THE BOOM BAP Feat. SKEME RICHARDS | 06.22.2013 (Video)

Last month, I was asked by the fine folks over at The Boom Bap to come out and shoot a recap video for the event...I gladly obliged.

For those of you not in the know...The Boom Bap is a Hip-Hop dance party held at The 5 Spot in East Nashville the fourth Saturday of every month. I have been attending these events for quite some time now and can honestly say it is the most hype party in town celebrating Hip-Hop music/culture and showcasing skillful turntablism. The resident DJs (DJ Rate, Case Bloom and Bowls) spin a wide variety of mostly pre-2000 classic hip-hop records that always whip the crowd in a frenzy. Furthermore, they frequently bring in guest DJs from out of town to rip up the decks as well. For this edition, we got to witness Skeme Richards bring the heat, he straight killed it...such an epic night as always!! I'd say it is pretty much impossible to walk into any Boom Bap party and NOT have a great time...these guys always come correct!

I thank them for the opportunity to document this killer party and hope to do it again sometime soon!

KEEP ON MOVIN! - Atlanta - 1 Year Anniversary Party Recap | 05.25.2013 (Video)

Last month, I had the pleasure of taking a road trip the the great city of Atlanta to film the KEEP ON MOVIN! 1 Year Anniversary Party at The Basement.

For those of you not in the know; KEEP ON MOVIN! is a weekly dance party presented by Electric Western Records that occurs every Monday at the 5 Spot in East Nashville and also the last Saturday of every month at The Basement in Atlanta, hosted by DJs Jacob Jones and Reno Bo. This one in particular marking the one year anniversary of the Atlanta edition of this event.

These guys really know how to throw down a killer party, they truly have it down to a science and know exactly what musical goodness to serve up at any given time to whip the people into a frenzy. The crowd was great and danced their asses off into the early morning hours to a wide array of excellent funk and soul standards. I would definitely say that this event was a huge success, but don't just take my word for it, check out the recap below and see for yourself, good times!!

Hustle III Recap | 03.08.2013 (Video)

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 6 months, then you've probably caught wind of the HUSTLE parties that have been goin down every couple months at Cannery Ballroom.

Nashville's most dedicated DJs came together once again to bring us third installment of the HUSTLE event; not much I can say about it, just watch the vid and see the craziness for yourself! One of my favorite additions to the production this time around was the stripper pole and light boxes for the dancers! I stand by my previous assertions that this is probably the one of the best parties in Nashville, this crew always goes above and beyond to ensure a kick ass evening for all in attendance!

HUSTLE TAKE 2 - The Official Do615 Launch Party Recap (Video)

Photo by Kelly Hite

On December 7, 2012, the minds behind Electric Western, The Boom Bap, Y2K, Whiskey Disco, Recognize, and KEEP ON MOVIN! once again pulled off the biggest dance party in Nashville, but this time even BIGGER!! Teaming up with Do615 (a new website showcasing events around the Ville) for their official launch party, the crew rocked the Cannery Ballroom crowd late into the night!

I have to say, after filming the first HUSTLE party back in October, it was obvious that they stepped their game up on this one...lighting and sound production (provided by LMG) were on point and the crowd was even more amazing! Big ups to everyone involved in this incredible event and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to film it again!

Check out the recap vid below and a whole gallery of pics from the night compliments of Heather Byrd, John Jackson and Kelly Hite!

Your's truly...
