CLUB DRAMA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem started in the line to get in the club but we\u2019ll save that for a later time. Since<\/span> <\/strong>Marques Wyatt<\/a> exudes a spirit of positivity we shall focus on the positive attributes of the night at CLUB DRAMA.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The affable, Marques Wyatt, Los Angeles\u2019 pioneer of the long running club night Deep, presence was not marked with pretentiousness but by grace and humility. Therefore, Marques allowed the music to speak volumes to draw the crowd\u2019s attention to the dance floor. Actually the aforementioned happened with the first track played, a white label remix from a neo-soul diva crooning,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cCrown Royal\u201d<\/a> over a Quentin Harris treatment. To get everyone on the dance floor, Marques followed with another sensually explicit rap tune from Mr. V,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cJus Dance\u201d<\/a> which brought out the freak in some dancing with legs in the air and booty gyrations typical of rap music videos. Next to follow, another Quentin Harris remix, this one from neo-soul new comer Lela James titled,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cMy Joy\u201d<\/a>. Unfortunately, the instrumental was chosen over the vocals to make room for the next song making this the night\u2019s only musical disappointment. Other than that, Marques pulled out a heavy arsenal of tunes that tore up the spacious patio and damaged every dancer. Every uplifting vocal anthem played vibrated underneath the protective canopy that kept the house heads singing with praise. Several classic 90\u2019s house jams danced along current 21st<\/sup> century chart toppers from<\/span><\/strong> Mousse T<\/a> to Sophie Rubina. Additional notables included, Marques\u2019 favorite, Radiohead’s,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cEverything In Its Right Place\u201d<\/a> (Afefe Iku\u00a0Remix), the current chart topping anthem Dennis Ferrer\u2019s,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cHey Hey\u201d<\/a> (Black Coffee Remix) the song that made for perfect sexually suggestively dancing on the elevated platform in the middle of the dance floor with a fellow female dancer, a lively instrumental of Afefe Iku\u2019s classic,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cMirror Dance\u201d<\/a> the Yoruba Soul Remix that caught everyone\u2019s intention including those partying in VIP with its bass dropping tech thumps, last year\u2019s sing-along anthem,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cInto My Life (You Brought The Sunshine)\u201d<\/a> by Elements of Life featuring Lisa Fischer and Cindy Mizelle and of course,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cSuperman\u201d<\/a> by the DJ of the hour Black Coffee. What a highlight to hear the Yoruba Soul classic, Erro\u2019s,<\/span><\/strong> \u201cChange For Me\u201d<\/a> (Joey Negro Mix) that sent the patio into outer space. However, a remix courtesy from Chicago\u2019s own Abicah Soul of<\/span> <\/strong>\u201cCareless Whisper\u201d<\/a> a 1980\u2019s power ballad from a famous pop duo, sent the crowd through the roof. Unfortunately, it would be the final song to end the night against the steady sounds of rain falling from the sky.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Although, heavy rains fell outside, the weather was by no means a reflection of the night. What started out as questionable became an unforgettable night filled with uncompromised quality house music. The atmosphere couldn\u2019t be ruined as Mr. Wyatt used the power of music to heal the scars of the disappointed and effuse joy, hope and love. Those that endured to the end needed no umbrellas because they were covered by the healing power of music, thanks to Marques Wyatt.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
