Detroit imports 3 Chairs destroyed Smartbar on saturday. Got there I
guess after midnight and Theo Parrish was playing when i got there
really pounding disco and jack-y raw classic chicago trax and heavy
percussive disco and as usual EQ boosting and killing every track to
within an inch of it's life. This can sound silly when you hear his
mixes at home, but on a packed sweaty dancefloor people were going
ballistic for it, and I was lapping it up. At times looked like he
was having a seizure behind the decks and the energy was emanating
outwards... the floor was full early.
Then Moodymann took his turn sporting a freaky halloween mask, his
afro all blowed out huge, and it was a Rick James (R.I.P.) love fest..
he started with 'You and I' and played it start to finish, then later
'Cold Blooded' (god i love that percussion on a big system) and lots
of cool disco, also Moscow Discow, rolling stones 'Miss You' (!), the
3-Chairs 'Theme' (also featured on their new 3xLP which is great,
BTW)... prince - controversy (w/ everyone singing the "people call me
rude, i wish we all were nude" part, hah), anyway if you like dirty
disco and detroit house and occasional italo and dusty dance oddities,
these guys deliver. Though I usually have no idea what these guys are
playing, KDJ seemed to stick to some of the more recognizable cuts but
this was fine with the crowd to be sure. The crowd was whooping big,
etc. when new tracks where dropped and it was fun to have that kind of
a basement house party atmosphere, oozing sweat and spilled drinks
everywhere, haa. Unfortunately i had to leave before Rick Wilhite
and Malik Pittman got on the decks. I have heard sometimes these guy
just play slower dusties and downtempo soul/funk stuff all night, but
on saturday it was all about he energetic dance cuts and that was
great to see.
