Remedy
A few months ago, Remedy moved from DNA Lounge to Ruby Skye. I haven’t had a chance to check it out at the new venue, so I thought I’d close out 2005 with a three-day party weekend that includes Remedy.
A tropical winter storm has slammed into the Bay Area and dumped six inches of rain on us, so US 101 was treacherous this evening. I got to the venue, found the parking garage nearby full, and headed to another one about six blocks away. It was raining as I walked to the club, but it was unusually warm.
Joey Webb was spinning when I arrived. The sparse crowd hung back from the smallish dancefloor. David Harness followed him, playing the most mind-blowing set of Latin-flavored house music that I’ve heard in a long time. His mixing was flawless and his track selection fresh and energetic. Wow. With a full dancefloor, Paolo Dava erupted with a magnificent mix of house music that churned the dancers to a frenzy. It was a great time.
I’m not sure how often I’ll return to the parties at Ruby Skye. The dancefloor is fairly small, the only bottled water they sell is $5, and the sound system is incredibly loud. If you go, take ear plugs, because I didn’t. Still, the crowd was pretty, although a little more touristy than the ones at Mighty. I had a great time.
