Instinctive Grooves presents

VIRUS;
an April Fools Day weekend
Farenhite Nightclub; Rio Grande Valley




The Wikipedia defines a computer virus as a self
replicating/self-reproducing-automation program that spreads by putting in
copies of itself into other executable code or documents. A computer virus
behaves in a very similar way to biological virus, where it spreads by
inserting itself into living cells. Tonight we?re going mimic a computer virus to infect you with a virus known worldwide as the sounds of Drum and Bass, with a dash of Breaks
spread thru out the night. Get ready to feel the low end vibrate in your chest
with additional sound being brought in for low end enhancements, and artists
that have spread there infectious sounds from L.A, to DC, to UK, to the
prospering South Texas RGV, this is a special one off event.


Your hosts for the evening:

REID SPEED
Breakbeat Science Direct Drive; Los Angeles
www.reidspeed.com www.breakbeatscience.com

It was only a matter of time before the USA?s first lady of Drum & Bass was
to come thru the prospering RGV dance scene. Reid Speed began her DJ career in
the New York City drum & bass underground in the early to mid 90?s. By the
summer of '97 she was a resident of rave promoters Stuck on Earth and the
following year a member of the Direct Drive crew. At the same time Reid was
serving as her college radio station's RPM director and also working at
Breakbeat Science, the US's original drum & bass store. Capitalizing on their
large and widespread customer base, her demos soon spread across the country,
which led to her traveling to around the US and Puerto Rico, as well as
Ireland, Canada, and Mexico. Following her overseas stops in 2000 and after
thirteen self released mix tapes and one animated short movie for Showtime's
Shonext channel, her debut mix cd "Resonance" was released by Breakbeat
Science. The mix garnered massive critical praise and was a commercially
successful debut. In support of the release, a 40-date tour sponsored by Mixer
Magazine introduced her sound to an even wider audience. Many tours later, and
now producing tracks on a frequent, she & her producer pals recently completed
an artist album, which will be released sometime in the coming year. This is
her first time appearance in the valley so lets give her a warm welcome as we
enter the infectious ride of the REID SPEED.


DJ PROXXYInstinctive Grooves RaversOnly Club Five; Washington, DC
www.InstinctiveGrooves.com www.raversonly.com

For over ten years, Dj Proxxy (also known thru out the Baltimore/DC area as
Randy) has been embedded with the electronic dance music scene. His
contributions include performing at regular and one off events thru out the
Eastern region of the U.S., to working lighting at venues located in
Washington, DC such as The Edge nightclub and Nation Nightclub; to holding a
Friday night residency at Club FIVE. Proxxy has been traveling all over the
U.S. and recently the UK delivering his ability to mesh Drum and Bass with Old
and Nu Skool Breaks tracks together nicknamed style (you guessed it) Drum and
Breaks. Although normally he plays Breaks and House with Hi energy tracks,
this night he?ll be keeping a straight line down the DnB path as this nights
gonna build into a fury of Drum and Bass..





DJ OMEN
Audiotek Txdnb Records; McAllen/Brownsville
www.audiotekevents.com www.txdnbrecords.com

Omen's interest in music could literally be categorized like an encyclopedia,
but what quenches his thirst for sound is hip-hop and drum and bass. Becoming
involved in the rave scene as a dancer for production companies in northern
Texas, Omen took a liking to the versatile and undefined sound of drum and
bass. He has opened up for Dj's such as Dieselboy, Dj Craze and Reid Speed. His
creative and bold mixing has made him a favorite in South Texas. Nowadays Omen
has his hands in the production game currently making his own hip-hop and drum
and bass sounds, as he opens and closes this superb night of sounds @ Farenhite
Nightclub.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
