Will.I.Am rocked Pacha without his fellow Black Eyed Peas, last week. His DJ set with JDH and Sleepy & Boo brought downtown uptown, as a packed house got Hell's Kitchen some nightlife loving it doesn't often see.

As he blew up the turntables, Will.I.Am seemed very much at home flying solo. This is convenient, because if he had wanted the company of his fellow Peas we know at least Fergie might be tied up. Navigating the choppy waters of stripper infidelity accusations (against her gorgeous man Josh Duhamel) is likely very time consuming.

The bumping beats inspired lots of jumping around, plus some carnival-like displays from the audience, including one man's demonstrated mastery of playing with a crystal ball. Not the kind that tells the future, more one that just rolls around and stuff.
