Nocturnal Sound
swings into actionTHE WORLD famous Nocturnal Sound Krew have got a couple of new parties worth checking out this summer -- one is a weekly on Friday nights, the other a monthly that gets its start on Saturday.
You know how there have been events lately that pair DJs in the mix with other forms of artwork? Spoken word, photography and even graffitti are a few that immediately come to mind. Tomorrow night, the Krew teams up with the Architechs to bring you "Laced Up," a hip-hop lifestyle event that focuses on the shoes people wear. Giveaways from Kicks are planned, and DJs Compose, Delve.oneder and Jami will be on the wheels until 2 a.m.
On Saturday the spot is Indigo when "Soul Kitchen" makes its debut for the 21-and-over crowd. Every third Saturday of the month DJs Eskae and Prynces Leya join Jami and Compose in the Opium Den, while DJs Seeko and Taharba hold it down in the Green Room.
