The roving hip-hop day party the Do-Over is celebrating its 10th anniversary with events in 10 of its host cities, including Portland. We asked co-founders Jamie Strong and Christopher Haycock about the best parties they've ever thrown in Stumptown.
1. DJ Jazzy Jeff & Mick Boogie @ Produce Row, 2012
Every year Jeff and Mick do a summertime mixtape together that is given away online, but we were lucky enough to have them live in person. The intimacy of Produce Row combined with these guys was a really special vibe.
2. Dam-Funk @ Produce Row, 2011
A Dam-Funk DJ set or live performance is never to be missed, but here he did a hybrid DJ set alongside a few of his own songs, where he went into the crowd with his shoulder synth, and the place went nuts.
3. The Gaslamp Killer @ Produce Row, 2010
GLK has been apart of the Do-Over family since 2005, so it's always an honor to include him wherever we can. This was one of the first ever Do-Overs in Portland, and it really set the tone of the overall vibe to come.
4. Biz Markie @ White Owl Social Club, 2013
The Diabolical Biz is the ultimate entertainer. Such a class act and history lesson anytime Biz DJs.
5. Pete Rock @ White Owl Social Club, 2014
Much like the Biz, Pete Rock has that old-school, party-rock style as a DJ and host on the mic. A living legend.
SEE IT: The Do-Over is at AudioCinema, 226 SE Madison St., on Sunday, Aug. 9. 2 pm. Free with RSVP at thedoover.net/10. DJs to be announced. 21+.
