But first: I think my happy lamp has passed the test that I set for it. It's become a breakfast time fixture here at the Devil Girl house.
On to the booty-shaking! Roy Davis Jr., one of the (many) artists listed in Daft Punk's song "Teachers", played the Monkey Loft last night. I checked him out ahead of time and he sounded promising, so off I went.
Worthy of note: the local support that I saw was two women, namely Shannon Johnson and Emily Song. Go us! Maybe someday women DJs won't be remarkable, but that day hasn't arrived.
And what of the man himself? I wish he'd taken the stage at midnight and not 0100, but he did deliver the groove in big mirror shades. Not for him the gospel feel of Derrick Carter; I wasn't the only one singing along to the remix of "Enjoy the Silence" that he slipped in. But otherwise yes, it was among the best of Chicago-style house.
Also worthy of note: the ordinarily chill area downstairs had a second DJ, since they weren't using the mighty Funktion One in the adjacent room. (Why not?) Good grief, I hadn't heard "Din Daa Daa" in decades and had to stick around for that.
