PURA VIDA






PURA VIDA....just remember those words and you’ll be fine.

I arrive in San Jose for the first time, after a quick 2 hour flight.  A local promoter and now friend @Mariano_md was there to greet me and take me to the hotel. It’s rainy season over there now, but the scenery was still beautiful. We stayed in the city side. The beach area was about 1hr 1/2 ride away.  I was only there for the weekend and playing that night. Being a local, for 23 years, he was able to show me everywhere in the city and explain everything at the same time, personal taxi / tour guide. That night I was playing the newly re-opened Prive, so we decided to stop by to check out the DJ booth and sound. Located in Escazu, one of the more wealthier areas, Prive is defenitly the perfect club to compliment the clientele.  The lights, sound, and visual systems were top notch. I was excited for night.

DJ’s Maxxx and Charlie Stevens opened and closed with some good sets. I played an open format set mixed with house and hip hop. Bottles were popped and the crowd as very responsive. Everyone was very welcoming. I met some great people and look forward to returning more frequently. If you go to Costa Rica, I highly recommend you spend one night on the city side, and take visit to Prive. I will see you there!
