 I want to start out with an apologies to General Motors, I was a little late to the show because the "disco nap" I took was just a little to powerful. ba ha

On to the night! After making my mad dash to Redzone, I was greeted with an ear full about how good General Motors set was.  Which is impressive as it was her first time playing out. Mad Props.

 The evening continued with Moody Moore, (General Motors mother)... nope you did not miss read that. My immediate reaction was A) THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME! Followed up by I totally want to be that style of parent. Moody Moore's set started out on a Jazzy almost Intelligent Jungle note progressing into a harder, darker Drum & Bass sound by the end of her set. Often times making it hard to choose between shooting photos or dancing my ass off.

 Joanna O... I'm just going to let that name float out there for a second. Much like her music it makes you take a step back, breathe, and roll into a Jazzy almost lounge set. I adore her track selection because just as your have settled into a rolling groove Joanna O takes your on a music Drum & Bass journey. Respect to Joanna and the Richmond scene.

 Jungle Jessi. The queen of the night, rounding out the final hours of Transit with what seemed like boundless energy. I first saw Jungle Jessi open up for Aphrodite almost a year or two ago. At the time I was spell bounded by her selections and tonight's set did not disappoint. Each DJ bears a little bit of their soul when they play music for others, and this was a exploration in the Drum & Bass sound strung together by with a heavy groove.

Keep Smiling.
