Nice Hiphop / Downtempo Night Last Saturday


I met up with my good friends Dan and Matt Saturday at Harry’s Ballroom in the Cass Corridor. I go past that very corner every day on the way to work, but I’d never noticed the place. It’s located about midway between the Fox Theatre and Cass Tech.

The featured performers were :Brownstudy, a new hiphop project from Jason Hogans, who a few of you might recall from his excellent work on the Planet E label, and the Trüby Trio, who record for Compost. We had a great time. I’m really looking forward to :Brownstudy’s upcoming release — the music was really fantastic, forward looking stuff, really rhythmically inventive. Trüby Trio played a sort of 3-man tag team DJ set, lots of exploration in the intersection of NuJazz / broken beats / latin house. It really got the crowd moving. The crowd was also worth noting — it was a great ecelctic multi-culti blend reminiscent of an early 90’s Bankle Building crowd, before everything became 16-year-old suburban kids suckin’ on pacifiers.
