Collectively, Prince and Michael Jackson helped define the early-'80s era of MTV, revolutionized both R&B and popular music, and influenced thousands of musicians worldwide. What began 11 years ago as just a local tribute party in San Francisco has become a nationwide movement with the deejay and even some fans traveling the country. DJ Dave Paul pays tribute to The Purple One and The King of Pop by mixing album cuts, remixes, rare tracks and hits from the two artists and ancillary acts (Sheila E., The Jackson 5, The Time and Janet Jackson) as party goers celebrate on the dance floor. “Fans have flown across the country to come to the parties. They plan their vacations to SF around the monthly residency. Some people even drive a few hours to attend parties in different cities and recently a couple took a 4.5 hour Greyhound ride from DC to attend the party in New York. Now that’s dedication. Prince and Michael Jackson fans really are the best,” explains Paul.
Bars and venues love it - high ratio of women, strong bars sales and no trouble. Diehard and casual fans love it - they get the music that they want to hear in an environment where they are surrounded by like minded individuals. The music is far from the only thing happening at this niche party, there's theme dancing, a face-off between guests repping their favorite artist, and much, much more. A perfect night for someone to lounge with friends, make some new friends, get their drink on, dance their @ss off and have the time of their life. Not only is Dave Paul the producer & dj of these events but he is a true fan of both artists and it is evident in the production.
ABOUT THE DJ:
Dave Paul began his music career in 1984, starting as a mobile dj and evolving into a prominent college radio dj, club dj, and remixer in San Francisco. In 1991 he launched the now legendary publication The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine and in 1995 Paul transformed the magazine into a record label. The company was named "one of the fifteen independent labels that matter" according to Rolling Stone and the labels Return of the DJ series was ranked by Spin Magazine as #25 in their "The 90 Greatest Albums of the 90's" (Sept. 1999 issue), receiving a higher rating than Gold & Platinum albums by Lauryn Hill, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Green Day and Fatboy Slim. Dave Paul has appeared on the front cover of Billboard magazine and is featured in the motion picture Scratch. Mr. Paul has dj'ed throughout the US, toured Europe and the UK, released over 100 projects on his now defunct record label and currently produces themed dj parties including the 11 year running Prince and Michael Experience.
When asked about when he first heard Prince and Michael Jackson music, Paul responds “I can’t remember when I first heard J5 but I can remember the first time I heard Prince. I was 12 years old. My next door neighbor Eric was a few years younger than me but his older brother Andy was about 16 and played guitar. Eric told me I had come over to their house to hear a new record. They played me some tracks and I said “she sounds good.” They laughed and said it’s a guy and he plays all the instruments. I thought they were full of it because I didn’t understand about recording and multi-tracking back then. So I wondered how is he playing guitars, drums and singing all at once? Then they showed me the album jacket, shirtless on the front and naked on the back riding a Pegasus. I was like WTF?! Dirty Mind came out and I was intrigued, Controversy came out and I was feeling it, 1999 came out and I was hooked for life.”
PRAISE FROM FANS:
"The Prince and Michael Jackson Experience is the place to be. For us epic PR&MJ fans it is our Prom and our Church. I always meet so many great people while dancing myself into a sweatier, happier person than I was before I came in. Free to be, P.Y.T. !!!" - Julie D.
"I remember going to this night and not only having the time of my life but seeing so many other people having the time of their life - and that's not an exaggeration. There is such a rare form of positive vibes across the audience. I recall even the most "acoustic & woodsy music loving/ lone wolf/ mainstream hating" of my friend circle reluctantly winding up at the Prince & MJ night with me one night a long time ago and 20 minutes into it running into him dancing his ass off with a drink in one hand and a random girl in the other." - Tim O.
"This was literally the most magical night of my life. I will never do this again because it will lessen the experience. I connected with my mother, my father, and complete strangers. I have never been so happy and so at peace. And no I'm not on drugs." - Asia S.
"great job last night. I love how when i come there i dance with the same "Strangers" from the last party" - Kandyce B.
"These are the BEST parties I have been to!!! the fact I waited in line did NOT matter. Had such a badass time, even if the heat got to me in the end. the best part??? I held the Prince impersonators guitar! shit like that never happens to me! rockstar!" - Claudia VM
"It's not just the music of the two great artists, it's the people and the fans who reflect them. And it all starts with the DJ bringing them all together. That's a good dude right there!" - Marco R.
"This was one of the best DJ sets and crowds ever. Everyone was grooving with a smile on their face, very polite and some of the best dancing (seriously, that one guy near the DJ set is my hero), awesome background videos of Prince and Michael, and the best music (we can all agree). Not to mention, they had a PRINCE and TWO KINGS there. Much appreciated that people still enjoy really good music, know how to get down and have great manners too." - Lex W. [Edited 3/6/14 22:12pm] |
