it's not strictly hiphop.  a lot of rare-groove too. 
it was started by the guys from breakestra--who used
to do a club called "the breaks" and it's fam
w/"bounce rock skate".  i went when they had cut
chemist & dj shadow before "scratchcon 2000" and it
was billed as "the funky four (cut, nu-mark, marvski &
j-rocc(?)) plus one more (shadow).  2x4 setup (2 djs
four decks), with all the guys tagging, and then cut &
shadow doing a special set together.  it's not always
like that, but they do get some top notch talent in
there.  sometimes they have live groups, too not just
djs.  good party GET THERE EARLY!!
