Now it’s time for the next chapter: moving to one of the best rooms in the city and a venue that has earned international acclaim, Eighteenth Street Lounge.

We’re pretty excited, and not just because it’ll be much easier to promote. Here’s why everyone wins:

- awesome sound system
- great wooden dancefloor
- multiple bars
- outdoor deck in warm weather
- multiple floors, one of which has a jazz band. so you can alternate between chilling out and partying hard.

Listen to Lil’ Dave at work!

His first solo release also makes babies do a combination of rumba and samba. I think this dance is called ‘sumba’, which should be the name of his second solo release.

Spirits were high and we banged out.

The Black Snob was there too. Her pictures are much better.

Can’t see much in the Sol Power vids, but you can hear a lot of really excited people. They were so excited that they weren’t trying to leave when the lights came up and the music stopped at 3 a.m. We packed up, the drummers kept playing, folks kept dancing. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday night.

You should download this because:

- Summer’s winding down and you want to squeeze as much out of it as possible.

- You’re having a house party and can’t afford a DJ.

- You miss Meistro, who’s been in Nigeria all summer.

- You need something to hold you down until the three of us can do this again.

- You’ve been feenin’ since I posted up part 1.

- You need to cut loose to some raw dog afro-funk.
