Last night TRUST celebrated a year of successful dance parties—with a dance party at Chop Suey. And according to TRUST’s website, TRUST is “Kid Hops and SunTzu Sound combined to create one of the most popular parties in recent times.”

I arrived at Chop Suey pretty early. It was 10 p.m. and only a few folks were scattered around the club, their heads bouncing slowly to the music as they sipped their drinks in the low light.

Within the last few days I’ve developed a case of bronchitis (I’m guessing, although it’s already clearing up), so I imbibe a steady flow of hot toddies as the crowd begins to pile in. An hour later the dance floor is filling up.

I think it’s safe to say that the crowd can be described as happy. DJ Kid Hops is bringing stray feet into the fold with a mixture of disco, house, and soul. I didn’t feel like dancing all that much, but I can’t seem to resist the beats and I too end up on the dance floor. Eventually the coughing kicked back in so I went home where I belonged.

But from the couple of hours I was there, TRUST’s anniversary party was a lot of fun, and had I not been hacking up a lung, I would have stayed until the end. Suggests approved.

  2. Hope you feel better soon, Nadia, you didn’t miss anything.

    I got there at midnight to find the place packed with people wanting to dance, but DJ Ellis played nothing but cheesy electro smooth jazz that was pretty much impossible to dance to. Major DJ FAIL.

    So I head over to the after hours party, only to have the same thing happen again. The first DJ was into a style of rap music that was both annoying (“nigga this, nigga that”) and had no danceable hooks. He sucked worse than Ellis. The next guy was a little better, but music was still way too low energy for the crowd.

    Anyway, crappy suggestion. Perhaps it was an off night, but I do kinda get the impression that no one at the Stranger knows much about the Seattle dance scene.
