Posted by Chris at 08:30 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Extravaganza of Ridiculous Proportions VII'm not exactly sure how to explain this one, so lets use the words that the Glasshouse Gallery has given us "One night, two parties, one price, too much fun. Folk and country evening followed by Panda-monium, the Cyborg Panda Masquerade Dance Party." So the best I have figured, is that there is some sort of blues/country/folk extravaganza to begin the evening featuring music from Jeffrey Lewis, Micah Blue Smaldone, Death Vessel, Our Poor Neighbors, Andy Bosie, and Friends Band. Concluding the night will be the "madness with the dancing and the cyborg pandas and the robot battles and the cupcakes and the circus performers and the panda-monium begins. DJs Suggested D and Lady Vitamins. Prizes for best mask."

I'm warning you all now, Its All Gone Pete Tong is my new obsession! I saw a screening on Monday night and it was real good. Ok, let me fill you in a bit if you don't know too much about it. There once was a DJ named Frankie Wilde, who was legendary in Ibizia and in the dance music scene in general. Sadly, he suffers from a degenerative hearing disorder coupled with years of heavy drug use and the pounding beat of the clubs literally crumbled his eardrums leving him completly deaf at the height of his career. After a bit of a melt down, he ended up finding a way to produce an album and spin at Pancha as a deaf DJ. Following that set, he dissapeared from the scene and hasn't been seen since. I totally reccomend you go see the movie as my desription doesn't really do Frankie or the movie justice. Now that we're all caught up and on the same page, I can't find another free screening to send you all to, but there is a Brooklyn premier party at the Stay Gold Gallery tonight. I haven't been able to find many details, except that DJ John XI will be providing the music. It may be worth checking out. Date: Thursday, April 14th ** I heard a rumor that Pete Tong will be doing an in-store at Virgin on Wednesday or Thursday in the Dance area downstairs. Its all very hush hush, so its hard to get details. ** Posted by Lindsay at 07:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Drunk' N' Bass

Sadly I will not be able to amke it this year, so I expect you all to go to the 19th annual Mayday celebration in Tompkins Square Park and report back to me on all the fun I have missed. If you have never been, here are a few things you need to know. A, there are always a slew of great DJs (this years line up hasn't been posted yet but in the past they have included Afrika Bamabaataa, DJ Red Alert, Frankie Bones, Lenny Dee, Carlos Soulslinger). B, expect a big semi-rowdy crowd as its one of the first days everyone has left their houses for the summer, and come on now, how oftern do you get to dance with hundreds of people in a park. And C, don't be scared away by the heavy police presence (please see previous statement if you need an explination), generally if you leave them alone, they leave you alone. For more information check out Blackkat If you want to get involed the folks over there say "We are currently soliciting Circus performers, artists, performers, vendors, political organizations, body-painters, acrobats, clowns, break-dancers, etc. to take parthttp in the festivities. We are also looking for volunteers that can help with promotions, flyering, set up, take down, fundraising and other organizational aspects of this event. Lets make this event belong to everyone!" **Here is an update about this event...Due to some issues with permits from the Parks Department, there will not be a stage this year, and they may have less equipment than normal, but the show WILL go on! This years line up will include MC Baba Isreal (Live Hip Hop) The Kin (Live Rock Band)DJ Chrome (Drum-n-bass), plus performances by Missy Galore, Groovehoops, and others.** Date: Monday, May 1st Posted by Lindsay at 03:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Cinco de Mayo Dance Party"The apartment building behind the apartment building.

So I have to give it up to the guys over at I-Manifest who have managed to build a growing product out of the rest of our whims. On top of being conscious (sweatshop-free tees), and well crafted (each screen is hand pulled), the design voice is well beyond the usual illustrative mimicry and obligatory skull print.

I am expecting this to sound like the bastard child of a drunken affair between DJ Malboro and an early Clash Bootleg but you will just have to roll through to find out. Party starts late at 1:00am.

The Body Temple NYE Party is a world celebration of the new year, literally. I'm not even exactly sure where to begin with this one, so how 'bout we start with music. "GlobeSonic Sound System DJs Fabian Alsultany and Derek Beres burning up the dance floor with their Lush, Electro-Epic, World-Beat Sauce Ushering in the Magic Carpet Ride to the Tantric Divine." Then there isthe swirling, hypnotic sounds of Haale (you may recall us writing about her a few weeks back)and The Body Temple drummers. Ok so pretty straight forward thus far, but here is where it begins to get tricky, how about a Tantric-Kabbalah, Shamanic Dance ritual? And if that's not enough what about an Aerial Dance & Cirque Nouveau by FireFlyDance. And in case it's still not enough, there is Dancefloor puppetry, Urban Gypsy Circus Body Painters, The Lovelixer Chill Lounge, The Live Cafe - featuring sensual food, elixers, and insane Raw Chocolate Decadence. Come on now, chocolate decadence! Madness I tell you, madness! The insanity comes with a price though, $35 in advance and $450 at the door.

However we tend not to talk about it 'round these parts due to the $10 price tag, but I swear in 2006, I will get out there at some point. Anyway, if you want to get a head start on me, you may want to check out The Rub for your NYE. Tonight you got DJ Ayres, Cosmo Baker and DJ Eleven.

Date: Saturday, December 31st Posted by Lindsay at 09:30 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend AllDiscoAllDisco, the local weekly dance party that helped make Williamsburg... well... Williamsburg over this past year is calling it quits. This party got me through many a bored night staring at hipsters at Supreme Trading or watching midwest transplants makeout at Union Pool (side note: if you want to make out with midwest girls in studded belts, go to Union Pool and talk about how you love Wild Turkey). Thankfully, they are going out with a bang in the form of a farewell NYE party. AllDisco opts for a much more relaxed vibe where you can get down without all the usual drama. Dan Selzer and Jeremy Campbell spin a spaced out version of disco-meets-Bedford rock all night with a free champagne toast at midnight. And, of course, Capone's always has free pizza. So come wish a fond farewell to one of the best parties of 2005. Listen to Dan and Jeremy at AllDisco's spaced out halloween party (mp3) Date: Saturday, December 31st Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend CUT NYEOk, first of all, Brooklyn is certainly taking the cake for which side of the river to hang out on this New Years Eve, there are about eight billion parties. And Secondly, when this party came across our "desks" last week, we were a little unvlear if we should post or not, cause we weren't sure if this was like a private, friend only loft party type dealy or all out mayhem. But now it seems the whole world knows about, so you should too. And yes, I am guessing it will be all out mayhem from this brief description... "Bare ankles. PDAcore. Screaming. Waving towels around your head like a helicopter. Pink polos. Gold chains. Dirty sneakers. Clean underwear. Anticking. Flame grills. Hookups. Breakdowns. Cockfights. Twatblocking. Counting down. Coming up. It's New Years Eve dudes. Do not pay money to run around when you can stay in Brooklyn and make out with strangers." So join the boys from Cut for their loft party with DJ's The Captain, Star Eyes, Drop The Lime, Tha Pumpsta, and Andy Pry. Bring your own booze and bring your own friends.

So I got this info a day or two ago and was all like "a party where you have to take a car from Williamsburg? Walk 12 blocks?" But then all night tonight people kept telling me about the chill vibe, the late night fun, the top notch DJs, the bowling (!) and even the cheap drinks. So here it is... Gunther goes down tonight at Galaxie, an out of the way but (aparently) well worth it spot deep in Ridgewood (?). It's just a short car ride away however and the parties goes late, the drinks are cheap, the djs get you going, and they even have bowling and video games. Think roller skating birthday gone wild. If you go, let me know what you think (or buy me a drink because I am sure I'll end up there after the Shakeyface party) Date: Saturday, February 25th Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Bad AttitiudeProject Matt and DJ Elle take to the tuntables to night in an all out Monday "get wasted and party" throwdown.
