The Prince and Michael Experience heads east this weekend to the Boston area. Join us this Saturday night at Showcase Live at Patriot Place in Foxborough, MA. With DJ Dave Paul (Bomb Hip-Hop / San Francisco) on the turntables and free style dancers Maria-Stefania Merlaklis & Lorean Oviedo on the stage. Click here for more info.
by Dave Paul – Some producers can’t think past 4. Four bars, four measures, four samples… boring. Once an act or artist refer to themselves as a brand, I tune you out. With a statement like that you’re not in it for music, you’re in it strictly for money. Checked my spam box again – apparently I’ve won so much money now that I’m a kazillionaire. Can’t believe that people are trippin on U2 not paying taxes – the rich never pay taxes. A bunch of babies crying about Netflix, if you don’t like it then don’t subscribe or cancel your subscription – didn’t think so. People like to talk sh*t online but in the end that’s all they’re doing. They’ll all be watching a netflix movie tonight – lol. Thanx Google, now I have to deal with circles. The only circles I wanna mess with is records. Planking is so last month, now it’s all about flanking.
7/30 at Showcase Live in Foxboro, MA. More info here.
by Dave Paul – When requesting a song at one of our parties please remember this: You are only allowed to request songs by Prince and associated artists and Michael and the Jackson family. No covers and please do not request anything else, you’ll just be wasting your time and ours. If you just want to hear Purple Rain and Billie Jean all night long, you’re in the wrong place. Don’t worry, we will play the hits, but we will also play remixes, un-released tracks, b-sides and album cuts too. We only play a song once in a night, there are just too many song from Prince and Michael Jackson and we only have so much time to present their vast catalogs throughout the night. We can’t please everyone, in fact, we’re not even going to try. Pleasing everyone is impossible, it wastes the time of the true fans and annoys us. Forgive us for focusing on those we’re trying to delight. We hope that you have fun and our parties and enjoy the experience.
by Jeff Harris – “Paid In Full”, the debut album by Eric B. & Rakim is released. The album will be considered a watershed moment in the history of Hip Hop with lyricist/rapper Rakim introducing a new style of rhyming, laid back but intense, setting a new benchmark. “Paid” will spin off five hit singles and will peak at #8 on the Billboard R&B album chart and #58 on the Top 200.
by Jeff Harris – “Control” by Janet Jackson hits #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for 2 weeks. It is Jackson’s breakthrough release, and will spin off five top five singles each reaching a different chart position within the pop top five. Five of the albums’ six singles will reach #1 on the R&B singles chart. To date, “Control” has sold over 6 million copies in the US.
by Dave Paul – The Bay Area has some of the best Prince and Michael Jackson fans, and Saturday night was proof of that. Nothing but love and respect from everyone in the house for both artists. Hell, I was almost tempted to play We Are The World. Nothing says fun like a soul train line as soon as you enter the club. Click here to see photos from the event.
We have two 80s parties this month and if you’re in San Francisco we hope to see you at one or both of them. 7/15 “That 80s Show” at Madrone Art Bar and 7/23 “Barracuda vs That 80s Show” at 111 Minna Gallery.
