It’s been a longstanding local tradition that, the night before you suffer through a meal with actual family, you kick up your heels with chosen family at the Beacham — soundtracked by legends of Orlando dance music in memory of legendary dance night AAHZ.

This Wednesday’s Thanksgiving Eve rave-up tweaks the familiar formula to host an eclectic lineup of Orlando All-Stars: Kimball Collins, Dave Cannalte, Jimmy Joslin, Magic Mike, DJ Icey, BMF, Cliff T and Carlos Mendoza (the latter two going hard with a tag-team all-vinyl retro set).

“The vibe of the night celebrates a selection of DJs who have years in the profession in Orlando as trailblazers and successful artists,” explains Icey to Orlando Weekly.

“For my set I will be incorporating remixes from late-night jams that were played in The Edge nights, among other remixes,” he adds. “This set will be all remixes spanning genres but all breakbeat or Electro Bass-style.”

Icey credits 1990s AAHZ night at the Beacham for kickstarting the Orlando dance music boom, so there’s plenty of history in these walls. Maybe some more will be made Wednesday.

8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26, The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $20-$75.
