This past week, we have witnessed the sure signs of the new counter-culture revolution emerging in our humble city. Herald the rising of the new generation of the true hip-hop nation...seen through the heart and soul of the Ha'Stylez Krew...as bboys gathered from all over the region and fresh spray paint adorned the walls with live graffiti. Take notice of the wall-to-wall energy created by NeedleGruv as they brought pure funky breaks from the underground basements, right into your ears. And an entire room bounced with an energy I haven't felt in almost a decade, as one of the world's premiere deejays came to town surrounded by a cast of Dance Robots Dance.

I recently had the opportunity to pick up some jazz guitar techniques from the great Danny Vaughn, who preached that music always runs in cycles...becoming incredibly simplistic and easily swallowed by the masses before doing a complete one-eighty and growing in increased complexity and intellect. This cycle is ever present in the clubs and dance floors of this city. And as we begin to move from the commercial fluff that has dominated this city's dance floors for years and towards new positive energy, I am confident when I claim that the counter-culture revolution has begun. And these events are only the first few small steps in a great new journey in our city's music culture. Maybe this time we will get it right...
