Busy P drops D.A.N.C.E. by Justice - B.A.N.A.NA.S.!!!

(and yeah, there is a Robot behind him)

From the Nylon Blog:

“The Daft Punk “Dafter” Party was held at Studio B in Greenpoint Brooklyn, which has seen some of the best parties this summer. it was amazingly awesome times 398. It ruled, Busy P killed it and literally nine people have told me it was the best party they’ve ever been to in New York, which is saying a lot. I’ve said too much. Bye”

While The Rapture was coming home to NY, Daft and the Ed Banger kids made themselves at home at this ridiculous party. With sets by Busy P, SebastiAn, Kavinsky, Mattie & Druzzi, James Friedman, and more, Studio B had to herd everyone out the doors at 4am. I for one had a good time….and by the looks of it, so did about 1500 other people.

Apparently, Seattle isn’t all about grunge anymore. Once they packed Chop Suey to it’s gills with enthusiastic Daft and Rapture fans, the Throne of Blood (Mattie and Druzzi in the video) and Ed Banger crews started playing uhh, ‘bangers’ like this one. It was (probably) dangerous and really fun all at the same time.

Next up, Chicago….
