What a wild night in Detroit! We knew ya'll would git down with us, but we had no idea how many were truly down with our git ta git down!
All apologies for the limited space & access at Studio 54 on Saturday night. Thank you for bringing some key things to our attention- we are excited to improve this event with each opportunity and we love your feedback.
The early shut down was not cool, and some fellow dub-lovers were unable to get into the venue, which is even more uncool. W.T.F. WE ARE SO SORRY! We wanted to play with you, bad, like really bad. Joe Le was crying about it for a good 20 minutes on the couch by the live painter. And then somewhere around 3am (a good hour before expected curfew) I get a burly man next to me and he's all "there too many kids here, we gotta cut this party off." And I'm all smiles like "woah man, we wanna stay, what do we hafta' do for ya, you're not having fun with us?" And he's all puffing his chest out and maybe it was supposed to be hot and distracting. He must not have fully understood the power of dub. So I was all "Come look at this sweet live painting over here" And he's all "Baby, we gots to start gettin people out." No budge, huh...Rawr. So then the pout face went on and I'm all "You guys want me to leave?" And he's all "No baby, we want you to stay, you guys are awesome, let's get this proper next time." And I'm like "Oh, word. Thanks for the compliment, I know we are sweet, look at all this blacklight paint on me, let us stay" cough cough and all that. And he's all "It's time, we're filled over capacity, we gotta' shut down." Eventually, I just hugged him and said thanks for being so understanding, and kinda' walked away with a grin because that lil' negotiation shredded us another half hour of dirty dubstepping. I'm smart. Tee Hee.
Next event on 12/12 is in The Leland Ballroom and we will have MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE & TIME to hoop, bounce, paint, massage, play, and rage.
Big ups to the baddest man DJ Commerce who brought that raw Wu-Tang style ruckus to start the night off proper. His set repped hard: Gang Starr, Big L, Nas, and on and on and on. Hafta' ask- did that boy blow a speaker super early? Or was it just the tripped out kid by the speaker who claimed he couldn't feel his ears? Anywho, just after 1 in tha mornin' DJ KatDog took to the booth and got bodies sexy swaying to Portishead's "Numb" dubstep remix -- some Saul Williams sampling there was also treating us right. The night ended with a beautiful sing along moment of Bob Marley's "Is This Love" dub remix. The whole crowd was huggin' and holdin' hands and aw shucks, even I was singin' -- I wanna love ya and treat ya right!
Lights by Scott "Synjektion" ... He did some major work to get this event together for ya'll.
