This Brit’s got pop

Friday, March 28 – 11:30 p.m.

At the Setai for a special set by Mark Ronson. Who is he? One of the top music producers (has won 3 Grammys) and DJs on the other side of the pond (England, for the non-hip), he helped Amy Winehoue become a household name, producing her hit Rehab.

We were supposed to interview him, but the ever elusive Ronson sneaked past the request and hit the booth, where he let the music do the talking. His set was simply fun and amazing – remixing current and classic hits (Coldplay, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake) with beats that featured a horn section. His mixes were meaty, with depth in the music you heard – not just scratching and mixing. And he had the courtyard at the Setai hopping, with women dancing on the edge of the waterpools.

The vibe was great, but we had to leave. One more show to check out this night.
