Independence Day Eve and the place to be was The Beacham for the 3rd rendition of "These Are The Breaks". |
Early in the program, DJ Dave Cannalte (USA) was the opener. |
The dance floor a bit spartan at this early hour. |
But as people streamed in, the floor's population would quickly build. |
There was some early-rolling going on! |
The lasers were already at work! |
Cannalte turning the reigns over to the instigator of this event, DJ Kimball Collins (USA) who would do a short set. |
Shortly before 10PM, back-to-back sets from DJ's Lee Coombs (GB) and John Debo (USA). |
As the dance floor continued to build. |
On this night dedicated to mostly Old Skool Breaks. |
Spotted with camera: Club Photographer Brian Miller. |
Good to see so many friends out last night! |
John Debo relocated to Boston a few years ago so this was his first Orlando set in some time. |
He was part of such local ventures as Sound Bar and Washington HiFi. |
Really starting to fill-in out there! |
We last saw Lee Coombs play last summer at Remix. |
There's no school like the Old Skool. |
You could cut the euphoria in the room with a knife! |
And while there were a lot of old-timers in the crowd, I saw a lot of young faces too and that's important for the entire Breaks scene. |
Spotted on stage: SarahK and Mia |
Everybody having fun! |
Around 11PM, the floor went within minutes from this..... |
.....to this! It was now packed! |
And also at 11PM, DJ Scratch-D (USA) from the original Dynamix II took over. |
The lasers were flying! |
I've seen Scratch-D several times now at these AAHZ events and last night was his best ever! I kept saying "Wow" to anyone who would listen, lol. |
Everybody was waiting for last night's biggest headliner..... |
DJ Icey (USA) |
Packed to the rafters! |
Packed to the corners! |
So many of the late 90's and early 00's songs we now call Classic Dance were actually Breaks! |
Icey's set had the dance floor literally vibrating with hits like "The One"! |
The Beacham's shiny disco balls were spinning! |
Spotted back stage: Leah & Mia |
DJ Icey tours all over the country and all over Florida but it's a rare special treat when he plays his home town of Orlando! |
Annual obligatory photo of SarahK & SarahV. |
Dominic of Stanton Warriors (GB) closing out the night. |
2AM and no one was leaving! |
Have you heard Stanton Warriors new song "Up2U"? |
What a night with great sets from everyone! Can't wait to see what Kimball has in store for us on Thanksgiving Eve at AAHZ. Last night, a good time was had by all. |
