missed the roots manueva show last night at knitting factory
but i went to the after party at this really cool bar at kent & south fifth
and i must say, THESE WERE THE BEST DJs THAT I'VE HEARD SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
they played real-deal junglistic music then into raw house back into junglism back to raw house, etc, and some very raw 2-step here and there
(i.e., jungle is not drum + bass and it ain't the rebel mc and don't let anyone tell you otherwise)
(which isn't to say the rebel mc isn't good, he's just overly developed)
unfortunately i can't remember the names of the djs as i lost it completely and downed an endless stream of scotch rocks
and sadly, it was a one-off
o/w i'd be there every weekend
even so, everything about this place was right on it
the crowd, the vibe, the chemistry
all the mc's were white english people, except for roots manueva
and one was a girl
they didn't over-work the mic and they kept the party rocking
not that the mc's were particularly good or anything
this party was all about the DJ's
overall impression = very very very very very impressed
six stars on a scale of five
in general, keep your eyes out for places & parties on kent b/c another place on kent was recommended to me a while ago but i've yet to check it out
