident. And then of course once you get in, everyone is doing the
White Guy from Idaho shuffle, cause they learned all their dance moves from
the last Bel Biv Devoe video they saw back in '89.

People, I'm here to remind you how damn lucky we are to live in LA and have
a cornucopia of opportunities to partake in where beats are phat and the
covers are slim.

Bless you, CADE!

> This weekend was full of good talent in LA:
> 
> Friday- Wax crew at freethinking.. Kasey was rockin' it outside, playing
> some really good rare stuff! Inside Juan and Chris were both playing
> some really good tunes also, and the mixing was nice and smooth.
> 
> Saturday- Stopped by Downtown to see Benjamin warming things up, this
> guy just gets better and better, lots of love put into his music. After
> a quick flyer dropoff at the Joeski party we were off to see DJ Deep.
> Got there right as he was going on and stayed for the whole set. He was
> really good, keeping the tempo varied slightly, but still having the
> dancefloor in his hands. Lots of good afro beat stuff that was really
> nice to hear out for a change.. Props to the unionsoundsystem crew for
> once AGAIN bringing out some fresh talent that proves to be good!!
> 
> Sunday- Deep with King Britt and DJ Yellow. King was blowin' it up when
> we got there, a little pumpin' for my tastes, but still had the whole
> crowd moving and he looked like he was having a great time. DJ Yellow
> stepped up, kept it pumpin' for about 30min and then just dropped it
> down to a really nice slow groove and rebuilt from there. From about
> midnight on, I was just waiting for one song I didn't like so that I
> could head out and get some needed rest. Needless to say that didn't
> happen until about 1:30 and even then it was still TOO good, but I just
> couldn't dance anymore. I had gone expecting a chill night and ended up
> dancing non-stop and workin' up a sweat!! I would rate DJ Yellow in the
> top 5 DJ's I've seen easily after witnessing his amazing track
> selection, perfect programming, and wonderful mixing skill. He even let
> 2 or 3 songs play out throughout his set so he could start up again at a
> different tempo/style and it would just work perfectly.
> 
> Highlights from his set: Love Sensation, Gypsy Woman, Dropping the
> original Jill Scott track and mixing into the house remix, and some
> others! :)
> 
> 
> Get some rest, this upcoming weekend looks to be just as good!
> 
> Los Angeles is on fire.
