Legend is a big word! Legend not but maybe a early pioneer of this thing we call Djing. And even then there are shoulders I had to stand on to get where I got to.

Most of you that have Dj for a while know who Frankie Beauchamp is. He has done sound for over 20 years for alot of Jerseys better clubs. But what you probably don't know is that Frankie was one of the best DJ's in Jersey in his day. One of my early mentors.

No Sensations was New Experience first. I'm talking about a Gay club closer to Broad ST. It use to serve as a modelling school during the day.

What are talking about? Black Box fit in 280 about 20 times. The problem with 280 is that it was too big. Unless you had at least 1000 people in it it looked empty. Black Box looked crowded with 50 people

Also I got out of the deal with Butchie after 2 weeks. 280 never really took off.

Black Box was much easier to get going. Great sound system for the space. 4 Berthas with columns and 2 hanging tweeter arrays. Lots of sound for the space

But you do know that Docks was the blue print for Black Box. Small space great sound system.

Actually I had been talking to someone about a book. I'n not sure it's worth it yet. I want the history of Jersey clubs and Dj's from a Jersey perspective. If I get interest maybe I'll do it. There alot of history that alot of these books miss.

[Hippie]

No there was another club there before that. I guest DJed for Eddie a couple of times. Way before Mirage

[racerx]

Hippie don't wait too long for the book, you have the knowledge and the resources now! The club on Branford, possibly Shaniques? Oh but wouldn't it be nice to resurrect 280 with the extra space...Talk about a "big room."

[Hippie]

No Shaniques was on Halsey

[Hippie]

Yeah 280 would probably be a good space to do but you need alot of cooperation from the whole House scene. That room is extremely big.

[Hippie]

280 needs a wooden floor. We put down a new cement floor because we didn't have the money for a wooden floor. But thats a bit hard on a dancers feet.

I think I saw this same post a while ago on another board ;) . I'll take it back to the early 80's we used to kick off The Pub at Livingston College.

Oh God I missed a whole host of them Black Box resident dj Friday night (1994-1998). Just ran into Chuck and George Lawton they're doing well. Naeem is back, nuff said. Stephon used to have it wall-to-wall packed in there on Sat. With the dancers I gotta mention my girl Ovina and her crew along with my man Pete Springer they were hardcore regulars. The Box featured up-and-coming as well as established artists like Barbara Tucker, Darryl D'Bonneau and Sajada. Guest djs included Louie Vega, Kenny Carpenter and John Robinson.

Did my first professional dj work at Hardcore (Club 280) in 1989 with Nick Jones. Disciple had a nice party there when it was Club 280 that was tight.

Gotta throw in Underground Dreams/Movement run by Tamir in the mid/late 90's were I played along with a ridiculous roster of djs like Dave Tobon, Pookie and Mr. X. Oh and how can I forget Mr. Hippie! Deep Vibe and great atmosphere always. Thanks for the contribution Tamir.

Man I like this thread. Brings me back to wintertime after New Experience and everybody used to pile in the Donut shop and wait for the Broad and Market buses (27, 39-48, 24, 31, 25) to go home or just walk. Anyone remember that kid Malcolm who used to do the KarateRobot with those white gloves and light-up glasses? Cats used to sport Karate suits and shoes, wear spikes, studs and cut-up jeans and tees to the club. Where is Camacho? I used to slide over to Scudder homes on the regular. Used to roll with Mark IV to the parks and projects man those were the days. Any djs mention Stephen's record shop next to the Donut Shop? I wore everything from drawstring pants to Kangos to Easy Walkers with the Ripple sole ok I'll stop there.

Say Hippie, I remember a spot across the street from Zanzibar(A little down the block)in the early to mid 80's, That cats used to Wear suits and ties to get into(I can't remember the name of the spot though), Also does anyone remember Merlin Bobb sometimes sitting on a stool checking Id's and if i remember correctly collecting the ticket that you would get at the window once you paid that 12 dollars, Also, Does anyone remember the Zanzibar hotline were a cat/Young Lady would give you an update on the coming week as far as shows and Dj's for Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nites, The hotline would also give you directions to get to Zanzibar, But if you were coming from New York(Like myself and my boys)
The Hotline would mention to take Route 1/9 all the way to Newark(That shit was crazy wack with all of those lights on Route 1/9/It took me two years of traveling on route 1/9 before i got the courage to try Route 280 one morning), Also, I once had a flyer from Zanzibar from 1982 that had the Dj lineup for a Saturday nite throwdown(Party), And the flyer had Tee Scott,Larry Patterson,Tony Humphries,Gerald T(Gerald T.Roney), If i can ever find that flyer i would most definitely pass it on to Gman, Say Hippie, Do you remember a cat named Lamont Boles who used to MC some of the shows at Zanzibar in the early to mid 80's(Short Lightskinned cat), I can't forget one of the best Basketball Tournaments in New Jersey back in the 90's and that was The Harry James Pro-am Tournament in East Orange on Central Ave, Across the street from a school, But i cannot remember the name right now, I don't know the name of the cat who was on the mic souping(Giving you play by play coverage)up the games and cracking on cats/Young ladies as you came into the park, But Homes was crazy funny, And my man would play tapes with Club music that would make cats/young ladies want to get busy(Start a party)right in the park(**** the games), And, There were more than enough Young Ladies in the park checking out the games, Where a throwdown(Party)could have worked very well, I've always had alot of fun in New Jersey.

P.S. Anyone remember the cat who used to sell the franks and soda's on Broadst right after you would come out of Zanzibar in the morning in the Early to mid 80's.
