"Music is what brings us all together, it unites our souls. It is the universal language spoken in every country. This is our ADDICTION." These were the words on the front of the flyer for Addicted. These words would forever embody an event that would be remembered, for one reason or another.

Thrown by Nu Breed Entertainment, Addicted was held at The ORB (Old Rainier Brewer) aka Tully's, one of the most admirable venues in Seattle. Located in SoDo and topped by a massive T, the freeway adjacent building is a landmark of the city. Even those too young to remember the building as the Old Rainier Brewery know the Tully's building by the freeway. They know where to go the night of an event. They knew where to go the night of Addicted. That was evident.

Bounce Again!: Official Dance All Night Review
Reviewed by: Ro
In February of 2009, there emerged a new promotion company called Nu Breed, and they were putting on their first show, called Bounce. Bounce was a two stage party that was stuffed to the gills with a wonderful, positive vibe that would not be recreated again the entire year. With a theme based on dryer sheets and a raving Tigger mascot, there was only one way to go, and that was with a smile. Everyone was there to have fun and Nu Breed got their start off with a BIG bang. Their name was going to be remembered. Bounce would be remembered.

The King Cat Theater Reviewed
Reviewed by: Ro
In a city with no shortage of night clubs for the alcohol drinking crowd, the venue situation for EDM events is dire. The amount of venues available to promoters has been squeezed down to a select few, and they get what they can when they can, which means some venues might pop up in an unlikely place. Jumbo, for instance, where EDM events are held regularly, doubles as an Chinese restaurant during the day.

One such unlikely venue is the King Cat Theater, situated in a busy corner of downtown Seattle. Although it seems more suited for EDM events than places like Jumbo, the King Cat is built for stage performances, with ample seating in the main auditorium. What it isn't made for, is club like events that include dancing.

During an EDM event at the King Cat, the seats on the main floor are removed, to make room for party goers as they enjoy their favorite DJ or tune. It sounds good, in theory. In practice, it's a different story.

Club Motor Reviewed
Reviewed by: Ro
Seattle is full of nooks and crannies, and in the way of clubs, bars, warehouses, and hole in the wall places you need a GPS to find, there is a full range of diversity in every corner. Some are loud, some are quiet, and some are just for the regulars. The industrial district of Seattle, named SoDo for being south of the now non-existent King Dome, is home to train tracks, alleys, factories, diners, banks, corner stores, and several venues escaping the busy streets of Seattle, only coming to life when the rest of the district is quiet and dark.

As First Avenue heads southward, the busy Emerald City culture gives way to a quieter, more spread out area, where the factories expand out, and the lights become more distant. It's along this road that you'll find a small sign above a door. That's where you'll also find Club Motor.
