Summer of 07 started off with quite the bang! Richie Hawtin on Thursday, June 6th @ Foundation Nightclub was one intense night! Minneapolis has been into the minimal techno world for years now, and they def celebrated the return of the minimal master in style. A packed club got down to Centrific playing a 1/2 live, 1/2 dj set. Magda took over after that, much to the thrill of the attendees. Richie took the decks at midnight, and proceeded to re-establish himself as the "man to beat" in the world of minimal. It was amazing to sit back and watch him in action, sampling & looping & tweaking & building & pretty much remixing on the fly with his Final Scratch and dj tools.

The next night Dj Icey was supposed to be at Foundation in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, major flight issues in New York stranded Icey on the runway for over 7 hours!!! We dropped the door cover to $5 and had Jack Trash (that's me) and Jeff Hunter (breaks) fill in the missing time. Innovation also took a prime spot showcasing his diverse and energetic dj skills. The night turned out to be quite fun anyways, as they energy level rocked out all night long.

The next night the whole SIM crew headed to Milwaukee for Stellar Spark. We booked all of the headliners except for Dj Funk, and also had 7 of us djing the party as well. The event was held at The Rave in Milwaukee, a huge venue with a wide variety of rooms. SIM was in charge of the main stage, the secondary main stage, and the VIP stage upstairs. The night was pretty crazy, with 5 rooms of djs running music from 8 PM until 2 AM! Every style of electronic music imaginable graced some sound system throughout the night. The main stage featured Jack Trash, Magda, and Richie Hawtin. Most of the night was Magda & Richie, with deep and beatin' minimal techno flowin through the speakers. In the secondary main room Nathan Vox took Icey's slot (STILL stuck in New York) and threw down a sweet set. The breakdancers in the house got it movin' throughout his set. Dj Funk got on the decks and went crazy in his typical hyperactive, energetic style. Crazy booty dancers on stage, ghetto beats, and Funk yellin' in th mic throughout. Always fun watching him party! Donald Glaude took the main slot of the night on this stage, and he def proved why. He immediately got into the groove with his intense eyes, jumping antics, and rockin' djs tricks. Donald blew it up! The SIM go-go dancers got in the mix as well, and the whole room was enjoying the vibe.

A big shout out to everyone who came out and supported any of these events at the beginning of the summer! Tons of fun!
