Tommy Boy Party - CroBar - Victor Calderone, Jocelyn Enriquez, Deborah Cooper
After hearing David Knapp spin a wonderful tea dance set at Amnesia, we headed down to Cro Bar to catch the Tommy Boy party. A very professional and courteous door staff let us enter with our conference passes (unlike the Subliminal and Strictly Rhythm parties who required an additional $20). On a Sunday night, the place was packed - with lots of beautiful people having a wonderful time.

Victor Calderone spun a very hard house set and for the first time I understood it. Being a primarily trance/NRG dj, I don't play this style and don't get these kind of records. Hearing Victor Calderone work the crowd in a frenzy and even throw in the occasional vocal (yes he played Lulu "Hurt Me So Bad") got me into this agressive hard house music |

Hostess Kitty Meow (love the hair) introduced Jocelyn Enriquez. |
Jocelyn Enriquez sang her new song "When I Get Close to You" which was produced by the Thunderpuss boys. She has transcended the freestyle genre and gave the crowd a performance that proved she was not just another track act. Dancing, singing - she would be a great singer to book in any club around the country.

Later on - Miss Deborah Cooper entered the stage - coming down the long staircase, working every step. The voice behind Clivilles & Cole's "Pride (A Deeper Love)," Deborah belted out "Do It Properly." She felt the crowd and they loved her - pulling people on the stage to dance with her.. |
