thank you!, set-lists, next SHIFT july 25

A very gracious 'thank you' to everyone who made it out to SHIFT on Saturday!  It was amazing.  We celebrated the life of Michael Jackson through many tracks (thanks to the amazing sounds of DJ Lil'El!), the Independence Day of Djibouti, and Helen Keller's Birthday.  It was really amazing.  500 people?  Yes.  Indeed.  It was wonderful.  You guys were amazing.  Thank you so much for being there!  Keep us in mind the 4th Saturdays of every month.  The Best Music. A Place to Escape. Cheap Drinks. No labels. All-Inclusive. Dance Your Face Off. A Mutiny on the Monotony. It's really that simple. We love you.

come have a vicodate with lil'el and jacko

After the shock of Michael Jackson's death yesterday, we must march on and celebrate his life.  He may not have been perfect.  He may have been batshit crazy.  He may have consumed more vicodin than Liz Taylor's on a Tuesday...but, he changed music.  He changed everything.  He was a talent that may never be matched, and he will be remembered in the same breath as Elvis, The Beatles, and Madonna as one of the biggest music stars of our time.  So, on Saturday @ SHIFT, come celebrate how MJ attempted to heal the world and make it a better place one small touch at a time.  

On Saturday, from 11:30-12:30, our guest DJ Lil'el will be dedicating a large portion of her set to MJ and his art.  I hope everyone can make it in to hear this magnificent spinstress in action.  She raises the bar for District disc jockeys, and will lightin' a dancefire under your ass.     

DJ Lil'el has also produced a promo mix to get you salivating for her style.  As stated, she goes on at 11:30 p.m., and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.  

We are really excited to have her.  She is completely the cat's pajamas.  Check her out below:
