DIZZY at Galapagos Art Space - DJ JD Samson

Woke up and realized my cell phone is M.I.A. this morning ... gonna have to blame that on Williamsburg's Galapagos Art Space and the bartenders who take "make it strong" to heart. JD Samson (of Le Tigre, New England Roses, and of her own fabulous fame) spun for the DIZZY dance party until the wee morning hours, kicking off around 11pm. As a longtime fan of Le Tigre, I knew JD wouldn't disappoint, and as the club filled up with beautiful boys, bois, girls, etc., I started to get the feeling that this was going to be "one of those nights." Sure enough, I ended up on stage with my friends as soon as some New Order hit the speakers, and JD honored my request for some Joy Division a little later on (what a doll!). The main room was packed wall-to-wall with makeupped kids and hip-checks galore, and from my vantage point on the stage, I can tell you that no one in this fair city need ever worry about being forced to shake it to Hot 97 fare if they want to blow off some steam. Careening through the night with quality 80s and 90s tunes and JD's own delicious mashups, we were, as they say, in good hands. Very good hands.
