Direct Drive July 13 2018!!!
Its been a while, but NYC Drum and Bass Review is back! and I cant think of a better way to come back than a Direct Drive Party! Direct Drive is one of the original weekly nyc DnB parties and a cornerstone of NYC DnB.
[as advertised]
Founded In 1998 by legendary promoter, DJ and entrepreneur DJ Seoul, Direct Drive paved the way for other generations of promoters and helped kickstart the career of many DJs worldwide.
Direct Drive parties were known for their mix of vibes, DJs ability to tell a story and break new hits records while preserving the culture and always paying respect to the classics.
***[side note- What really separated direct drive from the other dnb nights, >mainly Konkrete Jungle< , was no MC. They advertised the night this way. It was more liquid and Konkrete Jungle was harder, darker, and lots of MCs. The 2 nights occupied different spaces so it was really nice to have the diverse takes on the dnb.]
For their first return event, they have enlisted Direct Drive generals The Burner Brothers alongside NY mainstays, DJ Inna K, Lokshot, newcomer from London DJ Dynamic and World of Drum and Bass MC Digga BruckShot

The review-
I've been going to direct drive since 2000 and this is really one of the 2 weekly nights that "was nyc dnb". And when I saw it was free, close to my house and the legendary Burner Brothers were playing I had to go. We got to the venue Title around 12 ish…
sooo I really came out to see the Burner Brothers and anything else would be a plus... I didn't even know who else was playing [ :( ] and like just getting there, walking down the stairs, the DJ is killing it, fucking killing it... and did not stop killing it until sometime after she left the stage. I've been to 100's of dnb shows and I must say Inna K was DOPE... start to finish. I would try to leave the room to the bar [which was hooked up to the other room so u could hear the DJ] and I would have to keep running back for some track I had not heard b4 or just a great set...

Entering the space was like the most basement party you could go to. You walk down like 2 stories into a deep basement club....

Paul C /// Pyramid //// March 7 /// Jungle Dub House
If you like real Jungle Paul C's Bi monthly night at the pyramid is dope.
Every time we go its good. For March 7th the sound system was pretty great-
It was loud like it should be for a club, great / clean bass. The Mc had great energy and really kept it going w Paul C. The dance floor was a bit thin but if you like to really dance it was a dream. This show is never a let down.

! Just Because 4 - Feb 15th
FIGHT breaks out @ DNB Show!!!
The nyc drum and bass review corespondents were at the Just Because 4 show and Valentines love was still in the air [for most of the show...]. Around 2:00 am the show had a raffle as the DJ's were changing. It was at this time that the below DJ [to the left in the light] pushed his way out of the club [as DNB review was recording!] and pushed our reporter out of the way along with a bunch of other people. It was obvious he was pissed but it was not clear why.... About a minute later he pushed his way back to the stage and looked to be threatening the MC.... At this point the Organizers / DJs and MC's broke into 2 groups and were getting very heated. The groups had to be broken apart 6 or seven times. It seemed as though the below DJ's girlfriend had been offended and he was pissed-
dnb reviews staff has been going to jungle shows regularly since the late 90's and this is one of the only fights we have ever seen at a dnb show. We have all been on some very pushy dance floors but everyone gets along even after getting "bumped" pretty hard. This is not what drum and bass is about.

OLD SKOOL JUNGLE @ the Pyramid 7-5-13
I've been going to dnb shows for over 10 years and I must say this was one of the best skilled dance floors I have seen in many- many years. The dance floor is what dnb used to be about and I watch the movement seem to fade over the years.....
BUT
This night was DOPE!
Seeing that dnb/jungle was very alive and very well on the dance floor was the best. The dance floor was not too packed and if you were there to dance to some of the best local dnb - you found the right spot.
Christian Bruna's set was A+ and had the floor moving.
Paul C was A+ as well.
This bi-monthly dnb night at the Pyramid hosted by Paul C is
the best [somewhat unknown] dnb night in nyc [come late]. If you are in the city and love jungle its the best on a hot humid night to make your way out to the pyramid and real nyc dnb.

dnb review covers Valentine's day @ KKJ
dnb review was at konkrete jungle Valentine's day to cover the event.
As always- don't judge the KKJ party till 1:00am. For my personal taste it was a tad liquid BUT the Dj had the floor moving with real junglists. It was very nice to see a fun dance floor alive and moving. It wasn't too packed so it was just about perfect to rock the floor.

I give this night a thumbs up.
