(Fort Lauderdale)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
\"\"
OEN <\/em>typically just covers the Orlando DJ scene but with Orlando connections to last night’s “Breaks Yo!” concert in Fort Lauderdale Beach, there was no way to stay home!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
McSorley’s<\/em> has a ground level bar\/restaurant and direct stairs up to this second level lounge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And in one corner, literally a small DJ booth where we found DJ Dagger (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up another flight of stairs brings you to the open-air rooftop where a small group had already gathered.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
To listen to a set from DJ Bboy Roy (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course “Breaks Yo!” means Breaks and even remixes he played of songs like “Send Me an Angel” and “Changes” were Breakbeats! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Yes, glow sticks still exist!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The veteran DJ Robotic (USA) was up next!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As the dance floor started to populate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set last night had a very Industrial Breaks sound to them. We had sadly missed him in Sanford last month when he played at Oasis on the River<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Downstairs we found DJ Sum1 (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tag teaming with his main squeeze DJ Lady T (USA) playing what she called Chill Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar here stayed busy but most people headed up to the rooftop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There we found DJ DB Cooper (USA). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Glow sticks and now glow balls!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
People were dancing in all the corners!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Breaks are big in South Florida just as they are in Central Florida!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We had last seen DB Cooper play in 2018 in Miami (LINK<\/a>). One of my favorites he played last night was a Breaks version of the song recorded by more different artists than any other, “The Whiffenpoof Song<\/a>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I’m pretty sure federal law requires nightclubs to have a shiny disco ball<\/a>. McSorley’s<\/em> complies! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Drink refill time downstairs so a visit to the booth where we found DJ David Raven (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Yes, Breaks here too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
9PM soon arrived and there he was…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Icey (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The rooftop was now crowded but also socially distanced with close to 100% mask compliance!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had everyone bouncing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This was Icey’s first show since covid19 hit earlier in the year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“That Booty Peculates”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: Chris B, DJ Emeritus (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We’re hoping to see DJ Icey playing back in Orlando soon! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just like old times last night!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted post-set: DJ Icey with illDJ Chris B and Blog<\/em>-favorite CJ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Power Trio: DJ Icey flanked by DJ Andrez (USA) & DJ Keith Mackenzie (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted near the booth: DJ Master Feathers (USA), DJ Sum1, DJ Lady T and DJ Robotic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted dancing: Socialite Pop’d Culture (USVI)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next up, the instigator of “Breaks Yo”, DJ Bebe (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No one was leaving just yet!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Breaks versions of “Crush on You” and “Come Together” had the booties peculating!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the dance floor stayed jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Happy Birthday Bebe!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back on the 2nd Floor, DJ Rob Analyze (USA) had taken control.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing him since early in 2017 when we saw him in Orlando at Peek Downtown<\/em>. (LINK<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This level was now really busy too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Andrez (USA) took over at 11PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had the crowd dancing here too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While upstairs, DJ Bebe turning over the controls to…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Keith Mackenzie (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That look you get from great Breaks!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
K-MAC is based in Chicago. He tells us that other than a private show he recently did in Michigan, this too was a first gig for him since covid hit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
