Event number two of three in this Spring’s “Breaks Conundrum<\/a>” took place last night at Ace Cafe<\/em> and Orlando Entertainment News <\/em>was there for the pics!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Running from 4PM until around 2:30AM this morning, we found an opening set from DJ Grey Wolf (USA) in the main room!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The main room operated last night as the “Best of Breaks B.O.B. Arena”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We often see no one here for opening sets yet there was a surprising number of people already here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course the music was Breaks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The second area of music was outside on the famous Ace Cafe<\/em> patio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Last night it was titled the “Kozmoz Patio”. It was here we got to see the opening set from DJ Frequie-G (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But not a lot of activity on the dance floor just yet. But that would change!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Ace Cafe<\/em> lawn was not in use last night; we’ve seen some amazing shows out there these past couple years! The view of the downtown Orlando skyline from here is pretty amazing too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Not sure why Americans call their WC “restrooms” as there typically is not a lot of resting going on there. But this being UK-based Ace Cafe<\/em>, they refer to them as “The Loo”. This was also the way back to the third room of music!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Known last night as the Theoryon Records<\/em> room, we caught DJ Jeff Justice (USA) tuning up the machines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Followed by the opening set from DJ Rayrex (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing Rayrex play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located in a back room near “The Loo”, just a few people on hand at this early hour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back at the main stage now…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emily (center) from Louisiana was in the house!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back outside for DJ Nelly Fre$h (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arguably the most “interesting” set of the day, he ranged from the expected Breaks into House, Trap, Dubstep and Heavy Bass. It was good!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The outside crowd would slowly build.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back indoors to the main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ One-Way (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set was being filmed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As the 6PM crowd slowly built inside as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The air conditioning made this a popular place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We saw lots of peeps both known as well as new acquaintances! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
