2. Respect

Respect Drum & Bass/By Regal Dee
Drum and bass lovers have been going to this lively Thursday night D&B love-in for more than a decade ... and counting. Lively atmosphere, deft DJs and The Dragonfly's friendly staff, plus a spacious outdoor smoking patio when things get too sweaty inside, make for rhythmic night that deserves, yes, respect. 6510 Santa Monica Blvd., Hlywd. respectdrumandbass.com

1. Funky Sole at the Echo

What's not to like about this long-running soul dance party? Easy Eastside locale (unless, of course you live on the Westside... or you still refuse to call The Echo an Eastside venue); cute crowd there to dance, not pose or prance; and raw soul and funk, spun by some of the best vinyl DJs in town: Music Man Miles (Rootdown/Breakestra), Clifton aka DJ Soft Touch (Sonic, Underground, Transistor) and Clinton Cameron. As Marvin Gaye would say, we "gotta give it up" to Funky Sole. These guys have been doin their thang and doin' it well for 11 years and counting, which is why they hold down Echo Park's best-known club on Saturday nights -- and why you should go. 1822 W. Sunset Blvd., Echo Park. facebook.com/groups/13170825224

I know it's a summer time event, but the Do-Over is way more poppin', got way finer females, is free, no dress code, and the music is dope. Should've gotten some love on this "list".

 @LWKY Agree The Do-Over is great. Written about it a buncha times, but yeah, didn't include because it's a Summer thing. Plus, it was better at Crane's than Lure. :)
