DJ Spotlight - Rhythmystic
A message from Kenny:

This Sunday,
We'll get to play with a full range of connected sounds, from luminous pearls to silly
putty bass equations to pure soul music from the land of joy to unrepentant straight up
'n get down dirty ill-funk to the pure and deadly swinging high hats of deep jackin'
house to smacked up and peaked out breakbeat to the tribal catharsis and all the way
back down the ladder to a puddle on the floor. And 12 other sounds and styles from all
over the world that slide right in between all the other ones.

And for those that haven't been there and are wondering: this is not a laid back,
thinned out scene that's struggling to find it's critical mass. Uh, no. This is a packed,
bust out mob of dedicated sound and play movement sadhaks. The place is full to the gills, the dancers are hot and you can reach right out, grab the energy, pack it into a molten snowball, throw it and watch it spread out over the whole floor.

Quote of the Day


"We dance for laughter, we dance

for tears,

we dance for madness, we dance

for fears,

we dance for hopes, we dance

for screams,

we are the dancers, we

create the dreams."




In Gratitude,
