[Dynagroove] Piso Mojado review

[Hoang Luu]

We got there around 1:30, a bit later than anticipated, parked and  
actually walked across the street to the odd number side and was  
looking for the party for about 15 minutes with no luck.  We finally  
re-listened to the message and managed to finally find the  
"alleyway".  Proceeded to walk downstairs and we could feel the heat  
and musk shift up about 10 degrees.  In my opinion, it's not  
underground unless it's dark, hot, and sweaty.  Great little  
underground venue-  nice size dance floor, good sound, quick and easy  
access to the bathrooms, and hardly ever a wait a the bar.  I might  
add that the drinks were VERY reasonably priced and the bartenders  
were great, serving drinks with a smile each time.

The vibe in the place was great-- it was great to see all the heads  
I've met throughout the last few years and a few new ones-- everyone  
was very friendly.

As for the music, Olivier was playing his typical chunky, jackin  
house with lots of oldies and classics thrown in for good measure.   
To be completely honest, his set was a bit predictable until the last  
30-40 minutes when he picked it up and got me vibin.. seemed like he  
was taking more chances and the beats got a bit dirtier-- some of it  
may be the fact that I shop at Primal and have a majority of his  
records but in any case his set was solid.  We were about to take  
off, but Mikey Tello got on and picked it up a few notches and  
proceeded to drop some science for the next couple of hours.  My  
buddy looked at me and said go get another beer, that turned into 4-5  
more until the end of the night- he had me locked on the floor.   I  
have to say, I was very impressed-- that guy has great selection and  
programming/timing was spot on.

Overall, one of the better underground parties I've been to in a  
while.  I was disappointed I wasn't able to get there early to hear  
Joeshua, Bobby, and Cade, who I also heard threw down great sets.  My  
only suggestion for next time is to get a few big fans as it was a  
bit too hot.  Props to the MAUF crew for putting this on!  Can't wait  
for the next one.
