However, SaturnBar’s newest monthly event is heading inan entirely different direction than mostother New Orleans dance nights. ‘Thereare themed nights, there are clubs that aregenre-rific, meaning you know where to goto see hip-hop, to hear reggae, ‘80s, etc. Soto counter the nightly monotony Sonali, alongwith co-creator Michelle Lopez and her mainDJs Brice Nice and Joey Buttons, are ‘tryingto create a monthly party where people don’tgive a fuck and dance, wild out and cometogether as New Orleanians in a spirit ofhaving a good time and hopefully supportingcreativity and exchanging ideas.’ That’s whythe night isn’t classified by one type of music.You can expect to hear everything from indierock to dancehall, from electro to hip hop.And of course, Sonali assures, there will bebounce. Judging by the packed house at thefirst Ditto Baby!, Sonali and her crew arecertainly doing more than a little somethingright. Want to see what all talk is about?
