El Camino Turns 1
El Camino in Little Italy is having a 1 Year Anniversary party this friday. The new spot formerly known as the Airport Lounge has been packed all year with some of Disco's and Yacht rocks finest DJ's including Dirty Dave, Posso, Cosmic Kids and Hoff. Locals like Adam Salter, Colourvision, Kimbo and one of my personal favorites Ikah Love. If you have not had the pleasure of seeing Ikah on a saturday night do yourself a favor and do so. Mayor Hawthorne played a DJ set a few weeks ago and so did Maseo from De La Soul. Definitely one of my favorite spots to play a set. They have amazing food at low prices, great Sangria, friendly staff and a sunday brunch that can't be beat with $1 mimosas and DJ's spinning the sunday jamz. Mauricio, Alex and crew have outdone themselves and created a unique atmosphere that has people from all over town making el Camino a must visit at least once if not a few dozen times much like myself. They have Julius Papp from Montreal currently residing in S.F. this friday for the anniversary who has been in the game a long time. Expect classic house and disco all night long. Then saturday they celebrate again with Mr. Ikah Love playing every hot song from the past 3 decades that will have the dance floor going from the time he turns on the tables till they have to close the doors. Get there early and have dinner. Kitchen open till 11.

Drop The Lime - Hot As Hell
This guys amazes me more and more.......
Rockabilly and Dance Music. At first glance, not a likely pairing. And yet both have roots in the seedy club underbelly, and both were born of late night rebellion, youth culture and the rhythmic pounding of the bass.
And no-one can meld them quite like New York native Luca Venezia, aka Drop The Lime. Brought up on a staple diet of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Richie Valens, he learned to play guitar and sing from a young age, and like every kid, he wanted to be a rock star. Fast-forward a few years and a love affair with club music – specifically the UK-centric sounds of drum’n’bass, jungle and 2-step garage – began, solidified by a short move to Berlin and an immersion in house, techno and the never-ending warehouse parties the city is famed for.
With fellow DJ/producers Star Eyes, The Captain and AC Slater he started putting on his own Trouble & Bass club nights, renowned for being rowdy raves full of raw energy and heavy bass. But Luca never lost his love for the sounds he grew up with; as a DJ who nearly always mixes Rockabilly into his sets and describes his own sound as ‘Rockabilly gone bass-wild’, it was only right that he should bring it all together in his first UK release ‘Hot As Hell’, which sees him singing over an endless harmonica loop and one of the killer breakdowns he’s famous for. Listen in here…
