Tittsworth - yeah, i said it...

little warm up for new years for anyone interested... Tittsworth rolls into Shine tonight for a night of bmore, electro, house - you name it. There's a spot on titts in the latest issue of our own ion magazine, if you want a little more than this last-minute, lazy journalist post...

& if you're willing to brave the slush out there he's known world over for laying down killer sets. Check out the mix he did last august for his album release "12 steps":

Nadastrom does Shine this weekend!!!

Aight, here's my lazy writer press pic of Nadastrom (Dave Nada & Matt Nordstrom of Washington, DC fame). They did that American Boy remix that was all over the web a month or two ago. Y'know, the one with the wobble bass & the bmore break... no.?.?.?

this one:

Nice, yeah?

Anyways, the boys are in town this weekend at Shine & word has it they tear up the dancefloor in their sets. If you wanna get out & get sweaty this weekend, I think this's the place to do it!

& just in case you thought i was just gonna leave you with only that tiny little taster... nope!

check it out, got a mix by Dave Nada - doin' his bmore thing - to get you in the mood for the weekend. See you this weekend!

Mad Decent!!!

Mad Decent this Thursday @ Richards!!! Gonna be killer - DO NOT MISS THIS!!!

Diplo's an absolute floor killer, loads of production & a million remix credits under his belt - he's done production for Santogold, & M.I.A., to name some of his bigger collabs. I mean, he's the guy that blew M.I.A. up in the States... Check the mix out below, electro, danchall, hip hop, bmore, you name it, he'll mash it up in there - don't miss it!!!

Mad Decent might just be the most important label you've heard of, this decade or next. Diplo started it in 2006 & if you wanna know what music's gonna look like after another decade or so of global mashups, this is where you need to be looking. Bonde do Role, DJ Blaqstarr, Boy 8-Bit, South Rakkas Crew (mad again!!!), Hollertronix, Crookers (do I need to go on???). If Ninja Tune was the last of the old British Guard on their way out the door, then Mad Decent's what it sounded like when the locals finally got their hands on the controls.

Check out the blog at maddecent.com or get the podcast for Mad Decent Worldwide Radio at iTunes or here. You can thank me later.

Halloween Warm-ups...

Wicked... wicked, wicked, wicked, week coming up, kids! bu-sy!!! Crystal Castles (can-con alert!) were supposed toset if off next Monday at the Commodore, but seems the shows been cancelled (booo...). S'ok tho, Soulwax are doing a live set on Wednesday at the Plaza as part of their "Part of the Weekend Never Dies" documentary tour. Check the teaser video, there's a couple of brilliant one-liners in there, you'll see what i mean...



what'd I say, yeah??? These guys tour all the time (just not up here) & their sets are supposed to be pro. They've got an album of remixes that came out a while ago that you should absolutely be listening to, right now. Seriously. Right now.

And then, and THEN... of course... the one we've all been waiting for... MAD DECENT!!! yeeeaaaahhhh!!! Oct30 at Richards it's Diplo, Boy 8-bit & more - gonna be killer, no lie. More posts on Diplo & the Mad Decent crew to come for sure, got a mix by Boy 8bit & a killer Diplo mix that I'll be posting in a bit so check back soon!!!

(looks like another expensive week coming up... )

M.A.N.D.Y.

Stereotype celebrates their 2nd anniversary this Friday at Celebrities! Berlin minimalist duo, M.A.N.D.Y., co-founders of Get Physical Records (alongside Booka Shade), headlines the party so we should see a pretty killer set of minimal techno & house. (& maybe a bit of Falco, too?.?.? what???) 

Dug up an old mix from 2005 when M.A.N.D.Y did a live set for BBC Radio1. Promises to be a sweaty night...

(somehow, 2 hours of German techno seems like something I should recommend against tho, doesn't it???)

The Presets (& Cut Copy too...)

wow. been a while, yeah? too long, you say?! well we're back, just in time for one of the best shows this fall - if the price of tickets on Craigs List is any indication ($100 each, wtf?!?!)

Anyways, if you can't make the show tonight at the Commodore (cause it's been sold out for a while now), you should definitely consider dragging yourself out to Republic for the what-now-appears-to-be-obligatory afterparty DJ set.

And in the spirit of afterparty sets, & in recognition of the fact that it's been way too long since we've given out some musical goodness around here (for shame!!!) I tracked down this half-hour DJ set by the Presets, live on BBC 6 radio. Pretty nice little set, heavy on the 80's - check the tracklist, we got Crockett's Theme from Miami Vice in there!!! (ahhh, Crockett, where are you now???), some Vangelis, a little Hercules & Love Affair...

(Be warned - at the start of the recording there's 20 seconds of silence that I was too lazy to cut out. Dunno where it came from, cause it's not in the original, just the rip, but... meh. mr_)
