In the Mixx

larger view

Welcome back to In the Mixx, peeps! Thanks to all the people who showed love at the back-in-the-day Club Vidal’s 20-plus reunion and birthday party for Nick V of the Baka Boyz. It was a blast. Also the KRS-ONE show at the Dome ... all I got to say is that the blast master put on a good show, but the sound system needed some work.
OK, lots of cool stuff happening this weekend and in the coming days, so get your fix and get In the Mixx. Read on ...

Shake what mom gave you
Tonight for some cool mash-ups, top 40, and hip hop, mixed with some good sushi ... Azul’s, 1514 Wall St., is the spot to be. DJ Damage is in full effect and will make you shake what your mom gave you. Doors open at 8 p.m., 21/over with I.D. and a strict dress code.
