Whenever I come to 1015, there are things I can expect and many things that are unique with every event that they throw. The latest Get Freaky party was definitely no exception, blowing all expectations out of the water. The first thing I noticed about the main room was the towering pyramid-like video mapped stage design that put the DJs on the opposite side of the room from the regular DJ booth. The next thing that struck both my eyes and ears were the brand new massive speakers that hung from all four corners of the room. It’s no secret that 1015 had been having some problems with their sound in the past. At one event Griz even vowed never to come back because of the bad experience he had with the sound in the main room. Finally, everyone’s prayers were answered and the sound gods themselves delivered some stacks which poured out crisp waves of music.

We arrived a tad late to this one, but early enough to still catch a solid chunk of An-Ten-Nae’s set. He always brings the heat with that signature acid crunk style, one of my absolute favorite forms of electronic music. Super funky, super melodic but also undeniably crunked out, Adam’s set had us all getting down like our lives depended on it. It was a bit before midnight and the dance floor was already insanely crowded. It seemed like half of the Bay Area had squeezed in to come and see PANTyRAiD, the celebrities for the night. These guys don’t come through town often, so it’s really no surprise that 1015 was about as packed to the gills as it gets.

As PANTyRAiD graced the stage, some go-go dancers followed and took residence flanking the duo. These girls really knew how to get the party going, dancing around with crazy signs with phrases like “BOOTYTIME”, and eventually tossing out a ton of inflatable dice. At one point there had to have been ten or so of these air filled game pieces fit for a giant’s monopoly game. Because this was the beginning of a tour which dished out mostly new material off of an unreleased sophomore album, I didn’t recognize any of the material that was coming at us. I enjoyed that, a lot. It’s all too often that I hear a load of the same songs being played, sometimes in the same night by different artists. This truly was a “raid” as Ooah and Marty Party call their shows; every minute things just got weirder and had even more high energy. They threw hundreds of fake PANTyRAiD hundred dollar bills out over the crowd when they played “Get the Money.” I saw a pretty good amount of girls panties being thrown on stage to really complete the experience. I got to enjoy most of the show from above on the balcony; the packed floor got the best of me and I was glad to have some space and a solid view of all the action.

At multiple points in the night a group consensus was reached that the DJs in the front room were playing some of the most enjoyable music of the night. It’s easy to get overshadowed by big names, but I love to give everyone a little by of ear time – you just never know what you might hear. Jocelyn, who helped produce the party, played a fantastic set while her own personal go-go’s brought the goddess energy up a notch. I enjoyed kicking back behind the DJ booth in the little lounge they have and enjoying it all from a different vantage point. There was also a table in this room which sold some pretty sweet PANTyRAiD merchandise.

I had been pretty interested in catching ETC!ETC!’s set because I had never even heard the name until this night. Generally anyone under the Muti Music label is right up my alley. I ended up  being a bit too distracted in the upstairs and front rooms to hear any of his set but my buddy Dustin was able to get on stage to snap a few shots of him. Earlier in the night the 1015 staff had played the too-cool-for-school game and told us we couldn’t go on stage while PANTyRAiD played.

The bottom room was transformed into a super plush and inviting cuddle-puddle environment called the serpent’s lair. We first came upon it while looking for our group of friends and thought, “This place is way too chilled out to house our people right now; they’re all on a one way train to rage town.” I could have easily gotten lost in that pile of bodies and memory foam, pawing at twinkling stars, but alas the dance floor called out to me once again. This funky spot was just one more thing that made me feel like I was in a little one night music festival.
