WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26

SUMMER 2002 KICKOFF PARTY (one-off) (progressive house) (house) (trance) @ Egypt w/ Louie DeVito and more, $12. Are you ready for a club-storming, mid-week bash on Delaware Avenue? The legendary NYCs Louie DeVito returns once again to Philly to drop hard, pumpin progressive house on the main floor, plus theres two more rooms of music. DeVito plays in Philly all the time, you say? Well, this will be his only Philly date of the summer, so catch him while you can! Some hype on the notorious crowd-pleaser: Devito is credited as the best-selling DJ in the U.S. -- his name is in the Guinness Book of World Records for his mix-CD sales -- his latest CD, Louie Devitos Dance Factory, debuted in the top 100 of Billboards top 200 chart -- the CD hit #1 on the Electronic Chart -- and his revered New York Underground Vol. 3 CD is the best-selling mix-CD of all time. So, in other words, forget about Paul Oakenfold -- Louie Devito is the true club-mastermind.
