I try to go to every Keistar Productions event that comes around because they are like family reunions with people that I have partied with for over the last twenty five years. Since the Latin Quarters days. Since the Union Square/Underground days. Since the days of the Garage and Studio 54 days. Since the Lovelite/Bassline days. Since the days of the World and Choices. Back when Payday and 100K bar were popping. Back when Mars was in the meatpacking district. Soul Kitchen taught me to Save The motherfucking Robots.
NYC can be a bit whitewashed now, and that is due to the loss of energy and the lifestyle that all of those places I just mentioned brought to the table. Nothing ever remains the same. The people that watched and adored ‘Sex and the City’, ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Friends’ have taken over NYC (read: Cornhuskers = cornballs). So you have to get your paper way up to play in NYC nowadays. $13 for a Belvedere and tonic?!? Nahh mayne, I ain’t going out like that. I’ll be bringing my own bottle inside of the club. There still are places and events that the last of the true New Yorker can attend to reminisce with others who have grown up here and still live here in order to show the new residents and the tourists what cool really smells like.
You’d be smart and really cool to fucks with anything that has DJ Spinna’s name attached to it. Simple and plain. You’ve heard about the STEVIE WONDER tribute party that is so fucking dope that STEVIE even attends just to hang out and vibe at. In two weeks Spinna will helm the PRINCE vs. MICHAEL JACKSON tribute at Crash Mansion. If you like to dance then you won’t miss this event. But for this weekend, and for free…
