Rick Wilhite

This past weekend marked the first ISM related event, in collaboration with Still City. Much thanks to Rick Wilhite for coming down to Pittsburgh and blowing it up for us on Saturday night over at AVA. He demonstrated that Detroit style perfectly, playing everything from dubbed out techno on Styrax Leaves to Candido’s “Thousand Finger Man” and everything in between, including some of his own edits which were super hot. Paul Dang dropped some nice hiphop and soul music to kick things off, then I took it in an 80’s disco direction before descending into deep house. Thanks to all the people who came out as well, it appeared that everyone had a good time. It was pretty packed up in there for a while, it was nice to see people getting down to the house music in the Burgh, even when it is far less than fashionable to do so. Check out my wife’s post about the night for links to a couple other pictures that she took. Also, I wanna give a shout out to TJ Dumas who accompanied Rick down to the 412, he may or may not have had something to do with the Chic edit on this hot 12″. We will be seeing you guys up in Detroit in just a couple weeks! As for the Pittsburgh crew, we will definitely be doing some more events in the near future…..
