AUSTIN, TEXAS TOUR REVIEW

To Kick of the 2007 ArtChick Female DJ Tour ,we made our way down to Austin Tx for an event called Redezvous , created by BuckleUp Entertainment.This is how BuckleUp Entertainment describes itself:

The place, Karma Lounge 119 w 8th street .Karma is a large space all black highlighted with very sexy subtle red tones. Waveform added a very impressive special effects and laser light show featuring an all female DJ line up:

-Snow White (Trance and House ) of Dallas
-JayNicole (Breaks) of Austin
-Sarah Styles (Breaks) of Austin

Austin is the home of the state capital and the home of the Texas long horns of the University of Texas. Austin is known as a hippie town and for it’s off beat ways. The underground Rave craze hit its zenith here in the late 1990’s and still inspires much of the club life around town.

The event was billed as a pajama party and about ½ the party goers participated. The 5 Texas Divas started off around 10pm and played until sometime around 5am. The Ladies came at you full force from the very first minute. The freaky cold didn’t dampen the intensity on this night, nor did the freezing rain stop some very enthusiastic party goers from filling the place. Although the party didn’t really get going till 12:30, I was surprised to see so many early birds arrive to the party before 10 and stay till well after 4am. The Rave inspired styles of the DJ were generally more rock based than their east cost counterparts who often have more soulful inspired interpretations of house music. Party goes jammed the space in front of the DJ booth cheering on their favorite DJ’s. 2007 ArtChick Female DJ Tour was very inspired and this party and it puts BuckleUp Entertainment in the fore front and the leader of the Austin party scene. The 2007 ArtChick Female DJ Tour will defiantly be back to Austin.
