What a GREAT time we had in South Dakota!!

Mad Props to all those that went, You know the dilly,yo! And to those that missed it, sorry, You missed one of the best parties VIBE-WISE that I have been too in YEARS!!

After the 303 Collective (David, Kevin, and J/K/G-Love) met up with the others who were going up (Hillary,David S.,Joey's Bros., Joey's G-friend Jen,Danny Q,Nate (ishi) Jonathan(Who actually is my LWB-Label Whore Brudda and Danny Q's promoter....Thanks for the tape btw guys!)

We all hit the road and started mad fun at our first "rest stop" 2.2 miles from our starting point.....Carl Jr's !!! Where we proceeded to load up on some calories for our rather quick trek to the Northland! Of course getting crazy looks from the customers when the the 303 "bratpack" is in the place!!

Then after hitting the road again we proceeded to make good time up I-25 through Cheyenne, and everyone getting a kick out of my disco break Disco Dancer yelps of "WOO HOO!!" (Anybody wanna rent out Larimer County Fairgrounds for a party? its the site of the Cheyenne Frontier Days!) We then proceeded to check out all the wonderful cattle fences and tumbleweeds that "rolled" in front of our path (I think the last count was 10 or so,right Kevin?) we stopped in a town called Torrington(WY) where we graced the Conoco station and local Hardee's with their first sightings of the LWB(Jonathan and I) Phat Pants,Plastic Chains, and flip flops (Sorry Dave!#%)) all in one "Continuously Mixed" package!!!! As we were standing on the corner checking out the local muscle cars and Farmer Joe types, a school bus of High Schoolers "rolled" (No, not literally!) by and shouted a resounding "Howdy!" and that's when we knew it was time to go!
So, after we hit the road again we drove another hour or so and came upon a sleep and drug deprived clerk at a combo casino-gas station that was graced by a clever sign that said ................

ON THE RUN!!!!! de de dede dedelete dede dede de de !!!!!!!

hehehe....J-luv,Dave S.,Kevin,and Nate (Ishi) know what I'm talking about!! *smile*

Needless to say we were all quite easily amused at this point! so while we were all amazed at the fact that throughout the rain-soaked drive there we *2* perfect rainbows that graced our arrival into the Rapid City valley so we then dubbed the party its second name "Rainbow City" !!!

So, to quicken the story we arrived around 8pm into rain-SOAKED Rainbow City to find out we were lost! So as we all collaborated over our wet maps we discovered we were going the wrong way so we all made a U-turn and found the site which was in a 4H Building. So we all unloaded and came face to face with a bunch of square dancers at our site!!! Do-Se-Do and away we go!!!!! =then after calming down thinking we had been displaced by a bunch of two-steppers we proceeded to the other side and found the door that said NO MARKERS,DRUGS,ALCOHOL,BAD VIBES,ETC. and we knew we were there! So as the Collective unloaded the records and stuff, we walked into a rather nice little space that didn't know what was about to be dropped on them !!

PART 2 - The Awakening!

As we all chilled on the beanbags and chairs provided backstage by Zoop Productions (You guys *insert Monster truck voice here* Fokkin' RAWK!!!) Tilz was the first one up to wreck shop on the early arrivals! putting together a nice blend of acid,trance,and minimal (oh no, there's THAT word again, MINIMAL!!! BOOM BOOM THERE IT IS, OVER THERE!!) techno that grooved us CO kids while J/K/G-Luv got his wax together for the first wave attack by the 303, G!!

J-LUV
^^^^^
As I placed my prized Slice and Dice Ortofon "DJ KILLA" needles on the decks, I wanted to say that its ALWAYS a nice set from the recently relocated DC Transplant.....DC's Loss is Colorado's Gain....Thank You John Tab!! (Ask J-luv who this is if ya don't know!!!) So as J-luv weaves in and out of a superbly executed mix of all the Twisted rockin' tracks, I CAN TELL THAT HE WANTS TO PITCH-BEND ALL of the latest Underground Construction Ghetto house tracks +8 and to 45 RPM's!!!! (J-Luv is a closet Junglist, you see...) I send him the vibes through telepathy NOT to follow his savvy intuition with the gentler,kinder RC crowd.....Luckily, we were spared that creative segue into his crafty HARDCORE urges!!!! hehehehe!!!! anyway, J-luv started the vibe off right and exact for the night!!! So I rewarded him with 4 tasty snippets of vinyl from my diverse collection of wax!! *smile* Good Job JKG-Luv!!!

DMX

Hmmmm....Should I review myself or not? Hmmmmm.....I will pass that along to Nate(Ishi) Kevin(Slippy) Danny(Danny Q) Joey(J-Luv) and Hillary/Jonathan for this one. All I will say about my set is that I was pleased with it and decided to end it on the High point to let my future 303 Collective brudda Nate continue to elevate the VERY ENERGIZED RC CROWD at this point. Also, my idea was to open up some time for Danny Q to get on and flex some DEE-TROIY stylee........ So, I turn THIS review slot over to my peers cuz THAT'S where it counts
anyway! So, comments anybody? @%) and yes, ELMO WAS DEFINITELY IN DA HOUSE!! or was that in my PANTS??

ISHI
^^^^
An unbelievable Nate took over after the Yellow Panted Cand-E Boy stepped aside to let the party continue.....Nate played some very JUICY ELECTRO BREAKS (Your a TEASER,Nate....That's what Melinda said...ps Melinda was RC little energizer bunny, putting out more energy ALL NIGHT then the entire city of San Diego during Super Bowl week!!! Some say that I took her "Rave" virginity that night...I guess we'll always wonder....???!!) that made the crowd go CRAZY!! I think the crowd sucked up EVERYTHING that Ishi dished out to them !!! A superb set, definitely!! @%)

Trigga Happy Cyko-THC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ONE WORD- JUNGLE! A rinsed out set of Jump up flava from Omaha's psycho-child, THC !!! definitely somebody should bring this guy out here so everybody can enjoy the ragga-step flava wit' da' rollin(Literally, at this point@%P) basslines and waistlines!!! *303* Area code would definitely enjoy the O-town Masta Blasta!! and yes, the Beatles cut at the end was the perfect track to top off his PHAT set!!!! Bring da boy back in September,ZOOP!!!

SLIPPY
^^^^^^
"What more can I say? Top Billin'!" - Audio Two

Needless to say in the short amount of time that I have known Kevin I have watched this closet label whore and import record whore (I must have whores on my mind, I don't know why I'm thinking about my ex-girlfriend......DOH! @%) just EXPLODE on the scene with some of the best taste in domestic and import sub-labels ANYWHERE!! Kevin knows that since I'm on EVERY Rave/Hip-Hop/Turntablism List in the Country that this is a serious statement! Its time for the list to recognize the dope records that this boy has!!! Needless to say, I wasn't real worried that the crowd could be taken to a HIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHEER SSSSTTTTAAATTE OOOFFFFFFFFF COOOOOOOONNNNNNCCCIOSSSNNESSSSS !!! hehe! so, I made sure to take my closet Cand-E pants down to the dance floor cuz I knew what was comin'..........2 words......Simply PHAT ! I snapped so many pictures of Slippy my forefinger became bruised and swollen!!! hehehe! Just kiddin'!! Me and ELMO were jammin' like Smuckers to a nice blend of electro-techno-hardhouse that is gonna get Slippy booked like a library!!!! (OK, Enough of the analogies!) Slippy, oh Slippy....when will thou grace the mtn-raves list with thine ****PORN-BASS**** ??????? ps Dont tell nobody about my Gravity Wheel tape....I dont like 6AM timeslots! #;)
