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.

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.”
