Pick of the Week
K-SWIFT TRIBUTE |
|
|---|---|
| @Silk City $5 one off |
SUNDAY, AUGUST 31 For this party Philly and Baltimore will come together to celebrate the life of DJ K-Swift, who passed earlier this summer in a swimming accident. She was one of Baltimore's most important DJs in the clubs and on the FM radio (she's was the only female mix show coordinator in the country). Scottie B is the godfather of the Baltimore club sound and DJ Sega is one of Philly's hottest young producers, shit every DJ on this lineup is dope and could headline a party on their own, so expect hot fire from doors open to close. Proceeds from the door of the night will go to the K-Swift contributions fund. w/ Scottie B & King Tut, Emynd & Bo Bliz, DJ Sega, Dirty South Joe spinning: house, hip-hop
