DJ LINA ENDS TWIRLINA ON FIRE ISLAND – THE EXIT INTERVIEW

by BRIAN MILLS on | No Comments

DJ Lina of Fire Island’s Twirlina revealed that the 2015 season would be her last as she’s moving on to a new chapter in her life. I sat down with Lina to reflect on her amazing run in the Pines and to find out what she’s going to do next. Lina’s vibe electric and love filled parties have been a savior to the Pines through some of the most turbulent times helping maintain the scene like a griffin through both devastating fires and political gaffes by some of the nightlife property owners.

Frankie Knuckles showed me that a dance floor can be transcendent, that there’s real drama in extending and rearranging a song that’s layered over and reshaped by a persistently soulful groove. Frankie knew the operatic seduction of anticipation. A ten-minute remix of his could start off with seven of intro and leave you aquiver with the song’s delayed opening line. A Frankie set wove moments like this together to showcase the passion, disappointment and joy of everyday living.

TS Madison Wants Us To Know That It’s “On”

by Sethclark on | No Comments

The library should not only be open but its walls should also throb from the whip of a deep bass line and the snap of a sassy high-hat. This combination catalogs any worthy “bitch track.” The best of the classic ones from the 1990s by Roxy, Franklin Fuentes and others had you both laughing at their clever lyrical reads and duck walking to the driving house music beat.

It inspires that go-go boy you like to shake his booty. It convinces you to go for the gold in the NYC competitive sport that we all know to be going out drinking. Your bartenders and cab driver home certainly appreciate the tips
