DJ Birdflu took the liberty of hooking up a cassette tape deck in the Charleston Fashion Week “Style Lounge” and recording a portion of his set that set the tone for the rest of fashion week. (For those young readers of the blog who have not seen a cassette tape here’s what one is.) I was very excited that Birdflu asked me to put this up on the Stone Groove Podcast. He did an awesome set for the whole time he was in the style lounge. Anyway, I did not do anything to the audio except take it straight from the tape to .mp3. So you will hear some tape crackle and noise, but that just adds to the authenticity of a real vinyl DJ like Birdflu.

On the first Saturday of every month for the last year, Charleston’s only video turntablist crew “The Spaced Invaders” has broken out some big toys to draw crowds to their monthly party, “The Stone Groove.” Setting up 15 foot projection screens and massive sound systems powered by turntable controlled laptops has drawn both good and bad attention to the party, easily visible (and audible) from Folly Road.
With the new positive energy flowing through the country, they’ve decided for 2009 its time to use their fan base and unique geek-chic style to benefit a different charity every month – beginning this month with The Trident Area Shaw Unit Boys & Girls Club of America, who has been receiving a lack of funds do to the current financial state of the economy.
Attendees are treated to something very special, a wild visual display of classic music videos, remixed and scratched movies with just plain silly antics combined with the 60’s and 70’s soul songs that were used to create the 90’s hip hop sound that is so rarely heard today. “I looked up to see 50 people staring at the huge screen, nodding their heads with the music” states VJ Scrunchyface Flatbroke, one of the Spaced Invaders. “It was the same mesmerizing look you see when you put a toddler in front of a TV!”
“The Stone Groove party at the Daily Dose is like partying with your closest friends in another friends’ back yard…Just with giant video screens and some good mood food,” says, VJ Sonar, another member of the Spaced Invaders. “Now teaming up with local charities, we have something people can look forward to going to, have a good time, and feel good about giving back to the community. It’s really a party with a purpose.”

The upcoming Stone Groove event will donate all the door proceeds to the local Boys and Girls Club on 22 Mary Street. It was announced that the chapter was having some very rough times financing the operation and asked the community to help. Well, the Spaced Invaders heard this and decided to turn the Stone Groove into a charity “Funkraiser” for the Boys and Girls Club. It’s just $5 at the door and you can shake your butt to some good tunes, enjoy some good mood food, and go home feeling good about yourself because you helped keep kids in a good after school program instead of out in the streets.
Party is going on at the Daily Dose off of Folly Road. Just look for the giant video screens from the road and you’ll be in the right place. The flyer says from 9pm-12am but the party usually goes on for longer than that.
