This past April I flew down to Washington D.C. for what I hope would be an epic weekend.
Here is my review of the Phonic Excursion.
We walked downstairs into a room filled with sound and lights.
Immediately I recognized the guy who ran the place, Robert.
He was standing behind the CDJs spinning some tunes.
His name was Justin.
We got there around 10:30 which was quite early as the show would go until 3AM.
I hoped I would last until the last track.
I introduced myself to Justin, and his reaction was “finally you’re here”.
I had to agree with him.
I then walked up Robert and introduced myself.
He said he thought he recognized and was glad I was there.
Next came a character I was not as familiar with.
On the new music site Plug.dj (turntable croaked last December) he goes by the name of Shogee.
When he showed me his license I didn’t even make a run at pronounce his real name.
Along with him was a guy named Kevin, or Afturmath on Plug.
Most of these guys live outside of DC and had commuted in for the show.
Next I met another fellow I had been in conctact with for years.
His name was Danny.
The music got louder and soon everyone in the club was under the spell of the Argentinian Chris Schweizer.
Each tune recognized my energy increased, as well as the amount I drank.
I remember dancing around and throwing down.
The crowd was not hostile like many of the ones I have been to here in Boston.
As the night wore on the members of WeHaveRobotEars gathered around for a picture.
Sadly Danny was in the bathroom, but it’s incredible of how many of us there were.
The spirit of dancing and having a good time was contagious at Phonic.
After all the dancing and drinking I did I was coming to my limit around 2AM.
