October 31-November 6, 2002 beat box Boo! Scared? Don’t be. It’s only Squarebiz’s Halloween Illadelph Xperiment, a night of funky-fresh music and thematic madness: Cash Money and Mike Nyce keep it hip-hop in the Superheroes room; Big Rich Medina and YaCornelius get down classically on the Soultrain; it’s a reggae Pajama Party with Kenny Meez in the next room over. Wait, there’s more: pop life and classic ’80s with Excel and Adam Bomb on the ones and twos; Joey Blanco and Brendan tag team with Carnivale, a feisty declaration of Latin House; and the Monster Mash, a rock explosion by DJ Train. Thu., Oct. 31, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $20 ($15 with costume), 1616 Locust, (the name is the address), 215-704-3792, www.squarebiz.org. Now you can’t beat that with a bat! But, um, one very old heavy-hitter is taking the stage at the E-Factory this same spooky night. Jurassic 5 is the headliner but it’s The Beatnuts and Big Daddy Kane for the opening assists. Schoolly D is on the bill too. Yea! The early bird gets the worm for this show. Thu., Oct. 31, 8:30 p.m., $25-$28, The Electric Factory, 421 N. Seventh St., 215-336-2000, www.electricfactory.com. And then there was one. The Yohimbe Brothers, a.k.a. Vernon Reid and DJ Logic, make their move. Thu., Oct. 31, 8 p.m., $20-$22, The TLA, 334 South St., 215-336-2000, www.electricfactory.com. Hip-Hop Lives. Of course it does. Each and every first Friday of the month, Tritone comes alive with a big ol' live throwdown. Who said hip-hop was just two turntables and a microphone? This edition hosts Electric City, 40th Dimension, Black Lung and the Rich Tucker Trio. Fri., Nov. 1, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $5, Tritone, 1508 South St., 215-545-0475. I'll leave y'all with a little announcement: WKDU's DJ Lil' Dave of the famous Down Lo mix-show fame is changing formats. In his own words, "Hip-hop just isn't what it was in the '90s." Don't get him wrong, he loves it to death and you can hear him and his Ill Vibe Collective crew spinnin' it ridiculous twice a month at the Bodyrock. Sat., Nov. 2, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $5, Aqua Lounge, 323 W. Girard Ave., 215-769-5114, www.illvibe.net(where you can also here illvibe radio). And, expect broken-beat, bossa nova, funk breaks, soulful house, downtempo, afrobeat and acid jazz on the revamped Down Lo. Every Sunday, WKDU, 91.7 FM, 6-9 p.m., www.wkdu.org. Join Dave as he plays “the future of the funk.”
