Dim Mak Tuedays last tuesday was host to a special Christmas party. With Dan Oh and Them Jeans on the decks, the closure of the big room didn’t keep anyone from having a great time. I had a great time and somehow ended up home at 7AM……
In more downer news, my camera’s focus engine died that night, and it’s in the shop being repaired. In the meantime, being Christmas and all, please pray for its speedy recovery. A third of the shots came out blurry; here are a few of the rest:
About a month ago, we checked out Be the D.A.N.C.E. exhibit. On display were 70 Justice D.A.N.C.E.-inspired t-shirts hand-painted by Simone Wicks [hmm.. that's a lot of hyphens]. If you haven’t seen them yet, the designs are awesome. She’s planning on selling these shirts, so if you’re interested we’ll have details for you soon.
It has been a year since Control has been going on every Friday at Avalon. It has monopolized the electro-house music scene since day one and almost every performance as been a memorable one. To kick off the one-year anniversary, check out a performance by one of the biggest names in the house music Armand Van Helden! Being part of Duck Sauce with A-Trak, AVH brings you some of the finest beats that have hit #1 in UK Charts and all over the world! Be there!
Listen to the original sample used for Duck Sauce’s hit aNYway!
Last Friday, we were at the biggest Control yet. I’ve never seen a line for the Avalon as long as the one for Rusko. I’ve heard that the house packed about 4000 people that night! On top of things, we even had trouble getting in, but once it was settled, we walked into one of the most intense gigs ever. The energy in the room was absolutely ridiculous. I suppose dubstep music is really getting big (…or rather IS already). Photos are up.
