...discovery: Appreciating both popular music’s past and present, dissecting both the very popular and the undeservedly obscure, stumbling onto tunes that would become new favorites. As regular readers will know, the column takes its name from a line in “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” (a song by Indeep) and it’s a reference to the art and craft of mixing.

At another new Manhattan restaurant, Chinoiserie, architect Wid Chapman upholstered the ceiling and padded the back wall to mitigate the waterfall's rush and DJ's tunes.

The DEA's Cazenavette hints that his agents are finding serious dirt on the men. But for now, the music continues. These days the Brunets book mostly non-DJ acts such as the hip-hop duo OutKast. Estopinal still brings big-name DJs to town, though they now spin at a smaller venue. Some patrons there are surely on ecstasy, just as some of the city's many other shows attract other drugs.
