Since last summer’s nightclub reopenings, Ace Cafe<\/em> has played a large part in the reemergence of the dance scene. So we were back again last night for the Halloween-themed 90’s Zombie Raver Invasion<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were two areas of music. We begin inside in the “Torque Arena<\/em>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DJ Bboy Roy (USA) delivering DrumNBass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For this show the main stage was outside on the Ace Cafe<\/em> lawn, operating under the “Vizion 1 Arena”<\/em> brand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here DJ Shade (USA) was playing when we first arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was doing a mostly Breaks set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Shortly thereafter DJ Security (USA) took over the controls. We know him so well from his shows as part of famed DJ duo Rob E & Security (USA). PHOTO LINK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was still early; just a few dancers on the lawn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
More Breaks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted visiting DJ Security in the booth: DJ Matrix (USA). Stay tuned for the return of his NLP <\/em>brand after the first of the year!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside, Mr. Torque himself: DJ Circle K (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Hard to get a good picture of this guy as he moves FAST to his own high-BPM DnB beats!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor activity inside was picking up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course you can’t have a proper Circle K show without MC Collaborator (USA) providing some narrative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Come closer people!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The energy this guy puts out is incomparable!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Event Promoter Luis Evans (USA) bouncing in the booth!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Made up of Moonbeam Jones and Sunshine Jones, their history goes back to the early 90’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And they would take turns on the live vocals!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One of the most unique acts I’ve encountered.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And it was my first time ever seeing them perform!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back in the Torque Arena<\/em> for DJ Monk (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He has a history that dates back to the old Rabbit In The Moon (USA) days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And he was gathering a crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
DJ David Christophere (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We had a lively discussion backstage about what genre one would call their 90-minute set. It had elements of House at times but it kind of predated House music so the best we could label it was “Electronica”. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside, DJ AK1200 (USA) closing out the night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another legend of the DnB scene!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
1AM and no one was leaving!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He opened with a kind of Breaks version of “Thriller” and I think I heard the “Ghostbusters” theme in there as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
