Once again TV was the backdrop setting for Osunlade. He graced us with his vast array of work and worked that room like he had complete control of our conciseness. As always... as it is with our Yoruba High Priest, the room was slaveship hot and we liked it just the way it was. Hot, steamy, sticky, freaky...
.. let me precursor: this Blog will get a little risque.. sexual in nature even. Please stop reading now if you are too delicate to continue on.
The one thing about House music as it was with Disco., is the sexual energy that's derived from it. Rather it be in musical content or the feeling you get dancing to it. Or perhaps...its the DJ, knowing what, when and where to drop it! (It. being the tune selection) and placement of said tune.
When bodies are packed together in a room filled with a sexy base line, hard bottom, melodious highs..and someone easy on the eyes dancing just inches in front of you..that just makes for a hedonistic good time. The DJ., a good DJ knows this and he/she will play to his/her crowd like a good porn director, he/she wants to see where all of this will lead and make us wet( one way or an other)... and if the DJ is really doing their job it can be promising for them as well.
The original name for this Blog was The Blow Job set!- Cause that is exactly what each and everyone of the DJs that spun this weekend deserved from their significant other!
You see, when a DJ plays a good set AND if they have a girl/boyfriend they get just regular sex if they are NOT too tired from a night out...BUT!!! when a DJ plays a HELLUVA SET if their partner is there.. ( and TRUST ) me on this one... A Blow job is in order and should be given without hesitation.. don't wait until ya get home.,do that shit in the car on the way home... once you get home..again in the morning before work.. yeah that's how good those gentlemen played last night... each one of them deserved a standing ovation and a wee bit of skull action!
Trust me, it encourages them to make sure every time the play and you are there they play their best set ever! We all know how much men love a good blow job..its kinda their favorite thing besides the music! Ladies enjoy good head game too but they didn't play this weekend so I'm only talking about the menfolk!
Beautiful Sunday... word had gotten around that Osunlade would be performing once again at Motor City Wine! - (That Rick Wilhite/David A-P are something else ain't they- lil stinkers)!!
Surprising us with not only Onsunlade but his Nu Bang brothers.. Sensie Sweet Daddy aka Cordell Johnson(no relation) and Sensei Melee' aka Greg Gray (Greg, I hope I spelled that right) but you know who you are!!! and now Detroit does too!
ANYWHO!!!
My home girl and I, DJ Create Rogers aka Coochie had gone down to Mercury burger cause we were hungry as a hostage.. we knew Osunlade would be coming on by the time we had gotten back. So we did our thang swallowed up some good meat and made our way back down to MCW fully expecting Osunlade to be beating the box..but much to our surprise and delight is was 3rd Sunday resident DJ Rick (middle name unknown) Wilhite playing an edit or remix( hell I don't know the difference) of La Costa by Natalie Cole.. and the dance floor was packed! With our stomachs full we still got on that over packed dance floor and grooved our tails off. The energy was already high and again.. hedonistic. The people were please and laughter good times and jovial behavior were the norm for the night!
Now...normally and it doesn't really matter who is playing, you will have people both in and outside enjoying themselves, but on this night we stayed inside cause, "Real Right" Wilhite was on some otha shit! Mr. Everything is gonna be Alright!! Yeah he deserved one of the aforementioned benefits as well! cause that bright smiled DJ was in a zone!
Onsunlade came and laid down some straight fiyah, and while I liked his set, I did enjoy his set the night before a tad bit more! MY BLOG.... MY THOUGHTS
Now, The Nu Bang Clan are a collection of DJs across the globe and include two of my favs. DJ Alan King ( who's Nu Bang name I don;t recall-and this is HIS baby) and DJ Uchikawa., but last night Sweet Daddy and Sensei Melee' RIPPPPPPPPED IT!
I had the pleasure of hearing them both before and to tell you the truth the 1st time I heard them I was not really that impressed. I mean I thought they were good but that was back in the days before I became fully enlightened. My assessment of Cordell was ol' sexy drop top down, deep soulful tune selector. and Greg (IMO) back then, before I had become enlighten, well I thought Greg was just another Top 40 House DJ who could blend his ass off!
WRONG!!! WRONG!!!
WHEN I TELL YOU GREG GRAY CAME IN THERE AND SET THAT FUCKING PLACE ON FIYAH THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
That man tore us a new A'hole I can't name ONE track this kneegrow played but what I can tell you is each and every track was killer!! OMG!!! He misbehavied his ass off!
Now a few Blogs back I told you a good indicator of how good a DJ is is to watch the club owner... if he/she stays on the dance floor then its pretty safe to assume that the DJ is hot as fish grease.. Normally, it's our human Unicorn that stays on the floor aka Melissa A-P for the last couple of sets its been David! and he danced all night! but back to, NOT about Dave!!
In my opinion Greg owned last night.. NOT because he was any better than Osunlade or any worse.. but because he kept the crowed super ampt AFTER the headliners set was over! and... this mofo was so good Osunlade himself was in awe of Greg's power and prowess... somebody PLEASE give that man a blow job... hell swallow cause he deserved it!
Then, when I posted on Facebook, Gregs ol'humble ass wanted to down play it! 1st off Greg is a Que and I have never ever met a "humble" Que! Second!! I wanted to get in my car. Drive to Chicago. Find Greg. Give him, " shakin DJ syndrome" get back in my car and drive home ( -quickly- cause it looks like Greg is pretty good at throwing hands so.. yeah) for posting that foolishness! He blew the doors off with his set! Yeah Greg I said it and ain't a DAMN thing you can or will do about it! - Greg I was not taking away from the man of the hour, the great Osunlade.. but it takes a special kinda DJ to not only follow him but keep the crowed elevated.. Kinda like that Magic Johnson basketball analogy thingy we talked about - you are gifted my friend!
Then enter.. Sweeet Daddy, Cordell Johnson ( no relation) most in Detroit outside of the Nu Bang clan and their respective groupies know him for the Excursion parties he has every year at Dysards spot!
To be honest by the time Cordell comes on I'm either too tired or too inebriated to give him my full attention but last night he COMMANDED my attention and I was fully engaged and became his, " speaker freaker"- I'm so sorry Cordell, I missed judged you were completely disrespectful to those decks last night and showed NO mercy! ...and we loved every minute of your set!
Cordell took us on a musical odyssey. Most often with our age demographic (IMO) being the closing DJ is like Dinner Theater.. (no body is really paying attention) shiiiiiiid last night they did cause Cordell Johnson created some brand new funk!
Cordell gave us some of the coldest tunes of the night and he even gigged a lil bit! Cordell is kinda shy behind the tables.. at least he has been whenever I've observed him!
Osunlade fed us all with his special gift. He was a tributary so to speak each DJ that touched the tables last night. The sets they played are direct result of his greatness..
You see, the mid west was well represented last night..
I've always said DJs make other DJs bring their "A" game!! and when you follow someone like Osunlade anything other than your "A" game is foolish!
I know the blow job analogy was a bit much.. but I had to get your attention and make you understand!
Ok and I wanted to get a little freaky with it.. nothing wrong with freakiness when you
Let The Music Play
