Nautigroove
Bluelighter
After ten years of rocking the boat, disturbing the waters, and testing the patience of the gods, we were finally banished to Hades. However, we were allowed to assemble one last lineup of the year from some of the area’s hottest talent, reaching from Columbus to Indianapolis, Dayton to Louisville and even Detroit, and of course the Queen City for this final journey of 2010 as we pay our coins to Charon, the boatman…and have him take us across the River Styx. But we aren’t going quietly…we’re taking four stages of booming sound and stomping feet with us!
As with every Monster Mash, costumes are HIGHLY encouraged, but not required. This is an all ages event, however there is a cash-only bar available for 21+ with a valid ID. Monster Mash will once again be held at Queen City River Tours and will be hosted on the boats for a cruise. The boats will start loading around 10pm, final boarding and take-off will be around midnight. If you are coming from out of town, make sure you time your departure with enough time to account for traffic. Better to be early than miss the boat! The boats are covered on the top decks and enclosed on the bottom decks, so we sail off for Hades, regardless of the weather!
$15 @ the door | All Ages | 21+ for the cash bar| 859.486.9500 or www.inthegrooveproductions.com for info and directions
No drugs. No outside alcohol. No glass containers. No weapons of any sort. No permanent markers or spray paint. No drama. ROAR for anyone who doesn’t play by the rules. Bring cash for the bar, your water wings, dancing shoes, and your best costume!
Finally, this party marks the official send off for Spunny, who is moving back to California! So buy that girl A LOT of drinks to show her how much we're going to miss her! And don't forget that as always, Monster Mash doubles as Mamagroove's birthday party as well! SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE!

***Vinsanity****
Detroit, MI – LP Events/Massive Detroit - Techno
The Motor City takes their underground music scene VERY seriously. Vince is no exception to this, bringing the very flavor of Detroit with him down to the Ohio River to rock the boat. Mixing Techno and funky house, with plenty of loops and samples mixed in, Vinsanity is as much an engaging DJ as he is a crowd pleaser.
***Hot Mess***
Columbus, OH - Household Management/Drumz/Wreck And Rep – Dubstep
The combined efforts of Keith Swet and Vacate have been hard to miss over the past year. From featured releases on Beatport to demolishing floors up and down the coast. They have shared the stage with many of dubstep's heavyweights and have had their work rinsed by many of the same. Their remix of Blu Mar Ten's "Believe Me" has been receiving worldwide praise. Poised to unleash a slew of new tracks this fall, it will be hard to go a night without getting a little messy.
