From Berbatti's:

Prince and associated artists go toe-to-toe on the dance floor against Michael and the Jackson family – this is the ultimate dance party! DJ's mix album cuts, remixes, rare tracks and classics from their extensive music collections to battle it out on the turntables. This face-off always promises to be a dance marathon – “I Wanna Be Your Lover” takes a swing at “PYT (Pretty Young Thing),” only to be pounded by “Wanna Be Starting Somethin,” which had better watch it's back when “Kiss” comes around.

Update: 2008/2009 Portland New Years event info here

This event is presented by bombhiphop.com who have successfully produced 29 of these parties in San Francisco as well as Seattle, Portland and Bend. “As a concept for a DJ battle, Prince vs. Michael is brilliant,” writes SF Weekly's Hiya Swanhuyser. This dance party event features music from Prince, Michael, The Time, The Jackson 5, Sheila E., Janet Jackson, Vanity 6 and many more. Who will win, The Purple One or the King of Pop? Who cares… this is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and celebrate the music of both these pop stars.
