ReBound This Week!
Rebound: A weekly party at Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City
this week
Negroclash
with
a)ex O_
and your semi-regular beach bunnies
Justin Carter and DJ Probus (Nublu)
Three DJs make up Negroclash: DJ Lindsey relentlessly represents, DJ Language couldn't work harder, and Duane, an Other Music store floor-osopher, is the best-kept secret in the record business. As a team, their mixing makes you want to break into applause. A brilliant blend of phuture funk and cosmic crunk propels the party here, brimming with hooks, hops, and hits. Principals like Cat Stevens, Frankie Knuckles, and Jellybean all show up, as do cuts from the Pointer Sisters and MAW, but the juiciest string comes when "Automatic" turns into Toney Lee, folding into In Deep, and winding up with Phil Asher's break-up jam "Having Your Fun." As the 75-minute arc soars, the floor goes with it.
Although his musical career started with playing the piano in grade school, a)ex O.’s real passion began several years later when he was exposed to the rave scene in Colorado. With his roots in deep soul music, it’s no surprise that his first encounters with House music created a lasting & powerful impression. Diving into his passion for the dancefloor and funky 4-to-the-floor beats, a)ex jumped behind turntables of his own and has never looked back.
Probus and Justin Carter, residents from Nublu, start off the evening with sounds from punk funk to techno.

Busy Summer
Wow,
It's been such a busy summer I haven't had much of a chance to Blog... but here is a bit of a round up..
6 mentions this summer in the NY Times, plus 4 weeks in a row in Time Out Mag, and lots of other TV and print coverage has started to actually put us on the Map. A burger event with Gothamist/A Hamburger Today and a kids breakfast and Rock Out Concert with TONY Kids were the too big highlights..
Check out this video link about us and some other night spots..
ReBound, our party on Saturday Night has also been a big hit.. We can't mention the party in LIC that gets you all WARM before you come over to cool down at ReBound.. but with the 4k to 7k people who attend that day time party checking out the modern art and so forth it's been really easy to get lots of people to check us out. Doug Singer has been doing a great job putting together a hot world class list of DJs and every one has been totally chill. Hangout music til 11pm and then it really kicks in.. We serve until 3am on Saturday..
