DEEP IN THE JUNGLE REVIEW
DEEP IN THE JUNGLE : REVIEW
The night started off like any other, crew was there early, m1d1 on the case working with mr nelson steele, d boh x, jazz wheeler, tae, erik and some others helping to make the event look good. Sound arrived about 8pm lights were fully assembled at 730 and music started at 915. DJ Oracle was the 1st dj to touch down in the booth, oracle played his signature sound of dark, melotic techno jungle and was a good vibe as the ravers started to arrive. The second dj to hit the decks was M1D1 and he just took the room up one more notch playing exclusives and some of the bigger dance tunes out getting the energy levels high in order for DJ Stunna to come out of left field with a set full of dark rollers, this normally smooth operator turned the room out with dubs galore and vibes through the roof, hands were in the air. The old school Cleveland veteran dj Rob Riddum touched bass with some jump up and heavy dance floor tunes just in time for dubstep don Phaded to step in and smash them down. Konkrete Jungle Minneapolis crew stepped in the booth and the killer combo known as Easyrider and MC Brace gave the ravers a proper dose of the konkrete vibe of Minnesota. Chicago OJ and #1 dnb export Danny the wildchild played his signature set of all killers and no fillers along with a little of the flare he is known to do, I played after danny every one looked to have fun, i played some drum step at 1st then went on to kill it with the heavy dance floor tactics. J santana closed it off playing drum n bass from every style and ended the event with class, We were about full at 11pm and maxed out around 12 midnight, few hundred through the door, we didnt make any money, in fact we lost a nice chunk but the vibe was worth it so were calling it a donation to the bass gods. December 17 is our next undergrounds. PLanet bass. Tell a friend about us.
