L.A. all day!
OK, if you were anywhere near Crash Mansion for the Metromix launch party last night, there's a good chance that you're either hungover or still drunk. From the looks of things on the dance floor, lots of you are waking up with new "friends" this morning as well. Perhaps all of that dancing and romancing has made you hungry for brunch? All I know is that last night's party was epic, in particular thanks to international DJ pimp Diplo (pictured) who absolutely tore it down on the turntables in a spiffy Morbid Angel t-shirt completely surrounded by L.A. party people. DJ Squeak E Clean flipped Queen’s “Flash Gordon” theme, and new-school L.A. rap crew 87 Stick Up Kids rocked it like the best episode of "Yo! MTV Raps!" ever. We'll be telling you more about that posse in the near future, so stay tuned.
Our favorite moment of the night? At the end of the party, a bunch of L.A. nightlife celebs were just kicking it onstage. Among the scrum were both Steve Aoki and Franki Chan. OK, they weren’t exactly hanging out or anything, but it was nice to see them both in such close proximity so peacefully. Metromix is bringing people together, y’all!
