DIG x Therapy
@ Tokio - 1640 N Cahuenga Blvd (Cross Street: Hlywd Blvd)
Hollywood, CA 90028
10pm-2am
DIG: Dig was an underground event that I threw every now and then in LA. The
philosophy was simple...dig through the crates to find quality dance music
with soul, regardless of it's technical genre. the focus was always HOUSE,
especially rare remixes, edits, and unreleased promos....but nothing was
excluded....dance classics (past, present, & future), disco, r&b, soul, maybe even a rock
or reggae track....all were welcomed if the mood fit. And Dig was something i
generally tried to do for FREE. many of the real house heads I knew just
couldn't afford expensive covers. So I generally set aside a portion of my fees
from better paying out-of-state gigs and started a fund. Whenever I had enough
money to finance a free event, I'd throw a DIG party. And luckily, cats like
Roy Davis Jr., and others who were down for the cause, would donate their
services. Good times.
THERAPY: Therapy is a weekly Wednesday night party that pops off at Tokio in
Hollywood. It's thrown by 2 of the best House Music promoters in Los Angeles
(Sue Dred who promotes Balance @ King King, and Sam G. who co-promotes DEEP @
The Vanguard along with Maques Wyatt). It's a great night with a warm vibe.
It's straightforward House music that's guaranteed to keep you dancing and
smiling all night.
DIG vs. THERAPY: Therapy is safe & fun...but I personally feel that every now
and then there's room for a little more musical experimentation...at least
once a month. So in April, the promoters (Sue & Sam) gave me permission to bring
that DIG vibe to Therapy for one night only. The night was amazing...all the
heads showed up...clapping, singing, sweating, drinking, smiling....good times
& lots of good music. We broke out some very rare old cuts, as well as a lot
of unreleased promos that won't be out for many months (stuff from Louie Vega,
Blaze, Stevie Wonder, DJ Spinna, and much more). The vibe on that dancefloor
was a beautiful thing. So much so that the promoters let me try it again in
May....same result....amazing night...Andy Caldwell came through, we surprised
everyone with a live electric guitarist from Spain; live congas,
bongos....balloons.....a true old school vibe.
So we're doing it again this month on Wednesday June 27th. **JUST LIKE ALL MY
DIG PARTIES....This is something i'm doing strictly for the love. there's no
admission (it's free all night); there are no sponsors; and i get no cut of
the bar...no matter how good the night is, i literally receive no pay of any
kind...honestly. i've chosen to work for free, in exchange for the freedom to
present DIG the way i want to. i'm taking a risk, and counting on you for your
support.
If it goes well, it may turn into a monthly, but it will really depend on
your support this Wednesday.
If you've ever made it to DIG, MORE, PATH, or any of the clubs I've
co-promoted with my amazing former partners (Tony Watson, Juan Hoerni, Roy Davis Jr.,
etc.), then you know what kind of guests have graced the decks...often
unannounced....(names like Vikter Duplaix, King Britt, Marques Wyatt, Roy Davis Jr.,
Doc Link, Gene Hunt, Lady D., Rich Medina, Danny Krivit, Tortured Soul, Doc
Martin, Ron Trent, and more).
If this Wednesday goes well, I'm gonna try to bring that same DIG vibe (and
special unannounced surprise DJ's) to Therapy on a monthly basis....AND STILL
KEEP IT 100% FREE.
And trust, there won't be any of the usual Hollywood velvet rope
stuff....feel free to wear jeans, gym shoes, whatever you want...just be comfortable. DIG
has always been (and always will be) about quality music.
Please spread the word to your friends. I'm trying to keep the DIG
underground vibe alive, so there won't be any print or radio ads, and no flyers or
street promotion of any kind...this is literally a word of mouth event. Your
support is truly appreciated...for real.
