Joe Claussell is the Fucken Man.

Lucky enough to have gome to Body and Soul last night, was off the fucken rictor scale, amazing vibe, the best dancers, and the DJs aint to bad either. Joe Claussell is amazing, worken tunes like a genious, so much energy, dos'nt even look at the decks when he's charging, head back arms swinging, looks like a crazed piano player jamming out. He worked the song, don't know the name but you'll all know it, classic track---"don't leave me this way, darlin got a whole lot of love and its all for you...don't leave me this way, I cant survive cant stay alive without your love( you got it by now) anyway man he tweaked this tune into a freanzy, cutin out bringin it back-sick--I can't imagine a set by Joe C himself, would be dangerous, I think I'd collapse, too much. If you seem him do his shit theres know turning back, your gettin decks, thats how it happenned for me anyway.
Peace- know this is'nt too relivent to the NZ scene, but just sharing a fucken wonderful experience I had, and I hope all you house lovers get a chance, or make one, and get to NY, you will not wanna leave.Paeec

Jealousy doesn't get you anywhere, especially to NY.

Cheers Rob, thanks for that.
There was also a new, or new to me Feli kuti track, nice. Another one which was soo nice with lyrics "take time" found out its an un-named/released Maw track, so many hot songs, they come back to me in spits and spats when I am sleeping, can't remember them when I'm awake though-bitch. Peace.

wikkid flav thats sounds like the business, but Joe c never leaves New York cos he don't need to, would you if you could play at Body and Soul every week?

he travels to europe a bit and was in LA lasy week for markus wyats b-day. So I hav'nt seen him in a while, it's not quite the same when he's not there, or when anyone them are missing, they just compliment each other so well. touch if you want e-mail or what ever i will hit you up no worries-Peace.

tanx man, keep lovin it over there for me too

Flav, try touch@dancenet.co.nz, see if that worx

hey FlavourFlav, I am in NYC as well - for a couple of months... where do you go out? am having trouble finding some decent clubs etc... any ideas?

you must be critical if you can't find any good clubs in NY. try Centro fly body and soul and shelter

Yeah Shelter, B and S, Subliminal sessions centrofly, If you come in April or may you be lucky enough to catch MAW at the Dance Ritual at the same joint as shelter with the Phazon sound system previously used at twilo, sickest sound system. Underground collective is a really good party on Fridays in Manhattan, yellorange DJs and really good guests, Expansions Brooklyn with Tony Humphries the new resident. I guese cause your on the house sight here that you like house, if you like the harder stuff you'll find that easy enough, not my scene, tenaglia though spins every friday at Vinyl.Peace

aahh... I remember Body & Soul about 6 months back. Watching lots of people on the dancefloor singing along to Nathan Haines 'Earth is the Place' was the best feeling

about to head off now, ahhhh yes.

Have fun for me you horrible scum

... "watching lots of people on the dancefloor singing along to Nathan Haines "Earth Is The Place" ... its a beautiful thing hearing New York peeps fully getting down to the vibes of New Zealand talent ... I LOVE IT!
