\"\"
In the annals of Orlando dance music history, there were places like The Edge, JJ Whispers<\/em>, AAHZ <\/em>at The Beacham Theater<\/em>, Cyberzone <\/em>and just two hundred meters from here, Mannequins<\/em> on Pleasure Island<\/em>. But on Sunday nights in Orlando, absolutely no one could compete with Service Industry Night (SIN) right here at House of Blues<\/em>. We returned to Downtown Disney<\/em> (now Disney Springs<\/em>) last night for the Labor Day Bash<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Twas’ the night before Labor Day and all through the House (of Blues<\/em>), hardly a creature was stirring, not even the Mouse<\/em>. (Get it? Disney World, Disney Springs<\/em>, Mouse<\/em>, never mind.) Doors opened at 7PM and the early arrivals got some of the choice spots at the barrier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The opener was DJ Si-Dog (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The theme of the evening was Breaks, just like much of the music here back in the day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And Si-Dog delivered!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s always great to see the gorgeous Mariah too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Now based in Connecticut, Si-Dog was previously based in Florida and played at so many Orlando events!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The floor was slowly gaining activity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Si-Dog goes back-to-back with DJ Sweet Charlie (USA) at Electric Daily Carnival – Orlando<\/em> in November!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Still a bit spartan at 8PM but stay tuned!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Time for DJ Jimmy Joslin (USA). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
See what we mean…..it didn’t take long and the dance floor was suddenly jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
During many of the years that SIN <\/em>was an Orlando institution, Jimmy Joslin was one of the resident DJ’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
JJ pictured here delivering the Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With Magic Mike dropping by the booth to make sure everything was plugged-in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The amazing Dance Singer Dana Duran (USA) would provide some live vocals for us!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Taking us back to the old skool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another former resident DJ at HOB SIN<\/em>, The One and Only DJ Sandy (USA) at 9PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lots of Classic Dance in there which of course were Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Over the years we’ve seen him play at so many shows!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Only 9:30PM and the dance floor was next to impassable! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everybody in a great mood!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We like to say “packed to the rafters” and even at this relatively early hour, the Loge area upstairs was already getting jammed too but there was still space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ’s! We saw lots of DJ’s at the club!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another one of the resident DJ’s at HOB Service Industry Night, especially on holiday weekends!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
