May 10th : A tale of two dances…..

Whew! With so many things happening on the Cleveland dancehall scene these days, we wanted to take a breather to bring you an event happening a little up the road in a place called Detroit. Word on the street is the vibes are hot in D-Trios these days, so it is definitely worth taking the trip! Who knows you may want to take a break from our scene to check out some new people, dances, etc. So here we go…

On Saturday, May 10th, it’s all about the (eh hem) ‘Pum Pum Audition’ featuring our friends, Fudgie Springer from Vybz Machine and #1 dancer, Dutty Vybz from Pittsburgh (see April 13th post). Other Sounds for the event include Roots One and ‘The Mad One’ Jukie Black. From what I can tell, this will be a night of pure madness as this night features dancers KarKell from Minnesota, Detroit’s own, The Nocturnal Crew, The Hype Squad from Chicago and Selebrity (all that is missing is our girl Destiny!). And to top it all off? Fudgie releases his new single called, uh, uh, ----well, it’s on the flyer! (To hear the tune for yourself go to www.myspace.com/fudgiespringer.) It all goes down at The Victory One Social Club, located at 15775 James Couzens Freeway.

Yeah, I know, I know, gas has peaked $3.60 a gallon, but is that all it takes to stop you from taking a trip up North?

Okay, then I have another option for you…

Many a dancehall music lover looked out their window one early March 8th morning wondering, “Is the dance cancelled?” Yep. Well, not really. There were a few TRUE dancehall-alolics in the house that night, but not nearly what Metro Media is used to. So, for all of us who didn’t have 4wheel drive, it’s the return of Metro Media. Thankfully, the weather will be MUCH nicer weather than that little (18 inches) snow shower.

Come rain, sleet or snow (hopefully not). On Saturday, May 10th, it’s all about Metro Media and Big Belly Sky Juice. This event also features Cleveland sounds Sample Jack with Lava and Slaughter and New Horizon.

The sounds have had a chance to get a few new tunes, the vibes have been right on the scene these days and most importantly, Big Belly Mon Monk has had a chance to come up with some new dance moves for his bout with Big Belly Sky Juice, so this is an event – YOU CAN’T MISS!

Whether you stick around Cleveland or take a trip to Detroit, have a great time and see you back in Cleveland for Memorial Day Weekend!
