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> Dance Palace<\/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>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And last night we returned to Downtown Disney<\/em> (now Disney Springs<\/em>) on a Sunday night for the 3rd annual Labor Day Bash<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The doors opened at 7PM and this is what the dance floor looked like a few minutes prior.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He’s been on the roster for all three Labor Day Bashes…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jimmy Joslin (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Most people coming in went straight to the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Five minutes after opening, it already looked like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just as you’d want from Jimmy Joslin, a mostly Old Skool set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back around the turn-of-the-century, so many Dance hits were Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor view at 7:15PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During his set, a good luck visit from Jimmy’s main squeeze, Krista. Thanks for the pose!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Jimmy did the only 2-hour set last night, taking us to 9PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Filling-in fast!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
OK, it was 9PM and the floor was already jammed. Now where are the later-arrivals supposed to stand!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kimball did not play at last year’s Labor Day Bash but he did play at the first one in 2022.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
At least at the beginning, Kimball’s set last night had kind of an AAHZ <\/em>vibe to it. You know, 90’s Progressive with a lot of piano.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He then joined in the Breaks theme of the night. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
