Dancing on the Charles Part III this Saturday, 7.25.09- DJ Harvey!
Thursday, July 23, 2009 at 8:39AM 
DOTC's third installment this Saturday- you know the drill. Scenic city view, booze, great music, unmatchable atmosphere/vibe. Added to the mix for this installment is legendary UK disco house DJ Harvey who is touching down in New England for the first time (in his 20+ year career!) Harvey's early days involved drumming in a punk band as well as running in a hip hop/graffiti crew, not adding DJ-ing to his versatile background until later on when he began hosting his own house and disco residency in the UK and becoming well known for his sets that would stretch on for 6+ hours at times! Holding the distinction of being the first British DJ to play the Ministry of Sound, Harvey continues to expand his knowledge of house/disco to this day and has a song selection capability that is unmatched. Although he is far more known as a DJ than a producer, he continues to release some production as well as remix/re-edit work on labels such as Nuphonic and King Biscuit. You're going to be in for a treat.
The video below couldn't be better proof of how the song DJ plays supersedes the medium: the dude is mixing on a reel-to-reel deck! Bad sound quality on the video but cool to watch regardless. Below that is one of his tracks from '98 on Black Cock- these releases used to be very highly sought after, but it looks like they have recently been repressed, allowing a newer generation of DJ's to get in on the action.
Dancing on the Charles Part II this Saturday, 7.4.09

Not only does this event require no introduction, but for this installment it also happens to fall on a holiday! That means you get a bonus: they're running the event for 12 HOURS. Can you imagine how many beers you can drink in 12 hours, or how many quality house tunes you can hear in 12 hours? The possibilities are endless! And there's a nice balance of DJ's on the lineup, including Miztah Lex of EC Army fame, who makes his return to Boston from the flashing lights of LA for the first time! We also have Bruno, founder of the legendary Utopia nights, and your favorite residents on the wheels.
Remember to try to get there early, and also know that part of your cover price goes to the proceeds of the American Legion, as well as providing funding for an effort to help clean up the coast along the Charles River. So you're supporting good causes in addition to supporting the local scene!
Summer is here, and so is Dancing on the Charles!

This has been official for a few weeks now but completely forgot to post it up on here until now. Soul Clap and Marz Entertainment will be hosting the very popular Dancing on The Charles series again this year! As many know, this has been an extremely successful series of events, especially for one that is only in it's third year. There were several events last year that hit full capacity at 11pm and I can guarantee the turnout will be just as large this year so make sure you get there early. Lineups are not announced yet but expect at least one headliner, and you can count on the Soul Clap kids to be bringing out their record and cd collections of deep house, minimal, soul, funk, and everything in between to perfectly compliment the diverse crowd as well as the beautiful view of the city skyline from across the river. Respect to these guys for the hard work they put into making these events happen. I will be posting lineups on here as they are released, and will certainly be at most of these shooting pics.
A couple Dancing on the Charles videos from last summer
Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 12:45AM It's officially April now; winter's over, the days are getting longer and all the snow melted a few weeks ago (thank god). Summer is just around the corner and that should hopefully mean another series of Dancing on the Charles parties hosted by the Soul Clap crew! These were some of my favorite parties from last summer, and these videos I've had tucked away on my myspace account are testament to it! Hopefully I didn't just jinx the weather forecast for April with this teaser, if I did, I apologize.
