It’s been exactly a week since hitting the dance floor at Route 196 with Ed. Route 196 is an underground rock music haven like Saguijo, only it is located in Katipunan Ave in QC. For this particular night, the guitars and banging drums are taking a rest and is giving it up for Electro!
The event is called Deep Fried, it’s bringing the new revolution in club/dance music by bringing the beats in various places and harnessing local DJs. The man behind Deep Fried is Toti Dalmacion, same guy behind Groove Nation who is responsible for the rave parties in the 90s. ( I might have mixed up my info a bit, but that’s the gist)
Two nights in a row, I went to places I should’ve known , lots of firsts last weekend. The room is pitch black, with only led lights coming from the devices and bright strobes providing a bit of light. Ed was there before me and is getting down and dirty on the dance floor. It was cool to see people dance all facing the DJs booth and not each other, its as if they are getting dance instructions. The pulsating beats has moved and drowned me so I grabbed a beer and joined Ed and the gang. Met interesting peeps like Swissy, Jim, Arthur and Armi–see you more next year.
the music went on and on with Toti Dalmacion and Cyril, but too bad I missed Arthur’s set. I’m ill equipped to describe the music but I must say its rockin! i’ll just put it parallel to the metallica of dance electro, if that even makes sense. One thing I know is that i’ll continue to attend Deep Fried events and tag more friends along and submit to being part of the new revolution.
Left the route at about 330am aboard a bug on the way to partying in zero gravity.
