Sunday, March 30 – 1 a.m.
Made a quick stop at B.E.D. on the way home to check out Stanton Warriors, the breakbeat tandem of Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley from the U.K. They are a DJ and producer team who take electronic music and apply it to all kinds of music. (They remixed Feel Good Inc., by the Gorillaz, among others.) But what they do best is make you want to dance to their mixes, providing infectious beats with a twist.
If you weren’t dancing at B.E.D., then you were in the wrong place. (And there were some last night who appeared a tad surprised that it wasn’t the normal hip-hop music – and they weren’t dancing.) Those who were dancing (and it didn’t look like your typical “ballers” Saturday night crowd) were treated to a great set. The dance floor (and the beds for that matter) was packed with people getting into the music.
Alas, it was time to head home, but the party was still going strong as we walked out an hour later.
