Mix Master Mike TOMORROW @ whiskey bar

Just a reminder, tomorrow night Mix Master Mike is going to be playing at the whiskey bar. He's the legendary DJ from the Beastie Boys, if you didn't know. Its going to be crazy, doors open @ 9pm get there son!


On a separate note, My song for the week for you to check out is Ayla - "Ayla 2010" (Jerome Isma-Ae remix).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U46kp5_idoE&feature=related

The original song, Ayla, was one of the first techno/trance songs I'd heard since getting introduced into the genre. Back when Napster first came out and the only way I knew to find dance music was by putting "RAVE" or "TECHNO" into the search engine, this was one of the tracks I burned onto my first Trance CD. I'm sure many of you all were raving back in the day to this song. So its always cool to hear an old classic redone.

The remix is done by one of my favorite progressive house producers, and he does a great job at updating an old classic to today's progressive sound. He also adds a dark mood to it that's original to his style.

That's all I got. Check it out. Till then, SEE YOU TOMORROW!

Paul Oakenfold Wed Oct 13th @ roseland

This is going to be epic. Paul Oakenfold was the first electronic DJ I started to worship when getting involved in the genre. His live sets around '99-'02 were absolutely legendary. My personal favorite, Live @ gatecrasher 1999, is an absolute classic of live trance sets.

check out a sample:

In the late 80's Oakenfold visited Ibiza and was partially responsible for bringing that style of dance music to the mainstream club scene in London. Ever since he's been a pioneer in electronic music, and probably one of the most influential over his career.

He now has a residency in Las Vegas and hosts some of the biggest DJ's in the world to play along side him.

Get ready cause this is going to be huge!

OHH WHATUP

So very pumped for these two shows...

SONG OF THE DAY: Gareth Emery feat. Lucy Saunders - Sanctuary

NERO ROCKED/HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRI!

First off, I wanna say last night ROCKED. It was officially my first full on Dubstep show, and my face was well melted by 2:00am. Nero Brought it hard. Not only are they an amazing producers and remixers, but as a Dj he did an amazing job as well. He blasted song after song that kept the crowd hooked, there wasn't a single moment of lull in his set. He even through in some electro house! Which I'm pretty sure he was playing for me personally, he just knew somehow ;) At the end of the night there was definitely a shoe on the stage, which can only mean that during a Nero set, clothes and belongings become obsolete. So Dubstep fans, if you have the sudden urge to take off your garments in a moment of inspiration while being rocked on by a DJ, I'm here to tell you that its OK. Hopefully I can get my hands on some pics in the next few hours and throw em up for you guys. Thanks for coming out to the show everyone it was most crazy

If last night wasn't enough for you or if you didn't make it out, today is Bri's offical birthday party! Come out to whiskey, its free all night! And we've got some of our best local Djs throwing down.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRIANNA CROW!

Make sure to buy her a shot of tequila when you see her. Hornitos, Cazadores, or Patron!

NERO @ WHISKEY ON THURSDAY 8/4

Just a friendly reminder, if you dig the D&B and Dubstep scene, these guys are here tomorrow!

Here's a post from an electronic music blog I frequent on the duo's ongoing tour:

"Nero has just kicked off a north american tour that nobody should miss out on. I had the pleasure of seeing their first ever US show and it was insanely CRUNCHY. These guys have a skill for unleashing a tsunami of BASSS that sounds clean. Do what you must do in order to get to any of these shows. "
