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…

Remember when you were a kid and you made a mistake in a game?  All you wanted was a second chance…a Do-Over. Well that’s definitely what we need for this past Sunday. Haycock opened us up and Don Guapo took us to his humble abode with an enlightening and danceable house set in the early hours. J-Boogie gave us some bay area love with remixes and mashes that kept us grooving until King Britt came through with a unique blend of hip hop and new soul. Maseo was just about to set the place on fire when a tussle erupted over old and new school hip-hop, or was it Pepsi and Coke, or maybe it was whether or not 9th Wonder was coming up next (sorry 9th). Actually, we don’t know what it was about, but after five solid years of fun we definitely won’t let a few bad apples spoil The Do-Over for everyone else.

In fact, the only way to make up for this is by doing it bigger and better this Sunday as we welcome another All-Star cast including an exclusive LA appearance by a special someone from the other side of the pond who has been on our Most Wanted List since day one. Only three left this season so join us Sunday for a Do-Over!
