The BBC took a trip to the Sky Lounge in
Federal Hill on Thursday(4.17.03) to hear dj Karizma of the new Kohesive
productions play. This is
his weekly residency on Thursdays. I usually like to attend parties,
take a few pics, and dance a little. Well I ended up sweating on the
dance floor like I was back at the WMC in Miami. After a little
while I just put the damn camera down and just danced. I am going to go
out on the limb and say that I think dj Karizma is one of the banginest
(is
that a word?) dj's in Baltimore. This brotha', armed with a cd mixer
plus two turntables, easily has the advantage of mixing two types of
media. Being a producer, like so many dj's now, allows him to remix
a song and play it in his set knowing that the crowd won't hear it
anywhere else. Like a bangin' remix of Robin Rush's "Let the
Sunshine in". A couple of weeks ago I got the pleasure of
hearing a remix he did of the O'jays' "I love music" that was dedicated to
his lovely girlfriend Taneka. On this night Karizma ripped the hell
out of the turntables and those of us that was on the floor proudly screamed
and yelled. What would you expect from someone that was in the
Basement Boys. This club has sort of the same vibe as the Red Maple but
the lounge area is mostly downstairs and the dance floor is upstairs.
It should also be mentioned that this club has a very nice sound system to
me. The ladies of Baltimore can always find the good parties but
fellas' I wish more of you would come down to this spot on
Thursdays if you can. I
needed help with the ladies on the dance floor. I had to
remember that I was married when I saw a pretty Latin honey with some
tight, faded blue jeans on. But only half a second Kim☺.
I rolled out at 1:30am because I had to be at work Friday morning. If you want to hear Karizma in the mix visit Karizma's Korner on this
website to hear exclusive mixes of "Unreleased and Forgotten Grooves".
He has one track in the 2nd mix where he is playing the guitar. So
if
you're not busy on Thursdays try to visit the Sky Lounge. The address and
number of this club is in our club directory. It's only a couple of
blocks past the Inner Harbor on Cross St(across from the Cross Street
Market) and there is no cover charge right now. The club has a bar downstairs and upstairs with reasonable
prices......And of course there is damn good House
music.....................See you there!!!!!!!!
You can catch DJ Karizma at the
the Redwood Trust on April 27th, Sonar Lounge on May 17, and the Sky
Lounge every Thursday |
