Prince and associated artists go toe-to-toe on the dance floor against Michael and the Jackson family - this is the ultimate dance party! DJ's mix album cuts, remixes, rare tracks and classics from their extensive music collections to battle it out on the turntables. This face-off always promises to be a dance marathon - "I Wanna Be Your Lover" takes a swing at "PYT (Pretty Young Thing)," only to be pounded by "Wanna Be Starting Somethin," which had better watch it's back when "Kiss" comes around.
This experience is presented by bombhiphop.com who have successfully produced 58 of these events in San Francisco as well as Seattle, Olympia, Portland, Bend and Vancouver, BC. "As a concept for a DJ battle, Prince vs. Michael is brilliant," writes SF Weekly's Hiya Swanhuyser. This dance party event features music from Prince, Michael, The Time, The Jackson 5, Sheila E., Janet Jackson, Vanity 6 and many more. Who will win, The Purple One or the King of Pop? Who cares... this is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and celebrate the music of both these pop stars.
"For six years now, Dave Paul (proprietor of local hip-hop label Bomb Records) has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikki's and Dirty Diana's are all welcome to participate." - SF WEEKLY

Rest In Peace. The music will live forever!
Michael Joseph Jackson - August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009.
"Michael Jackson's music has been a very important part of my life from the beginning. I owe a great debt to Michael for inspiring my passion for music. From the first Jackson 5 records my parents gave me at the age of 3, instinctively I knew what whatever I chose to do in my life it would center around music.
When David Paul and I conceived the idea for the tribute party to Michael Jackson and Prince over six years ago, it was meant to celebrate the music of two of the biggest pop cultural icons of our generation. It was done with love and mutual respect for both artists something that I hope can be felt at each event.
At the moment as I'm writing this I'm totally devastated, deeply saddened and really don't know what else to say or really how to feel right now. Regardless of how you felt about Michael Jackson personally, the legacy that he leaves behind as a musician and an entertainer is indelible, permanent and cannot be denied. Michael showed that you can achieve incredible things in your lifetime when you are blessed with God given talent and have the will and drive to succeed. Thank you for the wonderful music you've given us and your incredible but all too brief time on this earth. We will miss you." - Jeff Harris
