DJs Chris Fortier ad Jesse Brede at Sky
Let me revise my outdated impressions of Sky, the vertical dance club on Congress Avenue. Its atrium-style space, with its rectangular configuration and celestial decor, is perhaps the best dance floor in town, at least for soaking up the sounds of DJs like Chris Fortier and warm-up Jesse Brede. Friday, their underground strands had a multivaried crowd locked into movement, facing the turntable as if theirs were live acts. Once again, I am astounded by the cosmopolitan look and sound of New Austin and look forward to another Sky run.

Jesse is the best example of what is "right" when it comes to electronic music event promotion. He does it because he's passionate about the music, not because he wants to boost his ego or make money at the expense of others. Great review and keep reviewing his events.

yes Austin's Jesse Brede has always expressed more than just mixing skill. My friends and I have been to dj events all over - MIAMI, TX, CA, NYC, CANADA HOLLAND, his sets are socially 'conscious' but definitely good time party experiences. i hear he may have a live electro band in the works?

Damn I love Jesse Brede. His set that night was forward-thinking and thought-provoking... not many DJ's have the vision he does to transcend genres.

Sky has some of the best sound in the state! It may not always get packed but, they have done a great job with the sound. highs are clear, lows are subed out and little to no mud. That's what happens when you hire DJs like Jesse Brede who know a lot more than just playing music.
