DJ ROCKY ROCK Spinzone

Like a Rock

To celebrate five years of consistent upscale excellence, the promoters at Dragonfly Room inside the W Hotel are flying in one of the Bay Area’s fly-est.

For the naysayers that believe a turntablist can’t move a crowd, its time to get your mind right because DJ Rocky Rock of Jeepney Music is more than just your average one dimensional scratch rabbit.

Down with the Black Eyed Peas as [Apl.de.ap]’s personal DJ, double-r earned his international DJ stripes cutting and scratching his way to championship status at battles put on by the legendary International Turntable Federation and the DJ Mixing Competition.

Along with performing with Snoop, Korn and Linkin Park and making music with his band Dirty Heads, one of Rock’s crowning achievements is opening the door for U.S. hip-hop talent to perform in his home country of the Philippines.

The fundamentally ill, party rockin’ Filipino is usually holding it down at the most “down” nightspots in L.A. Their loss is Hawai’i’s gain this weekend.

Dragonfly Room, inside the W Hotel, 2885 Kalakaua Ave., Sat 8/16, 9pm–2pm, 21+ [rockyrockproject.com], [myspace.com]
