A repost of Tyler Blue's review of DJ?'s last performance:
"Mike McHugh,aka DJ,brought together a dynamic group of musicians on Friday night at Velvet Jones. It was over four hours of seamless grooves with DJ laying down thick beats, underneath fluidly angular guitar licks. They traversed through zones of hip hop, afro beat and funk. The talented guests included three MCs (Playbac stood out the most), an African singer and talking drum player. Dave Brogan played the kit most of the night and it was awesome to see him in a different space. Hip hop with live musicians and the ripping guitar was a treat. Velvet Jones is a great place when it's not too crowded. There was a woman (didn't catch her name) painting a day-glo piece onstage through the show. Glad to feel the good sense of community amongst local musicians."
