This Saturday, July 2nd we invite you to start your long weekend by enjoying the summer sun, the fine LIC air and the party sounds by people behind some of the best musical events this city has to offer – RADIO, MNMLKTCHN and SOUND NOIR crews have come together to organize a mini-marathon of awesome music and friendly vibes.

It’s on at 3pm. There will be BBQ and drinks, full-on sound-system and protection in case of unlikely rain. The event is 21+ and FREE but we would appreciate $5 donations to cover the costs.

Calling all the disco dancers, all the music nerds and party mammals.

Our train is about to depart – we’re going on a field trip to the world of Sprinkles. The route leads through the early days of authentic house experience to the far-away universe of Terre’s poignant compositions. It’s been over a decade since he last played in New York, so Terre has prepared a special set of rare un-touched gems and unique edits for the occasion. Whatever you will hear, you can be sure that with DJ Sprinkles music is only half of the story. Helping us welcome her back to NY is the city’s favorite DJ Tim Sweeney of Beats in Space – a man who for the past ten years has been utilizing his frightening knowledge of dance music only for the greater good of humanity, be it at a museum in Manhattan or at a bar in Jakarta.

The party will start off in the basement lounge with sets by J Red and Mike Minogue and expand around midnight to the upstairs gallery where Tim and Terre will be playing all night. Claim your dancefloor space, make sure you are there early to avoid lines and save on reduced admission.

Cameo Gallery is at the back of the Lovin’ Cup Cafe. It’s located in Williamsburg a short walk from Bedford Ave stop of the L train.

See you there!

So happy to find this bit of tropical minimalism.

Original is hard to come by but both songs from that record are on this Sonar Kollective compilation from 2007.

Big love goes out to all of you who came out last Friday for the Adventure Loft party. The vibe was stellar and the moves were fancy. Special thanks go out to Andy Barrett and M.a.D, who helped us to turn the place into much more than it has ever been. Here’s a shot of Andy’s Disco Igloos in their full glory.

After appearing at our party Disco Igloos are now a permanent fixture at the newly opened Cantina Royal (ex-MonkeyTown) in Williamsburg.

This Friday February 25th we are teaming up with Plan B recordings to bring you a one-off special night at a cozy Brooklyn loft filled with analogue sounds and digital art. Manning the decks will be our favorite deep selector Fred P along with Plan B and Sound Noir DJs. Visual excitement will be provided by a diverse team of our creative friends who were very kind to contribute their artwork and ideas, filling the space with surprises and lights fantastic.

Fred P is the name familiar by now to anyone who likes their dance music lush and emotive. After releasing numerous singles and remixes on revered imprints like Laid, Mule and Underground Quality as well as three albums under the name Black Jazz Consortium on his own label Soul People Music he has become a thought-after DJ representing the new house sound of New York at gigs that take him all across Europe and as far as Australia. Fred’s 3rd album entitled “The Incredible Adventures of Captain P” came out just a couple of months ago, taking us on a trip through his deepest sounds yet – have we got a perfect party for you to experience it!

Plan B is one of the most exciting experimental dance music labels to come out recently from our hometown NY. Run by DJ Spider & Lola, the sound of diverse Plan B releases is united by the infectious offbeat rhythms, unusual samples and often brooding atmospheres. Representing this sound in its most engaging and danceable form will be Lola aka Dakini9 (celebrating her birthday!) and a newcomer to Plan B stable Marshallito – a veteran DJ/producer and a Detroit transplant who worked hard together with us to organize this event and especially to put together the high fidelity sound-system.

Starting out and closing the party will be your friends and resident Sound Noir selectors J Red and Andrey Radovski. Nuff said there:)

Completing your audio-visual experience will be Disco Igloos by Andy Barrett, lazer distortions by Urbarian, artful decorations by M.aD. and video manipulations by our resident visionary Lightwerk.

Introducing Dusty Rhodes with a special live performance.

To receive the address and directions to the loft you have to send RSVP email to adventureloft@gmail.com

Hope to see you there;)

There are tracks that are meant to be played before midnight and those that are best appreciated at 10 in the morning. Michel Baumann is equally adept at producing beautiful examples of both either as Soulphiction or Jackmate – the monikers for once are very descriptive of the corresponding musical output. We are big fans of Michel’s skills as a producer, DJ and manager of the brilliant label Philpot, so tonight we are very happy to have a chance to hear him play at the Mister Saturday Night party. See you there?

This exceptional specimen of deep techno was pressed in 2008 as a single-sided vinyl on Phil e (Philpot’s techno off-shoot)

Moving on from freshly released to the well-aged. This is what I was listening to as a kid.

Actually I came across this particular song a couple of years back on Kings of Techno 2xLP compiled by Carl Craig and Laurent Garnier. But at about 8 years old I definitely had a tape with Yello’s album Flag on constant auto-reverse in my knockoff walkman.

I thought most d’n'b would be better off without the usual percussion/wobblebass overload, but these guys went a step further and stripped it down to the core – won’t even call it the same name.

As you might’ve heard (or not) on June 11th Sound Noir will be hosting a party with DJ Sprinkles aka Terre Thaemlitz and Tim Sweeney. We couldn’t be more excited, as both of the artists were at the top of our most-wanted list for the past couple of years and finally it all fell into the right place. Both are amazing DJs with Terre also being a unique and admirably versatile producer who’s body of work spans from blissful ambient on labels like Mille Plateaux to some of the nastiest jacking house on his own Comatonse Recordings. A great lot of Thaemlitz music straddles effortlessly the line between electronic and acoustic while bringing together the sound of the concert hall and the structures found at the dance club. Have a taste of this explosive take on Terre’s original composition by Berlin’s Zeitkratzer ensemble.

The video is by the29nov films – check out their YouTube channel for tons of great music with excellent film edits.

Support Terre Thaemlitz by buying directly from Comatonse store. There’s a whole world to explore on that website.
