Concert Report: Night Of Breaks (Bar B)

DJ Kraftykuts (GB) was to headline last night but had to cancel at the last minute. It didn't matter; Bar B was the place to be last night for a Night of Breaks!
Arrived unfashionably early and found DJ Losman (USA) and Phunky Phin (USA) playing out on the Bar B patio.
Little did I know that this would be the beginning of an amazing night of music!
Just a small crowd to begin with but it would grow way-beyond expectations!
Phin taking over!
Moving inside, found DJ Afrodisiax (USA) in the booth.
First time ever seeing this guy throwing down.
A small contingent of Vietnamese breaker chicks dominated the floor in here.
But others quickly joined-in too!
Back outside, DJ duo G$MONTANA & Neuroziz (USA).
First time that I can recall seeing them as well.
They had the peeps bouncing!
Big crowd on the patio!
Back inside, DJ Jason Rezurecht Zeigler of Rogue Planet (USA) had taken over.
Lots of Old Skool hits in his mix!
So many of the early 2000's dance hits were Breaks.
The music was bringing back the memories of WPYO 95.3Party.
I don't think anyone was really missing Kraftykuts not being here but there will be a makeup date in December.
Of course Breaks leads to breakdancing!
Next up, DJ Rob Si-Dog Silas (USA) in the booth!
Dance floor got packed at this point!
Electro-Breaks Mon A Q (USA) hit "Stay In Love" was a staple at Mannequins!
As was Agnelli & Nelson (GB) hit "Everyday".
Outside, DJ Tooltime (USA) took control.

Spotted in VIP: DJ Justin "JulOtym" Rossilini (USA) with DJ Heather Collins (USA). OMG, she shared some news with me which is Top Secret but so exciting!
Spotted taking a selfie: Amanda
Spotted taking a photo of his beer: Christian Christian
Spotted on the dance floor: DJ Andrez (USA) with Athena.
Spotted in VIP: Christina and Katey with DJ Matrix (USA), J-Dub (USA) & Berto (USA).
Spotted on the patio: Brian & DJ Kenny Matos (USA)
Spotted on the dance floor: Keith & Jessica
Back inside, famed DJ duo Rob E & Security (USA).
With DJ Rob E playing first!
The crowd would ebb and flow all night.
But you can't help but bounce when the Breaks are flowing!
DJ Security up next!
Amanda moving so fast, her hair was flying!
DJ Jimmy Joslin (USA) on the patio! He's the resident DJ here at Bar B nearly every Friday and he has the best shows!
Giving us an Eddie Money tribute song.
Dance until you get wet!
Tooltime getting ready to come back on again.
Since the resurrection of electronic dance music less than a decade ago, we know that House has gotten big. We know Trance is huge again. But what about Breaks?  There is certainly evidence, particularly in Orlando, that it too is coming back! Just this year we saw the prize-winning "Devotion" show (link), the Gemini Party (link) and the recent These Are The Breaks 3.0 (link) show. All were packed!
And just 2 weeks from tonight at Mai Thai, a Prophecy show ft. Shannon Denise (USA).
And on October 25th at Ace Cafe, FSOB presents a Halloween-themed 3rd edition of "Leaders of the True School" ft. Ãœberzone (USA). The rest of the lineup will be announced soon, I've seen it, and it's going to be another amazing night!
Meanwhile back at Bar B last night, a good time was had by all.
