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.
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.
Ahh… the second week usually begins defining the season after the madness that is the first week. The veterans of The Do-Over have learned to wait a week to get Done-Over as they know how balls out the kick-off can be (as well as such a pain in the ass getting in). In our sixth season we’ve found this to be the truth once again. Things ease up, people pace themselves and the dance floor seems to build steadily all the way until closing time.
This past Sunday we felt we were officially back in a big way. Haycock and Strong brought things up in usual fashion followed by a diverse dance set by Azul who touched on all points of the globe. Al Jackson followed in his usual smooth attitude pushing the frenzy even further. Old school kingpin Stretch Armstrong followed with a quick mixed set going from Jamaica to the golden years of hip hop quickly and seamlessly. Finally, our man Induce from Miami hit the funk and boogie levels as the crowd stumbled and made out into the dark hours.
This week is a 3 day weekend. No work or school Monday. Oh boy!

Good times as always at our Sunday soiree in. Wiseacre started us off with a nice blend of now and then and a little bit of rare here and there. Benny Ben put the “D” in Do-Over with a high speed up-tempo set not unlike what our Detroit patrons say they would hear back home. The Beat Junkies came through for DJ Babu’s birthday and instituted the first Do-Over “Take Over” with party rocking sets by J.Rocc, Rhettmatic, and debut sets by Curse and Babu. John Arnold followed in suit by keeping the party hyped with some more hip hop and a bit of his hometown Detroit sound. Before it was time to go, Induce took us home with some funk, freestyle and disco.
If you know what The Do-Over is about, then you know you don’t wanna miss out. We are riding out this 2009 season with a STACKED lineup, each week.
