When DJ Reese started "Troublemakers" at Jackie 60 in August of 1991 it quickly became one of my favorite clubs.
It was big enough to have fun dancing all night, but small enough to really be more of a bar hang -out than anything else.
Back then the Meat-Packing District was absolutely deserted at night. Except for tranny prostitutes and, if you were out late enough (or early depending on how you looked at it), the "meat" trucks that came to load up on the cow-carcass for deliveries, there really wasn't anything going on there.
Looking at the area now, especially with all the chic boutiques, the High Line, posh eateries, and the Gansevoort Hotel, it's hard to believe it's the same 'hood now.
Reese always seemed to have new tracks before anyone else, and really was one of the good guys DJing back then.
He even hooked me up with a sweet internship at Einsturzende Neubauten's management company through his job as a writer for Soundpool Magazine.
Anyway, here are some pictures from a few nights in Summer/Autumn 1991...
