InfluencesRAREGROOVE SOULCLASSICS HIP HOP REGGAE WORLDBEAT HOUSE Image Hosted by ImageShack.us DEEJAYS: HIGHER. T-LEE. DAZ. COKNI O'DIRE. BLACK SHAKESPEARE. AURELITO. "One of the few clubs that really feels like a house party, this club night houses an arty, laid-back crowd that's as multi-flavored and -hued as the rhythms on the decks. Chocolate Bar has been going strong since 1997, and that's largely due to its hosts Shakespeare and Aurelito, two eastsiders with a lot of friends. Over the years their posse has grown with the help of their I&I Sound System—a converted ice-cream truck pumping out reggae jams—that they take to events around town. Still, Chocolate Bar remains the pair's homebase, an unpretentious hang where peeps of every color get to know each other on the dance floor while vintage wax experts Daz, T. Lee and Higher spin everything from Bob Marley to A Tribe Called Quest to Stevie Wonder. Occasionally, there are even live visual art performances. As for the crowd? Some work the ethnic look with dreads and multicolored threads, others look like '70s soul bros and sistas—but most stay casual in jeans and tees." — Lina Lecaro hotline: 323.860.8873 MYSPACE.com/CHOCOLATEBARPARTY INISOUND.com ""

   About BLACK SHAKESPEARE
BLACK SHAKESPEARE is a man of many talents: singer-songwriter, toaster, producer, club promoter, and radio DJ, to the a few. He is a co-founder of the LA nightclub, Chocolate Bar, and has music in his genes. A cousin of bassist Robbie Shakespeare of Sly & Robbie, he also did his first assisting engineering gig with legendary producer Scientist. Born in Jamaica, he moved with his family to New York City , where Shakespeare became involved with Hip Hop, toasting with host Jamalski at S.O.B.'s open mic venue. In 1995, he moved to Los Angeles where he met Aurelito Mercado, a Chicago transplant who hosted parties that guested such pioneering Dee Jays as Marvski and Cut Chemist. where people like the Black Eyed Peas, Breakestra, and Ozomatli just came to hang. Aurelito and Shakespeare formed the I&I Sound System, and started Chocolate Bar in early 1997, with original DJs Cokni ODire, DJ Higher, Daz, and T-Lee. It was Mercado who, around 2000, dreamed up the idea of the Irie Ice Cream Truck, outfitting an old ice cream truck with a sound system and bringing the good vibes and deep tunes to the folks. Shortly after the Ice Cream Trucks debut in early 2003, it was featured on the cover of XLR8R magazine, as well as a Saul Williams album cover. Mercado and Shakespeare soon began receiving invitations. The I&I Sound System has since become a presence at festivals like the Sunset Junction, Nocturnal Wonderland, Electric Daisy, and Abbot Kinney Festivals; the system even gigs at museums, high schools and colleges. The LA. resident is a featured artist on The Lions' latest album "Ethio Steppers", as well as on the "Rewind 5" compilation album (both released by Ubiquity Records). His latest creation HARD WIRE is an a big mixture of music of what he calls Dub Hop. A bringing together of Dancehall and Dub Reggae with deep nitty gritty Hip Hop beats. Working along side producers Josh 1 and Craig S. and top ranking vocalist from Red Bud Records Rob Symeonn and selector /deeJay Mikey Assassin. Black Shakespeare brings the Brooklyn, Jamaica L.A. Vibez world wide for the people.....
