“Cool” in the colloquial sense, has and always will be a subjective term because much like “beauty”, the definition is held within the eye of the beholder. Hipster, a term that has been around since the ’40s (think Jack Kerouac and “The Beat Generation”), originally consisted of young people who defied the conformist normalcy imposed upon them by the elders of their time. The expression still maintains much of that same meaning but has now taken on a very regional identity. DC to NYC to LA, all bring their own element of “hipster” to the table. Since we’re in DC it would be very fitting if to mention the authority on all things hipster – HipsterOverkill. Their monthly shindig, The Fringe brings out many of the often hated but still imitated bunch along with many others who wouldn’t be considered hipsters at all.

Hosted by MCSL and DJs Dimitris George and Tru, The Fringe takes place the first Monday of every month at Dupont Circle’s Steve’s Bar Room, a dive bar inside of an office building – irony at its best! As with most parties, the night starts off light but gradually builds into a make-shift sweat box by the end of the evening. Along with the growing crowd, the intensity in the music builds right along with it creating a heightened magnetism to the dance floor. DJs Dimitris George and Tru go back and forth, almost head to head with the dopest in Electro breaks, some old and new school House, the most nostalgic of 80s Pop and some Baltimore Club sounds from 30 minutes up the road (yes current Baltimore Club is willingly being enjoyed in Washington, DC).

One can never neglect to mention the always fun and undying energy known of the resident photographer, Garai Rice. He manages to capture practically the entire evening with his picture box, maneuvering through the room and dancing as hard as all the party-goers. You’re almost convinced that he uses an adhesive on his hands because he never drops the camera once. The guy is too real for TV!

By 12:30 AM, much of the crowd has lost their inhibitions to shots of Jagermeister and Vodka, both washed down with Heineken to name a few potables. However, ambitions of achieving an eventful evening are still high.

The first that I read is from XLR8R

Hailing from DC but aesthetically linked to Baltimore, DJ/producer Jesse Tittsworth makes tracks that don’t always uphold the grand tradition of that neighboring city’s venerated club scene. His debut LP here is an unabashed party record that relies too heavily on humor and guest appearances to hide a dearth of inventive beatmaking. A handful of winning tracks (“911” and “Tear the Club Up 2008”) offer clattering percussion for a propulsive, high-energy sound, and “4.21” manages a fair Justice impression, but elsewhere things go downhill fast: Baltimore shout-out “B-Rockin’,” is sadly just a watered-down retooling of Daft Punk’s “Teachers.”

The second is from Pitchforkmedia
Tittsworth has produced, by and large, an album of potential novelty singles. That’s fine– you can argue that some of the best records are novelty records– but the problem is that most of the tracks on 12 Steps are neither particularly novel nor memorable. The guitar-coated “Almond Joy” begs you to– wait for it– “play with my heart like a toy,” and the soppy light R&B of “Here He Comes” nicks a melody from Hall and Oates’ “Maneater”, which Timbaland referenced with Nelly Furtado two years ago. As many words as the Clipse have for snow, Baltimore club and its cousin Miami bass have for sex, so letting guest rapper Pitbull settle for such Kindergarten Cop-level laziness here as “spread legs like a gynecologist” is an insult. Not to his Miami base, not to Baltimore clubbers, but to pop fans. We’re fickle– not stupid.

So those are two reviews…
I suggest everybody listen to it for themselves and make up their own minds…
