The Do-Over

Whew. We did it! Somehow we survived another six months of getting done-over and what a past six months it has been. Season Four of The Do-Over was indeed a special one. One quick look at our mystery guests from this year and it could easily be mistaken for a lineup at Coachella (and for free!?!). It’s hard to believe we’ve been so fortunate to have such an amazing cast of artists/dj’s bless us at The Do-Over, but that is a testament to you, our loyal attendees and supporters so for that, we thank you. The Do-Over will always be a party for the people and by the people. Special thanks goes out to Peanut Butter Wolf, J.Rocc, Rhettmatic, Dam-Funk, C-Minus, House Shoes, Induce, Mixmaster Noah and Jedi for getting down at our annual Boo-Over Extravaganza. What a way to end an amazing year. Costumes were plentiful, spirits were high, and good times were had by all. On that note, it’s been real, it’s been fun, and shit, it’s been real fun, but it’s time for Aloe/Chris/Jamie to catch up on some much needed sleep. So we will see you six months from now, unless you suffer from withdrawals and would like to get done-over at one of our special one-off editions. Stay tuned for details.

“This may be the happiest, hoppiest dance party in town, and though it’s done till next summer, at least there’s Do dudes Chris Haycock, Aloe Blacc and Jamie Strong’s annual post-Thanksgiving one-off, The Left Over, to look forward to on Nov. 28. After what we saw Sunday, only a jive turkey would miss it.”

(Recap of Sunday July 27, 2008)

Theo Parrish

This past Sunday was one for the history books as we are still recovering from the Detroit Invasion of Theo Parrish & DJ Dez (Andres, Slum Village) as we celebrated House Shoes 33 1/3 Bday. This wasn’t just a legendary day for the Do-Over, but for LA. C’mon, Theo Parrish in LA, let alone at The Do-Over!? Those aftershocks were not from the earthquake, but from Theo’s presence. It was a heavy day indeed as 33 1/3 LPs were regulated to the decks to keep on par with the theme of the day. Two of our favorite and most versatile local selectors, Ian & Jun, heated things up on the dancefloor with an assortment of boogie, disco, & house making the way for the ‘Bday’ bwoy himself House Shoes as The Detroit Crew took over for the remainder of the day. Who knows what is in the water in The D, but Shoes, DJ Dez, & Theo Parrish put on a clinic for everyone. In true Detroit fashion, they took it deep & dirty.

Now it’s that time of the year where we are blessed with Peanut Butter Wolf’s presence on his annual tour of his favorite spots in LA. Last year, he kicked things off on his 777 Tour at LA with an amazing set, but this time around, he is going to take things up a notch with an all audio/visual set of house music videos. You might be asking yourself, where in the world are they gonna show videos at The Do-Over??? In true Do-Over form, some things are better left a mystery for you to experience, but trust us, you won’t want to miss out… Same goes for the additional guests on the bill! EARLY ARRIVAL is highly recommended for Sunday. Get in to fit in.
