It’s a busy weekend for the Alter Ego crew led by DJ Casper.

On Sunday night, he is curating one of two Tampa Notorious B.I.G. tributes. (The other unaffiliated happening is at Crowbar as part of the venue’s new “Church Sessions” series).

On Saturday morning, however, Casper & friends take their tastes South of Gandy for the launch of Alter Ego’s “Over Easy Music Pop-Up Series.”

The four-stop run of pop-ups finds local tastemakers spinning 90-minute sets at some of the Bay area’s best places to get breakfast.

Casper—Music Director at Alter Ego—told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay said his team is working hard to bring the vibe of Water Street’s music-forward lounge and cocktail club, to neighborhoods in every corner of Tampa, from S.O.G. to downtown, West Tampa and Seminole Heights. The food will be better than a big fat bowl of cereal, too.

Patrons, simply put, should expect to hear tunes that will start any day off properly.

“Think of Bill Withers’ ‘Lovely Day,’ ‘Breakfast Club’ by Z-Trip with Murs and Supernatural,” Casper added. “Just fun, vibey stuff that’s going to be uptempo and danceable.”

And yes, DJs are capable of getting up before lunch, people. “It’s all about balance,” Casper added.
