Party Reviews

Wow, wow, wow and wow!!!!

What a wonderful Open Tuesday we had again at HOME!! Short review here for you, trying hard to catch up!! But I love to give credit where credit is due, and we are so pleased with all of our Open Tuesday DJ's!! So very lucky to have such wonderful people at the parties, and so very lucky to have such fantastic music makers. Thank you all!

We started out the night with some really fresh sounds played by DJ Akira Seymour from Germany!!! I have never had the pleasure of hearing her music before and will definately be looking forward to hearing her again!! Thank you Akira!!

Next, from Italy was DJMaurice Hax! Fabulous set of house and soulful tunes!! Very deep and intense is how I would describe his sounds. A wonderful listening experience for us all!! If you see that DJMaurice is playing, I highly recommend that you try to make it to one of his sets!! I know I will be waiting for the next time!! Thank you Maurice!!

And next up was DJ Aznag Gazov from Portugal!! I was completely captivated by his music!! Very very very nice job indeed!!! I want to say that I was surprised at the variety of sounds he played. I hope I don't have it wrong but I would describe his set as somewhat of a trance set but with a bit of a twist to it, really really nice mix of sounds!! And again, this is someone that I will be waiting to have another listen to again. I loved it!! Thank you Aznag!!

Last but certainly NOT least we welcomed DJ Minimal Berliner from.... yes, you guessed it, Berlin Germany!!! I so enjoyed his classic minimal style!!! Fabulous mix of tunes from him!! Just the perfect blend of everything you can imagine that a true minimal set should be!! I am not positive, but I think it ended up being over a three hour set!! lol, we just didn't want to stop because he had us nice and relaxed and in a great mood, not wanting the night to end!! And again, I look forward to hearing his sweet sounds again very soon!! Thank you Minimal!!

It's really hard to do these reviews for the Open Tuesday party because there is sooooooooo much music packed into the time that is allotted. But, that's what Open Tuesday is all about, a night filled with such a vast array of sounds that completely engulfs us in a wonderful listening experience!!

What started out as an experiment for us has become a regular event and I encourage you to try to join us for great music, beautiful people, dancing, laughter, talking and sharing quality time together too!!

Thank you so much to the DJ's and thank you so much to the wonderful HOMEY's and friends who attended!!! You are all so very special to HOME and we are so happy to have you there!!

Well, due to a horribly busy and long hours at rl job for both myself and A8, I was behind on the bookings!!! So no party was planned for Saturday. Ouch!!!

Anders Bailey was in a fantastic mood Saturday morning/afternoon!!! Lucky us because he wanted to celebrate the sunshine by playing some tunes for us!!!

What wonderful music he made at HOME!!!!! He played a happy chill set and a longgggggg one at that!!! The joy in his heart was heard in the tunes he played for us!!

There was no way to keep a smile from my face as I listened, and everyone else felt the same.

Sometimes these impromptu sets are the best of all. No way to know what is coming or which way we are headed or going, just gotta flow with the sounds!!!

Soooooooooooo happy to have you all there to share this very special time.

Thank you everyone!! And thank you Anders for honoring the sunshine with us at HOME!!!


WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy!!

Well, I thought that we were finished for the day but noooooooooooooo!!!!

The day wore on and it got later and suddenly Anders Bailey dropped by HOME with a great idea!!! hehe!!

How about some old classic rock and some various assorted electronica, he asked?? Well...........of course by now I was ready to sit and just relax!!! Yessssssssssssss!!

He dug out his old dusty vinyls and he got started with his set!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh TUNE!!!!

I guess it is one of those times when you just had to be there to feel the magic. It was great!!!

And yes, I know it isn't what we "usually" hear at HOME!!! But guess what???? Expect the unexpected here at HOME, because "normal" is something we are not!!

But back to Anders Bailey!!!! He has a very large record collection and it covers sooooooooooooo many different types of music!!! All of them great!! And I love the way he has such versatility to his styles!!! Very impressive!!!

No matter what Anders chooses to play, when he adds his own special blend into the mix, then it is nothing short of perfect!!!

Thank you again everyone and thank you Anders for a wonderful Saturday at HOME!!!!

Oh guys!!! A8 (Altern8 McMillan, lol, I cannot get used to the short version = A8) really did it this time!! OMG, what a fantastic set!!! Absolutely amazing!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh, he flooded HOME with such great music!!! He called it a minimal techno set!! hehehe!! I bet he kills me for writing this!! Well, there was definately minimal in it, and definately a LOT of techno too, but it was so packed full of creativity that it defies definition really.

I haven't heard him play like this very often, it was not his acid style, hard style, jazzy style, chill or any of what you have learned to expect from him. It was more like "A-8 unplugged".

He hooked us all into his sounds, that's for certain!! From almost the very beginning of his set he grabbed ahold of us and did not let go, took us on such a sweet trip!!! Floated us away for awhile, and then BAM!! slammed us hard back down to earth, then whoooooooooooooooooosh floated us into suspension again!!

I sure hope he recorded it and will post it here. Come on guys!!! Beg him to do it!!!

A8 normally (LOL, is it really normal?) plays every Wednesday at HOME at 2 or 3 pm slt, so put it on your calendar!! And you can find him playing his music other clubs and events too!!

Thank you Altern8!!

What a wonderful wonderful party last night at HOME with the Monday's Hate you crew!!!!

They knocked our socks right off!!! Wow!!!

Not meaning to get too personal here, but I had such a horrible day at my rl job and so Monday really really did hate me for sure!!! BUT!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, my spirits were lifted as I listened to the wonderful tunes that were being played. I just hope that you all felt your cares slip away too as we partied!!

Before I go further, I just want to say that I am positive that HOME has the best of the best people in all of SL. This is about YOU ALL!!! Our club members and partygoers are so kind, warm and generous, and we really appreciate your support!!!

Seems we share so much with each other and I thank you all!! And remember that you are welcome anytime at your HOME even if there is no party. It's your hangout, your safe haven, your place to relax, have fun and yessssssssssssssss listen to the best music that can be found anywhere!!

Okay, back to the review, lol, trust me to get off track a bit!

Bibdui played first and got everyone's blood boiling with her great selection of a mixture of sounds!!! A bit of Electro, a tad of Disco, a smidgen of Pop and a splash of Funky Punk and to top it off nicely a dash of this and that!!! Wow Bib!!! Great job!! We were not just warmed up, we were hottttttttttttttttttt!!!

Next up came Yuzien Born!! And woahhhhhhhhh!!! He did some breakbeats for us and a few tracks that took us to Jamaica surrounded by the islands beauty and soothing atmosphere!!! There is no way possible to feel down while listening to one of Yuzi's sets!!! The combination of his great music and wonderful sense of humor made our spirits soar soooooooooooooo high!!

So far we had cake and next comes the icing in the form of Ribe Oh's tunes!!! Oh man!!! He's got the midas touch, his tunes are pure gold!!! His sound is calming yet exciting at the same time and it is so hard to put a name to it!! He always plays such great tracks!!! He played some tunes that I haven't heard in forever, and I must say that he took us wayyyyyyyyyyyy back when he played one of the songs from Mary Poppins!!! "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag", I don't know about you but I am still singing it right now!!!

Monday's may hate us, but for sure the Monday Hates You crew loves us and what they do, and it shows!!!

Thank you Bibdui, Yuzien Born and Ribe Oh!!! We all love you too!

As you know, we try very hard to bring you a wide variety of music at HOME!!! I believe that it is very important to expand your mind and have many different experiences.

We were very lucky to have Skul Rhode play for us at HOME!!

Skul played a deep, deep set of very personal tunes for us. Most of the tracks were all original ones and so very carefully prepared and extremely intense!!

As I listened I felt myself go on musical journey filled with emotion!!

Skul's set was like a huge, well made roller coaster and the ride was intense!!! The deep was deep, the high was out of sight!!! The intensity was both exhausting and exhillerating at the same time, which as you know is perfect!!

If and when you get a chance to catch a set by Skul, then I encourage you to do so.

I apologize because this review really doesn't do Skul's set justice really, but I think you get the general idea!!

Thank you so very much Skul!!! Loved it!!

This was our second open Tuesday party and it was a great success!!! Lots of interest from the DJ's, there are so many that want to play for you!!!

Here's a brief review of each DJ who played:

Kyra Gilmour played a very energetic minimal set!! You can really tell that she works hard at her music, and I was well pleased with her selection of tunes!!! Always so great to hear someone who loves music and loves to please the listener!!! Thank you Kyra!!!

Myla Vukovic also played a minimal set, in true minimal style. She has a very nice style and I enjoyed it very much!! If minimal is one of your favorite styles, then I encourage you to look for her and have a listen to her the next time she is playing!!! Thank you Myla!!!

DJMuekas is always a crowd pleaser, and we were very lucky to have him play at HOME!! Been awhile since I heard him play because he has been away in rl (oh the horror of being stuck in rl)!!! So now he is back and his music was great to listen and dance to!! Thank you DJM, we've missed you!!!

Kloseline Flatley played a fantastic set!!! It was a set of mixed styles, he packed a lot into just one hour!! He played some breaks and then a bit of techno and moved right along to finish his set with some dubstep!! Kloseline is very versatile!! I loved his set and so did the crowd!!! Thank you Kloseline!!!

Duke Cameron was playing a really entertaining electro house set!! We were just starting to really get into it, when he lost his internet connection We will have him back next week at open Tuesday, so please be sure that you come to hear his wonderful tunes!!! Thank you Duke!!!

Genki Dreamscape had an awesome set as well!! He started off with some really great UK Hardcore, a few of his tracks were his own original tunes that he played using four (yes four) turntables!!! Then he moved on to do a bit of house music and he does well with this style as well!!! And then, he moved on to play some straight up techno!!! Yep!!! His techno selection was really great to dance to, and he had a lot of compliments on this too!!! Genki is very versatile and I enjoyed all his styles very much!!! Thank you Genki!!!

I could have gone into more depth with this review, but let's say this is a "teaser"!!! Just enough information to make you curious enough to definately want to listen to all of these hard working music makers!!!

The music was great, the crowd was great and it was a really wonderful party!!! Thank you all for your support. You are all very special to me and you are always welcome 'HOME'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everybody!!! The Monday Hates You Crew sure did hit a HOMErun!!!!! What a wonderful party, thanks to them and thanks to everyone who attended!!!

It is very obvious to me that not only do we have great people playing their music for us, but we also have a fantastic crowd of sincere music lovers!! It's a real compliment to the Dj's to have a crowd that has fun and who also appreciates what they are hearing!!

So the party started at 12:00 slt/pdt with Bibdui playing!! Sorry to say that I was at my rl job and couldn't get there for the beginning but from what I was told Bibdui really outdid herself this time and blew the doors right off of HOME!!! Everyone loved her set and I sure hope that you were luckier than I was and were there!!!

Next up was YuzienBorn and wooooooooot!!! Yuzi and his wide variety of tunes blew the roof right off of HOME!! His set this week was even more energetic than it normally is and his passion for music really showed!! His great music got our synapsis popping and the crowd went wild!!!!!! Yuzien was a whirlwind and we loved it!!! Thank you so much!!

Okay now time to chill with Dr Ribe Oh and try to collect our senses, if possible. So into what was to become nearly a five hour set with Ribe began!! Ribe is one of those people who knows how to reach right down inside of a person and play with your heart-strings!! One of the most notable comments of the night was: "Listening to Ribe could make a person fall in love". That is an extremely high compliment, one of the highest for sure!!

The Monday Hates You crew is amazing and we are so lucky to have them here at HOME. We are very grateful to them all and very happy to welcome them HOME every Monday along with all of you!!

Gosh everyone!!! Sorry but I feel that I am not giving enough credit to these parties!! What a busy week and weekend we had at HOME!! Filled with the best music to be heard and so many great party goers!! I had such a great time and hope you did too!!! So now it was Sunday and time to chill a bit!!!

We welcomed Mach Volitant to the chillout room!!! His music was so perfect, we just sort of floated around!!! He has a remarkable way of really getting a relaxed and yet excited mood going with his sounds!!

I remember right in the beginning an amazing tune he played. The main part of the track was all done with a tuba and wow!!! There were little tinkling chimes mixed in there with other sounds too, and I could picture myself in a garden surrounded by nothing but the warm sun, a gentle breeze and the sweet sounds of nature along with his music!!! Soooooo relaxing!!!

His set continued for hours (long past when he thought he would stop), but it seemed like only minutes as the world slipped away and nothing else existed for us but that time and place!! I am at a loss here for words really, it's hard to describe the feeling. Mach's sets are something that you really have to experience for yourself!!!

We are so lucky to have Mach play for us here at HOME and I urge you to have a listen to him whenever and wherever you get the chance. You will be so glad that you did!! Thank you so much Mach!! Thank you all!!

When Mach finished, Altern8 took over in the chillout room!! It isn't often that you get to hear A8 play chill!! I really must say that chill may not be what you expect from A8, but he has it down for sure!!!

As the chillout room was overflowing with people, A8 continued to pull out record after record!! Most of them I hadn't heard him play before, and I never got a chance to ask him where in the heck he found it all!! We had some jazz mixed in there, some pop, a bit of trance and a whole lot of other music too. Most notable for me were some tunes with a sitar type sound mixed throughout!!!

The party goers were enthralled and I was majorly impressed!! And in true A8 style, this went on for hours and hours and he never missed a beat!!! What a very special way to end the weekend!!

Thank you so much Altern8!! We all loved it, please do some more chill stuff soon!!!
