So I arrived back from the Bay Area California with a hard drive full of music from friends (all of them Burners) who don't care about labels but play all over the West Coast cuz they rock it and nothing makes them happier. I have friends here who know about them and never get to here it unless I burn a CD and they rock out in their car. Well, we have to do something about this, don't we!
Some friends and I are on a mission to transform the environments in which people are likely to dance in this city. Don't wanna pay $20 to be one of 18 people in a cavernous club with a sticky dancefloor from the night before? Wanna shake it on the dancefloor one minute and be able to talk with friends in the lounge the next? We've identified O Zen (formerly Buddha Lounge on the south side of eight mile between greenfield and lahser) as a perfect spot for this experience. It is nicely decorated and lit, small, intimate, has great staff and ownership and, consequently, great drink prices! Thursday nights are called the Great Groove Revival and it features some dance music you don't often here in the D. Please don't mistake this for obscure, esoteric quirk funk (ok, maybe a touch:). No, I'm referring to some great Drum and Bass as well as the other end of the spectrum (tempo wise anyway) with DubStep and Dirty California Breakbeats (not to mention great downtempo openers and a very eclectic track spectrum). It's all music that'll make you wanna grunt when you shake it. It's been fun for a month now and would love to see some new faces. It's $3 at the door and my girlfriend has '50% off your whole tab' discount cards (no lie). It starts at 9:30 or 10 and we're pretty done by 1:30 though a small group usually sticks around and closes the place (we even clean up after ourselves!). Come introduce yourself - it's an awesome crowd of people and we'd love to meet you! www.ozenlounge.com
