Ace Cafe<\/em> was once again the place to be last night for yet another amazing event! A sibling of the famous Ace Cafe<\/em> in London, the Orlando branch has become the home to so many great DJ concert events.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There was two stages of music with the inside stage beginning at 2PM. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Si-Dog (USA) was the opener doing a Breaks set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
To the opener comes the spoils…..of a nearly empty room. Doesn’t matter. Si-Dog put out old school classics like Snap’s (D) “Rhythm Is a Dancer” and new school hits like a Breaks version of Tiesto’s (NL) “Business”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The outside stage was on the famous Ace Cafe<\/em> lawn and was not scheduled to go live until 6PM. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sound check in progress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was a good thing the outside had a later starting time because a steady drizzle fell throughout the afternoon. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
VIP area awaiting the masses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
All taking place under the Orlando skyline.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up next inside was DJ Tooltime (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the dance floor remained empty at this early hour, the DJ Tooltime Fan Club was on stage filming his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Rain continued to fall outside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The 5PM hour arrived and DJ Shade Baez (USA) took over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A few people appeared inside but most arrivals were outside on the covered patio where a bar was in operation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A few brave dancers on the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing him play!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The entry queue in operation. The line would get long as the afternoon moved into evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jimi The Genius (USA) up next at 6PM and part of the Miami-based contingent playing last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Breaks inside, of course!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
6PM also meant the opening of the outside stage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Dose (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Outside, the stage was devoted to House music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We last saw Dose play at the Shipwrecked Music Festival<\/em> over in Tampa back in April. LINK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The fore-mentioned outdoor patio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another one of the great South Florida DJ’s playing last night!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rain finally began to taper a bit after 7PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For DJ Lola B (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set began with what I would call Chill but the pace quickened into regular House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And with the rain slacking, a few dancers began to migrate outside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
More and more!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Best of Breaks Promotions<\/em> was in the house! Spacemen Live (USA) have been added to their event on August 7th here at Ace Cafe<\/em> and advance tickets can be purchased here<\/a>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day turned into night for…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A powerful House set from DJ Fiin (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing this Miami-based DJ play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those outside stayed well-back from the stage though….for now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back inside to catch some of DJ Exzakt (USA) set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was impressive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back outside, for one of the headliners.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DJ Lee Foss (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Mixing both vocal and non-vocal House….and maybe a bit of Techno in there?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A bit blurry but it will give you the idea that things were really beginning to get busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Over the past few years we’ve seen the Los Angeles-based DJ play locally at Elixir, Gilt<\/em> and Celine<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The outside vibe really beginning to build.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final indoor set ran from 10PM to 11PM with DJ Monk (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He had the dance floor bouncing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monk was once a part of the original Rabbit In The Moon group. Once his set concluded, everyone needed to go outside for the big event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the catwalk, Bunny from duo Rabbit In The Moon (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With his eye-blinking staff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He would go through numerous costume changes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Bunny is just half of RITM. The other half is DJ David Christophere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And he pumped out the music during the 90-minute set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bouncing ball. There were actually no surprises during the set; pretty much all that I remember from the RITM concert at House of Blues<\/em><\/a> in Lake Buena Vista back in 2017. But it never ceases to amaze!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lots of freeze action!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bunny in a bubble, being rolled-out down the catwalk and then out into the crowd to be bounced around! The performance is pretty amazing and from chatting with people, it was about 50\/50 as to whether they had seen RITM previously.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
