After a 6 years hiatus on a weekly base, NYC Bang The Party team, Lorie Caval et EMan have decided to wind down and move forward on to other projects, this marking the end of an era about a rendez-vous that has caused quite a stir in the Big Apple nightlife.

As for the future of Bang The Party, said Caval on an e-statement, it will live on, but in a new and different way.  As we all have grown, personally and artistically, you can bet that there will be a lot to look forward to from the BTP Crew.  In addition to his DJ gigs and his weekly Deep See event, EMan will continue sewing his live music oats with Sharrif Simmons and Djinji Brown and their group, Three the Odd Way, while continuing his career as a vocalist, producer and songwriter. 

As for myself, building upon my history as a nightclub reporter and party producer, I have a book in the works and am continuing with my freelance writing and Public Relations work.  I'm also working on a number of new songwriting projects and am continuing work on my poetry, as featured in the new book, Coloring Book : An Eclectic Anthology of Fiction & Poetry by Multicultural Writers, from Rattlecat Press. 

Also worth to mention, the documentary, Bang The Party : the Movie, to be complete by early 2004, meanwhile BTP website will remain the place where you can go to find out about all that's BTP and Pro Deuce.  Through the site, you ‘ll also be able to get your deep house fix with music mixes by Bang The Party DJs, BTP T-shirts, new beautiful photo galleries by great photographers, and flix of Jackson's great paintings., not to mention the opportunity to be posted with the BTP Crew's current projects, as well as any/all new developments through the BTP Message Board (www.BangTheParty.com)

Not to be missed, the final Bang The Party WHICH will take place on Fri 12/03 @ the Duplexx.
