I would kill just to go to one party back then. The music was crazy and unique, the DJs spun ONLY vinyl, and the environment was a lot different from today.
I was there. Great party.

There was a Shark Club in Costa Mesa that Taylor used to play at a lot. Is this the same one?
This was the Shark Club in downtown L.A. Quite a few events happened there. If I remember correctly, Family Groove used to be there as well.
Funny story… I was watching the movie Deep Cover (with Laurence Fishburn), there’s this bathroom scene, and I immediately recognized the bathroom. From the Shark Club.
Wow. It’s all a blur. What weekly venues were at it? Or weekends? I remember other weeklies like Happy Wednesdays, More and Truth.
Very greatful and blessed to have witnessed it live. no camera but i can still remember it clearly… Thank you soooooo much Love and Respects.
