New York Ravers, next weekend come get dutty with me on Saturday night at an underground party in Soho details here. Thanks to everyone who came out to Oceans of Blood and skanked out this past Friday, great party. Seems like I’m getting asked more and more to play at these underground jams in informal locations more and more, I’m really happy to see them happening again after many years of being verrrry bored going to regular clubs in NYC. Support these events and let’s keep ’em happening.
In which our Intrepid Soundboy shall perform in front of a mandala made from bioluminescent toothpaste…

Late night this SATURDAY, Washington D.C. DUTTY ARTZ rolls deep: Me, Matt Shadetek, and Jahdan Blakkamoore live pon di mic. We’re hoping Michelle & the girls will make it out of the White House for this one. This is the 1st time I’ve ever played D.C. so let’s get sweaty.

[cross-posted to Mudd Up!.]
off to Knoxville’s Big Ears festival! It sports an action-packed lineup (The Ex, The xx, jj, GGD, Nico M, Joanna N, et al). I’ll be performing three times, in fairly different contexts:
Sometimes Andy & I go way out. Sometimes, like here, I’ll let a beat play for awhile and we gather corners together until it feels like a song.

“Nothing lasts forever” writes Cesar Aira, “something else always happens.” Needless to say, it sounds – is – much better in Spanish.
A side-effect of Andy playing with me is that he gets confused even more frequently with the popular British trance DJ of the same name. Eventually we’re gonna accidentally get booked to play with Tiesto, I know it.

and this audio is from a gig we did in Holland last summer, here overlaid with an anonymous Iranian video on the eve of election protests (remember those green twitter jpgs? ah, slacktivism! ah 2009!):

I can’t believe I missed this phenomenal banger from Quik and Kurupt… I guess singles culture kept me from listening to all of BlaQKout… BUT DAMN!!
If your feeling like getting out on Friday in NYC- Mosholu Park, Tombs and myself will be tearing up one very small part of the massive FLUX FACTORY space up in Queens.

Here’s a new remix from Uproot Andy and Geko Jones. I’ve heard “Manuelita†a few times already, usually during the early hours of the night, warming and shaking up party people. Here’s what Geko said about “Manuelita” to The FADER’s Ghetto Palms …track is a remix we’ve just made of a traditional style Colombian bullerengue song. Doing these kinds of remixes blending folkloric music with club music is one of the sounds that has come define our party and this kind of remix has itself really become traditional for us over the last year or so.
Gex and Andy are currently on tour, coming thru your city or a city near you. Que Bajo?! sound system pushing forward with Boima tomorrow in San Fran!

Having only been away from the states for nine months I’m amazed at the diversity of produce available at the grocery store. I’m equally excited about the excellent shows laced up and down the best coast these next few weeks.
First up is Tim Turbo from Seen (aka the non-hippie reggae and dance hall site) and Danny Scrilla doing dates down California and then over into Texas… “equipped with black duffle bags, brimful with Ghetto Lazerbass.”

About ten minutes into my set last night on top of a Ukranian stone carring ship thats docked on the Danube river my subs had unexpected consequences on the distribution of heat on the surface of the earth…. A massive wind storm whipped up- for fears that the roof of the boat might fly down towards the Black Sea (and my needles flying around like leaves)… we had to cut things short. HOWEVER……..
