The Do-Over

Win or Lose We Booze. That was definitely the motto this past Sunday as we turned the Lakers L from loss into liquor.  Thankfully we had acclaimed producer Recloose all the way live from New Zealand (via Detroit) to pick up our moods and kick off our Sunday shoes after the game as he blessed us with 2 hours of disco, boogie & house.  Prior to that, long time Do-Over favorites Jayceeoh & House Shoes got things so lively during the game that one almost forgot there was a game and could have easily mistaken the NBA for Nonstop Bangers Alert.  To set the entire day off right and help create the perfect vibe, we called in the disco dons Ron & Dan aka The Cosmic Kids to bless us with their feel good cosmic grooves.

Apologies for those who have been waiting patiently for the DJ Sets from this Season, but our resident audio archivist Aloe Blacc also moonlights as a pop star and unfortunately has been quite busy conquering the world.  If you don’t believe us, check out Aloe’s live performance on France’s biggest TV Show (Eminem performed last week & P Diddy performed this week): http://canalstreet.canalplus.fr/musique/live-du-grand-journal/aloe-blacc-en-live-dans-le-grand-journal-i-need-a-dollar.  With that being said, Aloe and the sets will be available soon.

This Sunday will be a very special one as we welcome an All-Star Cast of out of town guests making the trek (some literally) via SF, NYC & Philly.  Plus, the Lakers Game will be broadcast on 2 TV’s (indoor + outdoor).  Where else can you party outside, listen & dance to good music, enjoy drinks & good times with your friends, all the while rooting on your favorite team?

What has been a long time in the making, finally came to fruition this past Sunday as we gave you a preview of things to come from The Do-Over Crew which includes a series of limited music and art from Do-Over guests. The first volume features two of our favorite producers (and guests over the years) Flying Lotus and House Shoes with artwork courtesy of the amazing Steven Harrington. To celebrate the occasion, Fly Lo, Shoes and Steven got down and dirty dropping serious heat alongside Balearic Mike and DJ Craze who absolutely destroyed it. It’s not a true celebration unless Hit+Run is in the house so the homies came down for our annual Tee-Over creating custom Do-Over concoctions for you to wear. What better way to end the evening with House Shoes playing the theme song to Cheers…

“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.”

And that in essence is The Do-Over my friends.

With only five Do-Over’s remaining in 2009 (Nov 1st:  Boo-Over), we suggest you get while the gettin is good. We are closing out strong so you never know what mystery guests will await you from here on out.

This past Sunday captured the true essence of The Do-Over with a diverse cast of all-stars rocking the house:  Adam 12, Dam-Funk, The Gaslamp Killer, Ohmega Watts, DJ Dez aka Andres of Slum Village & House Shoes. June Gloom-Over couldn’t even keep the masses away from getting done-over as it was packed from sun up to sun down and another crazy Do-Over.  Somehow, these next few weeks we have even more craziness lined up for you so you won’t want to miss the surprises in-store.  The Lake Show will also be on the tube.
