Past Party Reviews

Updated 02/08/2001.
The authorities have managed to bully the scene into submission. Trip-Hop's last party although well attented, turn out to be a sea of heat in sheep's clothing. And with pending legal problems facing almost every person I know, Taggers, Breakers and the L.V.C., everything is still in suspended animation. Yes, what's left of Free Bass is still throwing shows at the "House of RULES", but that's the trip. 18 plus, along with their policy of have fun, "just don't have too much fun !"
One show I highly recomend is the long awaited return of Machine Screw ( trance/drum & bass/rock ), Feb. 25th @ Cafe Brasil. The cyber phenoms of the mid 90's perform for their first multi-media show since 1997. A free CD is included in the price of admission. Also on the bill will be the Hypertribal Crew and DJ Nimh, plus some personal friends from Samba Rio (dfw & d.groove) and Dallas' Primitive Echo.
Finally is my review of the "Player's Ball 2000", still posted for lack of other events, which may turn out to be the last great party ever held at the State Palace.
Peace, D.Groove

Review by D.Groove
This was D-Money's semi-annual big budget event for high rollers in the Adult Entertainment Biz, and with the IA2000 convention being in New Orleans this Sept., The Old State Palace got the call for the party. This whole thing was kind of a Rave for adults, really weird. Besides a few Free Bass types hanging with D-Money, helping throw the party, I think I was the only rep at this, what may turn out to be the Last Great Party 2 The State Palace. Everyone was dressed as a pimp or a 'HO, and the crowd was made up of players from all over the states, Japan and Europe. Most not knowing how to behave in these environs looked to me for their que. Too Short's DJ gave me a bag of glow stick to hand out and I went around showing these newbies how to dance with them as well. All was kind of amateurish at best, but everyone had a great time.
Ice Tee was a no-show, figures, but the rest of the talent did their best. The Bucsty DJ's from L.A. both opened and closed the party. DJ Leon started out with smooth house, mixed with wicked Jungle, very fine. I had to soend half his set explaining to straights from Balitmore the theories of Techno. He was followed by 2 Hip-Hop African DJ's who got everyone in the building in the mood to Party. As D-Money finished hab=nding out his "Pimp of Da Year" awards, Too Short strolled out to kick our ass. His ultra nasty, simple rap forced the Busty Amateur contest to occur during his set. He whipped his ryhmes about sex with ugly girls, models, etc. while grabbing his member inside his pants and shaking it at the audience. The stage was filled with over 40 amateur babes and black guys, dancing, grinding away, exposing themselves and doing all sorts of nasty things. Too Short was too much.
Slick Rick then took the stage and compared to Too Short was totally boring. It was late and this sent me to the exit with fond memories of not just this night, but every other fine party night we've enjoyed there. Frieds from the convention told me that the Busty DJ's rocked the place till 7 a.m. and that all loved the party, not to mention, loved our fair city.
