The Do-Over set off on their craziest California adventure to date with 3 full days of sunshine and sangria this September as we kicked off things for 2 days in Palm Springs with The Sleep-Over followed by an not-so-epic morning flight to San Francisco where we were greeted by a massive crowd at The Phoenix Hotel for The Do-Over SF.

Some of the sets from this trip were featured on Red Bull Music Academy Radio… Enjoy!

What a weekend it was… The Sleep-Over did not prove to be sleepy at all. From Saturday until the wee hours of Sunday morning, we pretty much showed the quiet town of Palm Springs, California how The Do-Over family gets down. Big thanks to all who ventured from as far as Belgium, our traveling LA circus and to those who rode their bikes from their homes in Palm Springs.

Many thanks to Red Bull Music Academy, adidas Originals, The Ace Hotel and of course our crew of DJ’s, photographers and videographers: Azul, DJ Day, Classixx, Billy Goods, LeFtO, DJ Pubes, Induce, Waldo, Morse Code, Han Cholo, Chris Laughter (VideoMouse), Al Myers, Connie and Rachel (The Ace) and AJ.

Happy 2011 from all of us to all of you… We really set the bar quite high with the infamous New-Over New Years Day party this year. We can’t wait to really do this big this year and have plenty of things coming your way, wherever you may be…

Thanks to Diplo, J.Rocc, Jack Beats, Jeremy Sole, Life and b-day boy Rockwell for the amazing selections. Thanks to Mark and Johnny and all at Jane’s House. Super big thumbs up to the 1,200+ people that braved those ugly hangovers to make their January 2nd even more painful.

The New-Over
New Location. Same Hangover.

Los Angeles… It would be tough to kick off a new year properly without The New-Over. What has become one of our craziest events each year just got a whole lot crazier…

Since exiting six wonderful years at Cranes, we didn’t want to settle for just any venue. We had to have an outdoor area, we needed more space for more people and we simply wanted a new atmosphere, all while maintaining our little house party / backyard feel. After checking out multiple venues and weighing out pro’s and con’s, we’ve decided we are going to spend our ultimate hangover at Jane’s House in Hollywood (view map). Jane’s House is an amazing Victorian house hidden behind Hollywood Blvd. with multiple levels and a massive wraparound patio. So, lets give it a shot and see if it can handle a doozy.

Saturday January 1st, 2011
2pm – 10pm
21+, Free / No Cover
Open Vodka Bloody Mary Bar from 2-4pm (*while supplies last)
All of your Do-Over favorites (BBQ, Sangria) plus some new surprises.

Let’s kick off 2011 with the biggest Do-Over party to date!

What’s better than seven deejays rocking the tables all day long. Try eight! You can always expect the unexpected at The Do-Over and this past Sunday didn’t let us down. Meech started us off with some smooth soulful selections before picking up the pace to transition into DJ Expo’s mashup madness. Miami brought the heat with Induce and Manuvers before Ohmega Watts shocked us with an electrifying set. We all got tangled in Spider’s web of decibel deception and almost wet our pants when Them Jeans hit the scene. Our good buddy Jedi returned to strike back against the radio with his light saver. Another memorable day in sunny Southern Cali at The Do-Over.

The Do-days of September are no joke. Over the years things usually calm down following Labor Day, but this season proves that we can’t base anything on history. A couple of birthday parties arriving early and “BLAM” we have a party poppin’ off from the get go.

We had a bunch of good friends, as well as a hip hop legend come through and rock out on the decks with us this past week. Haycock handed over the early control to Don Guapo visiting us from the Bay. Glenn Red, a veteran since year one joined us for the first time ever next. Sabo, who has many a Do-Over under his belt, added some crazy cumbia / moomba styles as it got more and more sweaty. The one and only Prince Paul showed up and showed us how to work some drops. He is the king of the skit in our opinion, so why not. NYC’s DJ Ayres rubbed it up and down as the sun tucked away. Lastly but never leastly, Valida closed it off in always beautiful fashion (sorry the recorder mysteriously stopped 13 minutes into your set girl). I guess folks should have been there.

This upcoming Sunday we run The Do-Over in 2 locations at the same time once again. Portland will be jumpin’, L.A. will be crushin’. If we were tech savvy we would link them up via the interwebz with cameras, but we aren’t.

Not too many weeks to get it in, so it’s swag time folks…

Labor-Over? Ha, the rebranding of The Do-Over for special occasions has become an infatuation of late. How many “-over” things have been coined? Too many perhaps. This past Labor Day Sunday festivities were definitive of what The Do-Over is all about. Our favorite friends, great crowd, amazing DJ sets, and lots and lots of drinking thanks to the extra encouragement of the holiday on Monday. We don’t hate holiday Mondays one bit!

Kickin’ it off, Mr. Strong handled the two plus opening hours while the shade was the VIP. All the way from Bristol, via Columbia, Ethiopia and so many points between, Quantic provided some next level sounds that were pushing the future and the past all at once. Looking around seeing seasoned DJ’s with hands in the air is something else. One of the coolest dudes from the Bay, J-Boogie, came swinging for the fences and kept it extra sweaty. From NYC, The Rub’s own Eleven was next up and he set the party on fire. Finally, our annual regular from the very very north of Europe, Finland to be exact, Anonymous schooled us all once again. In true Labor day fashion, the party seemed to tick right along in various places throughout LA even after we closed, but some things are better left unmentioned.

Nice to have a true hot August Sunday on us to reassure us we are in LA and summer isn’t over. You know it just gets spicier as we roll into September and October? Well, that’s our prediction and we are standing by it.

Helping to ease into the sangria spills, Haycock kicked things off in the sweaty sun handing it off to our good pal Rareform. Jerome Baker from D.C. followed up as the shade started to kick in. Next-up, the man too many talents to list, Bobbito, travelled from NYC with a special box of 45′s. DJ Day took it into the night with an extremely heavy set, many giving it the thumbs up for the season. Closing it down, in honor of MJ’s birthday, Peanut Butter Wolf dropped a special VIDEO tribute set and lit the backyard up.

Wow! So we are convinced Portland likes to party. We are fully advised that Portland likes to party at The Do-Over. From the look on everyone’s faces throughout the day, it was difficult not to come to that conclusion. Our second installment of The Do-Oregon was a smashing success. Our first edition was great and this easily surpassed it in energy according to those lucky enough to enjoy both.

The Do-Over’s Aloe Blacc and Haycock handled the hosting duties, while Portland friend Ohmega Watts repped for the locals. LA’s own (thee) Mike B & Adam 12 provided all sorts of smiles for the 2nd half of the day, switching off every half hour, easily topping the levels that we predicted.

Big thanks to adidas for the continued support in Portland. Many thanks to Red Bull and Bacardi for extra support. Special shouts to the Portland staff headed by Connie and Alan.

We will return for the 3rd and final installment of 2010 on Sunday September 19th. We will be bringing our biggest lineup to date. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Go ahead and RSVP at www.thedoover.net/portland

Historically, Sunset Junction weekend was The Do-Over’s slowest day of each season, but the times sure have changed as we hit capacity early and didn’t let up until the last song.  It was an action packed day complete with 8 guests from all walks of life and points on the map:  Antiq, Danny Halloway, Prince Language, King Most, DJ Moma, Dam-Funk, Steve Arrington & Spinderella provided a musical journey for 8 hours, while Azul filled in on the MC duties. We could get into the details of each guest’s set, but it’s best to let the audio, photos and videos do the talking.
