by Brent Crampton ~ photo by Jerome Montalto ~ Garrick Michael is the man behind the scenes of Nebraska's top electronic club, Bricktop. Holding a residency and managing the bookings at Bricktop, Garrick is very familiar with the crowd that frequents the hard-wood dance floor. Garrick has been a staple to the Nebraska scene for years having played at Club Joy during the notorious Blue Production events, Bar 415, Velvet Lounge, Shark Club and Bada Bings to name a few. When Garrick finds a track he likes, he's rather secretive about letting other people know what he's bumpin', but I've talked him into giving phocas an exclusive look at what he's moving the dance floors with at the moment.

Jurgen Vries-The Theme :: (trance) Ultimate end of the night track.

Ferry Corsten- Rock Your Body Rock :: (trance) If you don't know this track by now, hand me your headphones, you are no longer a dj.

Paul Van Dyk featuring Vega 4-Time of Our Lives (PVD club mix) :: (trance) Great track, great male vocal.
Chemical Brothers-Get Yourself High :: (breakbeat) hip-hop vocal over dirty breakz. Bass line gets dark and, for a lack of a better term, farty. You will like!

Utah Saints-Power to the Beats :: (breakbeat) Chuck D on vocals. Uses rock riffs throughout.

Agnelli & Nelson-Holding onto Nothing :: (trance) Great female vocal. Driving trance at its best. Everything Agnelli & Nelson doing is good. Scratch that, Platinum!

Way Out West-MuthaFu**a (Mix 1) :: (progressive trance) Unlike anything Way Out West has done before. Pitched up a bit this is a high energy end of the night track.

Plummet-Cherish the Day (Antillas Remix) :: (trance-breaks) Starts out breaks, moves to trance, back and forth till the end. Great builds, great female vocal.

Iio-Smooth (Airbase Remix) :: (progressive trance) Remember Rapture, remember At the End? More great trance by Iio. Quick tid bit. Iio was originally named Vaio since they created all their music on a Sony Vaio laptop. Sony sent a cease and desist letter so they changed their name.

BQQ-Cold as Ice :: (hard house) Vocal from Foreigner. Everyone knows the original so it is always a crowd pleaser.

q104 country christmas

Jackson Dean is one of our more favorite rising stars just now and this was a rare opportunity to catch him outside of the glitz and glam of an arena show.  Indeed, we had been trying to catch up with him, in just this type of format, for more than a year.  Each attempt was thwarted for one reason or another and we had kind of given up hope.  Then comes Q104 (KBEQ-FM) with their annual Christmas show featuring none other than this elusive musician. Hosted by PBR Big Sky at the Power & Light District, with proceeds going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, this proved the perfect opportunity to catch his act, up close and personal, and unplugged.  This is the true test of the talent of any musician, to get up on stage with nothing more than their voice, instrument and stage lighting. Jackson Dean did not disappoint either. A country musician who is not entirely country, he is rhythm and blues, and a little...

weston wassailing

  A random encounter with wassailers in Weston found them shuffling along peddling their vocal wares on the opening day of festivities at Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard .  They had chosen the perfect day, with a bright shining sun and temperatures lurking about 0ºC, though seemed a bit confused about their role. This gang of carolers were attempting to apply house wassailing to the setting.  As this was an orchard, wassailing etiquette dictates they wander about reciting their incantations and singing to the trees of the fields in an effort to promote a good harvest for the coming year.   Shoppers appeared undeterred, mostly ignoring the misguided cretins.  They were entirely too obsessed with the small row of merchant tents where freezing sellers made every effort to hoard what little warmth they could.  In the big house, aka barn, others huddled around the cider tanks, with offered a variety of food, libations, and a more infused sort o...

a kc rep carol

An evening with the  Kansas City Repertory  interpretation of the Charles Dickens tale, "A Christmas Carol," turned out an excellent performance in this 43rd rendition the classic.  A diverse representation of performers stood for nary a slip in their execution.  The narrator stumbled a couple of times but recovered so quick, it was hard to accept that it had really occurred. When you have that many lines, it is hard not to miss one here and there though. Early in the opening acts of the show, a phone voiced its annoying melody.  However, nobody on stage missed a beat, or even blinked, as the device quickly silenced.  Technology is hard for some, I suppose.   It was not for the production though! A revolving set appeared well manicured and suitable for every angle of the production, and actors flowed seamlessly across and between scenes.   Extending into the audience as well, extras sometime enhanced the lighting and sound, prior to thei...

celebration of the dead in 2024

A forecast of little more than continuing rain did not deter our trek over to Central Avenue in Kansas City, KS for the annual Dia de Muertos celebration.  The memories of last year commanded a follow-up on this cultural festivity in the hometown. The afternoon had been relatively rain-free with the sun peeking through from time to time. Arriving around 4:30 pm, we almost immediately wished that we had come sooner.  Within an hour of arrival, heavy rain sent folks scurrying for cover. We were fortunate enough to have stopped about that time to enjoy a little delicious local flavor, under a canopy, and from the very same folks as in the year before.   In spite of uncooperative weather, a general air of warmth and amiability filled the streets of Central Avenue, overcome only by opportunities to enjoy music, dancing in the streets, and some of the most delicious food and treats to be found anywhere. The lineup proved every bit as enjoyable as the y...

contrasting garden glow

This date after Thanksgiving our crew remained a bit more local, visiting the  Festival of Lights at Powell Gardens .  The experience is quite a contrast with the effort last year in St Louis.   Many of the displays stand out nicely, as do a few very intentional arrangements in random locations.  They are well-placed for interaction and photographs. However, sidewalks lined with lighting stretch in random directions without any sort of guidance, seemingly without intent or construct.   The paths occasionally intersect, sometimes through tunnels of light, which is the highest level of interactivity.  Treats are available for purchase at multiple locations, but only one contains enough warmth to encourage folks to linger any length of time. Other fires pale in comparison, making the only other temperature refuge beyond the main building, Santa's workshop.  He was very busy there, enjoying the company and a photo shoot among the y...

Entering Week 5 of the contest, competition was getting tight as more and more desired to make name for themselves and their bodies.  This was the last round before the finals, when the winners of this and the last four would be brought back in front of Shotgun Jackson for a final decision.  Of course, after there was the usual drunken debauchery and dancing to beats provided by Bill Pile and Steve Thorell.   view more photos from this event
