“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.

So without further adieu here is my latest top ten!

1)  Praise to the JBs-ATFC–I heard this song last week and immediately knew that it was going to be in my top slot!!  This a great song and will undoubtedly be a hit in the clubs for a while!

2)  Open Your Heart-Dirty South & Axwell–Still a favorite of mine and everyone else’s!!  The song is masterfully done but what else can you expect from these two…

3)  Touch Me-Chocolate Puma & Bingo P–WOW!!  I love this song!!  Alot of energy!!  This is a primetime banger!!

4)  Better Day (TV Rock Remix)-Dirty South & Paul Harris feat. Rudy–Now this tune has been out for a while but this remix makes a good song, great!!

5)  Le Night Demoniator-Lina–I have to keep this in the top ten for two reasons.  One, I still play this and get a great reaction and two, its FIRE!!!!

6)  Electric Feel (Justice Remix)-MGMT–Mid-tempo banger for early in the night or early in the morning. 

7)  Children (Club Mix)-Dave Darell–Like I said in the previous top ten, this remix improves the song!!

 Infinity 2008 (Klaas remix)-Guru Josh Project–I saw Moby play this at the Virgin Mobile Fest in Baltimore, the roof almost came off the tent!!

9)  It’s Love (Trippin’)-South West Beats feat. Claudine Patrice–Hype Mix, Good Production and the singer sounds like Jill Scott=A Big Tune

10)  Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix)-The Ting Tings–Calvin takes a mediocre song and gives me a reason to play it…

Throwback Track of the Week–Tracey In My Room-EBTG vs. Soul Vision–I remember dancing to this song in Rhodes in 2000…It’s one of those tunes you don’t forget!!

Well thats it for this week!!  Hit me with your comments and emails!!

Now here comes my review…Now I’m going to preface this with

my love for Justice and the whole French Electro sound but this

dramatic moroderesqe composition loses something when paired with

a video of skinny French guys trying on clothes.
