The Do-Over

credit: azul 213*

It’s difficult to explain in words the levels of epic that we experienced this past Sunday at The Do-Over. Perhaps it was the smiling faces, the sweaty bodies or the sheer excitement preceeding the mystery guests (whom only Haycock, Strong and Blacc knew before opening time). Regardless, we can easily say that the energy that all experienced this day goes into the record books as the most anticipated Do-Over in our 5 years of existence, while the anticipation proved itself ultimately worthy to the challenge.

Following the usual warm-ups from Strong and Haycock, our favorite substitute host Azul stepped in and brought the levels up after too long of a hiatus from our backyard boogiedown. Next up, local hero and Do-Over fave Rareform, kept it going uphill as the place officially reached sardines. The first jaw dropping moment of the day was when our man Rich Medina stepped in the place and dropped his record bag behind the decks. His set did nothing short of amaze the people. As the bodies were locked in perma-groove following Little Ricky, we decided to redesign the Do-Over thermometer as it got even hotter. Originally we we agreed that we could state before, during or after the next guest, but something fell thru and things changed (good thing for everyone). Getting on with it, A-Trak smashed it out of the park like we knew he would, and even went on to say “Do Over was suuuuper fun, best party in LA”. Finally, lets not fail to mention one of our newest favorite DJ’s, DJ mOma from NYC doing it perfect on the late shift. Nobody wanted to leave, even though the bartender should have cut them all off around 6pm.

What’s it going to be this week? Only we know and if you arrive early, you will find out…

What’cha Wanna Do? Do-Over!

It was a big day this past Sunday as Haycock celebrated The Bills 4-0 start, the crowd celebrated another festive Do-Over. Festivities were plentiful as hometown hero Blu Jemz dropped his final Do-Over set before heading back to the right coast. It was the first time we’ve had Blu Jemz rock an early set and it just might be our favorite set from him as he showed his range by dropping beats that taste like chicken (and waffles). The Rub’s Cosmo Baker was up next and took the party to new dimensions. That just might be the most hyped crowd we have witnessed during a Do-Over set?! Regardless, Cosmo Baker did his damn thing so if you are ever in NYC, be sure to check out The Rub getdown. Rare Form was given the difficult task of following, but came correct with the soulful sounds that The Bridges/DP Sound crew is known for. Libra’s finest Lisa J dropped a quick bday set rocking the classics (apologies for the mixup Lisa, it has been a long season!) and just when we thought the night was winding down, Nate Day had the place jumpin, hootin and hollerin as the crowd kept on partying craving for more. Well, not to worry…. The best part about Do-Over, you can do it all over. However, time is running out for 2008. Whatcha’ Wanna Do?

The Final 4: The Do-Over will be filled with some serious love this Sunday as we welcome special mystery guests from The City of Love, City of Brotherly Love and birthplace to The Summer of Love. Two of our mystery guests will be making their Do-Over debut and we get to cross off another name from our wish list. This is not to be missed and early arrival is highly recommended!!!
