This is it. After four and a half amazing years we've decided to close up shop and move on to other endeavors. To anyone and everyone who's come through to support the night I can't thank you enough - you've been a part of something extremely special that I know I'll always hold near and dear to my heart.
From our inaugural party with Kenny Dope, Cut Chemist rocking sh*t with half of LA in the building, Sharon Jones killing it live, Ian Wright's incredible stateside debut, Frank O's afrobeat excursions, Jason Perlmutter's all-Carolina blow-outs, Brad Hales and the People's Records fundraiser, Muro doubling up mini-flexi discs of "I'm Your Puppet," the grand return of Soul Kitchen's Frankie Inglese, Dante always saving Pure Essence for last, Shadow's surprise guest set, Ricky Calloway and his cape, the Skull Snaps in person, Honeydrippin' with Miss Nydia, RESIDENTS' DAY, Burgan beating the blizzard, Spinna, Egon, Gabe and Neal, Jeff and Leon, Gino and Fryer, Big Daddy George, Music Man Miles, Nitekrawler, Big Tony Janda, Nick Cope, Agent 45, Mr. Lewis, the Scorpios, Aaron Anderson, Andy Noble, Tormo, Iñigo, and on and on... what more can I say? It's been one hell of a run.
And to think it all started as a conversation over mac n' cheese in our OG music director Alec D's place in Chinatown way back when...
Anyways, enough with the reminiscing. Tonight our guest is one of our biggest supporters these past few years, none other than DJ Young Chris of Big City Records and The Lost & Found Tuesdays at Savalas, BK. If you've heard "The Time Was Right" or any of his other terrific beat ballad mixes you know how he does. I can't think of a better guest to help us wrap this thing up.
For those curious, I'll be keeping my Grand Groove nights and sliding them over to twice monthly in Bumpshop's absence. As you can see from the flyer the ride is a wreck. Time to find a new way to get around.
