by Brent Crampton ~ photo by Jerome Montalto ~ Garrick Michael is the man behind the scenes of Nebraska's top electronic club, Bricktop. Holding a residency and managing the bookings at Bricktop, Garrick is very familiar with the crowd that frequents the hard-wood dance floor. Garrick has been a staple to the Nebraska scene for years having played at Club Joy during the notorious Blue Production events, Bar 415, Velvet Lounge, Shark Club and Bada Bings to name a few. When Garrick finds a track he likes, he's rather secretive about letting other people know what he's bumpin', but I've talked him into giving phocas an exclusive look at what he's moving the dance floors with at the moment.

Jurgen Vries-The Theme :: (trance) Ultimate end of the night track.

Ferry Corsten- Rock Your Body Rock :: (trance) If you don't know this track by now, hand me your headphones, you are no longer a dj.

Paul Van Dyk featuring Vega 4-Time of Our Lives (PVD club mix) :: (trance) Great track, great male vocal.
Chemical Brothers-Get Yourself High :: (breakbeat) hip-hop vocal over dirty breakz. Bass line gets dark and, for a lack of a better term, farty. You will like!

Utah Saints-Power to the Beats :: (breakbeat) Chuck D on vocals. Uses rock riffs throughout.

Agnelli & Nelson-Holding onto Nothing :: (trance) Great female vocal. Driving trance at its best. Everything Agnelli & Nelson doing is good. Scratch that, Platinum!

Way Out West-MuthaFu**a (Mix 1) :: (progressive trance) Unlike anything Way Out West has done before. Pitched up a bit this is a high energy end of the night track.

Plummet-Cherish the Day (Antillas Remix) :: (trance-breaks) Starts out breaks, moves to trance, back and forth till the end. Great builds, great female vocal.

Iio-Smooth (Airbase Remix) :: (progressive trance) Remember Rapture, remember At the End? More great trance by Iio. Quick tid bit. Iio was originally named Vaio since they created all their music on a Sony Vaio laptop. Sony sent a cease and desist letter so they changed their name.

BQQ-Cold as Ice :: (hard house) Vocal from Foreigner. Everyone knows the original so it is always a crowd pleaser.

running through color

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
