Maceo was pretty fucking dope yo! Heater after heater was being thrown on. I've been a fan for a while but I'd say, this show made me an even bigger fan. I love how he dances to his music. It's fun to watch.

Venue was cool. Basically a parking lot. It's the same spot that Sasha and Digweed played a year or so ago. The only difference is that it was facing the opposite direction where the art installation is located at.

Vibe was cool too. Most of the folks attending were (that I saw) were into the music. A couple of LA types who were focused on selfies and group pictures but that's to be expected.

Best part of the night was running into a lot of old school folks. A lot of old school TAers, Spundae, Avalon friends were all out. Probably one of the funnest parties I got to attend in a long time. For some of us, it's been years since we last saw each other, yet it felt like nothing changed.

Not from these parts but have been seeking to hear AP again because he's so good and noticed he's playing in your neck of the woods. Highly recommend.

I gotta check out more Maceo Plex...sounds like a good time. Glad you had a blast.

@OrangestO no kidding, just heard AP for the first time on a set on YouTube this week. Blown away, he's great. I'm keeping an eye out to see if he shows up in the NW sometime.

Got tickets for S&D in Dallas next month, going to make the trip. I'm so excited to go out again I dusted off my old CDJs, haven't touched em for 10 years. Old, but they work!

If you're going this weekend I'm stoked to hear about it. I'm hoping he comes back to Portland this year or next. He's been killing it lately...his Forja/Cordoba set sounded phenomenal based on YouTube highlights. Some incredible tracks in there, Argia, Elliot Moriarty, etc. Reminding me of that early 2000s Global Underground era. Hoping he brings some of that to Dallas next week.

Just made the last minute decision to attend. Or I should say the wife graciously accepted watching the kids tonight while I go out and get shit faced to good music

I heard Digweed was a bit ill during his SF show last night. I'm hoping he's recovered and can do his planned 5 hour set. I don't think I can hang that long though. Hoping to get past 2:30AM to be the Uber surcharges though.

Digweed was fun!!! I really enjoyed the "warehouse" experience. The team held the event at a sound studio near LAX airport and the event went till 5AM. Drinks were also being served till after 3AM which was AWESOME!

Musically, Digweed was awesome. Rumor has it though that he was pretty ill but one wouldn't have noticed. He played his traditional sound that kept you dancing all night. As with many Digweed parties, the best part was socializing with lots of friends who made the effort to get baby sitters to party that night. Really felt good to catch up with so many people.

I dont actually remember leaving. I just remember being in an uber with friends, needing to pee REALLY bad. I think I got home at 5AM. I was mostly drunk the entire night.

What will be great about seeing S&D in another city is that you won't know too many people and will get to dance more. That's something I regret not doing enough of. I wished I would have danced more. We don't get out often and letting off some steam on the dance floor feels amazing.
