The Do-Over

First things first… when the very mega special guest drops a tweet about playing The Do-Over before we open, it’s likely people will take notice and things will get out of hand. This was obviously the case this past Sunday so apologies to all who were stuck outside.

Moving on, it was a hot day in the backyard. Haycock “fired it up” with some freaky beats handing the wheel off to his brother from the same mother, Waldo. After 2 hours of finely crafted yacht and 80′s moods, the place was packed and buzzin. Curtis Vodka paid us a visit with some deeper nuggets which is always very welcome. Finally, after years of correspondence and missed opportunities, we were proud to have DJ Jazzy Jeff step to it. Joined by Skillz on the mic, he really crafted a nice set fitting the mood of The Do-Over perfectly. A tough act to follow, but who better to follow than DJ Revolution, who closed it out with a tremendous ride through hip hop classics.

As you may have heard, The Do Crew is on the road for the next couple of weeks BUT we will be at Cranes every Sunday with some Do-Over approved and certified fill ins. Sure we will be totally homesick and missing our LA people while cruising Puerto Rico for a week but don’t worry… things will be extra heavy at Cranes for the next two Sundays. You’ve been advised!

(Recap of Sunday June 22, 2008)

Skillz and DJ AM

Summertime and the living is easy… Well, at least that’s the case at Do-Over! Glenn Fry would have been quite proud this past Sunday because the heat was definitely on. In fact, it was an all around scorcher and one for the Do-Over history books! Longtime member of the Do-Over familia Mixmaster Noah got things grooving on the early tip. Mr. Chocolate City Garth Trinidad got busy on the disco & Brazilian tip setting it up for one of the deepest crates around, Danny Halloway who busted out the rare dub/reggae jams alongside legendary percussionist Leon Mobley (Ben Harper) and the lovely songstress Noelle Scaggs. As the heat began to fade with the sunset, the sweat begin to increase as Stones Throw head honcho Peanut Butter Wolf took us on a journey through his rare archives. The evening was capped off by a legendary 2-hour set from DJ AM complete with a cameo by (Mad) Skillz on the mic. This was no hipster affair though as DJ AM threw down a classic hip-hop party rocking set and showed why he is one of the most skilled DJ’s in the game. Wow. What a memorable day it was for all and one of the most hyped crowds we have seen in the last four years.

Who will be there this Sunday? There’s more mysteries than an episode of Matlock, but we guarantee another all-star cast that you won’t want to miss! Get in to fit in.
