Frankie Knuckles grants Miami’s wishes

This past weekend many heads hit up The Vagabond where the Back Door Bamby crew brought us Frankie Knuckles. I arrived at around 1am and the crowd was feelin Frankie. Frankie played till 6 am granting the crowds encore wishes several times. Also this night celebrating his birthday was heartbeat of the Vagabond “Carmel” blowing out his candles right from the dj booth alongside Frankie. Putting the icing on the cake the “Maestro” Frankie Knuckles closed by playing a gorgeous remix of Chris Issak’s – Wicked I think it could have been the Quentin Harris one but still not confirmed if it was. He played this track twice and it was the perfect one to close with. Frankie Knuckles served it up. He also played his remix of Depeche Mode’s -”Wrong” pleasing many.

Enjoy the pictures from that memorable night below.

Dance it up!!!!!

If your in Miami this weekend I have two suggestions for Friday April 24th & Saturday April 25th.

FRIDAY, you might want to come on through to UVA69- 6900 Biscayne Blvd to celebrate an Afro Bionic Birthday with Djinji Brown. I remember the first time i heard him play was at at a spot called Amendment XXI. The music he was pulling out of his bag was perfect to get that afro house groove going. I’ve heard him play other times around Miami and he can put it down Yoruba style.

You will also have Stell*R, Ivan Diaz, & Aaron Feld bringing the beats for your feet. Come sing along “Happy Birthday” to the son of sound Dijinji Brown this Friday the 24th.
—————————————————————————————————–
Saturday, Vagabond & Back Door Bamby  is bringing to us “the godfather of house” FRANKIE KNUCKLES. The guy has 30 years in the industry but you can’t talk about house music or attempt to speak about it’s history without bringing Frankie Knuckles up. His club playing at the “Warehouse” had everything to do with the term you know as “house music”. I’m not missing this…You should get your tix asap GOOD LUCK

I just hope the door ain’t a mess although the lovely door guy is a doll when I’ve gone for Louie. I’ll spare my moaning about door issues…just good vibes and positive energy.

LET’S DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you checked out UHMag lately?

Have you danced your mouse on over to UHMag yet? It’s an online underground house magazine hence the name.
Recently in Feb of this year I took another trip to NYC and this time while I was up there I made it a point to check up on my NYC house heads. Greg Cuoco from Aquabooty was throwing a party along with Dorian and they were partying it up with no other than Tony Humphries. After the music stopped I couldn’t help it but talk a few minutes with Tony and thank him. You can read up on the interview Tony granted me so I could bring it to the readers of UHMAG.com

Shades of Redd gives you Soul Syndrome

So I got a little side tracked and left you hanging for a few..don’t fret I’m back and have a few updates for you.
In January of 2009  I got invited to attend an event called Soul Syndrome. This event was hosted by Shades of Redd a group of dancers from Florida moving & pushing forward the house music culture.
At this event we experienced the 1st competition to introduce the Soulful House dance category.

The crowd was hyped and fresh. We were graced with the djing skillz of St*ller & Marco Castro. The judges came from out of state for this…from California to New York. You can check up on the sick moves these dancers pulled off and maybe you’ll come and check them out next time.

The following linked image will take you to the Soul Syndrome pictures….
