SUBMIT to the BEAT @ New Years SLEAZE



After a bit of a hiatus, we're set to return to where we started - New Years Eve - in a dark intimate all encompassing womb filled with kindred spirits who share a passion for music, harmony,  freedom and most of all - love.


We've had the opportunity to  share this passion for 9 years, providing Dallas a (much needed) space for the freedom to express unfiltered support  for underground dance music based upon the ethos of the spirit of the dance floors of the past, updated for the 21st century.

We are feeling extremely excited about this particular event because we are presenting it outside the reach of the standard "glossed over" NYE events where the music and vibe are a literal "prop" to the festivities.

Please, try to arrive early because, 1.) it's New Years Eve and 2.), it's New Years Eve and there is NO COVER.  And if you plan on drinking, please drink and act responsibly and plan on using Uber, Lfyt or having a designated driver transport you home(or to the after party).

There is NO DRESS CODE, so come dressed as stylish, as provocative, as sexy, as quirky, as wildly or as conservatively as your little heart desires, but it IS New Years Eve and we are washing away the negativity and stress from the past year and welcoming the joy and happiness that the new year beckons for us - so please make an effort - it is New Year SLEAZE.



And to wind things up, let's make this event about DANCING and try to keep the cellphone activity to a (extreme) minimum.  We are cognizant that we live in the age of "social media" and instant connectivity but let's make a connection on the dance floor between the dancer and the deejays.  

There isn't anything going on comparable locally, so let us cherish and relish our unique vibe.



And last but not least, PLEASE, leave any and all NEGATIVITY at the door - it will NOT - I repeat - WILL NOT BE TOLERATED - as mentioned before, we will be in CELEBRATION - the only thing we ask of you is for you to SUBMIT TO THE BEAT.

Local Jocks Spark A Return to the Roots of Underground Dance Music Culture in Dallas.

Ricky Simpson, Gavin Guthrie aka TX Connect and Mr. Daishiki Jones 
BENDING and breaking, re-conceptualizing, remolding   and rebuilding upon pre-conceived notion of how underground dance music  is defined,  while staying true and focused to the universal  ethos of dance floor harmony since 2010, we are continuing our journey in 2016, dedicated to preserving the culture with our special blend of House, Techno and Disco.

"Back in 2009, as the new year was fast approaching, I was wondering about what was going on on New Year's Eve and I was shocked that there were zero — yes, zero — house or techno-themed events planned for Dallas..."
- Mr Daishiki Jones  

Holding court every 3rd Saturday, at our current home at The Crown & Harp in Dallas for the past year,  we've  slowly but surely,  creating a organic and holistic environment for the music and culture unique to Dallas and the metroplex - there's nothing quite like it in the entire state of Texas.

Our current roster are avid collectors, talented producer, promoters, deejays  who are extremely passionate about preserving  the music and culture along with  it's  history by  building upon it's legacy - always moving forward, while acknowledging the importance of the traditions which were the blueprints and foundation for the culture.

Both Ricky Simpson and Mr. Daishiki Jones have been a  integral part of helping to shape the local underground dance music landscape for the past 20+ years and  newest member, Gavin Guthrie is Dallas' "wunderkind" who is taking the world by storm with his highly regarded releases on acclaimed labels such as L.I.E.S. and Creme Organization and his new label, T.R.U.(Texas Recordings Underground), under his guise as TX Connect.


For your listening enjoyment, here are mixes and interviews in the DALLAS OBSERVER featuring our resident manipulators of the groove.

Join us for our next excursion Saturday May 21st at The Crown and Harp.  21+.  No Cover.

Special guest NEKSTONE at the Absinthe Lounge Saturday July 9th



In case you've been hiding in a bomb shelter awaiting the apocolypse, you've probably noticed that Dallas temperatures have been sweltering lately. Most people would ascribe "global warming" or "greenhouse gases" or something to that effect. But recently conducted surveys and studies by these very same scientists have concluded that the friction created by the frenzied dancing at DISCO'S REVENGE is the proximate cause to strange weather phenomenon such as the polar ice caps melting...


With that being said, we are going to attempt to go one further and cause the nightlife in the metroplex to explode into so many subatomic particles with our special guest, NEKSTONE. Brandon Ayala(Nekstone) has been a fixture on the underground scene in El Paso and Dallas for a number of years, playing host to his acclaimed event, "The Get Right" and djing alongside diverse artists such as Lee Foss, DJ Heather, M3, Brett Johnson, DJ Cocoe and JT Donaldson just to name a few.

SERIOUSLY....you don't want to miss this...
