Zombie Nation playing THE TRACK
July 3rd, 2008 boston, dance, dj, milkyway, party, rave, video, zombienation | No Comments »Zombie Nation tour setup
Everyone wanted to know, “Will he play it?”

Did you know that Zombie Nation == ZZT?
Dancing to a roughly the same tempo for two or more hours can […]

DJ Nephets in Paris, 18 May 2007

April 30th, 2008 chickennoodlesoup, dance, dancing, education, harlem, hiphop, lightfeet, litefeet, teenagers, webstar | No Comments »A new friend from ROFLCon emailed me this morning about high school kids being suspended for making videos of spontaneous ‘lite feet’ dancing in school. Rather than re-write this as a blog post (end of semester squeeze and all), I’m going to quote my email (nessonblog style) and paste the videos inline. Enjoy!
