DJ Mel back at Rock Box with Envy Magazine

Thanksgiving in America? Hmm, from my view, it's just another holiday. One day designated to give thanks, when i'm rather thankful everyday. Many will debate and argue about the whole meaning behind Thanksgiving and what really went down back in the day. Indians, Pilgrims, turkey, pumpkin pie! I guess were all just conditioned by tradition to take part in the holidays with are families and close ones. Sometimes being around close ones isn't all to fun and sometimes it is. Hope you had a good one!



Doors opened at 10pm and people gradually moved in hittin' up those $2 wells from 10pm-12am! Stiletto warmed up the night from 10pm-11pm with her opening set. Then my man JD took over from 11pm-12:30. JD had people on the edge to start dancing by 11:30, as people were still making there way in. By midnight, with 150 head count at the door, it seemed like a chain reaction with heads packing the dance floor and the place was looking full. Smoke filled the Proletariat like normal but it wasn't enough to stop people from thrusting dem' pelvics. Enjoy smoking inside of bars while you can because it's looking like it's going to change at the beginning of the year.

Mel jumped on the wheels at 12.30am with Riko Trill as the guest m.c. and it was time to act BAD. Hot music, flawless mixing and straight clowning. The combination was on point. It got real krunk when he dropped that "Kryptonite" joint. HEATER! Mel just knows what to play and brings the best out of the people.

Horn sounds!!!! Errr Errrrrrrr

DJ WhatNow? gettin' down, (NO Nerd) look close Ish straight thrustin'

It was game over when he dropped AC/DC and Rico announced that "it's turning into a stripper club in here!" This man had me laughing everytime shit came out of his mouth. From calling people out to girls dancing with each other, to stripper squatters, and emo kids. Shit was hella' funny! The selection of tunes was so right it was like people caught the holy ghost and couldn't resist to "get down on the flo" like David Banner! Pelvic Action was in effect, serious.

Trill ASS Rico

BOOM BOOM!

DJ Paramour workin' it

Rock Box on Thanksgiving shiiiiiiii........everbody and they mama would be back in H-town to hang with the fam. So why not do it right? And who else can rock the party like Austin's own DJ Mel? Mels' first appearance at Rock Box was back in May 05, where my main goal was to introduce him to a dancing crowd that was ready to party and appreciate a dj that takes his work serious. This was pt.II. Everytime that I've seen him live, it's on, plain and simple. He knows how to control a crowd, he mixes, he cuts, he backspins, lets just say he'll take you on a journey with skills that a lot of new dj's don't have; fundamentals mayne'! Mel and JD have a history of playing together at Nasty' back in Austin so it was only right to have them on the same bill. There's so much I could say about JD, lets just say he's been around for a hot minute and knows what he's doing. Be on the look out for a mix tape with him and DJ Ayers (The Rub) coming out real soon reppin' that dirty dirty!

Over all the party was off the meter! It was good to see everyone make it out and throw down! This entire week starting Wednesday, Houston was on BLAST! Thanks again to DJ Mel, JD, Stiletto, 7000ft, Fredster, Dan Castillio, Leah @ Envy Mag, Riko Trill, Matt So Real, Lil Tiger, NaNaChill Black Mamba, Red Bull and everybody else that came out! Til' next time.
