Prince vs. Michael Jackon Tribute Photo Gallery
It was Friday night, and I've never felt so right. Last Friday, May 2nd, NY-based DJ Spinna brought his annual Soul Slam party to the left coast. The east coast DJ took over eastside hotspot, The Echoplex, for his annual Prince vs. Michael Jackson tribute.
Spinna indulged the Prince fans first with a two-hour set that ended around midnight, when he began the Michael Jackson 2-hour set. DJ Rhettmatic (Beat Junkies) played MC for most of the night and Spinna's posse onstage mirrored the crowd's reaction and got hype at the beginning of every track. Our flat-ironed hair went to waste that night because we were sweating on the dancefloor for all four of those hours (okay, with a few trips to the bar here and there). During every song, Spinna would stop the music and partygoers could hear the entire dancefloor singing along in drunken and soulful unison. We exaggerate not. Every song. We went crazy for "Let's Go Crazy" and rocked out to "Rock With You", the final song. The entire venue danced and sang their hearts away like it was still the 80's and they were still little kids dancing and singing in front of a mirror. The night was, dare we say, the most fun we have had on a dancefloor in a looo(oooo)ng time. Maybe it's because we've been so inundated with hipster electro beats and have forgotten how good it feels to rock out to real soul? We wish our souls could be slammed on the dancefloor like that every night. So did the Purple One reign supreme? Or did the Gloved One show us why he's the crowned King of Pop? We'd call it a draw. Don't make us choose!! CLICK HERE OR ON THE PHOTOS TO VIEW ENTIRE GALLERY.     PHOTOS BY ANDREW BOONKRONG
