In Bass We Trust: 10/9 - Kevin Hedge & Little Louie Vege @ Cielo, NYC

Our favorite Wednesday night soulful rare groove dance party returned once again to NYC! After a four-month hiatus (summer vacation!), Keven Hedge and Little Louie Vega brought the infamously amazing 'Roots Party' back to Cielo, NYC. The event was billed as a ‘Libra Celebration’ and as this author is a Libra, there was noway we’d miss stopping by this midweek throw-down. Entrance, while worth the $20 late night fare, to the event is typically FREE until 11. Better still, the vodka bar is wide open until 11. Free entry....free vodka....Kevin and Louie...Cielo....no brainer. Perhaps that explains the lengthy entry cue at 10 o’clock.The soulful sounds of the the NYC underground and eras gone by were on tap all night long. Huge tracks blowing up the dance floor included Africa (Digitaline), 'Touched the Sky' (Dennis Ferrer), and 'Turn Me On' (Black Coffee). Several of Louie’s mixes permeated throughout the night, including two mixes of his take on 'Never' by Ralf Grum. We’ll certainly be heading back in a few weeks when Little Louie takes the decks for the entire night on October 23.
