Attempting a review of Saturday night's festivities at the Canopy Club is like attempting to review a party with old friends. While DJ/dance music is honestly not my scene at all, you can't help but have a good time when surrounded by the energy of a crowded room of people all feeling the same beat.

After much delay, my friends and I arrived at the Canopy just in time for the Internet's latest "it" duo Yacht. The male-female pairing of Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans brought an intricate stage show complete with an overriding theme of triangles and black/white/gray. The packed Canopy Club was definitely feeling the act, bouncing and singing along to the group's hit "Psychic City (Voodoo City)."

While I missed the Hood Internet's set, it was only because of being entirely drawn in by the Physical Challenge showcase in the Void room. DJ CZO was insanely enthusiastic, pumping up the crowd with his mixes and creating an interaction that was not only enticing, but highly addictive.

RJD2 closed out the evening with a solid set of tracks spanning more than an hour and an encore of sorts. Highlighted by a consistent stream of clips from films like "Desperado" and "The Matrix," the DJ/producer showcased his skills via turntable, not laptop and honestly confused this Joliet-native with a ramble about the Illinois city.
