A quick peek at the last Bass Massacre party at Coco66 in Brooklyn. Brought to you by Methods NYC and Profound Sound on Oct 23rd, 2009. Borgore is killing the decks, mics and crowd surfing while NYC responds appropriately. Reid Speed lends a hand on levels for a sec. MC Diggadee grabs a chorus, Dave Gee leaves the decks to shoot the video. No doubt Trigon & Eshin were causing mayhem under the cover of darkness and VJ Pixalot cuts it all up for your viewing pleasure.
