Aight party ppls, we have a special one coming up at ye olde House of Yesssh. Vitamin B has their regular monthly first fridaze thang, serving up some tasty beats and pieces for more then a minute now, with all star residents Tektike, Tim the Enchanter, Barney Iller and Cecil Grey. Mofos will rock you like a hurricane.
Last year they invited No Parking to do a voltron-like party collabo which was off the chain ala hellraiser (literally, we ripped people apart by chains, dancefloor was a bloody mess). Folks like the one Munchi, Jay Zotos and my man Still Life all threw down. While No Parking has been on a slight hiatus, we've decided to team up again and mix and match styles into the early morn, with 8 strictly professional selectahs providing entertainment in the 5th dimension. (you need to bring your own '5D glasses' tho wink wink) All the Vitamin B regulars are in effect with nyc staples Duane, DJ Fucci, Michna aka DJ Egg Foo Young and No Parking mofo $mall ¢hange. Tickets will be issued to ppl standing around on the dancefloor. Don't let our sexy cops fool you...these tough bitches will pepper spray your balls faster then you can say #OWS.
Also don't forget our 'hoopy happy hour' with cheeeeap drinks til 11:30 and half price off for folks bringing flow friendly toys (hoops, poi, staff, halbred, juggling chainsaws). Plus visuals, cuddle area, cheap drinks, usual shizz...

Hey, Tektite here. This month Tim the Enchanter let me take over the write-up and indulge in my personal obsession. In honor of April, the best month of the NYC year, and also the time when cherry blossoms are in bloom, Vitamin B is going Japanese (again) with The Sakura Sessions.
But it doesn’t stop there folks, we also have the dancefloor-slayer and friend to all living creatures great and small, Lee Mayjahs?, on loan from PEX in Brooklyn for one night to celebrate his birthday!
Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, our own resident beat slinger Tim the Enchanter will be releasing his new mix CD, Face Down, the second edition of the Vitamin B CD series. Grab a free copy at the door! With a name like Face Down, I have a feeling it’s gonna be filthy.
As always Vitamin B weighs in at a wallet friendly $10 all night! Join us for top shelf chilled sake, Japanese cocktails and snacks all night. As always hoopy hour till 11:30 (half off drinks with hoop).

With releases on high profile record labels such as Hardcore Beats, Broke, Electrofly, Bombtraxx and Kick It, New York City based Wavewhore has established himself as one of the USA’s leading breakbeat producers.

He began his career as a guitarist performing in clubs while he was still in high school and his first electronic release dates back to 1992.

Like the idea of tsunamis but not the reality? Feeling guilty cause you never actually donated to the relief effort in Japan?
We've got your party right here.
Vitamin B Presents: Your Tsunami Can Suck It, A Benefit For Japan Part 2 of the Disorient DJ Takeover Series
We'll be transforming the House of Yes into an exotic far-Eastern realm of writhing bodies and pulsing beats using nothing but a quality sound system and great DJs (and maybe some theme appropriate shapes cutout of construction paper if we get around to it, but I wouldn't hold my breath). 100% of the profits from this party will go to the Red Cross, which is currently directing the lion's share of its new donations towards the Japan tsunami victims' relief effort. Not "a portion." All of it. Cause we do this for the love, not the money.
