These are the voyages of the starship FreeVodka. Mark the Cobrasnake hosted Banana Split Sundae at LAX last night and it went bonkers and a half thanks to the fantastic combo of free booze, a packed house, a celebration of Star Trek including an appearance from JJ Abrams, and superstar dj’s.

I got there early to get a good foundation drunk going before the hordes showed up clammoring for free vodka but there were already two long lines of fools trying to get at my clear Russian nectar, luckily this job has got some perks. About three drinks in I’m walking from the bar to the outside smoking area when I see this big, bald football player looking dude named Kid Beyond on the mic but I didn’t hear any rapping or singing just the beat from the dj. So maybe it was that I was three drinks in or maybe I’m just stupid but when I saw the dj wasn’t playing anything it took me at least 15 seconds to realize homeboy was beatboxing, I guess the mark of a good beatboxer is when someone doesn’t realize you’re making those sounds with your mouth. After another drink or three and DJ AM and Steve Aoki collectively killing it I was walking by the booth while nicholas-foster.com snapped a couple pictures when security came and through all heavy and cleared the way for a guy with a skimask over his face and headed straight for the dj booth. I went through my mental rolodex of masked dj’s, danger?, The Bloody Beetroots? my beloved Thomas or Guy-Man? nope, nope, and double nope. It wasn’t a bird, it wasn’t a plane, it was the genre bending alter-ego from Dim Mak [[[Zuper Blahq]]] who laid so much bass in the booth I tweeted that it was making me have to pee and I got two @replies back with mutual feelings, now that’s a lot of bass. Then it was time for the man from Montreal, Mr. A-Trak himself to lay waste to the dance floor, and lay waste he did. Watching the man work from just over his shoulder was an incomparable pleasure and this edit of Robot Rock is probably tied with Soulwax for sickest all time recreation of the song. Also big shout out to the go go dancing alien babes who danced their asses off for four hours painted like they had some bad sushi on mars.
