I've been really impressed the couple of times I've seen DJ Sober spin before shows. His song selection is impeccable and he reads the crowd really well. Newcomers and the people out on the patio made their way inside as The Party's DJ Sober was spinning a nice mix of East and West Coast early '90s hip-hop. At the Kool Keith show in March 2009, as the crowd waited for the show to start, something exciting started happening: a break dance circle broke out. This is something I've only witnessed once before--but never at an actual show. It was really great to see. What Sober may lack in scratch technique is made up for with the way he works the crowd and with his song selection.
