Bashment Review: DJ Lava Ranks 'Bright Color/Spring Bling Affair'

The cold Spring air gave through to a sea of colors at DJ Lava Ranks “Spring Bling/Bright Colors Affair” last Saturday, April 19th at Dailey’s Blue Mountain Inn. It was all about yellow, hot pinks, orange and neon green at this bash as the best and the brightest (okay, I couldn’t help it) came out to welcome the season.

Chat ‘Bout entered made the usual fashionably late entrance as the bash was in full swing until about 4am. DJ Lava Ranks kept the vibes nice with a mix of a new dubplates mixed with dancehall tunes from Deseca, Beenie Man and of course, Mavado.


Not to be outdone, special guest, DJ Jelli – was on hand to supply the hip hop set as she held her own alongside the fellas. Soon after, New Horizon’s Big Belly Mon Monk took control with his ‘Independent Women’ set that kept all the gals in the place marching out tune after tune.

Also in the crowd, feeling the vibes were Makka B – doing his thing on the dance floor, Star Temple Ricky Hype, Flavor Unit, Maggie Untouchable and Crew -in full bright attire down to the belts, shoes and handbags, 88.7 DJ Chubbie, Ms. Trini and Crew, (still whining) KC Platinum and long time no see dancehall veteran, Onnie.

It was great to see the masses come out and support Lava in all the bright colors. Looking over the crowd after the bash, one was able to get a true feel for the Bright Colors theme. Once again, 2008 is all about the theme dances as Cleveland dancehall scene can look forward to The Untouchable Crew’s 10th Annual Army Fatigue dance, followed by Super Dee and Ricky Hype’s “All-White Affair” Memorial Day Weekend.

As Spring arrives and Summer approaches, the dance hall vibes are heating up in Cleveland…. Stay tunes as Chat ‘Bout Cleveland will try to keep up to bring you all the latest reviews, photos and who’s who on the scene….
