9/20: The Prince & Michael Experience dance party w DJ Dave Paul returns to Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach. Good music + good people = Good Fun!

Saint Rocke is located at 142 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. Party starts at 8pm, $10-$20, 21+

The Prince and MJ Experience is a dance party & gathering of Prince and Michael Jackson fans with DJ Dave Paul from San Francisco spinning album cuts, b-sides, un-released tracks, remixes, 12" versions and the hits from the two artists as well as select songs by ancillary acts, artists that inspired them, contemporaries and the world of artists that they influenced.

Collectively, Prince and Michael Jackson helped define the early-'80s era of MTV, revolutionized both R&B and popular music, and influenced thousands of musicians worldwide. This party pays tribute to two of the greatest artists of our time. The music is far from the only thing happening at this party, there's theme dancing, a face-off between guests repping The Purple One or The King of Pop, and much, much more. This is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, dance and have the time of your life.

"For TWENTY ONE years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikki's and Dirty Diana's are all welcome to participate." - SF Weekly

ABOUT YOUR DJ:
For over 20 years, DJ Dave Paul has been an integral part of hip-hop and DJ culture. In the early 90s, he launched the now legendary publication, The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine, and in 1995, Paul transformed the magazine into a record label. The company was named "one of the fifteen independent labels that matter," according to Rolling Stone, and the label's Return of the DJ series was ranked by Spin Magazine as #25 in their "The 90 Greatest Albums of the 90's" (Sept. 1999 issue), receiving a higher rating than Gold & Platinum albums by Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Green Day, and Fatboy Slim. Dave Paul has appeared on the front cover of Billboard magazine and is featured in the motion picture Scratch. Mr. Paul has DJ'ed throughout the US, toured Europe, released over 100 projects on his record label, and currently produces theme parties, including The Prince and Michael Experience.

Disclaimer: None of the artists whose music we play are involved with this party. This is a fan-based DJ event. Don't be silly, none of the artists (living or dead) will be making an appearance. Enjoy the music, have fun and be kind.
