[Dynagroove] Sunrise Sessions V. 02 REVIEW

[Antonio Barros]

Rarely do I write party reviews but when an amazing party comes along that 
makes you feel like you just have to talk about it, I do.  I must first tell 
you that I had helped the bodyrock djs transport and set up the sound for 
their last party (in the same location) but was unable to attend due to a 
surprise attack of food poisoning.  This was my chance to experience the 
magic that took place at the last Bodyrock party, the magic I'd heard so 
much about from my brothers and sisters.  The directions to the party were 
simple, there was plenty of parking, and getting in was extremely easy due 
to the very powertripless security letting people in.  Once inside, I found 
myself surrounded by my brothers and sisters and quickly found my groove as 
Lou laid down some very choice cuts.  I was very pleasantly surprised by 
Lou's set because I had never heard him mix before and wasn't sure what to 
expect.  He seamlessly mixed many tracks that I know and love, including one 
of my favorite sexy vocal tracks, Sweeter Sound by the Rurals.  I was really 
surprised to how hard Cade was groovin just before his set.  That takes 
guts.  Seriously, it can be difficult to make that shift in energy from a 
very kinetic and excited state to a somewhat more static and focused one.  
Cade played a funky set that had the subtle flavors of his disco roots 
popping out here and there, and except for that one little trainwreck, he 
played a very tight set, showing his ability to creatively control many 
frequencies at once.  I thought he was going to get all crazy with the 
effects processor and overdo it like he did on a Live at Dynagroove tape 
that I've heard, but he restrained and used the processor only during choice 
points during his set.  I don't know if I've been to a party with such a 
positive and outgoing vibe pulsing through each person there.  I had one of 
the best conversations with a cutie named Kelly (thank you) that I've ever 
had with a total stranger while out dancing.  Right before the Bodyrock Djs 
jumped behind the decks, Benjamin pulls me aside and asks me to help out 
with the refreshments.  No problem homie, it's my pleasure.  The vibe was so 
thick that there was no way to avoid having fun.  I had a truly jolly time 
just quenching people's thirst with the fairly priced drinks, all the time 
smiling and sending them positive vibrations.  After doing my good deed for 
the night, I made my way out onto the floor and was kept there until the 
last beat dropped.  I would like to thank everyone who made it out and 
especially those who had such kind words for me regarding my energy.  All I 
can say is that when I dance, the music feels like it's coming from inside 
of me.  Anyway, this email is getting way too long and I'm getting way too 
many cramps in my legs.  Thanks again Bodyrock Djs for an unforgettable 
night of dancing, connecting and healing.
