| UPDATED Fun times both inside and outside of The Groove at Universal CityWalk last night as they held their annual Labor Day Celebration. |
 |
| Outside on the "lily pad" stage, DJ ET (102JAMZ) kicked off the party at 9pm mixing Hip Hop hits with EDM hits. |
 |
| And the dance floor, located below the stage adjacent Galaxy Bar, began quickly building. |
 |
| Meanwhile inside the refreshingly cool club building, DJ Jay Mac (XL106.7, Blue Martini, 180 Grey Goose Lounge) was playing EDM too! |
 |
| It actually wasn't bad outside though; no rain and a hint of coolness from a light breeze. |
 |
| And as midnight approached, a sea of Baby Anne fans had taken their spots on the dance floor! |
 |
| Just in time for the Bassqueen's arrival escorted by Universal Security. |
 |
| DJ Baby Anne (USA) on the stage. First show in Orlando this year as far as I can recall. |
 |
| Wasn't sure what kind of show she would perform for a crowd at Uni but she stuck mainly with the Breakbeats and Florida Breaks that she's known for! |
 |
| Spotted: Sarah (The Rollins Girls). |
 |
| Spotted: ill DJ Chris B (Electric Daisy Carnival, Vixen Bar, Firestone Live). Baby Anne would go on to play his and DJ Fixx's remix of Sporty-O's "International Wingman"! |
 |
| Spotted: Ken The Robot (Pleasure Island). |
 |
Spotted: DJ ET (The Groove).   |
 |
| The floor and surrounding area stayed jammed to close to 2am! |
 |
| Inside The Groove DJ M-Squared (Loft55, Vain Nightclub) had a full house for Hip Hop. |
 |
| Baby Anne was also mixing in some late 90's/early 00's Classic Dance like LaRissa's Breaks hit "I Do Both Jay and Jane". |
 |
| Dancing in all the corners! |
 |
| And a good time was had by all! DJMadManRay also posted this video to YouTube. Really shows the quality lighting set-up put together by Universal's lighting techs. Thanks, Ray! |

ReplyDeleteWill continue to support the Dance scene!
ReplyDeleteBob, I was told that will be last labor Day party at CW. They wanted to out with a bang. That was a very expensive setup for Baby Anne and they wanted people to remember the performance and staging.
ReplyDeleteMark, thanks for that report. You can definitely tell it was a quality effort with great equipment.
ReplyDeleteAny idea why they want to discontinue such popular event? In the past they just used a dozen or so local DJ's, surely at a much lower expense.
Doubt they'll kill it completely. At the very least, they'll scale it back to locals Djs. this is a locals only event anyway. the avg mom/dad/kids walking around in city walk wouldn't have a clue who Baby Anne is..
ReplyDeleteMark's sources are pretty solid but I don't understand why they'd discontinue it unless it was not a profitable night for them.
ReplyDeletethe peeps in charge of stuff over there make decisions at the last second so there's no way to say what'll happen a full year away. my money is that they go back to a scaled down event like previous years.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem premature to predict what they're going to do next year. The Labor Day event has been a tradition for years out there.
ReplyDeleteGood Times...
