by

flyer artwork by Chrissy Laing - Kansas City, MO - July 14, 2006 - phocas.net in cooperation with Disco Productions, will begin the first in a series of dance music concert events at The Grand Emporium in Kansas City, MO featuring some of the best in world-class and internationally recognized talent from across the country and around the globe.

The first in the series will feature internationally renowned DJ, Producer & Recording Artist, Nigel Richards and future talent will be announced at each show. Don't miss out!

It has been two years since Nigel Richards has played in Kansas City at Chaos Theory v2.0, when he turned the main dance floor inside out for more than a thousand who just could not keep from dancing to his skils on the decks.

A unique performer and very personable guy, Nigel's career in the dance world spans nearly 20 years and includes heading up an internationally recognized record label (611 Records), 40+ records, 3 mixed cd’s and a whole lot of globetrotting! Needless to say, all of this has made Nigel a wanted man around the world and this experience shines through at every performance, as he rocks crowds with new sounds while keeping the masses comfortable.

For more information about Nigel Richards, visit his web site for more information! There's all kinds of goodies in there and to make surfing easier... here's a couple of the high points!

Kicking the night of at 10 pm, will be the newly reunited Tactic [Ben Fuller & DJ Candlewax (Flea Market / Heavy Lounge)]. These two are definitely one of Kansas City's hottest duos, previously featured "on decks" in August 2005 issue of phocas.net and featured again in this month. The last time I saw them together, they had a full Kabal dance floor shakin it! It will be good to have them back together! For more information about Tactic, visit this month's "on decks"!



 Recognizable as Kansas City's most important landmarks of music, it's history goes back as far as most people in Kansas City can remember. Over this time, it has always maintained a solid reputation for showcasing some of the best talent seen in the music industry across nearly every genre. It has only been in the last year, after a complete remodeling, that Dance Music stepped up to the plate at The Grand Emporium, easily complimenting it's already diverse lineup. With good sound, a clean sleek appearance, as well as a bar and lounge area that are out of the way of the dance floor, this is the kind of evolution that has allowed The Grand Emporium to be passed from one generation of dancers to another. Whether it be Blues, Soul or Dance, it has always been the place to get your groove on. More information about the Grand Emporium can be found at their website, kcClubs.com.

Spring is here and the world is emerging from it's winter slumber. Not only will the temperatures start to heat up, but so will the activity in the electronic music community. Fresh music from artists that were waiting to drop the new hotness at WMC will be out and ready for mass consumption. Dance floors are hungry for the latest tracks to fuel the frenzied masses of clubbers and party patrons. Soon enough the outdoor festival season will be upon us.

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

d returns to the jam

  The Saturday Open Jam has been missing from our agenda for quite some time now.  It is one the best ways to burn up a Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, listening to some of the best rock and blues musician in town.  This particular occasion featured the return of a longtime resident of the event who had been off the roster for more than year following multiple personal crises, one of which nearly ended his ability to perform at all.  Taking his spot behind the drums once again for a couple of tunes, "D" picked up right where he left off, keeping cadence as if nothing had ever happened.  There were tears among some of the crowd that were closer to him, understanding the extent of his dilemma.  After playing, he admitted stumbling a few times, but everything sounded great from our side of the stage and we look forward to seeing him play again more often.
