Review: Dissident / AVA Recordings Party @ White Room 3/27
On Thursday night my friend and I attended the Dissident / AVA Recordings party at The White Room.
This event was a little surprising because all the acts were back to back, meaning they DJed in groups. A pleasant surprise mind you, something different!
The order of the night was...
Matt Cerf & Shawn Mitiska
Kenneth Thomas & Noel Sanger
Gareth Emery & Andy Moor
We arrived right at 10pm when it started and were pretty much the only people there. The club was pretty cool, small but decent. There were 3 rooms, the outside was the best though. They had a projector on the building playing The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... WTF that was about was beyond me, lol.
Shawn and Matt showed up within the hour. I met Matt Cerf for the first time, Shawn I have known for years. Met some other cool peeps too. Soon enough Shawn and Matt went on for there set, the attendence was minimal but there were still some people, I coulda cared less since I was ready to dance and enjoy myself regardless, but I was bummed for all the DJ's and the event itself since the proceeds went to charity. Anyway...
Shawn and Matt threw it DOWN as usual. Heard some Squash 84, Kosmas Epsilon, Vantem, Jay Lumar, Michael Cassette. Was a good set, I didn't want it to end! Then KT and Noel came on. KT was bringing the heat, Noel had some iffy transitions but he threw it down too, they put on a good show as well and luckily at that point a little more people showed up, but still the attendence was very very weak. Last but not least Gareth and Andy came on and tranced it up. Gareth owned the decks with the tracks he was laying down, Andy not so much. Was a good time. We left a little early though... well it was late up early into the GE and AM set.
Overall... I had a great time. Got to dance my ass off, get financially raped at the bar with $8 drinks, hang out with Shawn and my friend, and see some DJ's I've been interested in seeing live (KT and GE). Was a good time, just was bummed about the turn out, thought it woulda brought in aa decent amount of people.
