[Bob Sinclar takes over Club VIP St. Tropez nightclub]

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard “World Hold On” blaring from the rafters of a nightclub.  Two years ago, you would hear this and “Love Generation” at least five times a night. What happened to Bob Sinclar? I remember asking my friends last weekend. Well, today I found out. He’s released a brand new album (where have I been!?) titled Born in ‘69, and is taking over the nightclubs in Europe to start a new wave of Sinclar addicts. Go HERE for his full lineup.  This June, he started off the “Tour” at the VIP Room nightclub in St. Tropez and we have the photos of the party from a reader.

[John Forte, photos by CHANCE YEH for PMc] John Forté, ex-Fugee member, astounded us yet again last night with his fresh, lyrical beats at the album release of his first EP album in seven years: StyleFREE. The performance took place at the ever-hip RDV in the West Village, a unique setting to celebrate the release of his new album which Forté described as “cathartic” following his release from prison (he was in for drug possession). Guests at last night’s performance included Talib Kweli, Sky Nellor, DJ Logic, and Ben Taylor.
