...an epic 6.5 hour DJ set by legendary DJ Roy Thode at the even more legendary night club "The Saint" where dance music history was written. This is a special, so-called "morning music" set.

Quote from Tim Lawrence about this:
Robbie Leslie: "At around 6:00 AM, in a ritual that was not replicated in other venues, the DJ would let the final record of the peak set fade, accept applause from the crowd and acknowledge the work of the lighting person and the generosity of the crowd (if indeed the applause was enthusiastic, which wasn’t always the case). After that, the DJ would take the tempo right down and play a set that was commonly referred to as “sleaze” or “morning music”."

...and Barry Walters on RBMA:
"As the night progressed, the tempo and intensity increased by tiny, nearly imperceptible increments until climaxing around 6 AM, when the DJ would stop the music and the still-sizeable crowd would applaud as if giving a Broadway cast their standing ovation.

Then the DJ would resume, but at a somewhat slower tempo, and in a more lyrical and romantic style known as “morning music.” In a morning music set, the tempo of the tracks might build again, but typically not their intensity. Instead, DJs programed morning sets to ease dancers off stimulants and take them down an ethereal, more relaxing and soulful path for several more hours. Then the jock would usually take another encore, henceforth playing what many call “sleaze.” Sleaze might be overtly sexual, like Skatt Bros.’ “Walk the Night,” but usually not; its foundation was openhearted R&B; songs of longing, or regret, or sorrow or unmitigated joy.

This misnomer – Leslie emphatically objects to it – was especially deceptive because quintessential “sleaze” selections like Sharon Ridley’s “Changin’” or Viola Wills’ “Somebody’s Eyes” ranked among the evening’s most sensitively arranged tracks. Even when club music lost much of its compositional sophistication as the decade progressed, a “sleaze” set always radiated class. "

Rites XL  The Black Party 2019 - Mike Servito

Donned "The Queen of the DC Underground" by the late Lisa Moody (Deep Sugar, Baltimore), Lisa Frank has become a household name within the northeast underground over the past fifteen years. In addition to re-igniting warehouse culture in DC with ROAM and TNX, Lisa Frank has worked in nearly every aspect of nightlife, both behind the scenes and up front. Where Lisa shines the most, though, is within their live DJ sets. If you've caught Lisa spin then you understand the magnetic pull they conjure from the booth. You can feel it connect to your mind, body and soul- whether they're playing house, disco, techno or bass. After a recent move down to South Florida, Lisa Frank has put party-throwing on hold while they focus on production, their record label and their residency at The Eagle in Wilton Manors.
