| It's the long weekend, and that means there is an extraordinary number of ways to spend your time on the dancefloor. Here's a brief list of what's up with Easter options.
On Thursday, April 12, Bourbon Street has the Sharp Boys in for Dreem Thursday. Notorious for their hard house ways, the Boys should provide you with just enough mayhem to push you over into the weekend.
The notorious Beat Matrix has their long weekend edition in the Taz the same night. Meanwhile, Lush and Lust will take you on a Bermuda Shorts Day ride full of hip-hop, reggae and soca. These long weekenders are always bona fide busy, so arriving early may be a good idea.
On Friday, April 13, you can help celebrate the first anniversary of Bounce at Soul Tattoo. You'll find Phunk and Vinne playing for your pleasure.
Over at the Warehouse, Special Agent has a set with out-of-town guest Genie from the Crobar in Miami. This will go until dawn.
Emerald Café has Taro-Son commanding the techno train all night with Honeey Mustard.
Not to be left out of the Friday night plan, The Palace will bring in John OO Fleming. A high-ranked DJ out of the UK, Fleming plays on the progressive side and will be joined by Doug Page and Thomas the Teacher. Doors will open at 9 p.m.
On Saturday, April 14, your biggie party option gives you a chance to Reload (again) – this time with supa DJs Icon, Gerald and Amy headlining. Local support comes from Pauly Dee, Bazooka Joe, Lord Byron, Troy Allen, DJ Haze, Zero Gravity, Spincycle, Epoc, Proph, Kung Foo and Mista Levi. Judging by the lineup this will be a trance supreme, featuring three rooms to whet your appetite.
Late-night on Saturday, DJ Julius joins the Blissed experience at the Warehouse with Pauly Dee and Anthem. Bruno is in the basement for the all-night, full-contact 4/4.
Soul Tattoo and Slide will also offer a late-night revue, as will Emerald Café.
On Sunday, April 15, Trance America will take over Escape, featuring out-of-town man Chris Fortier playing with Cary Chang and Doug Page for more excursions into trance.
Liquid Funk at Cherry Lounge is your jungle option on Sunday, when Jonus Jordon will give you a ride through the various shades of drum ’n’ bass. This week Fever will join him in the lounge.
Bumpin' Sundays will also get your groove on with Refuge hosting in the basement of What's Up on 17th Avenue. Ascension and Joseph Martin guest. No cover before 7:23 p.m.
Also on Sunday, April 15, the Warehouse will have their 17th anniversary party. This one will feature turbo trax agent Jelo and Los Angeles' Mike Downey playing with Friday resident Special Agent. Drink specials and mayhem are on the slate.
Part two of Beat Matrix's long weekend edition will go down at the Palace on Sunday, featuring their usual crew. Doors open at 9 p.m.
Last, but not least, Tuesday offers a new night at Escape, featuring hard trance and Gangsta Boogie, with DJ's Epoc and Pete Wylde – this week's inaugural guest is Tryptomene.
If you still have money left after all that, Freaky Flow comes to town next weekend, and Planet of the Drums with Deiselboy is around the corner.
