SANTIAGO SALAZAR

Imagine: You are out on a Monday night in the infamous Rampart District of downtown LA. You walk into a black building off Lafayette Park Place and Beverly Blvd. This 6-story black building has no name and all you can hear as you enter is a muffled sound of steady four-on-the-floor beats pounding. You walk to the door and hand five dollars to a short heavy-set guy named Mack. As you enter, you notice a single red light over the bar and a blue light coming from the dance floor. You smell a mixture of cigarettes, Pine Sol and old plumbing, but you don't care, because your sole purpose of being here is to dance until 6am on a Monday night. Maybe you buy a Snapple w/Triple Sec or a Rum and Coke at the bar and head towards the dance floor. A tall Latino wearing sun glasses and a velvet suit is doing a cat-walk dance back and forth like it is his own personal runway. You find a dark corner to do your own shadow dancing to the deep house vibes laced with techno and everything else in between the DJ is pumping. “Is this the Twilight Zone?” you may ask. But no, it’s the Beverly Room – a little place I called home in 1994-1995.
