We bring Chase & Status, your face caves in.

We decided that it'd be fun to watch you all vibrate at about a billion decibels while screaming your faces off and getting dirty on the dancefloor. There was one obvious way to make this happen: Bring Chase & Status to Portland. That's right, folks, get your gurner face ready, we're gonna cause an earthquake.

More information will be forthcoming, so keep your eyes here. And, in the meantime, look into the most suitably-sized diaper.

That promised "more information": The date is set for April 20th, at the Roseland Theater. Providing the lauded local support will be Red Cube's own James Steele and Jaden and Crush and GBE's Ronin and Ekim.

Get your presales!

Steve Angello... Maybe you've heard of him?

And if you haven't heard of him, we're wondering if this post is even for you. Perhaps you prefer to spend your nights at Dixie? Which is totally cool by us -- that leaves more of those precious pre-sales to those who'll be practically drooling on themselves to get them. And we know you'll be drooling, friends. This is Steve-Swedish-Effing-House-Mafia-Angello. But who are we kidding? You've all heard of him. And we've got him.

That's right, friends, we're bringing you 1/3 of Swedish House Mafia to the Roseland Theater on April 14th, with AN21 and Max Vangeli tagging along for the opening honors. This tour, Size Matter Most (a concept that has a few Cubers feeling a little concerned...), is not only making national stops, but international as well, and despite now being a little preoccupied with our rulers, we've made sure to toss out that proverbial lasso and snag a date for those of you we love most. So! Go get your pre-sales (we expect this one to be another sold out show!), and mark this one on your calendar and, in the meantime, enjoy some teasers...

Naughty-or-Nice: Thanks for making this a success!

Saturday night's joint venture with Ground Breaking Events (GBE), Naughty-or-Nice, at the Bohemia Warehouse, was a huge success. We were grateful to see so many smiling, dancing, sweaty bodies in one place, and we can't thank you all enough for your support.

In a continued effort to keep much of our event practices transparent, and to further encourage dialogue with those who attend our events, we've made a few notes regarding the event.

In taking into consideration feedback and lessons that we learned with our last event, we made efforts to organize the lines a little better this time around. Per many of your request (and the obvious logic they held) we originally set up two lines: one for will-call and another for entry being purchased at the door. Unfortunately, Portland did what it does best and let loose a steady rain that encouraged many of you to seek shelter under the tent, thereby losing the lines and confusing the situation. Despite regulations preventing us from expanding the lines into the street, in an effort to expedite entry and resolve the uncomfortable situation of the rain, we put ourselves on the line and opened another will-call station in the street.

Unfortunately, some of you were not able to make it in to the event. The event was a popular one, and selling out was inevitable. We encourage you to purchase advance tickets to future events. You want to come in and be a part of the events. And we want you there too!

Drinking plenty of water is a good thing! And, boy, did you all drink plenty of it! Next time, there will be more to go around.

We also appreciate your understanding of the necessity of a security pat-down. This ensures your safety and that Red Cube, as well as GBE, are able to continue to offer you quality events in the future.

Thanks again to all of you who came out to make this event such a positive success. We're looking forward to next year, with 2011 already filling up with great shows.

And, as always, we love to hear from you in a constructive manner, whether it be kudos or suggestions. Keep them coming!

Morgan Page. Yeah, you heard us: Morgan Page.

With 2011 already shaping up to be a great year for electronic music in Portland, we here at Red Cube HQ are excited to add on to the list of shows the Grammy-nominated, hugely popular, Morgan Page at Aura Nightclub on Friday, February 11th, 2011. With remixes for Madonna, La Roux, Katy Perry, and Tegan & Sara, as well as wholly underground original stormers under his belt, Morgan is a name largely recognized as being not only boundary-breaking, but just utter quality. This will be his first Portland, OR appearance, and we're happy to be the ones to bring him to you. To warm up the dance floor, we were able to convince (more like, we gave in to repeated begging) Red Cube residents, and local favorites, Gabriel Driscoll and Evan Alexander to combine their talents for a crowd-pleasing tag set.

We'll have more information, such as ticket prices and availability, updated soon, so keep checking back here, or "Like" our Facebook Fan Page.


And, in case you've been sleeping under a rock somewhere and managed to miss this, here's the video of Deadmau5's remix of The Longest Road:

Sir Kutz brings the noise!

Red Cube's own, the very talented Sir Kutz, of Seattle, has just released his newest eargasm (mess thankfully not included), Simplify Mix Sessions Volume 5. Download the newest addition of the Simplify Mix Sessions, courtesy of Simplify Recordings, here and here (if you want the album artwork as well).

You like us? We like you!

We're going to go ahead and go out on a limb here and suppose that, for the most part, you all are well aware of this "Facebook" thingymajig that everyone's talking about. We jumped on that bandwagon some time ago, but more recently we've also created our very own personal fan page. What does this mean for you? Well, gosh darnit, we're glad you asked!

If you Like our fan page, you'll automatically be given the opportunity to win one of five free tickets that we'll be giving out on a monthly basis. At the end of each month, we'll draw five random names from the list of fans on our fan page, and announce them at the beginning of the following month! So get your tookus on over to the Red Cube fan page and show us how much you care!

Mark Knight and a DJ with a walker.

Grammy-nominated producer, Toolroom Records owner, world-renowned DJ, and all-around badass, Mark Knight, is coming to Portland. That's right, folks, we've roped him in to help us celebrate the birthday of one of Red Cube's own resident DJs, the very geriatric Jamie Meushaw. Despite the ever worsening osteoporosis, required assistance of a walker, thinning hair (well, no hair, really), and the lingering smell of Depends, Jamie is happily looking forward to ringing in his 34th birthday by opening for one of his heroes. That is, if his hearing isn't the next victim of his age, before the approach of the confirmed date of the 22nd of January.

We here at Red Cube HQ hope that you all come out to celebrate another year in the already too-many-to-count of Jamie's life, at Whiskey Bar on January 22nd, of 2011. Confirmed sets, in order of appearance: Evan Alexander, Jamie Meushaw, and the much laudable Mark Knight.

And a little teaser for your eyes and ears...
