DUSTY CRATES

This weekend kicks off with a bit of a Ruff Cutt reunion at Boondocks. Fredster and Jeffe regularly “F” the Scene together but this Friday I’ll guest DJ along with them as “Gracie ChaFez.”

So come prepared to put it down on the flo. No requests. No filler. Just murdah! Now that’s bigger than DIRB!

And this Saturday night is our DIRB! Block Party at Block 21 (2420 Washington) with DJ Pooks in the Howard Hughes room. Pop champagne!

See y’all there.

We’ve been waiting for a perfect opportunity to get the DIRB! DJ posse together for something like this. We’re able to make it happen at Boondocks Bar. 

With no repeats of “the incident,” we do wanna Do It Real Big (DIRB! in case you thinkin’ we ain’t) on the decks and bring the mezzanine down!

P.S. Look for the DIRB! Backup Dancers on the flo! Thanks for the flyer, Gwen!

The Scion BEAT Tour blew through Houston a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve just had a chance to recap some of those nights. And here it goes…

On FRI, August 22, Witnes touched back down in Texas to jam with us for Shake & Pop at Boondocks. Ruff Cutt DJs G.Wizz and El Jeffe warmed up the night with mid-tempo electro, funk and disco edits. Folks were ready to dance when I stepped up to the plate. With El Roy Boogie on the mic, I kept the energy up and crowd dancing with everything from old club classics to new club bangers. I even had Daniel Allen (aka DJ DZ), who taught me how to DJ, at my side watching my every mix. Wit and Shane just killed it after that! There was absolutely no room in that place to dance until things cleared out 5 minutes too early.

A Shake & Pop reunion in NYC is in the works before the year’s out, indeed.

Corporate-sponsored partying ensued.

G.Wizz (aka My Babies’ Daddy)

El Jeffe’s best Ruff Cutt look. Ouch!

2008 Scion and Imeem.com present

B.E.A.T TOUR with Witnes & Squincy Jones,

Gracie Chavez and License 2 Trill

Friday, August 22th

Boondocks (1417 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX)

Doors: 10 p.m. – 2 a.m.; Admission: Free, 21+

Houston, TX (08/14/08)–That City of Syrup is in for a real treat as 2008 Scion and Imeem.com bring the B.E.A.T. Tour to Houston. Very special hometown DJ Witnes joins his counterpart, Squincy Jones, along with Gracie Chavez and locals License 2 Trill at Boondocks (1417 Westheimer) on Friday, August 22nd.

Last year, Houston’s scene-setters Witnes and Squincy Jones released Do Ya Homework, an online mixtape of difinitive ’80s hip hop cuts that earned them lots of positive press on Urb Magazine , trend-setting blogs and various social networks. The party-rockin’ DJs also held down Rock Box Thursdays for a few years with Spin Magazine nodding that the weekly was, “the best time you’ll have all month.” After Witnes’ departure to New York, Squincy’s SpeakerBoxx parties have carried on in the same tradition.

Former Rock Box resident DJ, Gracie Chavez, is a veteran of the Houston music scene and one of its first female DJs to grace the decks. From guiding fellow female DJs as co-fiounder of Les Femmes all-female rendezvous, to her 10,000 download triumph of her recent Yo! Mami mixtape, Gracie Chavez is just the perfect act with a pedigree heavy enough to handle the chaos of any party.

License 2 Trill are brothers and DJs Bobby and La-Low . They’ve been featured in Houston’s Sneaker Summit for which they released a mix, H-Town Winter Sneaker Summit ’08 Official Mixtape.

This B.E.A.T. Tour show is a precursor to the Klever, The Knux and Fashen soirée at Warehouse Live (813 St.Emanuel) on Tuesday, August 26, which also features Witnes, Squincy Jones and Dayta.
