Thursday night dance party with Afrobeat, rock, disco, Latin, psych and soul jazz, with go-go by Cynthia Rose.
DJ Baby Berlin takes over The Trestle Inn this Thursday, October 22, for another edition of Electric Hotpot. It's a Thursday night built for dancing, and the music is where the name comes from: it pulls together Afrobeat, rock, leftfield disco, Latin sounds, psych, and soul jazz. If you've been before, you know the drill—it's a broad mix that doesn't stick to one corner of the room, and it's designed to keep you moving.
Baby Berlin is on the decks, and the night gets a bit more than just a DJ set with go-go by Cynthia Rose. For those who aren't familiar, go-go is a DC-born style of funk that keeps the beat going without a break, so you've got live percussion running alongside the records. It's the kind of thing that makes a dance floor feel a lot more like a party and a lot less like a club.
Electric Hotpot is a regular Thursday night, so this is one of those spots in the city that's there when you're looking for something to do mid-week rather than waiting for the weekend. The music spans a lot of ground—Afrobeat, rock, leftfield disco, Latin sounds, psych, and soul jazz—and it's all aimed at the dance floor.
