[Dynagroove] That's What House Is About!!!

        So can I begin to tell you all that weren't there how amazing Balance 
was Saturday night at the King King.  I'll even go as far as saying that it 
was better than the night Heather played.  The night started off like any other 
night with the resident Kenny playing his usual deep house that's good I 
guess for starting out the night.  On a side note, Sue, you should have Kenny and 
Toddley rotate or something, maybe to change it up a little.  Just my opinion. 
 OK, anyways, back to the night.  At about 12:40 Carlos Mendoza, part of the 
Lawn Chair Generals, took over.  And all I can say is hot damn.  That's What 
House Is About!  Carlos was throwing down some of the most booty shakin, hands 
clapping, bangin house tracks that I have ever heard.  He reminded me of old 
Doc.  You know the old Doc that rocked Ju Ju Beats at Santa's Village like 6 or 
7 years ago.  If that wasn't enough he played about 7 or 8 tracks that 
brought me back to the mid 90s.  And he played a new bootleg version of my favorite 
song "Midas Touch" by Midnight Star.  It sounded slower like the original, not 
like the faster remake Josh Wink did.  It was dope.  On another side, all you 
DJ's that have old records wipe off the dust and start putting them back in 
your rotation.  All the young kids will think they are new, and for all of us ol
d mutha fucka's it will bring back memories.  Yay for Cade and Zack throwing 
the Solid Gold parties.  Anyways, again back to Balance.  At about 2:30 the 
crowd started to thin a little which made for some more dancing room, always a 
bonus.  I have to admit, though the place was packed the crowd seemed to be 
loving the night even without much room to dance.  Around 3 am Tim Finn from New 
Zealand took over.  He didn't even skip a beat and was able to continue the 
flow of energy that Carlos was laying down.  His style was a little mellower 
than Carlos, but still had me and the remaining crowd rocking out.  Tim's record 
selection was dope because he played a lot of records that I have never heard, 
which is always nice.  All in all by far one of the best nights that I have 
had in a long time.  And in my opinion one of the top nights at Balance.  Oh 
ya, it was good to see Fabian, Amy, and Mark come out of hiding.
