Words by Jesse Serwer, via The Guardian
British newspaper The Guardian last Friday tapped our own esteemed Cockney & Yardie columnist and the five-star general of top-ranking London soundsystem The Heatwave, Gabriel Myddleton, along with Heatwave MC Benjamin D, for a highly engaging guide to the art of the house party. Among the “dos” and “don’ts” recommended by Gabe and Ben:
—No posing or being seen. Getting sweaty is not cool, but it’s essential to a dancehall party. When you’re at the rave, forget about what you look like
—Never walk up to anybody at the rave and say, ‘So, what do you do?’
—Play Sean Paul
—Bring a drunk friend who is gonna get excited about the music
