Sandbar Final Friday the Last Corona in a Can and DJ Toro's Birthday



Though we have never been a fan or Sandbar ,with it's crazy parking, at times slightly overboard security and cold corona in a can ,we couldn't miss the Friday night grand finale with the team of DJ Toro and MC Len.After all Sandbar was a unique location with a large out door space on the water looking at the backdrop of the New York City Skyline and two very large indoor though a bit light on the AC dance floors.

We have been following this team since the old Wednesday and Saturday parties at Taste lounge in Bloomfield ,both for NJ Venues and ArtChickphotos. At this point they operate like a well oiled machine with out the staleness of some of the more over rehearsed duo's . The continued give and take between the two and their audience is masterful. There is always a freshness and with DJ Toro continuing to improve with each set spinning a mix that attracts both a serious Hip Hop crowd and a lighter more commercial crowd that's spans musical genres while leaving the "lame wedding DJing " for someone else.

There is something about the energy they put out that can bring out the best in even the most hardened club goer. So after a great night we took a break and ordered one last corona in can just to make sure it was as bad as it had always seemed and yes like everything else about Sandbar our last cold one lived up to even our most discriminating expectations.

NATURE UNLEASHED HAIR and MAKEUP RUNWAY SHOW


ArtChick spand the week at Surf Club and she leftme to handle North Jersey and New York City .So Saturday night I ended up at Bliss for the Nature Unleashed Hair and MakeUp Show hosted by Kristina Marie & Panache Salon with DJ's Chris Backman ,DJ Toro & Paul Patrick.

Proceeds were donated to the reasearch for the Ovarian Cancer Fund and the Music ranged form Hip Hop ,Commercial Housetoo Mash Ups.

DJ Toro who has become a local favorite in North Jersey weilding a particular brand of Hard Hip Hop .Earning his stripes as a member of the DJ Kings.DJ Toro is often affectionately refered to as the "House Musics " crowds favorite Hip Hop DJ.

Many who follow my ramblings from time to time know that DJ Chris Backmen is one of my favorite Mash Up DJ's. Chris seems to have an acute awareness of the needsand musical taste of the 30 somthing crowd without coming across like a typical wedding DJ.

Adding to the mix is the talented Paul Patrick spinning deep Comercial House always keeping things interesting yet comfotable for relative non House belivers .

The event was hosted by Kristina Marie and the Panache Salon with a colorfull and dramatic fashion show showing of the hair and makeup designs of Panache Salon. The fashion show was not only unique but was well organised and timely,with designs ranging from kinky to avangarde.
