Phlatlixiers spin local mi
:
hursday
By Ryan Locker
Staff writer
T exas A&M’s small under
ground following of raves
and house parties is con
tributed to by the Phlat Line Crew,
a team of two brothers, Ronnie
White (DJ Ron-E) and BJ. White
(D-Jabe), plus Will Walker.
The three DJs occasionally open
their apartment on Northgate for
their growing electronica parties.
Recent mainstreaming of elec
tronic music has made a name for
The Chemical Brothers and
brought Prodigy to Lollapalooza. It
is these kinds electronica acts that
are at the center of the groove of
techno.
This core vibe has the focus of
Phlat Line Crew and Walker. They
said they are not necessarily con
cerned with the specific names of
music, just its level of intensity.
Ravers will hear some Chemical
Brothers, Wink, Fluke and Prodigy
at Phlat Line Crew’s productions,
but these DJs are trying to bring
some new grooves and funky
breaks that are foreign to Bryan-
College Station.
Ronnie and B.J. White are not new
to this scene, but rather have rejuve
nated after the Genesis I and II raves
they produced two years ago.
These raves were of a larger va
riety than the homespun “Con
centric Groove”-series house par
ties that have run at their
apartment the past two Saturdays.
The Phlat Line Crew’s Genesis
Raves involved $1000-plus light
shows and were held in ware
houses. They were an emporium
of mind candy, drawing thou
sands clad in polyester, where the
DJs are not the only ones who
pimp their vinyl.
So while some students are still
sweating their Robert Earl Keen
and Jackopierce tickets, another
weekend option to keep in mind is
