My friend, DJ Adnan, hit me with the info about a big underground party at the funky Gingerbread Warehouse. It’s been a while since I went to an underground shindig. Once again, after an extended disco nap, I headed up to the city, found a parking space a moderate distance away, and jumped down into the party at about 12:15.
Dhyan started out with a set that didn’t grab me and a couple of train wrecks on some mixes induced me to go upstairs and check out DJ Garth. He was working it with an eclectic mix of old school house, techno, and some downtempo breaks. The crowd was sparse and it was cool, until some retard started puffing cigarettes in front of the big fan.
East Coast Boogiemen got on all four turntables at 2 and began ripping the place apart with an absolutely blistering house set—tech house stuff mainly—that got the crowd fired up. After a couple of ours, Adnan came on and started the noise with some gronkiness and Brazilian tinged house.
The only down parts for me tonight were the almost total lack of lights on any of the dancefloors, the weird ticketing system for beverage purchase, and all the smokers puffing away in front of the fans. At least I didn’t end up stinking like I did at the unventilated basement parties at Capp Street. Whew!
