As mentioned earlier in the week, The Death Set and Team Robespierre brought their new brand of electro-punk and colorful garments to The Downtown Event Center last night. It was an show packed with lots of energy and visual stimuli.

For those of you that haven’t been to Mosaic, it can be a real treat if you are in the mood. The basement bar is like a cave carved into the side of Glenwood South. A Moroccan theme permeates the decor and music and the atmosphere is a nice change of pace from your typical Raleigh night club. Saturday night Mosaic invites you to join its Carnival at 9pm. They invite masks and “flamboyant” dress to decorate the sound of Samba and Afro beats with live drummers and belly dancers. A rich event for sure. Mosaic requires a $5 one-time membership fee.
Remember large gold chains, In Living Color, Reebok Pumps, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the beginning of hip hop music? The transition from the 80s to 90s was a tough one for many, but hip hop was one of the guiding forces that led the way into a new decade. Almost 20 years later this music is still influencing the likes of pop, electro and indie music. From mashups to extreme neon colors, the beats and styles of the late 80s and early 90s are back in fashion. If The Downtown Event Center gets its way, tonight will be a dance filled 90s “House Party” full of Das Efx, early Wu Tang, and who else but Biggie and Tupac. At $50 for the best dressed, the threads should be in full effect. Who want EFX?
