A win-win situation

DJ Nocturnal: manhandler of wax.

DJ Nocturnal: manhandler of wax.

A dual release party for DJ Nocturnal’s Too Raw for Radio and Live Audible Soul’s Soul Sessions LP happens on Thursday, October 9, at 9 p.m. at Image VIP Lounge, 705 J Street. $8 presale (includes free Too Raw for Radio mix tape) available at UnitedState, $10 door, 21 and over.

I’ll never do this again, but if you attend this event and you don’t have fun, I’ll give you a present. Seriously, I’ll hand you a gift. I have that much faith in DJ Nocturnal, Live Audible Soul, Righteous Movement, Random Abiladeze, Soulifted and DJ Rated R that there’s mathematically no way for a bad moment to occur. The event is a dual release party for DJ Nocturnal’s dynamic Too Raw for Radio mix tape and Live Audible Soul’s Soul Sessions LP (which I haven’t heard yet). These are some of the most enthusiastic, friendly and warm performers to grace our city, so their shows always guarantee a community vibe with tons of participation and unpredictably strange stage antics. Even if you’re tired that night—even if your leg is broken, your goldfish just died and you’re legally deaf—go anyway. And, after the party, if you don’t have fun, e-mail me at <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> </script> explaining your reasons, and I’ll present you with a gift from my heart. Word.
