It's official: Jimmy2Times is Minneap's Best DJ!
As if you didn't know already, right? If you've ever seen him do his thing behind the decks, you didn't need City Pages to tell you. Congrats to Jimmy2Times! It is very well-deserved. Dude can rock a party better than anybody else.
He also has some sweet edits going on...

BOMP! is official
If there were any doubts whether the inaugural BOMP! Vol. 0.0 last month had a fluke debut, they were answered last night with another packed crowd. And what a crowd! It was a beautifully diverse group of Minneap party-rockers enjoying the music and the deejays.
Founders Wes Winship and Shannon Blowtorch hit the tables early on, followed up by heavy-hitter and Cryphy King, Jimmy 2 Times. The headliner of the night was a DJ that I was previously not familiar with: Dirty Finger. Dude hails from BK and holds it down on stages with the likes of Jazzy Jeff, Juiceboxxx, Ninjasonik, and Spank Rock. And he definitely held it down last night. It was great to get a New York native's take on the new dance scene. He brought some usual B'more jams (thank goodness, because I've invested a lot of vinyl into the genre). But he definitely had some nutso remixes of white-boy-party-rock, some seriously cheesy old-school melodies from the 'jock jam' era that actually worked, and my favorite was some unknown indie rock that caught the crowd a little off guard initially. They warmed right up to it, though.
I loved his mixing style. He doesn't quickly transition tracks within 8-bars by fading in and then fading out (the standard style). Instead, he brings in the next track as a certified layer to the current one and lets it ride for maybe a full verse. This definitely takes a great ear and understanding of the music. I've never seen or heard that style. Very cool.

"Do you have any plans for the weekend?"
Ugh. If you work in corporate America, you hear this every Friday and you dread the inevitable exchange. Hopefully if you're reading this blog you have many interests that you pursue and participate in over the weekend. You always have something sweet to look forward to. Sadly, most co-workers' things worth mentioning about their weekend are watching TV, a movie, or going out to dinner. I sure hope I never have such a lame answer. If you're worried that you may have such an answer, fear not! This is what you're doing...
You're getting buck with some of the best DJ's in Minnehappiness. The only rule... there are no rules. They'll be playing anything and everything so long as gets bodies moving, frothing, writhing, hooting, hollering, exposing, drinking, jumping, banging and flailing with a side of dancing. Unfortunately, co-founder Plain Ole Bill is repping Minneap hard along with P.O.S on the "Never Better" tour. Fear not because Jimmy 2 Times, Mike the 2600 King and Fundamentalist are all party scientists that know exactly how to turn oxygen, water molecules, weed smoke and spilt beer into a nucking futs atmosphere. Be there or live an unfulfilled life!
It might go a little something like...
with a splash of...
and a healthy dose of "FUCK YEAH!"s
