Venue addresses and numbers

pick of the week:

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18

TECH TUESDAYS (weekly) (drum n' bass) @ Emerald City w/ Andy Sine, Karl K, Kaos, Jaeson Kennedy, Armen, Josh Holiday, RubixQube, Tags and Joey Breakdown, $6. It's hard to deny the drum n' bass-craze here in Philly -- a city where Dieselboy's Platinum parties thrive on a world-renowned level; a city where Gasm Recordings was born; a city where "Sutpen's Jungle" went down as one of the most groundbreaking d'n'b events in East Coast history; a city where da jungle kids like it hard, funky and devastating. Tuesday night jungle parties have certainly been in this town before -- like "Konkrete Jungle" (later to be called "Next Step") at the long-gone Club Skyline (yeah, that was back in the day), "Forward" at TPDS Club (shortly after Eden Roc), "Maximum" at Proto Lounge (now Lounge 125), and even the intimate and random "Tronik Sessions" usually at Saint Jack's (which is still rolling). Philly's newest club now host's Philly's newest d'n'b weekly. The opening night is Karl K's Birthday Bash featuring some of Philly's most wicked and ruthless jungle DJs. The party goes until 3 a.m. for this and every Tuesday.
