Black Devil Disco Club
Wednesday Sept 16 at Highline Ballroom

 

Black Devil Disco Club - true pioneers of electronic dance music - are coming to New York for an all-too-rare show...

Unless you spend a lot of your free time in record stores, you may well not have heard of these guys. As Pitchfork says about them " There are some acts so thrillingly obscure and mysterious that to embrace them takes a certain leap of faith. In fact, the lack of a paper trail becomes part of the fun."

But we can tell you that you can expect a night of dark and spooky disco electro....

$20 advance tickets available here

$25 at the door


Highline Ballroom: 431 W16th St.(9th & 10th Aves.)
Doors 9pm. 21+ w/I.D.

Cut Copy - "Hearts on Fire" (VIKING Remix)

At the end of the day, there are really only a handful of remixers out there who have musical ears. You know what we're talking about: all those DJ/producers who can't keep things in the right key, or those other ones who are so harmonically challenged you think their headphones might be broken. And that's before we get into the monotony of their original work.

So when we hear a remix that does exciting things to a track, not only rhythmically but melodically and harmonically too, well...it gets us excited.

Feadz - People Numbers Money Business Teaser

Everybody knows Feadz is nice on the decks, but people seem a little dazed by his releases. Happy Meal was too crazy for most, and we understand; Feadz makes crazy records to use in his crazy sets, and not everybody lives that dangerously.

But if this teaser mix for his upcoming full-length, titled People Numbers Money Business, is any indication, it sounds like the man has decided to make something for the folks at home as well as the dancefloor. Very exciting!
