LIQUID: Down a SoBe Memory Lane

!New Liquid in Tampa!
Let's Take It Back to South Beach's Golden Era

written by: South Beach Legend - Dj Power Infiniti

For those of you who believe that Liquid Tampa is the start of The Liquid phenomenon...Here's Education 101 on the ORIGINAL, THE LEGENDARY, The NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER....LIQUID Miami beach! (not at all affiliated with Liquid Lounge) Liquid in Miami, was one of my residencies. I had Salvation Saturday night, and Liquid Sundays, which was the place to be each and every Sunday for years! Chris Paciello, the hot bad boy of an owner, was a musical talent, in terms of picking great talent and introducing them to the world. Had it not been for Liquid, we would probably not have been able to experience the talents of Tracy Young, Victor Calderone, James Anderson, Razor and Guido, Escape, Junior Vasquez, who played probably the best set I HAVE EVER heard and has not been topped since, and artists such as Michael T. Diamond. They gave Tracy and Victor their big break, by using their friendship with Madonna, to get them both remixes for her albums, which truly launched both their careers. Ingrid Casares was Madonnas gal-pal, and one of her closest gal confidants, and handsome bad boy Chris Paciello was a beautiful danger, who touted beautiful celebs on his arms and whose temper led him to go from beautiful to dangerous if he was crossed. Liquid, because of the celebrity status of Ingrid and Chris Paciello, immediately attracted big stars, like Madonna, Puff Daddy, Cher, Queen Latifah, and Russel Simmons. Part of the appeal was going into Liquid and not knowing what celebrity you were going to catch a glimpse of sitting in V.I.P. I was friends with Gloria Estefan's son, who we affectionately called 'monkey', who introduced me to Mariah Carey. I shook her hand, and though not a big Mariah fan, it was just indicative of the fact that the star community looked at Liquid as their hangout spot. So you partied with celebs almost every night, which also meant you partied with paparazzi, and cameras...

Top 10: October 2011

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

On the menu: all sorts of pop!

10. "Nuclear Seasons" by Charli XCX
Atmospheric electro pop with female vocals always makes the cut!


9. "A Real Hero" (Paul Remix) by College ft. Electric Youth


8. "Garden" (Joe Goddard Remix) by Totoally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Anything with Hop Chip blood is IN.


7. "Eyes" (Extended Mix) by Kaskade ft. Mindy Gledhill
Absolutely beautiful! One of the most beautiful by Kaskade in a while. This is great to listen to while coming down.........!


6. "Seconds" (Syd The Kyd Remix) by Little Dragon
The love affair between Little Dragon and Syd The Kyd have me in complete bliss. This is the best lo fi beat I've found in a very long time.


5. "Last Night" by Niki and the Dove
THANKS to my partner in crime MikeeGB, for discovering and relaying this fantastic entity, a la Knife vs. Iamamiwhoami vs. Bjork. This is my favorite song in their continuous melodic album: The Drummer. It's a must have.
Please visit their site and support!


4. "Weekend" by Class Actress
This bitch, Elizabeth Harper, from Brooklyn, puts me through it. This is the second single in a top 10 this year. Album of the year? Make sure to check out their album, Rapprocher, definitely embedded in contemporary pop.


3. "The Look" by Metronomy
The sounds are so fragile "it's like having a party in an antique shop!" theneedledrop.com


2. "How It Ended" by The Drums
Check my twitter in about 24 hours. I will be listening to The Drums LIVE in Manhattan. When they play this song, I will scream and jump twice. In an attempt to make you fall in love with them instantly, they already had me at their previous album.


1. "We Found Love" by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris
It's very rare that a video and a song have a deep impression on me simultaneously. This entire production raped me.
